NEW SERMON SERIES: I’m Not Leaving: Developing Spiritual Disciplines That Drive DecisionsToo many Christians rely on feelings to follow God, but feelings fade. In this message, we unpack 1 Timothy and explore how spiritual disciplines anchor your faith, prevent spiritual drift, and strengthen your walk with Jesus, especially when emotions run dry.📖 Learn how to:• Stay grounded in truth• Train for godliness• Build habits that lastIf you’ve ever felt like giving up, this is for you.

This isn’t just the end of the story, it’s the beginning of everything we’ve been living for. Revelation 19 and 21 show us what’s coming: Jesus returns in power, evil is defeated, and a new heaven and new earth are on the way.

No one regrets walking with Jesus. No one regrets staying faithful to His Word. The only regrets in eternity will come from living for the wrong things. But those who endure? Those who fix their eyes on what lasts? They rejoice. They reign. They live forever in the presence of the King.

In this message, we unpack what it means to live with no regrets, to follow Jesus now with eternity in mind, and to keep going when the world pulls you toward temporary things. If you’ve ever wondered if it’s worth it… it is.

This isn’t just some end-times horror story. Revelation 13 is a wake-up call. A beast rises, powered by Satan himself. The world falls for it. They worship it. They say, “Who is like the beast?” But they’re singing the wrong song.

The enemy isn’t creative—he just distorts. He twists the truth, mocks God, and tries to steal what only belongs to Jesus. But here’s the thing: God’s people don’t bow. They endure. Their names are written in the Book of Life, and their King is coming back.

In this message, we unpack how the Antichrist rises, how deception spreads, and why knowing the truth of Jesus keeps us standing when the world falls apart. If you’ve ever wondered how to follow Jesus in a world that’s losing its mind, this one’s for you.

👊🏻 Stay faithful. Stand strong. Jesus wins.

In a world full of uncertainty, how do we stand firm in our faith? Revelation 11 shows us that true confidence isn’t found in circumstances—it’s found in Christ.

This message unpacks three powerful truths:

1️⃣ Courage comes from the size of God, not the size of the conflict. If He calls you to it, He will see you through it.

2️⃣ The enemy can’t hurt what is in God’s hands. When you surrender every part of your life to Him, the enemy loses his grip.

3️⃣ The devil is powerless against God’s plan. He may try to deceive you, but God’s eternal purpose always prevails.

No matter the chaos around you, God is in control—and that truth changes everything. Are you ready to trust Him fully?

Ever feel like life is spinning out of control? Chaos, clutter, and confusion can cloud our perspective—but is that what God intended? In this episode of First Things First, we uncover how God brings clarity in the midst of disorder. He’s given us a pattern in His Word to help us see life through His lens, shifting our focus from the distractions of the world to the beauty of His design.God is not the author of confusion—He is the God of peace. Let’s talk about how to find clarity in the chaos.🔥 WANT TO GO DEEPER?

What if the loudest thing in your life could be God’s voice cutting through the noise?DOWNLOAD THIS WEEK’S DAILY DEVOTIONS ⤵️https://www.granttoddministries.com/projects-1/week-11In Revelation 10, we encounter a mighty angel with a scroll, and a call to silence the distractions around us. This chapter reveals three keys to hearing God clearly in the midst of life’s chaos: stand in awe of His creation, worship Him alone, and guard against what pulls your focus away.God’s creation is full of wonders—things meant to point us to His glory. But when we make those things the center of our worship, we lose sight of the One who made them. The world is noisy, but God’s voice is steady and clear, like a clock ticking, waiting for us to tune out the distractions. When we do, His presence and purpose begin to shape everything.Are you ready to quiet the noise and truly hear Him?

What if I told you the greatest deceiver in history was once created for glory?

Revelation 9 reveals Satan as a fallen star—once honored, now cast down. He leads a failed rebellion, using denial, discouragement, and distraction to turn people from God. But his power is limited, his schemes are exposed, and his end is certain.

Satan’s goal is to keep you captive—but through Christ, you are more than a conqueror. His lies cannot stand against God’s truth, and his defeat is already written.

The question is, will you live in fear of a fallen enemy, or will you stand in the victory that is already yours?
