Today, Richard has a powerful prison ministry, but he and his wife come from criminal backgrounds. Between them they have 70 arrests. But Richard had a praying grandmother, which brought about the circumstances that led him to salvation. He shares the salvation stories of several other hardened criminals who found the Lord while in prison because of a praying relative.

God wants us to abide in Him as He abides in us. To abide is to remain, and we cannot bear fruit apart from Him. And fruit is the life of Jesus in us--doing the same works Christ did: healing, delivering, and leading people to salvation. 

Are you abiding in Christ? Are you bearing fruit?

Listen in for more.

Every believer has giftings, and we will stand before Christ to give account of how we used them. As we abide in the vine, we will bear fruit, and God, as the vinedresser will prune us as needed in order that we may bear more fruit. 

God expects us to use our gifting and to bear fruit. Are you using your gifting and bearing fruit?

God has given gifts to all of us. He wants us to use those gifts, as the parable of the talents illustrates. God was angry with the servant who buried his talent. 

What giftings has God given you? What are you doing with it? When you stand before the judgment seat of Christ what will the fire reveal about how you used your giftings?

The unbeliever (spiritually dead) will face the great white throne of God's judgment. The authentic believer will stand before the judgment (bema) seat of Christ. 

In ancient times, the bema seat was a raised platform where judges evaluated contestants of athletic games and distributed rewards. This is what Christ does for us when we stand before His judgment seat. It is not about determining our salvation, but examining how we've used our God-given gifts and rewarding us accordingly.

God got their attention and  told them how he planned to deal with them. We talk a good story, but do we have the faith to live the Scriptures God has given us? God has done for us exactly what He said he would do for the Israelites--He brought us a Savior.

Hebrews 11:1 AMP says, "Now faith is the assurance (title deed, confirmation) of things hoped for (divinely guaranteed)." And God is pleased when we enter His throne room to use our title deed.

Brother Easter teaches from 1 Cor. 2:1-5 on the demonstration of the Spirit and of power, and how vital it is to our lives as believers.

 God is ushering in a new season, but many of us are trying to enter it with an old identity. He examines Isaiah 43. The correct identity comes before the new thing.

God doesn't do anything without first telling His prophets what He will do. And the Word must be coupled with the move of the Spirit. You cannot have one without the other.

Pastor Gray and Pastor Jeff Pickerel of Heritage Church, St. Joseph, MO, preach on the full work that Jesus accomplished with His resurrection that we call salvation, but is so much more.

Those boys loved playing on that rock, until one day, the discovered a snake lying there. How did they react? 

How do we react when we see a snake in our lives? 

Listen in for more.

The Holy Spirit is always hovering over our lives as He hovered over the formless and empty earth in the beginning of time. God wants to bring form to our lives but we must first open ourselves to Him.

Resurrection means to be brought up from the dead, but another meaning is "stand on your feet again." When your memories outweigh your dreams, a resurrection needs to take place. 

Jesus is the one who will stand us up on our feet and put us on solid ground. Christ gave us zoe life—redemption, forgiveness of sins, healing, deliverance, and being raised to new life. We will never die. Our mortal body will, but our spirit will live eternally with God in heaven. 

But what of those who reject Christ? 

Listen in for more.

When God created man, He gave him dominion over the earth. We have that same dominion today. 

Pastor Grace admonishes us to take dominion over our flesh, our thoughts, and our senses (taste, touch, etc.). We do this through meditation of the Word. With that, God can give us the revelation knowledge He wants us to have, which allows us to function from revelation rather than through our sense knowledge.

Guest speaker Libby Owens, director of the Center,  gives an update on the work and ministry of the center in helping pregnant women and saving babies from abortion.

In this parable, the seed is the Word of God, and we are the ground. But not all heard the Word because hearing means what enters into the heart. Is the Word entering your heart and taking root? 

Pastor makes reference to last week's sermon by Pastor Mark Linder on choosing your hard—marriage is hard, divorce is hard, choose your hard—-and how that message entered deep into his heart. 

Pastor Gray exhorts us to read, hear, and keep the Word. Let it enter into our heart.

In this verse, God gives his people—which applies to Old Testament Israel and the New Testament church—a choice. They can humble themselves, pray, seek his face, and turn from their sins; then God will hear their prayer, forgive their sins, and heal their land. 

In American society today, women are pressured not to have children. How do we recognize deception when it comes in the name of the Lord? The description of a virtuous woman in Proverbs 31 will show us. That woman is not acceptable today, but the woman of Prov. 31 represents the bride of Christ. 

God told the prophet Habakkuk to write down the vision that he who read it could run with it. God's vision is within His Word. 

Are you reading it? 

Are you hearing it? 

Are you keeping it? 

When the Word is unveiled, we see the beauty of God. 

Baptism in the Greek means signify through immersion, washing, cleansing, and identification for burial; total lasting change. "For you were buried with Christ when you were baptized. And with him you were raised to new life because you trusted the mighty power of God" (Col. 2:12 NLT).

In baptism, the old man dies as one is fully immersed in the water; he rises up out of the water a new man. 

God is a prayer-hearing, prayer-answering God. He will pour out His Spirit on all flesh, and we will prophesy before the great and glorious day of the Lord shall come. But we need to be ready. 

That readiness begins by being in alignment with God. 

Where are you? Seeking your will or God's?

Revival in the church starts with revival in the family. 

