  • The Invitation - The Prodigal Part 5 by Andrea Kramer on Sunday, Sept. 21, 2025
    Celebrating grace isn't just for new believers—it's discipleship. In this vulnerable and powerful finale to "The Prodigal" series, Pastor Andrea shares her honest confession about relating to the older brother and reminds us that faithful service can sometimes lead to a cold heart toward those who need grace most. From Netflix binges to road rage confessions, this teaching will help you serve not from a place of earning favor—but from celebrating grace. Whether you've been in church for 5 days or 50 years—this message is packed with conviction, hope, and an urgent invitation to join the party. God's not just giving you grace for your salvation. He's giving you grace to celebrate His work in others too.
    Scripture Reference: Luke 15:1-2, 31-32
    Big Idea: The father went after both sons—and He's actively pursuing a deeper relationship with you too.
    Key Quote: "There is no better evangelist than a brand new baby Christian. All they know is 'I once was addicted and now I'm not.'"
    ⸻
    Topics in this Message:
    How faithful service can lead to spiritual coldness
    The danger of confusing what we do with what we deserve
    Why Jesus left the story unfinished (He's asking us the same question)
    The heart, promise, and purpose of the Father's invitation
    How to celebrate revival instead of standing outside criticizing
    Never forgetting where the Lord brought you from
    Choosing compassion over tradition and rules

  • Major World Religions - Part 2 by Dr. Joe L. Mott on Sept. 22, 2025
    References:
    (1) Right now Christianity is the largest major religion in the world in terms of population. Studies in the 21st century suggest that, in terms of percentage and worldwide impact, Islam is the fastest growing major religion in the world. A comprehensive religious FORECAST by the Pew Research Center PREDICTS that the global Muslim population will grow at a faster rate than the Christian population.
    (2) Key Factors In Islam’s Growth include:
    Younger demographics: The Muslim population is, on average, younger than other religious groups.
    Higher fertility rates: Muslims have average fertility rate compared to other religious groups, contributing to populations growth.
    Conversion is a factor in demographic shifts. For instance, 77% of new converts to Islam in the United States are from Christianity, and 19% are from non-religious commitments.
    (3) Another important DETERMINANT of growth is the current AGE DISTRIBUTION of each religious group. In 2010, more than a quarter of the worlds’s total population (27%) was under the age of 15. But an even higher percentage of Muslims (34%) and Hindus (30%) were younger than 15, while the share of Christians under 15 matched the global average (27%).
    (4) If current demographic trends continue, Islam will nearly catch up to Christianity by the middle of the 21st century. Between 2010 and 2050, the world’s population is expected to rise to 9.3 billion, a 35% increase. Over that same period, Muslims are projected to increase by 73%. The number of Christians also is projected to rise, but more slowly, at about the same rated (35%) as the global population overall.
    (5) However, this prediction is a bit confusing to me that according to other various scholars and sources and numerous articles, Pentecostalism — a Protestant Christian movement — is the fastest growing religion in the world and this growth is primarily due to religious CONVERSION.
    (6) Pentecostalism is a renewal movement within Protestant Christianity that emphasizes a direct, personal experience with God through a Spirit-filled baptism and the ongoing activity of the Holy Spirit. Key characteristics include the belief in spiritual gifts such as speaking in tongues (glossolalia), divine healing, and prophecy all seen as active manifestations of the Holy Spirit still operating today.
    (7) The question that poses itself is the following: Is Allah and the God of the Bible the same God?
    (8) In the pamphlet Muslim and Christian Beliefs by Bruce McDowell and Anees Zaka says on p. 27 that this belief that Allah and the God of the Bible are IDENTICAL is FOUNDATIONAL to Islam.
    (9) But the Christian teaching is that the God of the Bible is a TRINITARIAN God, and the Islam teaching is that Allah is absolute unity what they call tawhid and not a trinity. So these 2 Gods  cannot be identical.
    (10) Moreover, the human attributes such as fatherhood cannot be associated with Allah. But the Bible presents the God of the Bible as a Father. For instance, Psalm 103:13 says, “The Lord is like a father to His children, tender and compassionate to those who fear Him.”
    (11) The Qur’an fails to mention that Allah loves people nor do people have an obligation to love Allah or our neighbor as commanded in the Bible. In 1 John 4:7-21 there are 27 references to love in 14 verses. The Bible tells us that the God of the Bible loves us even though we are sinners in rebellion against Him.
    (12) Love implies a RELATIONSHIP. But Allah is UNKNOWABLE. Allah’s love is what Christians would call COMMON GRACE, in that Allah shows His mercy and care for His CREATION. But this love is not  a PERSONAL or SUSTAINING love. There is no REDEMPTIVE LOVE in Islam, unlike in Christianity: “But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us” (Rom. 5:8).

  • Be Strong, Strategize, Rest in the Lord by Servant Marcia Carty on Sept. 22, 2025
    In this teaching, Servant Marcia Carty shares a timely message for believers living in a world that is increasingly chaotic and challenging. She draws a parallel between our current times and the days of Noah, highlighting the violence, lack of love, and moral decline that Jesus foretold. Carty provides a three-part framework for how believers can not only endure but thrive in these times.
    The three main points covered are:
    -- Be Strong in the Lord: Carty emphasizes that being strong is an act of faith, requiring us to trust that God is with us and will not fail or forsake us. Citing Moses' charge to Joshua, she explains that this strength comes from knowing God's greatness and His power to make the impossible possible. She encourages listeners to stand firm and to remember God’s promises for their lives, their careers, and their ministries.
    -- Rest in the Lord: Resting in the Lord is a core component of this message. Carty explains that this rest comes from entering into God's presence and trusting in His promises, which is the antidote to fear and unbelief. She warns against hardening our hearts, as the Israelites did, which led to their being unable to enter into God's rest.
    -- Strategize: The final, and equally important, point is to strategize. Carty uses the examples of King David's counsel to Solomon and the disciples helping Paul escape to illustrate that being strong and trusting in God doesn't mean we should be passive. She encourages believers to pray for divine strategy, to put on the full armor of God as described in Ephesians, and to use the minds God has given them to navigate conflicts and challenges.
