In Numbers 13 and 14, we read how the nation of Israel was about to go into the Promised Land, but gave into fear and rejected God's command when they heard the report of the spies sent into the land. Then, once God told them to turn back, and that their generation would die in the wilderness, they regretted their decision, and tried to take the land without God's approval--and here, they failed miserably.

But in reading this history, we see our own fears and our own selfishness. In today's message, Pastor Phil reviews this event in Israel's history, and reminds us that sin has consequences--ultimately the consequence of death. But for those whose faith is in Jesus, there is the promise of eternal life.

In today's message, Larry High studies Galatians 3:10-14, and how Christ became a curse for us. When we come together for communion, we remind ourselves of Jesus' work on the cross, because it can be too easy to forget the sin and wrath from which we have been saved, and the price which was paid for our salvation.

After the nation of Israel left from Egypt, they were guided by God in the wilderness with a cloud. In Numbers 9, we read that when the cloud moved, Israel followed. And wherever the cloud stopped, Israel waited--for however long the cloud would stay in place.

In today's message, Pastor John teaches what it looks like to discern God's will, and to obey it.

In today's message, Pastor Phil shows us why we should pray for our family, and the different ways that we can do so.

In almost all of his letters to the churches of his time, Paul told the churches to whom he was writing the things that he prayed for them. These prayers are a model for us as we seek to pray for our church today.

In Matthew 6, Jesus taught his disciples how to fast--and how not to fast! As we seek to fast together as a church, we can study this passage--and other models in scripture--so that we can fast as the Bible teaches.

When Peter was thrown to prison by King Herod, the church prayed earnestly for him, and God answered their prayer with Peter's miraculous rescue. Studying this passage in the book of Acts, Pastor Phil teaches that we should pray together, pray earnestly, pray often and pray expectantly.

In today's sermon, Larry High preaches on Psalm 102 and encourages us that affliction is for a time, but God's reign is forever, and He never changes.

Isaiah prophesied that Jesus would be called the Prince of Peace. In today's message, Pastor Phil teaches how we can have peace with God, and how we can also have the peace of God.

When God foretold of the coming Messiah through the prophecy of Isaiah, one of the names given to Jesus was Mighty God. We know that Jesus came to this world as a man, but we also know that He was and is God. And so, we know that there is nothing that Jesus can not accomplish. And most importantly, we know that Jesus has the power to save us from our sins.
