When life is good, it's easy to quote Romans 8:28 that "all things work together for good." But when life is not so good, is this verse still true? Are other verses in the Bible still true when our life circumstances do not fit with the promises of the Bible? The answer is YES. It's not that the Bible promise is lacking, it's that our understanding or perspective is lacking. Today, Pastor Gary takes us through Romans 8:28 so that we can have a proper understanding and perspective of God's promise that "all things work together for good."

“Why do good things happen to bad people?” This is a question that Asaph, the writer of Psalm 73, wrestles with as he juxtaposes the eternal destiny of the wicked with that of the righteous. Do you know where you would spend eternity if today were your last day on earth? In today’s message entitled “Which Side Are You On?”, Pastor Austin challenges us to no longer live in the “middle” but to pick a side and be all-in for Jesus no matter the cost.

Encountering Jesus changes lives from the inside out. He calls anyone to follow him, but it doesn’t come without sacrifice.  He came to us, He sees us, and we are found by Him.  Will you follow?

An In-depth study of 1 Kings 3.

Did you ever try running away from home as a kid hoping your parents would beg you to come back home? In Revelation 2, Jesus calls the Ephesian church to “Come back home!” Why? What were they doing wrong? Jesus commends them for all the things they’re doing well, but He says there is one thing they lack–love. It’s possible to do a lot of things for God but not be in love with God. In today’s message, Pastor Austin challenges us to avoid cold, mechanical religion and to fall more in love with Jesus.

For the Christian there is a battle within—a battle between our spirit that wants to please the Lord, and our flesh that wants to please self. In Romans 8, Paul gives us three encouraging ways that the Holy Spirit helps us to fight the battle of the flesh and spirit: He empowers us, adopts us, and prays for us. Pastor Gary explains all this in today’s teaching, “Winning the War Within.”

In Romans 8, Paul opens and closes the chapter with two important exhortations: (1) There is no condemnation and (2) There is no separation from the love of God for those who are in Christ Jesus. Too many Christians still walk around under the heavy weight of condemnation, shame, and guilt. In addition, some Christians believe the lie that God doesn't really love them. In this study, Pastor Gary exposes the lies we believe from either Satan, others, or ourselves. Follow along in today's study entitled, "No Condemnation, No Separation."
