More than 300 prophecies are written in the Old Testament concerning the first coming of the Messiah. All of them were fulfilled by Jesus. Matthew quotes 5 of those prophecies in the first two chapters of his gospel pertaining to the birth of the Messiah and how Jesus fulfilled them. Why is it important to understand these prophecies? Pastor Gary answers that as he explains each of the five prophecies in today’s study in our series “The Road to Christmas.”

An in-depth study of Hebrews 6:4-6.

The Christmas story involves a miracle—something that is of Divine origin and of a supernatural cause rather than from human ingenuity or natural causes. Christmas is when God made His grand entrance into the human race to be like us to die for us. But what do we know about the conception of Christ? There are many myths and falsehoods about the miracle of Christ’s conception. Pastor Gary walks us through the Bible account of the miracle of Christ’s conception in today’s study from Isaiah 7.

An in-depth study of Hebrews 6:1-3.

The word “Christian” is more than just a title—it’s an identity for those who know Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. When we carry the identity of “Christian” it means that we bear the Lord’s Name. It means that we reflect him wherever we go, whatever we do, and with whomever we interact. But the questions become—what are people learning about Christ through us? What is the glimpse of Jesus that we are giving to people? And what things should characterize those who bear the Lord’s Name? In Jeremiah 15, Jeremiah teaches us 5 things about how we should live as men and women who bear the Lord’s Name. Pastor Gary challenges us about those things in today’s study form Jeremiah 15.

An in-depth study of Hebrews 4:14-5:12.

Have you ever wondered why it seems that wicked people prosper and have no difficulties, but people who live for the Lord have adversity and trials? Jeremiah did. He was the target of an assassination plot by his neighbors, friends, and family. He knew what it was to face hardships. But he remained faithful to the Lord despite his trials. How can we face similar difficulties without being overwhelmed by the adversities of life? Pastor Gary takes us through Jeremiah 11-12 to address this subject.

Our annual Thanksgiving Eve service is devoted entirely to worship and testimonies, giving God thanks for all He has done in the past year.

A problem that plagued Israel throughout their history was idolatry. Idolatry is the worship of man-made, hand-carved objects of wood and stone instead of the true and living God. It seems so primitive and senseless to us that people would actually bow down to and worship inanimate objects. Truth is, you don’t have to carve, pray to, or worship something for it to become an idol. Anything that compromises our devotion to God or competes with our affection for God is potentially an idol. An idol is not always something bad itself; it can be a regular thing that becomes an ultimate thing in our lives which we serve with our time, energy, and money. Are there idols in your life that you have elevated above God? Are there things, people, or practices that have stolen your heart and rob God of the glory He is due? Follow along in today’s study with Pastor Gary from Jeremiah 10.