Marriage between a man and a woman is a kingdom principle, and how it operates is laid out in Ephesians 5:22-33. The marriage models  how God intends for the relationship between Christ and His church to operate. 

Listen in to learn what God expects from the man, and what He expects from the woman.

When Jesus said "it is finished," he accomplished all that needed done to bring salvation and redemption to mankind. He gave us power over sin, power to heal, power to raise the dead, and power  over the devil to reign here on Earth. 

Those who accept Jesus as Savior have eternal life in heaven. That also means, those who reject him will find themselves in hell for eternity.

 Is he your Lord? Accept him today and see the salvation of the Lord.

A donkey represents peace and servanthood, and that's what Jesus brought with his triumphal entry into Jerusalem on a donkey. The people who praised him that day shouted for his crucifixion a week later.  

God the Father did not die for our sins. Neither did the Holy Spirit. But it was Jesus who came to Earth as a baby went to the cross a sinless man and paid the ultimate price for the sins of all mankind. 

What the first Adam failed at, the last Adam was victorious.

How do we behave when we are by ourselves? Is it different from when we are around others? God gives us instructions, and obedience to that is better than to sacrifice. As we work out to keep our body fit, we need to do the same way with our salvation.

Listen in for more.

The apostle Paul stated that he had been crucified with Christ and that Christ now lived within him. We can be saved--born again believers--with Christ within us, but are we walking in Sonship? To walk in Sonship is to deny oneself and be led by the Spirit. 

Are there areas of your life that need to be crucified?

In 2 Chronicles 20, King Jehoshaphat and Israel faced a mighty army from Aram. The Lord said, "Do not be afraid…for the battle is not yours, but God's." The next day, the Israelites stepped toward their enemy, singing the praise and worship for the Lord. And God routed their enemies. 

There is power in our praise and worship of the Lord!

Daniel was a man of determination, dedication, and devotion as a captive in a foreign country. So, one could wonder why God didn't deliver Daniel before he was thrown to the lions. 

Why? is the question we often ask when we find ourselves facing our own "lions den." Listen in and discover the answer.

The baptism of the Holy Spirit brings us the power to preach the gospel and be God's witnesses throughout the world. Listen in for more.

We are in the last hour before the coming judgment. 

Like the foundation and roof of a house, the church has a foundation and roof as well. But the foundation is broken and the roof is leaking because we have strayed away from the Word of God. The unholy trinity--Satan, the Antichrist, and the False Prophet--will do all it can to deceive God's people. 

Is your foundation cracked? Is your roof leaking? 

Or in this last hour are you standing strong in the Word of God?

We are living in the last days and daily the words of Revelation are manifest. 

Many false prophets will arise to attempt to deceive us. To counter that we must see the great I AM, get the Word down in us, and preach the gospel with confidence and boldness to the young people of today.

God desires us to bring His message to those who don't know him. For Elijah that meant going into an area where the people worshipped other gods. God had already begun to move on the heart of the widow facing starvation. 

Elijah told her to give him food first, and then for her and her son to eat. In doing so, the widow and her son lived, having given first to God, and then enjoyed the abundant provision of God thereafter.

God delivers his gospel message through the family unit, which is why Satin is so intent on destroying the family. God intends for us to influence the world, but are we seeking a culture of comfort instead of our purpose?

Listen to this powerful message to today's Church.

All believers have a purpose and work God destined for them. And whatever it is for you, that's your "church," where you preach the gospel of Christ to those around you. 

It doesn't mean you won't face difficulties, but Christ is with you, helping you fight the good fight of faith and run your race with joy.

We know there is an hour when the Lord will come. But we don't know what that hour will be. Therefore, watch. Be alert. Be ready. 

Have you stopped watching?

Do we do what we do in order to cover up our lack of a personal relationship with Jesus? The apostle Paul addressed this cover up. He stated that we are but a "sounding brass or clanging cymbal" if we don't have love (agape). 

Join Pastor as he examines what agape love really is.

You cannot have Christmas and leave out the Resurrection. Everything we love about the birth of Christ, from the shepherds to the magi, points to his death and resurrection.

 Listen in for more. 

Jesus doesn't want us lukewarm. And it isn't lukewarm Christians who withstand and overcome the enemy. 

Listen in and understand the kind of violence Jesus desires us to function in.

Revelation 1:3 tells us "blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy." What does it mean to be blessed? It means

• supremely happy, 
• fortunate, 
• flourishing, 
• truly well off, 
• God's favor where all needs are met, 
• deep spiritual contentment. 

Not what people would say about reading Revelation. 

So how does reading Revelation bless us? Listen in, hear, and be encouraged. 

Do we have the strength and the Spirit of the Lord to be able to overcome the devil? 

Jesus is the Christ, and Christ means the Anointed One. As Christians, we are anointed ones. That means we have power and authority in the name of the Lord. But we underestimate the power and authority God has given us. 

Listen in as Pastor Gray outlines the truths that make us overcomers.

The devil uses 3 methods to attack us: the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life. 

But our weapons are mighty in God to come against our spiritual enemies. And nothing shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Listen in for more.

God gives us gifts, and those gifts are subject to our choices--to use them or not. God will not take a way your choice. 

Demons manipulate, intimidate, and dominate. Their goal is to cause division in the church. 

But Christ has empowered us and given us marching orders and the authority to carry them out.

 Listen in for more.

