EASTER 2023: "HOPE IS HERE" - PASTOR JASON BAUGH

When is Jesus coming back? What role does the antichrist play in it all? Will things get better or worse for Christians? What do we do in the meantime? All of these questions and more are addressed in our final installment of this series through 1 and 2 Thessalonians. Join us as we wrap up "Busy Waiting." 

Description: As followers of Jesus, we are not only supposed to live differently, but we are also supposed to view death differently. Is Jesus coming back? What do we do in the meantime? This week, we take a look at 1 Thessalonians chapter 4 to see how we can be "busy," while waiting for death.

This week, we take a look at first Thessalonians chapter three to see how we can grow stronger over time to face the battles that are ahead of us! 

Is this worth it? That is the question the young church in Thessalonica was struggling with. This week, we look at the first two chapters in 1 Thessalonians to see how Paul established the church and how he encouraged them to have hope that is confidently waiting, rather than wishful thinking.

In Acts 8, we see the early church is under attack, yet it is spreading rapidly. This week, we take a deeper look at a Samaritan magician named Simon Magnus. Simon learns a lesson about being more in awe of the miracles of God then the God of miracles.

God can use anyone and anything to carry out his purpose. This week, we take a look at Numbers 22 and the story of Balaam to see how God used a pagan prophet, a donkey, and an angel to protect the Israelites.

How do we handle times of adversity? Why is prayer a last option for us? This week, we look at an obscure teenage servant named Rhoda and how she acted when God answered a big prayer.

Have you ever heard about the obscure story of Ehud in the Bible? This week we take a look at Judges 3 and see how God used Ehud's weakness to usher in eighty years of peace.

This week we take a look at the epistle of Jude. Who was Jude? Why did he write this letter? How can we recognize false teachers, fight against them, and persevere in our faith? You fight for what's important to you!
