The Bible warns us to examine ourselves to see if we are in the faith. Have you examined yourself lately? Do you have any doubts of whether you have truly been born again of God's Spirit, saved from the wrath of God to come? Today is an opportunity to see if you are in the faith! Pastor Jay Dennis from City Central Church in Lakeland stopped by this morning and presented the Gospel for first time hearers, as well as for those who have heard before and have walked away from the faith!

Gentleness is often misunderstood. When we think of a man being gentle, we might picture some guy being weak or timid, but that’s not what gentleness truly means. In fact, gentleness is a strength of character—a willingness to humble ourselves and put others first, even when we have the power to act differently. Many great men throughout history have displayed gentleness in remarkable ways, showing us that true greatness is not about asserting power but about choosing humility and self-control. The Bible has a lot to say about gentleness!

“He has a pastor’s heart.” For most of us, this describes a gentle man who walks alongside those who are downtrodden and struggling. The man with a pastor’s heart cares for wandering sheep, never yells, is quick to forgive, and looks past our sins. He’s a man who is easy to be around, and he demonstrates love no matter what the situation is or who he’s talking to. Pastor Rob Golding poses an interesting question: Can Satan have a “pastor’s heart?"

Here’s a riddle for you: My dog barks at it playfully. My cat stares at it dumbly. The cardinals in my yard attack it aggressively. What is “it?" Here’s another clue... Research has shown that — as far as we know currently — the magpie is the only bird that actually understands what “it” is. How does this impact your walk with Jesus?

Many moral or ethical issues in Christianity today stand or fall upon our doctrine of God and Christ. Curious? Dr. Wyatt Graham, Executive Director of The Davenant Institute, says nowhere is that truer than in sexual ethics!

I know I should read my Bible and pray every day, but I'm just not consistent. For many Christians, "daily devotions" and "spiritual disciplines" strike guilt and shame in our hearts. But what if we got it all wrong? What if our Christian experience hinges not on perfect spiritual disciplines, but on the perfect love of a Father who delights in us? Bible teacher Asheritah Ciuciu stopped by and helped us lift our gaze from the never-ending to-do list and fix our eyes on the One who spun the stars and knows us by name!
