As we look at mankind throughout the Bible we see man drifting away from the Lord, and the Lord in his great love and mercy always calling man to repent of their sins and turn to back to Him. True repentance begins with spiritual conviction…I realize I have sinned and it is not right. Maybe you feel like you have drifted away from the Lord and don’t know what to do. Today Pastor Tom will be teaching on turning from our sin and turning towards God and how that frees us from the shackles of sin to live a new life in Christ.

Many of us are moved and inspired by historical accounts of God's Spirit radically moving and changing hundreds of lives. On the other hand, the thought of sharing the Gospel with an individual, let alone a city, can leave us rather uncomfortable. In today's message, Pastor Tom teaches us how our sharing the Gospel with others goes hand in hand with God's preparation. In our study, we learn how God both prepares the hearts of men and plants the words within those who share His Gospel.

Many people find it rather easy to think of God as a maniacal being that takes pleasure in the death of those who do wrong. However, there are passages in the Bible that specifically say, God doesn't take pleasure in the death of the wicked! In today's message, Pastor Tom a moment to reflect on the merciful and long suffering nature of God in our series, Trials of Prophets. In our study, we learn that rather than allowing the wicked to perish, our loving God raises up voices to seek out the lost.

As many of us have experienced, our lives can be overwhelmingly full of challenges and trials of many sizes. But what if some of those challenges were of a divine nature in order for us to turn our attention? In today's message, Pastor Tom teaches us how The Lord often uses distress and tribulation in our lives to turn our attention towards Him. In our study, we learn that when all our earthly options seem to be of no avail, our Father in Heaven will never let us down.

Many of us find it hard to believe that God is constantly pursuing us even when we're flat out rejecting Him. Whether we're in a dry season or we've decided to serve our flesh, our God is steadfast in His pursuit of His own. In today's message, Pastor Tom asks us to recall the times that we've recognized the pursuit of The Lord in our lives. In our study, we gain a better understanding of just what it looks like when The Lord pursues us, no matter what decisions we might be making in our lives.

In Paul's letter to the Romans we read that we're to “be transformed by the renewing of our mind.” Just as with any form of sanctification in our lives, living a life that conforms to God's Kingdom takes time and practice. But what are some of the practical ways in which we can do this? In today's message, Pastor Tom teaches us the role of The Spirit that seeks to sanctify us on a daily basis. In our study, we learn that through worship, prayer, and taking in The Word, we're sure to aid The Spirit in sanctifying our lives.

Perhaps one of the most common questions we hear from non believers is “why did God create us with the ability to sin?” As many of us have probably answered, God created man with choice, because love demands choice. In today's message, Paula reflects on the merciful and gracious nature of God who gives us free will. In our study, we learn that rather than being created as mindless drones, our God gave us the ultimate free will to choose who we serve. Will we choose to serve ourselves? Or God?

The abundance of God's grace is so plentiful that if we're careful enough we can recognize it in almost every page of Scripture. Perhaps one of the most potent displays of God's grace is found within the history of God's chosen people, Israel. In today's message, Pastor Tom takes a moment to reflect on God's grace as we continue our series on the trials of the prophets. In our study, we recognize God's grace towards Israel even after their constant rejection of God and idolatry. Our God, is indeed full of mercy and grace!
