Christians have been persecuted and killed since the 1st Century. Why? “Love your enemies, pray for those who persecute you.” Doesn’t seem too threatening! Yet, at the core, God’s principals are so counter-cultural they are indeed revolutionary! His Word - The Bible, has shaped and changed my perspective, outlook and ultimately my life. We go through a few examples at The Mountaineer GNCC in Beckley, WV. 

Jesus warned that in the last days, there would be a falling away. We are certainnly seeing that in modern times. But what makes a person who professes Jesus is Lord to NOT maintain that core belief? That is the question we walked through atop beautiful Snowshoe Mountain in June, 2021. 

Sometimes it is the backstory that makes the mainstory so incredible! Samuel was the greatest judge and prophet to ever guide ancient Israel. But he should not have been! His backstory should have ruined him. Yet God...
God had a plan and a purpose! Samuel's mother obediently delivered him into that purpose and the rest is history. 
This service was the very first GNCC Church Baby Dedication. 

John the Baptizer came on the scene baptising people for "repentance and forgiveness of sins." Then Jesus came along and wanted John to baptize him. Yet, Jesus had never sinned! So why did he need to be baptized? 
Afterward, he was led into thee wilderness to be tempted by Satan. 
Is there a correlation? 
We discuss these very questions in this chapel service; recorded live at the John Penton GNCC. A baptism follows! 

Jesus talked about the  End Times, Abomination of Desolation, putting oil in the lamp...unusual subjects! Yet, there is meaning and we are seeing "signs of the times" today. We should understand what He was talking about - and so this episode digs into Matthew 24 and Luke 21. Chuck shares his personal thoughts on the subjects and closes out with undisputable, irrefutable Truth. 

During this season, we’ve been studying some prophecies in the Old Testament and seeing how they came true. But what about future things yet to happen? When will the end actually come? Jesus’ disciples asked that very question. Although Matthew 24 can be confusing (some signs were related to AD70), there is ONE sign Jesus pointed out that has never happened but is happening now! This was an interesting discussion from the Tiger Run GNCC 2021.

"And he said to me, 'Son of man, can these bones live?' And I answered, "O LORD God, you know.'" ~Ezekiel 37:3
We looked at this passage at the Camp Coker Bullet GNCC. It's a fascinating passage! Even more so when you understand the context, what it means and how it came true! There is only one true God and he proves it time and again...

Chapel service from Washington, GA - The General GNCC. What do King Solomon, Hezekiah, Josiah, Abraham Lincoln, Ronald Reagan and the Civil War have in common? Tune in and find out! God has been faithful through the ages and His purposes prevail! 

America is not Israel. However, Malachi explains, "I the LORD do not change." We can see how God worked in the past and have a greater understanding for what He is doing now. In Old Testament times, God gave warnings and signs before sending judgement. Likewise, He's given indications in modern times as well. America isn't paying attention, but as Christians, we need to know the signs of the times. And take heart! God's purposes always prevail! 

2021 GNCC Chapel Round 1 
Times are changing but God isn't! Malachi states, "I the LORD do not change." What God did in history gives us a clue for what he is doing now. This is Part 1 of a two part series: "The demise of Israel/The demise of America." 
The Old Testament is HUGELY relevant to modern times. God loves us enough to plainly state the truth! Tune in and take heart.
