Around 10% of Americans will be victims of the crime of identity theft this year. While thieves use this crime for financial gain, the victim is left to convince mortgage companies, credit card corporations, and other institutions that they are really who they say they are. Identity theft is an ancient crime first employed against the occupants of Eden. In fact, the devil has been so successful with this that he even attempted it on the Son of God. It should then be no surprise that he will seek to make us his next victims. This study will focus on what the devil sought to do to Jesus and how He successfully combated the tempter. Using this example, we will explore how we, too, can be successful against his efforts and never forfeit our status as sons of God.

Joining and working with a church is an important part of one’s relationship with God and fellow members of His family. This provides the opportunity to collectively offer worship and service to the Lord. In this community relationship, it is important to make sure that a church functions in a God-approved way. In this, a church demonstrates holiness. This sermon will explore what God expects and desires from a church seeking to please Him. This includes not only fidelity to purpose and belief, but also the behavior of members comprising a church.

A report on Greg and Pam Chandler's recent trip to visit evangelist Larry Vinson in Malawi, Africa.

In 1988, singer Bobby McFerrin’s song, Don’t Worry, Be Happy, raced to the top of the charts. The song’s basic premise is to let nothing get you down; in other words, focus on the positive. While this idea might sound good, reality makes us realize that there are challenging times of life that bring unhappiness. In these times, how do we deal with the problem of worry? How do we determine the difference between worry and concern? How do we follow God’s command “to be anxious in nothing?” In this study, we will examine the Lord’s warnings against worry and how to distinguish it from godly concern.

Luke records many conversion accounts within the Book of Acts that have become well-known, including such individuals as the Ethiopian Eunuch, Saul, and Cornelius. However, there is another conversion account that rarely receives the same amount of attention yet shows a tremendous illustration of making the right choice when presented with truth and falsity. This study will not only focus on his decision to obey the truth, but it will also provide a discussion on how people of any age must make this decision.
