The battle for our children is one of the most important battles we will fight. The Bible says we should, "Train up a child..." or "Direct your children on the right path." Which path is correct? In this message in the "This Is War" series, Abraham defines the two approaches to God people take and encourages us to approach God with a tree of life attitude and direct our children to take that same path.

Yes, there really is a devil. And while we should not be overly focused on him, or see a demon in every bad thing that happens, we also can't ignore what the Bible says about Satan and his intentions. In this first message in the "This Is War" series Pastor Daryle Williams challenges us to be awake to the plans of the devil, and to realize that Jesus is always victorious!

How do I know if God really loves me? How do I know if He really forgives me of my sins? How do I know if God wants me to be His child? In this final sermon in the "Mind Games" series, Abraham LaVoi challenges us to believe that because Jesus was the Passover Lamb, our standing with God has been settled once and for all.

When God's people, the Israelites, were freed from slavery in Egypt, God did many great miracles among them - yet, they complained! Their problem - they had trained their minds to complain rather than to be thankful. In this message in the "Mind Games" series, Pastor Daryle Williams is joined by psychologist and counselor Donisa Hammond and together they challenge us to reprogram our minds to be grateful.

The sermon series "Mind Games" encourages us that, although depression, emotional trauma, and mental distress are real and debilitating struggles, God has a plan to free us and give us renewed minds. In this message, Pastor Williams let's us know we can change our thinking by believing in the power of God to change us, meditating on God's Word, and deciding which thoughts we will dwell on.

Sometimes, our mind plays dangerous, life-altering games that cause anxiety, depression, fear, and worse. But, the Bible has an answer for how to win when our brain doesn’t play fair. It all begins with our internal thoughts, positive and negative, and they really do matter.

The supernatural is a popular subject in our culture - from movies to books to television shows - we accept the supernatural in our entertainment. But God wants to give us a real experience of His supernatural power and presence every time we gather as a church. It's not weird or scary, it is God's plan and purpose for all His children.

The word "church" comes from the Greek word "ecclesia" which means "a gathering of people for a purpose." The church is not a building or a system or an ideology - it is a gathering of imperfect people for the purpose of proclaiming the saving power of Jesus.

What are the characteristics that make up a church you can love? High up on the list should be that a church prioritizes prayer. As we launch our 21 Days of Prayer and Fasting, Pastor Daryle Williams emphasizes that First Church is a church of prayer.

What defines a church? What makes a church pleasing in the eyes of God and faithful to the Biblical definition of a church? Abraham LaVoi launches the "I Love My Church" series with a message on the necessity of being a church patterned after the first church in the Bible.
