Today, Pastor Farag begins his series in 1 Corinthians 3 by stating that we must be honest and receptive to rebuke if we have become comfortable living in our carnality. He teaches that in order to grow in our walk as a Christian, we must turn away from that which keeps us bound to the flesh and spiritually immature.

Today, though Pastor Farag warns how worldly, carnal desires keep us from the Spirit of God, we are encouraged that we are a chosen generation--a chosen people who have been called out of darkness into the light. Pastor Farag leads us to to ask ourselves if we are drinking from the cup of the world or from the cup of God.

In today's message, Pastor Farag teaches that a man in the natural world can impede God in the spiritual world. A person can quench the spirit in a number of different ways, but today Pastor Farag explains how man's carnality can keep one from knowing the mind of the Lord. This keeps one from living a WHOLE, satisfied life in God.

The pulse of society can sometimes be a hard thing to fully comprehend. Today Pastor JD shares some insights that are startling. Is social media really a good way to find out what people are interested in? It most certainly is. When Pastor Saed was released...twelve thousand people tweeted about it. At the same time over fifty thousand people were tweeting about a football game...literally, a game.

It doesn't matter who you are...going to the gas station to fill up when the cost of fuel is a dollar seventy five a gallon really helps the household budget. But, is there a darker more sinister plan behind these falling oil prices? Will there be any fall out because of these extremely low prices? Pastor JD shares with us that this COULD have catastrophic consequences.

Today, Pastor Farag cautions Christians about how we are capable of quenching God's Holy Spirit. Sometimes we do this by having bitter and impatient hearts. We are shown that in order to be drawn back to the Spirit of God, we must form an appetite for His Spirit through prayer, devotion, and time spent with Him.

In today's message, we are encouraged to turn away from the spirit of the world in order to allow the Spirit of God to breath life into us. Pastor Farag explains that the proportion of receiving the Spirit of God is inversely related to having the spirit of the world. In a world that is always at war for our attention, we must turn to Him.

Pastor JD teaches us today that those who have been walking with the Lord for awhile but have not matured are like grown men still talking baby talk. Most regretfully, those that are not developing are missing out on the rich life that only a relationship with the Heavenly Father brings and are at risk of stumbling when hardship comes.

Pastor JD teaches us today that there are two types of Christians. The first group, carnal Christians, does not understand the deeper things of God and are immature. The second group of Christians are mature, can understand secret heavenly wisdom, and put that wisdom into practice.

The second largest economy on the face of the earth is China. Recently China had to create a shut down mechanism for their trade markets in order to stop the bottom from free falling into oblivion. Pastor JD shares poignant feedback about this serious issue that seems to be being ignored by the media.