The enemy works to take our focus off of Jesus and onto the world. But our warfare is not against flesh and blood. Mark 16:17-18 points out the power of the true authentic church, one of which is casting out demons in the name of Jesus. 

When Jesus forgave the man sick of the palsy of his sins, the scribes thought, He blasphemes. But Jesus knew what they were thinking and asked, "which is easier, to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven you,’ or to say, ‘Arise and walk’?" Then told the man to get up and go home. 

Sin and sickness are linked, just as forgiveness and healing are. 

If you have faith to be saved, then you have faith to healed.

The apostle Paul had an earnest expectation and hope in Christ. He was not ashamed of the gospel and spoke out boldly, magnifying the Lord in his life and in his death. 

God often takes us out of our comfort zones in the things He calls us to do. We must be like Paul, not ashamed but bold.

The apostle Paul explained several aspects of our walk with Christ that he put in his letter to the Colossians. If we are risen with Christ, we need to seek those things above and not here on Earth. We are to set our minds on Christ. 

Listen for more of how our position in Christ has empowered us.

When King David realized his sinful condition he pleaded with God to do a mighty work in him to give him a new heart. 

Is your heart right with God? We can plead for the Lord to clean and renew us just as King David did. 

God blessed King Uzziah, but the king grew proud and disobedient. As a result, God put leprosy on him and took away his joy. Today, chaos is everywhere, but there is a joy coming through our young people like never before. 

We will all stand before God, either the Judgment Seat of Christ for those who have accepted Christ, or the Great White Throne for those who rejected Him. God sends no one to hell. It is our choice.

The Antichrist system in place; Christians around the world are being martyred, including here in the US. Jesus makes us a new creation when we come to Him for salvation. 

Pastor Gray preaches from Rev. 12:11 that proclaims we shall overcome the enemy "by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony."

https://hosannainternationalministries.com

Second Timothy 3:1 warns that perilous times will come, and that there will be a great falling away of the church. But 2 Thessalonians 2:3 encourages us to let no man deceive you. We can stand strong in the peril to come. 

Examine your life and tear down the idols that are there that "the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work."

Pastor Gray looks at condemnation and our freedom in Christ. 

The devil is constantly condemning the house of God and bringing condemnation to people. However, Jesus set us free from the law of sin and death. 

But how do we stay clean and walk in daily relationship with God? Listen in and learn.

Take His yoke and learn of Him. 

We trust in the world of medicine despite all the grave side effects of those medicines, but faith in Christ will bring us the healing we seek. Pastor Gray addresses belief and faith, and the doubt of "I believe, but will He do it for me?"

Listen in and grow your faith.

"The world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever." Pastor Gray exhorts the church to step into their predestined purpose.

The Israelites had long been worshiping idols rather than the True God, and God brought trouble upon them.

The gospel of Christ is the dunamis power of God and resides in every believer. But the demonstration of that power is missing from our churches today. The more we depend on Jesus, the stronger our faith becomes. 

Let that power be evident!

God want us to grab ahold of those moments and not miss them.

Everyone starts at the same level: getting saved. God has a purpose for each of us that He wants us to fulfill. He will stretch us on one level to prepare us for the next. He is committed to helping us to fulfill our purpose. 

Level up, and let's operate in a realm we never have before.

God made His invisible characteristics clearly evident in all creation around us. But the sinful refused to honor God and their minds were darkened. But when God gets ahold of us, it all changes. 

What God can do is far superior to what any man can do.

He encourages us, no matter our age, to step into our special role in the kingdom of God and leave our footprint everywhere we go. 

But the Devil comes to steal the truth, kill our identity in Christ, and destroy our inheritance. Christ has redeemed us, and we each have a purpose, a work, to do for His kingdom.

There are 5 steps to walking in faith: hear the Word; believe the Word; act on the Word; persevere; and speak the Word. Our actions and our words speak to the depth of our faith. 

God wants us to believe for the impossible. 

Jesus, the perfect man, paid the price for our sins, and endured the cross for the joy set before him. That joy was the finished work of our salvation, our healing, our deliverance, and more.  

Do you have a personal relationship with Jesus?

The Gospel of the Kingdom brings us a new language to speak with God, a new life to live with God, and we don't have to be like everybody else. 

The Gospel of the Kingdom lives within us, and everywhere we go, the Kingdom goes with us. God wants us to make a difference in the world.

In this new Wednesday night Bible study series, we move from 1 Corinthians chapter 12 to chapter 13. In part one, Pastor covers verses 1–4. 

Listen in to discover why without God's love we are but a tinkling cymbal.

Jesus is the resurrection and the life, and that resurrection power lives within us. You cannot read the Bible without it bringing you to the Resurrection. He is our blessed hope.

He then delivers a message on how powerful God is and how special we are as His creation. We are a special creation of God with a great purpose and great intention. 

Listen in and be encouraged.

Matthew 24 is Jesus' warning to us and the signs of the end of the age. Be not deceived; read the Word; be about God's business. 

Listen in to learn more.

The Jews of Jesus' day believed a man could be raised within 3 days, but after 4, it was too late. Using the example of Jesus raising Lazarus, Pastor Gray shows us the 3 steps to make change. Believe, remove the stone in our lives, and go forward. 

God will restore you.

Before Jesus ascended, He breathed on the disciples, opened their understanding of the Scriptures, and told them to tarry in Jerusalem until they were endued with power from on high. As the waited in Jerusalem, they waited in one accord, and God moved. 

When you're in one accord, God does mighty and great things.

