The author of Hebrews makes the point that Jesus is a better priest because he is a Permanent Priest who promises to be our mediator, our advocate, our facilitator, and our intercessor forever! Listen to the last message in the series.

Dr. Lynn is the Director for Missions in the Baptist State Convention of Michigan. After searching, praying, and contemplating over his message for The Gathering the idea of partnership came to him – how the Apostle Paul learned to be content in every station and circumstance of life. The Lord Jesus is our partner in times of joy and in times of trials.

In this message we examine the words of David in Psalm 16 when he says, “in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.” We are asking the Lord Jesus to help us find the fullness of joy in Him alone!

Many of us read this verse as a promise, and we are thankful for it! It is a promise of the utmost practicality. It is realistic. It is sensible. It is even expedient. But is it true? Do all things work together for good…?

St. Paul says in 1 Corinthians 4:20, “The kingdom of God is not a matter of talk but of power.” In his sermon today, Pastor says, “I don’t want to sit back and talk about the power of God, or discuss the power of God, or debate the power of God. I want to experience the power of God personally and effectively and convincingly!” Please join us as we discover the wonderful promise of God for power in our daily lives.

Everyone needs forgiveness, and Jesus is faithful to forgive our sins and cleanse us from the inside out. This first message in a short series on the Promises of God focuses on forgiveness.

Christ’s love controls us, says the Apostle Paul. Yet we battle daily the power and influence of sin in the world. Pastor Phil helps us understand we can fight against sin and our own sinful nature.

The devil – Satan – is the Accuser. Even though he has been thrown down, even though his power and the scope of his ability is limited, he works hard to accuse the brothers and sisters in Christ. He works hard to defeat us and discourage us. Listen to this message and learn about our best defense against the Accuser!

Satan provoked David to go against God in 1 Chronicles 21. He instigated and motivated and prompted David to take the census which God did not authorize. Pastor Garth helps us understand how Satan, the ruler or prince of the power of the air, seeks to pull us away from God. Then he shares with us the defense that God has provided!

Last week we started a new study called “Satan’s Toolbox: The Schemes and Strategies of the Enemy,” and we talked about the devil as The Deceiver. The deceiver’s target is your mind, his weapon is lies, and his purpose is to keep us ignorant of the Word of God. In this message Pastor Garth highlights the work of the Enemy as the Destroyer.
