From "Yet Again" to "Never Again"

Speaker:
J S Melvin
Date:
Just like David facing yet another giant, we often find ourselves facing the same struggles "yet again", and like David, we find that we are weary of fighting the same fight over and over. Join Pastor Melvin as he takes us through 2 Samuel 21:15-17 to teach us how to get from fighting our battles "yet again" to "never again".

Celebrate!

Speaker:
J S Melvin
Date:
In 1 Samuel 14:24, Saul gets so wrapped up in his agenda of pursuing his enemies (the Philistines) that he prevents his people from enjoying what they've earned. But the bible tells us that this is the day the Lord has made, and no matter what we're going through, we can always rejoice and be glad in the salvation he's given us. Don't let Satan take away the joy of what God has done for you. Join Pastor Melvin as he teaches us how to turn our deprivation into discipline and celebrate what God has done for us!

Leviathan

Speaker:
J S Melvin
Date:
We all have a leviathan in our lives--something we try to ignore, numb, or escape from--but we don't get a "tap out". In Isaiah 27:1-6, Isaiah prophecies about a day when the Lord will come and kill the leviathan and free us from the torment of our temptations. The best news is that that day came when Jesus died on the cross in our place! Join Pastor Melvin as he teaches us how to live in the freedom and protection that God has given us.

The Opposite of Love is Sin

Speaker:
Marty Smith
Date:
It is often said that the opposite of love is hate, but God, being love, hates sin. Romans 13:10 and 6:23 teach us that sin is not merely a failure to meet his standard, but is in direct opposition to loving God and those around you. Love is selfless where sin is selfish. If you want to be a loving person, what should your perspective be on the sin in your own life?

Many Infallible Proofs

Speaker:

On the cross, Jesus' last word was "Tetelestai", meaning "it is finished"--but he did not say "I am finished" because he is still working through you today. Using Acts 1:1-4 as a reference, Elder Marty walks us through some of the many infallible proofs of Jesus' life, death, and resurrection that provide us comfort and inspiration in our walk today.

Speaker:

Are you in Malta right now? Are you facing pressure from all sides because of decisions other people made? In Acts 28, Paul teaches us to feed the Holy Spirit inside of us so that we can face that pressure with the joy and peace only God can give; through us, God can write another chapter of Acts.

Why do the snakes of life bite us, and how are we supposed to react? Join Paul in Acts 28 as he teaches us not to point the finger of blame for our pain, but to take it to the cross in prayer and reach out the open palm of love.
