We hear a lot about diversity and inclusiveness in our world today. In this study in Matthew, given originally on Mother's Day, Pastor Mat shows how Jesus acted against ethnic prejudice to come to the aid of a brokenhearted mother with a child in crisis. She may not have been able to come into Jerusalem for help, but Jesus was willing to cross borders to go to her. It's a lesson for all believers in Christ.

There was a lot of confusion among the believers in Thessalonica regarding the end times. Paul addresses these issues reminding them that two distinct signs would confirm that the last days had come. What are these signs? And with all the prophecies about the deception that would blanket the world, how do we guard ourselves, and what is the danger of not loving the Truth?

Do you want your heart transformed? In Matthew 17, we read about Jesus being changed before three of His disciples, revealing His divine glory. How did it affect them to see this metamorphosis? And how does it affect us when we catch a glimpse of Jesus in His glory in our hearts? Pastor Jin enlightens us on what happens when we really see Jesus.

Is God working in your life? Pastor Jin tells us that the true testament of a believer in Christ is that God is working in your life. One way that we see growth is in our making more and more right choices, in our staying on the right course. Paul's words to the Ephesians tell us that we have the ability to choose NOT to sin. As difficult as it can be at times, in Christ we have the power to choose the right course. Be encouraged.

This study takes a look at the Olivet Discourse from Luke's point of view. The interpretation of the verses in Luke 21 centers on timing: when is Jesus referring to events that were fulfilled in AD 70 and when does He refer to His future coming? Pastor Mat will incorporate these scripture verses from Luke, along with Daniel chapters 2, 3 and 9 to open up Jesus' two-fold, near and far, prophetic message.

It takes sacrifice to get anything worthwhile done for the Kingdom of God. We often find that situations get even more difficult for us when we determine to do God's will. In this study through Nehemiah 10, Pastor Mat points out that one key for dealing with this is to be separated FROM something, and then separated UNTO something else. Find out what these two things are.

How do we live for Jesus Christ in a world that is deteriorating around us? It can be challenging...even discouraging at times. However, Pastor Mat points out from the life of the prophet Ezekiel that we can make a difference if we see people and situations from God's perspective. There will be things we need to CUT OFF, and others we need to CUT OUT. Find out more in this encouraging study.

In this study in John 11, Pastor Jin looks at the account of Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead, and we see the Lord's unique essence of being fully God and fully man. We will look at Mary and Martha's response to their brother's death, and the questions they asked Jesus about it. We will also look at the questions they didn't ask, and consider in our own lives what the Lord might have done for us...but we never really asked.

This holiday message begins with a dramatic presentation by our Children's Ministry, about the effect of the Resurrection on the disciples of Jesus. Then Pastor Mat asks the question: Does it matter if we believe that Jesus actually rose from the dead? We'll look at the consequences of not believing in the Resurrection and why we can trust this life-changing event.

In this Easter Sunday message from Luke 24, we hear about two disciples walking along the road to Emmaus who had an encounter with Jesus, but who were slow to believe what the Scriptures had foretold about Him. We don't have to be slow to believe, however; we can trust the Bible. We can trust in the Resurrection of Jesus. It is the most attested to fact of history, as we'll learn in this holiday study.