You can't talk about Jesus' resurrection without talking about His birth. In a plan God put in place before the foundation of the world, Jesus was born, baptized, tempted, performed miracles, died on the cross, then rose to life again. 

He is the sacrificial Lamb who redeems us and takes away our sin.

God gave the people of Noah's day 120 years to repent and turn to God, but they would not. Judgment came upon them the moment God shut the door of the ark. 

The world is facing that same judgment as Christ's return approaches. Repent and turn to Him. When He returns with ten thousands of His saints, He will close the door to repentance.

In Matt. 7:24-27, Jesus admonishes us to hear and do what He has said. He likens those who do as wise men, and those who don't as foolish. The winds and rains of trouble will come, but Jesus is our Solid Rock, the master over all. 

Are you wise or foolish? 

In fasting you don't starve your body, but you starve the carnality within your body. You will learn to depend on God every day for all your needs.

Long before David wrote Psalm 23, God used the shepherd's rod to display His authority. Jesus is the rod and staff, and He has given us His authority. He said we shall do the works He did and even greater works. 

Go and do!

Don't pray with meaningless repetitions as the Pharisees did. Our heavenly Father knows what we need before we even ask. But we must ask, and we can enter His throne room with confidence and boldness to ask and receive.

In Old Testament times, the people went to the temple to pray. But that temple now resides within every person who believes in Jesus. Our prayer closet is not a physical room, though it can be, but that inner room of prayer is within us. 

Listen in to learn more and discover the power of prayer. 

The gospel is the power of God for salvation. The gospel is 4 things: death, burial, resurrection, and Jesus Christ. We are raised with Him and seated with Him in the heavens. 

Don't be ashamed of who you are in Christ. 

 It all starts with knowing Jesus Christ and Him crucified.

The world won't see the rapture when it happens; however, it will see the effects. But Jesus's second coming will be public. Every eye will see Him. He will not be coming back as Savior but as Judge. 

Are you ready? Are you watching?

The Bible doesn't tell us to understand the book of Revelation. It tells us to read it. Blessed is he who reads, hears, and heeds the words therein. 

The time is short to do what the Lord has given us to do.

Jesus gave the disciples a clear mandate: Go and make disciples, baptizing them and teaching them to observe all things that Jesus had commanded them. 

Instead of us going to sleep, what would happen if we each decided we'd bring 3 people into the kingdom of God? 

Jesus tells us to go into the all nations, preach the gospel, and make disciples. Pastor Gray gives us the steps to do it.

Listen in and discover what the Man on the middle cross has done for us.

Everything about Jesus' birth, from the gifts the magi brought to the shepherds, represents His mission from the manger to the cross as the sacrificial lamb for all mankind.

We must earnestly fight for the church and be aware of four spirits that seek to deceive us: the false prophet, the false teacher, the spirit of Balaam, and one who is worldly. But build yourselves up in your most holy faith so you can build up those around you.

When we ask the question "Why, God, did you allow this?" we show our lack of faith in God. When you give your heart to the Lord, He gives you eternal life through His Son, Jesus Christ. He has a destiny for you. 

We shouldn't ask, "why, God?" but say, "I trust You, God." 

Jesus did not come into the world as the Israelites expected or wanted him to. Instead he came as a baby, yet Isaiah 9:6 tells us Jesus shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. 

And He came to do that for all mankind.

What is the apostolic age? God is able to heal. He is able to deliver; He is able to save. And when we go back to that, we'll see a move of God like never before.

For the believer, it is not a time to go to sleep. It is a time continue in vigilant prayer, to build up our faith in God, and time to get out more of the Word of the Lord than ever before. 

We are to be watchmen who make mention of the Lord day and night.

From God's threshing floor we learn our identity, receive God's assignment, and are assured of His presence and authority as we carry out His assignment. 

Our purpose is greater than our pleasure.

 In our flesh, we are powerless against the enemy. But water baptism signifies we are dying in Christ. When we come up out of the water we are identifying with Christ's resurrection, and no longer operating in our flesh. 

Listen in for more T.R.U.T.H.

God is gracious and merciful. He is also holy and just. Babylon would tell you your pleasure is more important than your purpose. But no, it is time to pull down the idols in the church and return to the fear of the Lord.

The upcoming election is not about Democrats or Republicans. It's about good and evil. Not voting is being in agreement with evil. Though evil seems to dominate everything today, God will have the last say. 

Vote for righteousness.

The king insisted all bow down and worship the golden image he had built, and those who didn't would be put to death. In the End Times, the Antichrist will insist on the same thing.

Will you refuse like the Hebrew boys or submit to the demands of evil?

When Jesus went to the fig tree for a fig, he discovered no figs. That fig tree represents both the church and individual believers. 

Will the world find good, evil, or no fruit at all from us when it seeks to know the Lord?

Pastor Gray asks us, have we given up our lives for the sake of Jesus or are we holding onto the pleasures of this world? 

Where will your eternal destiny be? Will you meet Jesus as Judge or as Savior?

On Oct. 7, 2024, it will be one year since Hamas attacked Israel. The code name for this insurrection was The Flood. Israel's ultimate enemy, Satan, like Hamas, wants to destroy them. In doing that, Satan must also destroy the true church because it is the only ally Israel has. 

What tactics does Satan use to do this? And what is our role in the battle? 

Listen in to discover the answers.

