 Gods favor is tangible evidence that you have his approval. But what happens when that evidence is no longer present? Can we lose favor with God? Biblically speaking, when we dishonor God he will no longer accept our worship. That being said, can our relationship with our spouse affect our relationship with God? Join us this week as Bro. Gary hits a hard topic and walks us through the truth of divorce!

  Many of us have felt the pressure of a threat. It can come from many different people, parents, peers, or even a boss at work. But have you ever felt a serious threat from the Lord? In Malachi’s day That’s exactly what happened when the priests sought to be popular instead of teaching the truth. Join us this week as Bro. Gary Teaches why it is vitally important for us to seek out the truth rather than what will make us feel good. 

 It’s a known fact that Dads don’t like being disrespected. Come to think of it, I don’t think any one likes to be disrespected. But so often that’s how we often treat our heavenly father. When God demands our very best we often give only the very least.  So how then do we find favor with a Holy God? Join us this week as we continue our study through the book of Malachi! 

 Just like anything else, if we don’t do the maintenance to keep our spiritual health up it will fail. Time will erode us to our foundation and test how truly firm we stand. When the truth is revealed we must respond. What does a right response to the truth look like? Do we take it into our own hands or rely on God? Join us as Bro. Chris shows us what a God pleasing response looks like. 

 Often times, we can find ourselves estranged from our family. It may stem from many different reasons, but it ultimately leads to just going through the motions at the family dinner. This happened between man and God over and over in history with devastating consequences. Join us this week as Bro. Gary shows us just how easily we can find ourselves estranged from our Lord, and how to overcome it. 

 Mistakes. We all make them. Are they simply an oversight, or are they driven by something larger? Let’s face it. The biggest mistakes you will make this year will be driven by selfishness and sin. When we pursue our own happiness in things of the world we can be sure that it will only lead us to self-destruction. Join us this week as Bro. Gary teaches us the true joy in the pursuit of God. 

Relationships get messy. Especially with family through the holidays. But Jesus tells us before we come to God, we should reconcile with our brother. (MT 5:24) In some way, we’ve all felt the pain of Esau after Jacob stole his birth right. But the story doesn’t end there. It ends in a beautiful reunion. How can this be? Join us this week as Bro. Chris Maddox shows us what reconciling to a holy God looks like. 

Receiving any gift begins with unwrapping it. Each believer has a spiritual gift, but very few actually ‘unwrap’ it to see what it is. Further, we are each held accountable for how we use our gifts. But how can we use a gift if we never take it out of the box. Join us this week as Bro. Gary teaches us how to unwrap our gift and put them to powerful use in the kingdom of God.
