Jesus was not the king the Jews were looking for - born in a stable to poor parents and destined for a life of humility and servitude. Today, He’s not the God some people are looking for, either. Nevertheless, the King is coming and we don’t want to miss the hour of His visitation!

God did a lot to prepare the way for Jesus, making plans from the very beginning and sending prophets along the way. We did nothing to prepare for His first coming but sin. Pastor Dennis reminds us of the importance of preparing for His second coming.

“If you are willing and obedient, you will eat the good of the land.” God’s blessings cannot be earned, but they are conditional upon our obedience to Him, our faith in Him and our willingness to humbly comply with His will.

Emotions are good in their proper place - God wired us with them to enhance our lives. Our emotions are not intended to lead us, though. Emotions are always changing and are impossible to tame. Devotion, on the other hand, is a more permanent thing - we will remain devoted to something tomorrow that we are devoted to today. Devotion is required to make the world operate and it’s required to be married to your faith if you are to truly serve God!

No matter who we are and what our past is, God is seeking us out to fill us with His Spirit, turning these worthless earthen vessels into great treasures!

Indecision is the wrong decision. This is a must-see, as we choose sides in today’s world.

We have all become accustomed to spending time apart due to the very necessary practice of quarantine. We must be careful not to become accustomed to growing apart - physically and spiritually. We need each other, we need to be gathered together!

Pastor Dennis Walton, Associate Pastor Jeff Conger, Brother Steve Russell and Brother Matt Knapp each share about how God's people can work together to become more than just a collection of people with a common cause, becoming an effective body of Christ.

When the plague of darkness fell upon the land of Egypt, the Egyptians were struggling to make it through three days of total, oppressive darkness. The Israelites in the land of Goshen, however, had light in their homes. God provides for us in the darkness!

When the temple was consecrated, God sent fire down from Heaven to light the fire for the altar of burnt offerings. The priests were to keep that fire burning all the time and any fire for sacrifice or for burning incense in the temple was to be taken from that fire God had initially started.

Aaron’s sons Nadab and Abihu got fire from their own source, strange fire that God had not ordained and they were destroyed by fire from Heaven. Nadab and Abihu had the idea that they would worship God in their own way, but God wants us to do things His way - with our whole heart, in spirit and in truth.
