In the wake of the Coronavirus and COVID-19, it's important to remember that God is our refuge, and he says "Do not be afraid." Pastor KR looks into the scriptures to see how we as a church should not panic, but approach these days with faith, prayer, and common sense.

All of us have sinned and messed up in some way, and very often the Devil likes to bring up our past shortcomings. However God calls us to move beyond our past, and to follow him. Pastor KR teaches about how the grace of God allows even the "chief of sinners" to "press on toward the goal," and how in Christ we can forget our past shortcoming and move forward toward salvation.

The Bible has a lot to say about the condition of the human heart. The heart is the source of our actions, our desires, and our words. Pastor KR speaks on the condition of the human heart, and how God offers to perform "heart surgery" to replace our hardened hearts with hearts that are able to follow Him.

Not every spirit is out there to lead us closer to Christ. In fact the book of 1 John talks about how there are spirits of the antichrist, that try to deceive us. John tells us to "test the spirits." In this message Pastor KR goes over some simple ways to test these spirits against the word of God, and how to avoid being led astray.

Valentines day is just around the corner, and a lot of people are focusing on getting gifts for those they love. In the Bible, there are four different kinds of love mentioned. Pastor KR breaks each of these down, and teaches us how to show true love, the love of God, to the world and to each other.

In the book of Luke, Jesus tells a story of a man who, upon being blessed with abundance, decides to store it all away, and then rest secure in his riches, without realizing that he would die that night, and all those riches would go to waste. Freshly back from a missions trip to Uganda, Pastor KR speaks on the dangers of coveting material wealth, learning to be content with what we have, and learning to use what we have in wise, God-honoring ways.

Did you know that breakfast is only mentioned one time in the Bible? Guest Pastor David Culbertson digs into this passage where Jesus eats breakfast with his disciples, reflecting on how Peter went back to his roots, where he first met Jesus, when he needed to clear his head. 

In the Gospels, Jesus makes an odd statement, saying that people cannot follow him unless they "hate" their father, mother, wife, children, and even themselves. Looking closer at the word "hate" it originally meant to "love less." Pastor KR gives us a reminder that we ought to love God more than anything else, so that we can show love of God to everyone around us.

What is Joy? Interestingly enough the dictionary definition and the Biblical definition of the word "Joy" are radically different. When looking at joy in the Bible it becomes clear that Joy comes from knowing and following God, through the Holy Spirit. Pastor KR teaches us about how we can learn to experience more joy in our lives, by growing closer to God.

People can tell a lot about us by what we choose to wear. As followers of Christ it is important that we wear certain attributes that glorify God and point to Him. As we start off this new year, choose to clothe yourself with things such as Mercy, Kindness, and Gentleness.
