In today’s message, Pastor Gary speaks about King David, and how he was referred to as “a man after God’s own heart.” Pastor Gary explains how this refers to King David always trying to do as God commanded, without fearing the repercussions. We are called to do the same thing. We are instructed to follow the Word and Will of God, no matter what others may think of us. Pastor Gary speaks about how King David was described as “dance for the Lord with all his might.” And, how we must always do the same.

Many pastors today are, sadly, beginning to change the way they preach and the message they’re speaking. People don’t want to hear preaching that challenges their thinking or way of life. They want to hear words that encourage their sin. But, as Pastor Gary teaches today, God’s message can’t be changed! Including His words on sin, judgment, hell, and repentance. He told Jonah to tell the Ninevites His exact words. He tells you the same thing. Don’t tell people what they want to hear. Tell them what they need to hear!

Jonah’s message to Nineveh was that judgement was coming in 40 days. God gave Him that message to proclaim in hopes that perhaps the people would repent. And as Pastor Gary teaches today, God has that message for all of humanity now as well. Throughout His word, God warns of the coming judgement for sin. He tells you this in order that all would turn to Him, believe, and come to repentance. He doesn’t want you to perish! You still have the opportunity to receive Him before judgement comes!

It can feel a little overwhelming to think about Satan and his armies fighting in this world. Yes, he wants as many souls as he can lead away from God. But, today, Pastor Gary will encourage you to remember that God has His armies fighting too. And, as a believer in Him, you are part of His army. When you spread the truth of God to others, you share the way to salvation, and can save another person from Satan! When you speak the word of God our enemies are scattered!

There are armies assembling today. There are wars raging across the world. There are battles even in homes and churches. Satan and his armies are taking up the offensive and waging war in this world. Today, Pastor Gary will explain how your physical and spiritual battles come from Satan himself. But, you need not despair. You aren’t fighting alone! Jesus is in your corner and wants to fight for you. He’s defeated Satan and will one day get rid of him entirely. Until then, give your life to Christ and trust him in these fights!

Like an olive must be crushed to produce oil, Jesus had to be crushed for the healing balm for all who would believe. Jesus was wounded, broken, crushed for you. For your healing and restoration. Today, Pastor Gary will describe the way Jesus was your substitute at Calvary in order that you would be forgiven and made right with God. God’s grace is available to you right now! And you need healing! Believe in Christ and trust in what He did on the cross and you’ll be healed and redeemed!

As Pastor Gary continues his teaching series, he'll be explaining how America began to decline due to spiritual sleepiness and apathy. In the same way, the nation of Israel was blessed and victorious when they obeyed God, so too was America was blessed when they held onto Biblical principles. America is following in the same footsteps as Israel in the Old Testament, growing comfortable and turning to idols. It's unfortunately not until judgment, that people wake up and turn back to the Lord.

America has truly been blessed by God, and the sole purpose for this, is because the Founding Fathers built this nation on many Biblical principals. A nation can be blessed by obeying God's Word, and so can individuals. Today, Pastor Gary will be explaining how when you obey the commands of God, and stay within His boundaries, you will be blessed. God knows exactly what will truly bring you satisfaction and fulfillment. His commands are meant to help you live a fruitful and victorious Christian life.

As Pastor Gary continues his teaching through the book of Genesis, he'll be challenging you to spend more intimate time at the feet of Jesus. God is the same today, yesterday, and forever. If you feel as though your relationship with the Lord is not the same as it used to be, it's because you moved away, not Him. You can repent and return back to the Lord at this very moment. Jesus desires you to confess your sins and repent, not run away in condemnation and guilt. The Holy Spirit draws you to Himself, not push you away.

Words are powerful, and they can either be used to glorify God, or they can be used as a tool for the enemy. Today, Pastor Gary will be challenging you to only speak words that are edifying and that build others up, not tear them down. This is especially true when it comes to how you speak to your children. If you're a parent, you have the ability to speak life into your children or speak death. The Bible says that you should let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to use of edifying.