Pastor encourages the church to examine themselves, repent of any sin, and walk holy. Then to proclaim Jesus to those around us.

The doctrine of Balaam had entered that church, and the same accusation can be said of today's churches. The doctrines of humanism and secularism are prevalent. 

We must repent and return to living the Truth--Christ's shed blood paid the price for our sins.

Jesus knew the good works the church of Ephesus was doing. But they had left their first love…Jesus. He was no longer first in their lives. Idols had taken a place in their hearts instead. 

He that has an ear let him hear. Have you left your first love?

Pastor asks, is your mind set on Christ? Have you been established in the Lord? Are you always searching out the things of Christ?

Listen in and discover more about your position in Christ.

The lost don't know they're lost. Like sheep, many have simply wandered off. Like the coin, the lost have not lost their value. And we must seek them out. But for the prodigals, we must pray for them to come home.

Today's churches are filled with dry bones, people whose relationship with the Lord is dead. Just as He promised Israel through the prophet Ezekiel, the Lord will open our graves and cause us to rise again. 

Do you have a grave that needs to be opened?

He discusses the connection between the spiritual and natural. We must be rooted in Christ to overcome. And God makes a promise to those who overcome. 

Grab your Bible and follow along.

The world lacks hope, but hope is always available to us through Jesus. As Timothy was a kindred spirit for Paul, Pastor Grace encourages us to be kindred spirits for our pastor. To bring hope to the world, to encourage and build them up.

The world and the church of today are filled with arrogance. Prophets are the eyes and ears of the Lord. But many refuse to listen to the Lord's instructions. We must beware of false prophets for they come in sheep's clothing but are ravening wolves. 

Wake up! And start preaching Jesus, simply Jesus.

Pastor expounds on four steps to knowing with certainty that you are born again. The first is conviction of sin. Next is confession of the truth. Third, God cleanses your heart. 

Listen in to hear the fourth.

Pastor Shell examines in a whole new way the parable of the lost sheep, lost coin, and lost son in Luke 15. Listen in and ask yourself if you fit into any of these three categories.

The kinsman redeemer bought back something that had been lost. Listen in and discover everything Jesus, as our kinsman redeemer, bought back for us. 

We are soldiers for the Lord. But we cannot be soldiers without first being servants, and we cannot be servants without first being pupils. Christ is the example we are to follow and become like.

Our time here on Earth is equivalent to 7 minutes in eternity. Is your life glorifying God?

In the fullness of time, Jesus came to the earth, not as God, not as an angel, but as a man. Why? Because only as man could He pay the price for mankind's sin. 

What the law could not do, Jesus did, so we could receive the adoption of sons.

Second Timothy 3:1-5 gives us a glimpse of what today's world is like. But God calls His  people to be holy and separate from the world. Holiness is not about being perfect, but being holy in all our behavior. 

Listen in for how you can make a difference in the world around you.

That word takes is present tense, meaning Christ takes away the sin of the world every day to those who come to Him in repentance. And when we do, He takes the world out of us.

Sugar is toxic and extremely damaging to our bodies, yet it tastes so good. Sugar equates to the easy life. Honey never spoils. 

Seventy-five percent of what makes up anointing oil is bitter. Jesus is the Messiah, the anointed One. The cross and the stripes Christ suffered were bitter. But His sacrifice is honey from the rock for our salvation and healing.

Pastor exhorts us not to let the spirit of Antichrist silence us, but to take our place as God's people and to stand up to proclaim His name. 

Having the recipe for godliness is no good without also having the ingredients. 

Listen in as Pastor Bill encourages us to recognize the power of God and be ready in season and out of season.

Pastor looks at Paul's 17 years apart from the Jerusalem church and how he was taught the Gospel of Christ.

In the troubling times ahead, nation will rise against nation, kingdom against kingdom. What nations are those and what kingdoms? How can we ensure we won't be deceived by the Antichrist? 

Listen in to today's sermon.

Pastor pays particular attention to Paul's statement "I am not lying."

When the angel Gabriel delivered his message to Mary, he stated 7 specific things about Jesus. How did Mary receive this, and what did she do with this information as she walked out her journey with her Son Jesus?

Listen in.

He pays particular attention to what occurred before the foundation of the world. 

Grab your Bible, follow along, and learn with us.

There are those in history and those today who say that in addition to accepting Christ they must also still keep the Mosaic law. Pastor Gray refutes that in his look at Gal. 2:19-20. Listen in.

The foundations of our country, of marriage, of the church are crumbling because we have put aside God. But Jesus says, "I will show you what it’s like when someone comes to me, listens to my teaching, and then follows it. It is like a person building a house who digs deep and lays the foundation on solid rock. When the floodwaters rise and break against that house, it stands firm because it is well built" (Luke 6:47-48 NLT). 

Jesus is our Rock, our foundation.

The church in America has been living in the gilded age, but God is bringing forth His true church as gold in the refiner's fire. The church has entered the Refiner's fire.

The earth felt the crucifixion and the resurrection and responded with earthquakes. The earth is groaning even now for Christ's return. Listen in and learn more.

It has been 3 years since the first cleansing of the temple. But no reformation has occurred, and Jesus cleanses it again before going to the cross. Pastor Gray declares what was declared on that day: Jesus is King of kings and Lord of lords.

What would Jesus do if He came to your house? Would He be pleased or not?

There are no gray areas with Jesus. He is the light of the world. As His followers, His light comes to the world through us. We are also the salt of the earth. 

