The Inconvenient Jesus | Pr. Daniel Gordan Dec 09, 2025

Show notes

Many people today have created a convenient version of Jesus who never challenges us or makes us uncomfortable. However, the biblical Jesus was far more demanding than our modern image suggests. He told the rich young man to sell everything, called crowds wicked, and rebuked dinner hosts. Jesus operated as King, not as someone seeking our approval. He intentionally delayed helping Lazarus and called Peter Satan after blessing him. Following the real Jesus means abandoning our personal agendas and accepting His lordship, even when it's inconvenient or challenging.

Finishing What He Starts! | Pr. Jay Gallimore Dec 08, 2025

Show notes

The chaos in our world often makes us wonder how long God will allow suffering to continue. Daniel 8:14 speaks of a 2,300-day prophecy leading to the cleansing of the heavenly sanctuary, which addresses Satan's accusations against God's character. Christ's death and resurrection provide both justification and sanctification, working to transform believers from the inside out. We have two natures but one character, formed by our choices to follow either our old selfish nature or Christ's new nature within us. As we approach the end times, God's people will demonstrate that His laws can be kept through Christ's power, vindicating His character before the universe. What Jesus starts in our lives, He promises to finish in righteousness and victory.

Thanksgiving and the Nine’s Disease | Pr. Daniel Gordan Nov 25, 2025

Show notes

The story of ten lepers healed by Jesus reveals a profound truth about salvation and gratitude. While all ten men were physically healed of their leprosy, only one returned to thank Jesus - a Samaritan who was doubly despised by society. Jesus declared that this man's faith had brought him salvation, not just healing. The difference was thanksgiving. The other nine suffered from what we might call the ninth disease: ingratitude. They felt entitled to their healing rather than recognizing it as an unmerited gift. This teaches us that salvation requires more than just receiving God's blessings - it demands a heart that actively expresses gratitude through thanksgiving.

Are You Washed | Pr. Jay Gallimore Nov 17, 2025

Show notes

Revelation asks the haunting question: who can stand when Jesus returns? As people from all walks of life flee in terror from the Lamb's wrath, God provides an answer through the sealing of His people. The 144,000 represents complete victory - God's ability to transform anyone regardless of their background or character flaws. The great multitude comes out of tribulation by washing their robes in the blood of the Lamb, which means surrendering daily to Christ and allowing Him to break the power of sin in their lives. Through constant communion with God and daily surrender, believers can be prepared to stand without fear when Christ returns in glory.

Dominion | Pr. Darrel Le Roux Nov 13, 2025

Show notes

The church stands at a critical moment as we approach Christ's return, requiring three essential elements: faith, humility, and giving God glory. God's desire for dominion isn't about control but restoration, reclaiming what was lost in Eden through sin. The greatest miracle God can perform is the conversion of the human heart, not supernatural signs and wonders. Medical missionary work and gospel ministry must unite as one arm of God's work, creating the fullness of the gospel message. Just as Moses lifted up the bronze serpent for healing, we must simply take God at His word and practice His principles. Through childlike faith and daily conversion, the church becomes God's appointed agency to display His love to the world.

The Last Work for the Last Generation | Pr. Michael Hess Nov 11, 2025

Show notes

God has called His people to a special work in these last days that goes beyond traditional ministry. This involves living the complete gospel that addresses physical, mental, and spiritual needs. True perfection comes not through human effort but by allowing Jesus to write His character in our minds. Our physical health directly impacts our spiritual connection with God, making our bodies temples of the Holy Spirit. The three angels' messages of Revelation 14 call us to worship the Creator, reject spiritual confusion, and avoid compromise with error. Medical missionary work is essential for every church member, opening hearts by addressing practical needs before sharing spiritual truth.

The Right to Belong | Pr. Daniel Gordan Nov 03, 2025

Show notes

Every human being is created in God's image because He is our Father, just as children bear their parents' likeness. When Adam and Eve sinned, humanity lost the right to be God's children and became spiritual orphans. Jesus, the eternal Word who existed before creation, came as the light of the world to restore what was lost. Though many rejected Him, those who receive Jesus are given the power and authority to become children of God through spiritual rebirth. As God's children, we receive three essential gifts: power over sin, the right to belong to His family, and freedom from slavery to fear and shame.

Like Hand in Glove | Pr. Stephen Bohr Oct 27, 2025

Show notes

Revelation 17 presents a powerful vision of a great harlot representing an apostate church that has forsaken Christ for worldly alliances. This symbolic woman sits on many waters, which represent peoples and nations under her influence. The chapter reveals how three interconnected powers - political rulers, the apostate religious system, and daughter churches - will unite to destroy God's people. However, during the seven last plagues, particularly the sixth plague when the Euphrates dries up, these very supporters will turn against the harlot. This mirrors the Red Sea deliverance, where God intervened when circumstances seemed most hopeless. The Kings from the East, led by Christ Himself, will arrive for the ultimate deliverance of God's faithful people.

Where Can Wisdom Be Found | Pr. Elias Brasil Oct 23, 2025

Show notes

In our information-rich age, we face the same question Job asked: Where can wisdom be found? Despite unprecedented access to knowledge, humanity hasn't grown proportionally wiser. Job 28 reveals that wisdom cannot be extracted through technology or purchased with wealth. True wisdom comes only from God and is found through fearing the Lord and departing from evil. The New Testament shows us that Jesus Christ himself is the wisdom of God, appearing as foolishness to the world yet representing ultimate divine wisdom. We can seek this wisdom daily through prayer, relationship with Christ, and living out heavenly principles that consider others' well-being.

The Power of ‘My Fault’ | Pr. Daniel Gordan Oct 22, 2025

Show notes

Judah's story in Genesis 38 reveals how repentance can transform even the most fallen person into someone God uses mightily. Despite his forbidden marriage, abandonment of family responsibilities, and moral failures, Judah's honest confession when confronted with his sin marked the beginning of his transformation. When he declared that Tamar was more righteous than he was, choosing truth over self-preservation, God began a work that would eventually make him an ancestor of Jesus Christ. This powerful account shows that no one is beyond God's redemptive power when they embrace genuine repentance.
