Light is where healing and restoration can be found. However, as Pastor Dan shares in today's message, you must be willing to give up the darkness. Darkness is where you try to hide your sins. In the darkness, we fulfill fleshly desires, live in our pride, and delight in all things evil. But the light of Christ offers freedom from your sin. The shackles of your temptation can be broken with the redeeming love found in Christ. What does it take to experience this freedom and love? Give up the darkness.

Many of us are more than capable of noticing whether or not someone is genuine in their remorse when facing the consequences of their actions. But can we recognize it when we're not being genuine in our own suffering from poor choices? In today's message, Pastor Dan reflects on the importance of true contrition when suffering the effects of sin in our lives. In his study, you'll learn the importance of grieving over the sin itself, as opposed to grieving over the results of our sin.

Have you ever felt as though you could keep your sin hidden from The Lord, or at the very least, other believers? As much as many of us would care not to admit it, we all too often fall into the trap of thinking we can keep our sins hidden from The Lord. However, as Pastor Dan will teach you in his message today, this is one of the worst traps of oppression that we can fall into. In his study, you'll learn both the importance and power of bringing your sin before The Lord regularly so as to receive liberation.

Perhaps one of the greatest mistakes we can make as believers is to approach the Old Testament as if it's been outdated by the New. Unfortunately, some will go so far as to suggest that we should only read the New Testament. However, as Pastor Dan discusses in his message today, they actually both play a role in giving us a broader picture of The Gospel message. In his study, you'll learn that just as with the priests of the Old Covenant, we too are called to be messengers of the truth to the lost.

Many of us can scarce imagine a world where evil is completely unfettered and free to have its way all across the world. As evil as the days may look now, they don't even come close to the days in which the restrainer, The Holy Spirit, is removed along with the Church. In today's message, Pastor Dan reflects on the contrast between the desires of Israel, and the world today. In his study, you'll learn how Israel's desire for the removal of God ultimately led to their downfall and all manners of evil.

Imagine being in the peak condition of any given nation, or “golden age” so to speak. Life is great, the economy is thriving, and there isn't a single concern about what you'll eat the next day. Now imagine an odd individual constantly warning about judgment. In today's message, Pastor Dan reflects on the state of Israel leading up to its sudden destruction, as warned by The Lord. In his study, you'll gain a better understanding of the arrogance and pride of those who refused to heed the warnings of Hosea.

Many of us would be quick to agree that it only takes a few minutes of scrolling through social media to see the division in our society. What used to be topics we could cordially disagree with and move on have become incredible points of tension and strife. In today's message, Pastor Dan reflects on the amazing unity that Christ offers, where all who come to Him are one. In his study, you'll learn about the healing, unifying, love-inspiring unity that the Gospel brings, and how society desperately needs it.

Chances are you've heard it said that unless there's a choice, it isn't love. If we were to somehow have control over someone's emotions towards us, it'd be more like having a relationship with a robot! Thankfully for us, God absolutely respects our choice. In today's message, Pastor Dan reflects on the free-will nature that God designed us with and how He desires that we choose to love Him. In his study, you'll gain a better understanding of God wants nothing more than for us to love Him, seek His will, and follow His ways by choice.

Have you ever heard the term “minor prophets”? The term by no means insinuates that they're “lesser” of any of the other prophets, but that the books themselves are shorter in nature. While Hosea is considered one of these minor prophets, its message is huge. As Pastor Dan will teach you in his message today, that message is a message of God's amazing love. In his study, you'll gain a better understanding of the nature of God's love for His own, even when His own live in rebellion.

Do you feel guilt? There are some people who take on things that aren’t even their fault and end up being so riddled with guilt that they can’t even look at themselves. Today, Pastor Dan reminds us that, when we sin, we need to ask for forgiveness from whoever got caught in the mix…But beyond that, we need to ask for forgiveness from God, because at the end of the day, His thoughts and opinions matter more. Don’t be riddled with guilt, simply repent and ask God for the forgiveness He gives so freely.
