THREE PROMISES TO THOSE WHO WILL STAY AWAKE- We must be watchful, and care for the goods of His house. Tonight, at Family Worship Center, Joseph Larson reads Mark 13:34-37 and Mark 14:1-9 teaching on worship in the life of a believer. Mary, Lazarus’ sister, saw Jesus for who he was, as she rested at His feet. This behavior will provoke the religious crowd, scoffing at the waste. Brother Joseph says we must pray to see Him as Mary did. Her expensive ointment poured out was a symbol of worship. Worship is who we are, and it must flow forth, giving praise to our Savior and Lord. True worshippers come in spirit and in truth. When our eyes are opened, then we can walk in the perfect timing of God. He has a deep well of His power, Spirit, and revelation. When we truly worship Him as we were created to do, Jesus will oversee our reward. He is worthy of it all. Let the true worshipers arise!

GOD’S ANSWER TO OUR EMOTIONAL WELL-BEING- All born again people have been renewed. Today at Family Worship Center, Pastor Donnie Swaggart reads Philippians 4:5-9 teaching on the mental health of the believer. We can be encouraged, God sees our every need. Satan does his best to detour the believer by attacking our minds with fear, doubt, and worry. Brother Donnie says we must know we are saved by faith, not by feelings. Christ died on Calvary’s Cross for our physical and emotional well-being. Prayer and praise will rise up in the heart as we look to Him for every storm we face. Through it all, we can find joy by knowing the devil can’t touch our soul. We may walk through some valleys, but we don’t have to buy property there. As believers, we must know, on this earth, we are just passing through. Heaven is our eternal home. We can trust in the good things God has for His children, for His peace surpasses all understanding.

Tonight, at Family Worship Center, Pastor Donnie Swaggart and panel read Titus 2:6-10 teaching on the qualities of a healthy church, using the first church under the leadership of Titus as an example. The experience of the elder, men and women, in the church, is needed just as much as the energy that the young people bring. The representation of every age group is found in a healthy church. Pastor Donnie explains how when we are in Christ, we will have fruit in our lives. This does not mean we can work out our salvation; but a true salvation, will show forth fruit in our lives. Correct doctrine must be lifted up, which always flows from the finished work of Christ. Truth will transform lives.

NOT BY MIGHT, NOT BY POWER, BUT BY THE SPIRIT OF LORD- Today at Family Worship Center, Pastor Donnie Swaggart reads Zechariah 4:1-7 teaching on the power of the Holy Spirit in the life of a believer. Pastor Donnie shares how Satan is powerful in his effort to destroy the plan of God, but God is omnipotent. Satan initially comes against Israel, trying to halt the lineage that Christ would come from. We see the same today with the rise of anti-Semitism in the world and the evil that comes against the Jewish people. Brother Donnie warns the Christian of the anti-Semitism infiltrating the church and the false doctrine of Reformed Theology. Despite all the efforts of Satan, the Temple of God will be rebuilt in Jerusalem, and ruled by our Redeemer Jesus Christ in the Millennial Reign. Until then, every believer is called to do our part in building the Kingdom of God. We are vessels, filled with the Holy Spirit, which holds a never ending supply of the power of God. Though opposition is expected, we can be encouraged; we are soldiers in the army of the Lord, the battle is His, and it has already been won.

CAPERNAUM CHRISTIANITY- Tonight, at Family Worship Center, Guest Speaker, from Crossfire Youth Ministries, Tanner Kratzer reads Matthew 11:15-24 teaching on an all-in faith. There is always a response to the King, the gospel, and the Word of God. Just as the unsaved are critical of the church; we know, many Christians can be critical of the message and the messenger. The citizens of Chorazin and Bethsaida were indifferent; they personally saw Christ, and knew His teachings and miracles, yet did not repent. Jesus contrasted these two cities with Tyre and Sidon, which were viewed as evil. Jesus said, if these two pagan cities had known what Capernaum residents had known, they would have repented. Jesus is looking at the condition of our hearts; beware, if you are indifferent, apathetic, or complacent to the preaching of the gospel. There should always be a changed heart, a transformation in the life of the hearer of the Word of God.

Tonight, at Family Worship Center, Pastor Donnie Swaggart and panel read Titus 2:1-5 teaching on the mission of Titus, directed by the Apostle Paul, to set the early church in order. He addressed the conduct of church leaders, and the false doctrine being brought in. Looking first, at the ethics in ministry, and the importance of searching out truth in scripture, as it is the only uncorrupted doctrine. The elder men and women were directed to possess what they professed as the younger men and women of the church are watching. When God’s truth is proclaimed, fruit is the result. We must not use our liberty in Christ for the occasion of the flesh. The Cross is the only foundation from which all sound doctrine flows.

AS THE MANNER OF SOME IS- New Covenant believers are called to gather together. Tonight, at Family Worship Center, Evangelist David Borg reads Hebrews 10:19-25 teaching on the assembling of believers in the body of Christ. Brother Borg says believers today are forgoing gathering together, which is not pleasing in the eyes of the Lord. Believers are called to be aware of one another, sharpening, and encouraging one another in the faith. We are not to be spectators in this walk of faith, but active participants in the body of Christ giving God the glory. When we think of revival and the moving of the Holy Spirit, Brother Borg reminds us, that the river is flowing, we just need to get in it.

THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST IS THE GREATEST RESCUE MISSION KNOWN TO MAN- Today at Family Worship Center, Pastor Gabriel Swaggart reads Galatians 1:1-5 teaching on the cost involved when we choose Christ as our Lord and Savior. Through His sanctifying grace and peace, we find the process of the Lord is to mold us into the vessels He needs. This is not a grace and peace that can be earned. All believers are called to take the gospel to the lost and build the Kingdom of God; this, is how God is glorified.

Tonight, at Family Worship Center, Pastor Donnie Swaggart and panel read Titus 1:10-16 teaching on sound doctrine and having discernment for false teachers in the church. Brother Donnie warns us that all instigators of false doctrine are always out for personal gain. In this scripture, the Apostle Paul is addressing the Crete citizens, known as liars in the Roman Empire. We need to be able to recognize and discern true leaders, who have genuine qualifications. A pastor’s correction is important, but rebuking must always be done in Godly love. Believers must know when they are not living Biblically correct; when rebuked, the Holy Spirit will bring conviction to any error. Publicly taught false doctrine, should be rebuked publicly. Truth must always be put first, and must align with the Word of God. The Cross of Christ is the dividing line, if one has been to the Cross, their life will be transformed.

He’s an on-time God. Today, at Family Worship Center, Guest Pastor and General Overseer of the International Church of God, Gary Lewis reads Matthew 14:24-29. Bishop Lewis tells us that in the storms of life, we must shift from asking why, and shift to declaring who, if we are to learn from the storms God walks us through. We must learn to trust the sovereignty of God, and His purpose and plan for our lives. He is our intercessor. He knows where we’ve been, and He knows where we are, and He knows where we are going. Stop worrying about the now, He is preparing us for our next. God already has our next. His time is always the right time. When He comes to us in our storms, He comes with victory in His hand. Regardless of our circumstances, He is worthy of our worship. Sometimes we have to go through a storm to see who Jesus really is. What if, God has on the other side of our storm, a miracle waiting for us? We serve a God that still does the miraculous.