God doesn't challenge us to become light to the world or salt to the earth. He simply states, "You are the light and the salt."

Those who are born of God become sons of God, and He desires that we become mature sons who overcome.

The Antichrist's activities are presently being restrained; however,  our enemy is working to deceive as many as he can. 

As the tribulation draws closer, we must meditate day and night on God's Word. Only in His Word will we find the wisdom and guidance we need for the end times.

God gave the five-fold ministry to the church for a reason. Listen in to learn what the five-fold ministry is and what it's purpose is.

Jesus told his disciples to "take heed that no one deceives you" because many would come in His name. The Bible makes it very clear that Jesus is the Messiah. Do let yourself be deceived.

Pastor Grace looks at 2 Timothy 3 and encourages us to examine ourselves against these verses. Our preparation begins with a firm foundation in the Bible.

Pastor expounds on the work of Jesus to bring the Gentiles into God's kingdom. He encourages us to lay down anything that is hindering our lives.

He encourages us to be as committed to the Lord in our work for him as they were.

Our works do not gain us salvation; that is a gift from God. But once we are saved, God has a work for us to complete.

Listen in.

Pastor Gray preaches on the power and authority that the name of Jesus embodies.

In the opening chapters of Ephesians, the apostle Paul emphasizes our position in Christ and the power that comes with that.

This week he examines the power and authority we gain in our position in Christ. Discover all Christ has done through His death on the cross.

Ephesians 1:1-8  is chockful of what Christ has done for us and our position in Him. We have been chosen, predestined, and adopted. 

Discover how with those three things we have been given all of heaven. 

Satan wants to steal from the church, kill the church, and destroy the legacy of the church. But we are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, and more.

Today, what is the condition of God's house, His people?

Are you going to remain silent?

Do you understand the authority and authenticity of the Bible?

He looks at 3 things: God's checklist for the journey,  that God takes the cross and turns our weakness into the demonstration of God's power, and God's roadmap to home.

And we are that salt and light. God has called you and equipped you for a work. Go, fulfill the work He has given you.

To start, we must ask ourselves two questions: Why did the cross have to be? and What does it mean to me?

 He also explains that God's gifts are irrevocable, but church is not using those gifts. 

Listen in on how to receive God's blessing and get encouragement to use God's gifts.

Then he goes on to look at faith/lack of faith/repentance pattern of the kings of the Old Testament and applies it to us today.

The first part of that ministry is to cast out demons. Yes, every believer can cast out demons. Listen in to Pastor Gray for more.

Jesus has told us, as born again believers, to preach the gospel and heal the sick. Listen in to discover how He has empowered us to do that.

Listen in and discover how to fight the devil and win.

If we could only see the hell and destruction that sin brings into our lives! God won't wink at sin, but neither will He override our freewill. Only Jesus can bring us the satisfaction we're looking for. 

Listen in for more.

Jesus held this one thing against the Ephesian church: they had left their first love. Pastor Gray encourages us to return to our first love and do the works we first did--healing the sick and preaching the gospel.

We are to be like John the Baptist, filled with an intensity to bring the kingdom of the gospel to those around us. Be violent toward the devil in advancing the kingdom of heaven here on Earth, but loving toward mankind. 

Listen in for more.

What were those things Jesus told His disciples and us? Listen in and rejoice.

Each of these kings had sin in their lives, but the Lord forgave them, as is witnessed in the Chronicles. He does the same for us.

Though Naaman was the enemy of Israel, he came to the prophet Elisha for healing. Naaman was told to dip 7 times in the Jordan. How can we apply this to our lives today? Listen in to learn.

Do we know our rights as citizens of God's kingdom? And how do we enter into the courts of heaven to be heard?

Lot was blessed because he walked with Abraham. But Lot chose to walk away from that. 

We are under the blessing of Abraham, the blessing of God, the blessing of Jesus, and the blessing of Holy Spirit. Do not walk away!

Listen in to discover the Bible's answer.

Wealth is silver and gold, money. The rich hoard that money, but the wealthy give it away. So what then is prosperity? 

Listen in and learn that nothing can stop the prosperity of God.

But there are no shortcuts to becoming mature disciples and it starts with examining ourselves today.

Why? Because the poor in spirit are not tied to any material substance, and substance is a tyranny that dictates your life. Being poor in spirit is the virtue from which all the other Beatitudes flow.

America is under God's judgment, but we have the ability to turn that around through the choices we make, life and good or death and evil. 

Turn to Deuteronomy 30:15 and join us for Pastor Gray's sermon.

Pastor Gray turns to 1 Corinthians 11:23-32 to teach the Church the power behind the bread and wine. 

What is our part? To examine ourselves before we partake.

But can we move beyond the foundational principles if we've taken out the foundations of the church?

Often it's culture that changes the church, but Pastor Graces exhorts us to be a disciple and have the church bring change to our cultural. 

Let's turn the world upside down and bring a great awakening to the world.

How do we apply that verse to ourselves today?

The devil wants us to remember our sins over and over, and feel condemned. But for those who are in Christ Jesus, there is no condemnation. Listen in for more.

The Kingdom of God is within the believer, and where the believer goes, the Kingdom goes also. To bring the Kingdom to those around us, we believers must be actively doing the same works Jesus did.

Listen in and find out. 

Have you lost your "saltiness?"

Our land will not be healed by the government or the military but only by God. 

God calls the spirit of grumbling rebellion. Are you like the Israelites in the desert, grumbling all along the way?

