2 Peter 2:2-22 | Pastor Rick

In this Sunday Night in the Café message (2 Peter 2:11–22), Pastor Rick warns that false teachers often arise inside the church looking convincing but proving empty. Promising “freedom” while enslaved to corruption themselves. Using Peter’s vivid images (wells without water, clouds without rain), he calls us to discernment: be people who measure every claim by Scripture, test the spirits, and watch for wolves in sheep’s clothing. Stay close to Jesus and His Word, rely on the Holy Spirit for wisdom, refuse manipulative hype, and help new believers find solid ground in the truth.

Acts 3 | Pastor Greg

In this message from Acts 3, we follow Peter and John to the temple at the hour of prayer and witness the healing of a man lame from birth at the Beautiful Gate—done in the authority of Jesus, not human power or hype. Pastor unpacks the difference between the Spirit’s sovereign manifestations “as He wills” and our ongoing call to “pursue love” (1 Cor. 12–14), and re-centers the church on its four pillars from Acts 2:42: the apostles’ teaching, fellowship, the breaking of bread, and prayer. The takeaway is humble and practical: refuse the spotlight, point to Christ, and stay open to how God may use you—one person at a time.

Genesis 11| Pastor Greg

This message begins in Genesis 11, where humanity—speaking one language—settles to build a city and a tower “to make a name” and avoid scattering; defying God’s command to fill the earth. God comes down, confuses their language, and scatters them; this is both judgment and mercy, slowing united rebellion and still accomplishing His plan. Babel/Babylon is shown as a biblical picture of man-centered religion and power, with a brief caution that modern tech and shared language can serve either pride or good. The chapter’s genealogy then narrows from Shem to Abram, setting up Genesis 12: God calls Abram out and promises to bless all families through him. The main point: God brings down human pride and establishes His own way to bless the world.

Genesis 12 | Pastor Greg

This teaching turns to Genesis 12. God’s call of Abram, His promise to bless all nations through him, and the reminder that being “chosen” means being brought near to know God and make Him known. We see Abram’s delayed obedience in Haran, his altars at Shechem and between Bethel (“house of God”) and Ai (“heap of ruins”)—a vivid picture of where believers live now, between what we’ve left and where we’re headed. A famine prompts a fearful detour to Egypt, where Abram’s deception about Sarai brings painful consequences, yet God preserves His promise and protects Sarai. The takeaway: in a tense cultural moment and in personal uncertainty, cling to God’s Word, resist fear, walk in grace toward the lost, and trust the God who keeps His promises.
