We are all told to be tolerant. What does that mean, and why are people branded (intolerantly) for disagreeing with the common narrative. Today we want to talk about tolerance in the church, what it means, and how we should live out our faith in society.

Romans 12:18-21

Romans 1:32

As we see the police state in Canada arrest more pastors, we are now starting to see some good news out of California. There have been several CA churches that have been fighting restrictions, and the courts are now starting to rule on these cases. What could the good news be? Have a listen to hear more.

Psalm 37:4

Today we will talk about the emerging underground church in the West as the laws in our nation becoming more hostile to the true teachings found in the Bible. As the laws shift against the Scriptures, the true Christians will stand up and preach. We will be forced underground.

Revelation 2:8-11

We are in a world where people don't do the hard work of learning from themselves, but that is exactly what we are called by the scriptures to do. We need to watch our influences and learn what it really means to follow the Word.

Matthew 7:1

Formerly free nations are now turning into police states. Our northern neighbors have lost basic freedoms and a church is under direct attack. Ultimately, this plan is against the Gospel, and today we will look at what is happening at Gracelife Church and how it relates to what happened in Egypt under Joseph's administration.

Genesis 47:13-19

Today we want to look at Judges and a parallel to faith in America today. Everyone does what is right in their own eyes, but that is contrary to how we are called to walk in faith. This reading looks at how the time of the judges was much like our country now, and that means judgment may be right around the corner.

Judges 17:6

Judges 17:1-13