We must all appear before the judgement seat of Christ. Are you doing what the Lord has called you to do, using the gifts He has given you, or do you have tickling ears?

(Due to technical difficulties there is a disruption in the message about halfway through.)

The currency of the Kingdom is not what you'd expect. And it's freely available to all! Listen in and find out more.

Pilate asked the Pharisees if he should release to them Barabbas or Jesus the Messiah. They asked for Barabbas (Iron Father), and the church today is asking for the same thing.

Listen in to find out more and how you can declare the Word over your life and your family.

God's Word tells us He will show us great and mighty things. Surrender to Him an step into His life-giving water.

Condemnation does not exist in the life of a "you who" person. They are waiting for the Lord to return and want to be the person God has called them to be. 

Are you a "you who" person? Listen in and find out how to know if you are.

God called Ezekiel to prophesy over a valley full of dry bones. And Ezekiel obeyed and the bones came together and sinew and flesh came upon the bones. But it wasn't until God breathed into them that they came alive. 

How do these dry bones relate to today's church? Listen in to find the answer.

Complaining and unforgiveness affect us--spirit, soul, and body. But we can give them over to God for healing, and the effectual fervent prayer of the righteous accomplishes much. 

As Jesus stood before the tomb of Lazarus, he said, "Remove the stone." If the people had not obeyed, Lazarus' resurrection would never have happened. When Lazarus came forth, he was "bound hand and foot with wrappings, and his face was wrapped around with a cloth. Jesus said to them, 'Unbind him, and let him go.'" 

Through the power of the Holy Spirit within us, today's believers take action to loose those who are bound.

We are spirit, soul, and body, and the apostle Paul urges us to present our bodies as a living sacrifice. We do not want our flesh to control us, or to make decisions from our flesh rather than consulting the Holy Spirit about what to do. 

We are to be transformed not conformed. Listen in for more.

No man can tame the tongue. But God can. Listen in and discover what words can do.

"If Jesus could, He still can. If Jesus did, He still does. And if Jesus would, He still will." Listen in to discover all that Jesus died to give you.

In reviewing the experience of the prodigal son, Pastor compares it to where America is today. When the son came to his senses, he returned to the Father. We need to do the same.

When we took the Bible out of our lives, we opened the door for the devil to come in. The world is darker now than ever before. It's time to bring back the Light, to bring the Bible back into our lives.

We were once the man by the wayside, beaten and left for dead. But Jesus came and saved us. Now we follow the example of the Good Samaritan in reaching out to those in need.

You don't put new wine into an old wineskin. The Old Testament law was old wine, and the Pharisees of Jesus' day were old wineskins. But old wineskins can be made new. 

Listen in to discover how God can make you a new wineskin and fill you with the new wine of Jesus Christ.

Pastor reviews what God did for the Israelites in bringing them out of Egypt and what caused them to miss entering the Promised Land. Listen in and discover if you're making the same mistake.

As a born-again Christian we became the descendant of Abraham. Jesus' death redeemed us, healed us, delivered us, and resurrected us. Jesus death gave us back all that God promised Abraham.

Each one of us has received a special gift--salvation through the blood of our Lord Jesus Christ. God then also gives gifts to men and women--wisdom, knowledge, prophecy, miracles, faith, tongues. 

Serving one another, make your gift your employee and use it for the Kingdom!

The apostle Paul asks Philemon to forgive and forget the debt Onesimus owes him because that's what Jesus did on the cross for us.

We are in the last days before the return of Christ. We are about to suffer, and that suffering will usher in revival. We need to be grounded in the Word. We need to live and know Jesus as if we are going through 7 years of tribulation, but need to have the faith to believe that He's coming for us any time. 

Darkness and Light do not co-exist. Read the Bible to bring the Light into your life and the Holy Spirit will bring understanding of what you read.

Pastor Gray looks at those things that wage war against the "new man" and taint our witness as a child of God.

No temptation comes to us that hasn't assaulted somebody else first. Pastor reviews several scriptures that shows God knows how to rescue us from the temptations that come our way.

You can't love love God and not His children. You can't love His children and not God. We express our love for God by keeping His commandments, and His commandments are not burdensome. 

Do find His commandments burdensome? If so, why?

God wants us to copy who He is. He wants us to be imitators of who He is. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind and prove what is the good and acceptable will of God.

After establishing who the kinsman redeemer is and what he does, Pastor turns to the book of Revelation and shows how Jesus is our kinsman redeemer. 

Discover how amazing Jesus is!

The Gospel is constantly bearing fruit and increasing. When you get saved Christ comes into you and he lives in you. Were are living by faith in the Son of God. 

"Christ in me is all that I need." 

Listen in for more.

You do not put new wine into old wine skins. In the same manner, the Lord must perform a work in us before the new wine of the baptism of the Holy Spirit can fill us.

But Satan does everything he can to keep us out of God's Kingdom. We have to choose whether we are going to be in the Kingdom of God or in the world. 

Today's believers, through the power of the Holy Spirit in them, will do the works of Jesus and bring the gospel to those who are hungry to hear about Jesus.

The enemy wants to neutralize Christ in the church thus making the church powerless. We need to stop tolerating the things of the world and the things of the devil. The Church in the US is primed for the greatest revival known to man, but with it comes great persecution. 

Where  do you stand?

Pastor explains that where there is no prophetic word, the people are blind, and today's churches are blind because the prophets are not talking. 

