This Prophecy Update was given just days after the unprecedented attack upon Israel by the terrorist group Hamas on Oct 7, 2023. Pastor Mat takes a balanced look at End Times events from God's perspective as Captain of the Host of Heaven and Sovereign Ruler of the Universe.

Relationships seem to generate questions. They did in the Apostle Paul's day and they do in our day. Perhaps you have questions about relationships. From Pau's letter to the Corinthians, Pastor Mat takes a very frank and honest look at questions dealing with issues concerning singleness, premarital behavior, marriage, divorce, remarriage, and more.

Within the Apostle Paul's words of thanksgiving for the Philippi church that was so dear to him, Pastor Mat finds inspiration for a message on what we need to pray for ourselves and others. We also find great encouragement in understanding that whatever God starts, He finishes -- including the work He has begun in you!

Do you feel powerless in your spiritual life? When we do, Pastor Mat points out that the problem could be we are not leaning wholly on Jesus. Because our source of power isn't what we know about Jesus, or past victories that we've had in Christ. Our source for power is trusting Him in the moment -- every moment.

Through this study in Corinthians 6, Pastor Mat reminds us that if we belong to Jesus, we need to act like children of God. If we're going to walk with Jesus, we need to humble ourselves. This imperative to be different than the world is further explained through Paul's instructions regarding lawsuits and immoral living.

What is your confidence in today? In your accomplishments...in your religious training or knowledge...in your popularity...in your possessions? Or is your confidence in the Lord? What does that even mean? Pastor Mat looks at that in this study in Philippians, and also the paradox of surrendering in order to be free and losing in order to win.

What are you hungry for in life? Whose approval do you seek: the world's or the Lord's? From passages in Matthew, Luke and Revelation, Markus shows us what can happen if we lay our lives at Christ's feet and allow Him to change us from the inside out, giving us a growing appetite for Jesus.

As believers in Christ, we should be trying to sin less and less. What happens when Christians choose not to deal with sin in their lives? How does it affect not only them, but the church as a whole? Pastor Mat tackles this question and also looks at how the Jewish Passover celebration relates to the believer in Jesus Christ with respect to sin.

What will happen in our lives if we put God before us in everything? Pastor Mat looks at the path of life extolled by David in this encouraging Psalm.

Is repentance a dying word? Unfortunately, in most churches today it is. Pastor Mat looks at the need for and the challenge of correction within the church. And learn what it means to "keep short sin accounts." (Last few minutes of this message was lost due to audio difficulties.)