Listen in and discover two negative spirits that have entered into the church and possibly even you.

Pastor Shell examines several substitutes going on in the church, among them are putting programs where presence ought to be and that religion does not replace relationship.

We cannot miss the message of the Word.

Moses trained Joshua as his successor. But Joshua was too busy in battle to establish the faith and ground the next generation in the Word of God. Thus, the next generation of Israel fell into idolatry. 

Today's Church is in that same position. How do we make a change?

God disciplines His children for their good, that they may share in His holiness. Discipline brings a child into obedience, and obedience brings that child into maturity. That maturity is what will establish your nation and your church. 

Fathers, do not be afraid to discipline your children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.

All that Jesus did in his ministry he did as a man through the Word of God. When you say to the devil, "It is written," he can't do anything about it. Because the Word destroys the foundation of the devil. Coming as a man, Jesus showed us how to overcome the devil through the written Word. 

There is nothing in our lives that God can't take of--body, soul, or spirit. God can take care of it all.

Satan tempted Jesus in each of these points after His 40 days in the desert. But Jesus went to the Word, the reference book, to defeat each temptation. 

When you face temptations, are you going to the Reference Book?

People follow where the power falls, and so the prophet Elijah forced the issue in a demonstration of power on Mt. Carmel. 

Today, we stand in Israel's place...are you worshipping false gods or the one true God?

If you are saved, you have NOW faith for anything you need in your life right now. But you must use your faith. 

"There is nothing in your life that the Word will not take care of." Faith extends beyond our natural ability. Go to the written Word and to the living Word, which is Jesus. God will provide.

Like Jacob's mother, Rebekah, we too often step in to help God rather than simply reminding Him of His word to us.

We are the church of Acts and the church of Acts is for today. When the Word of God is spoken, it's loud, it's recognizable, and it's drawing. 

People need Jesus. Speak the Word!

If Abraham rejoiced, we who are living in this day should be excited and rejoicing as well.

The miracle-working operation of God was normal for Jesus and in the lives of the first-century apostles. Miracles bring people into the church so they can then hear the gospel message. 

Let it be so today so God can be glorified.

God placed his cloud behind the Israelites, providing them with light, but darkness to the enemy. He will do the same for us.

Pastor Gray opens Easter morning by asking two questions: Who rolled the stone away? and Why look ye for the living among the dead?

The challenge wasn't for the prophets. The challenge was for the heart of the people. God is looking for a remnant that will arise in the midst of a great falling away. 

Where is your heart?

Are you caught in one of the devil's stronghold's? Listen in and discover how to escape to God's stronghold.

The apostacy of the Church must first occur before the Rapture comes and the "man of sin" can be revealed. We who are the Church currently restrain the devil, but when the Church stops preaching the Truth, what happens next?

It is a word for the individual, the Church, and for Israel. Listen in and dive deeper into the story of the prodigal son.

The gifts are given to each one and those gifts are subject to our will. Though these gifts are given to each one, they are for the profit of all. Discover what those gifts are and the gifts God has given to you.

Pastor examines Ephesians 6:10 and the word finally from a new perspective of our armor of God.

Realize that the second coming of the Lord and the Rapture are two separate events. Listen in to learn more.

Satan wants us to be a Christian of no effect, so be on guard and keep the Word. But we also need to continue growing in grace, and we can't do that if we aren't keeping the Word. Listen in for more.

God wants us to hear what He is saying to the Church through Revelation so He can usher in an awakening in our life greater than ever known. Are you hungry and ready for God to pour out His spirit?

You have to take the Word and mix it with faith, speak it out and believe it, and God will take care of it. Listen in for more.

Listen in to find out more about bringing revival, about the free gift God has given us, and all that comes with the gift.

Pastor takes another look at what pastors have taken out of the Bible and the need for repentance. Repentance starts first in the pulpit and then flows out to the congregation. 

What has the church excised from the Bible and how has that impacted us today? Listen as Pastor Gray preaches about the false doctrines in today's churches across America.

Believers will cast out demons, lay hands on the sick and they will be healed, and more. How exciting it is to be God's hands here on Earth!

He discusses the work of Holy Spirit in convicting us, our response to that conviction, and our subsequent death and resurrection in faith.

Whatever choices we make they will be blessings or curses. Pastor Bill expounds on listening to God, changing, and making choices for life and not death.

When we need help we can go to "down to Egypt" or to the Lord. Where are you going?

By two immutable things--His promise and His oath--it's impossible for God to lie. The promise God gave to Abraham is the same promise He's given to us. His promise and His oath is our hope. 

Those time are here and we need to be assured of whom we believe in. What do you believe personally that Jesus is able to do?

As born again children of God, we establish Kingdom principles here on Earth, but also now receive blessings on Earth from those principles as well as treasure laid up in heaven.

We are going to reap for God's kingdom what others have sown. Just as others will reap what we are sowing.

Are we standing in the way of the Truth reaching unbelievers or are we drawing them to the Truth? 

The enemy wants to destroy your legacy, destroy your name. He wants to destroy the kingdom of God. How does the enemy destroy the kingdom of God? Listen in to find out more.

Pastor Grace examines 2 Chronicles 7:11-16 and the story of Deborah the judge. He encourages the Church to wake up and walk in our resurrected life.

We each have been given a measure of faith. As we use that faith, it increases. And that one faith saves us, delivers us, heals us.
