When you are threshing your wheat as Ruth was in chapter 2 of her story, you may feel beaten, but take courage, God is always at work in ways far beyond what you can see.

Beginning in Ruth 1:1, Pastor Melvin shows us how seemingly small decisions made by four different people had a large impact in their lives. Will you base your decision on reliance on yourself, emotions about your circumstances, what is reasonable from a carnal perspective or on the X Factor, the sacrificial love of our one true Lord and Savior, like Ruth did?

Beginning in Ruth chapter 1, Pastor John shows us a contrast between two women. Are you allowing your circumstances to define who you are like Naomi did when she changed her name to Mara, or are you gleaning as Ruth did and finding God at work no matter the delays, addictions, and disappointments, in your life or how downtrodden afflicted or destitute you feel.

Elder Honea begins in John Chapter 1, expounding on Jesus being the Light, and encouraging us in our life long battle to follow him by confessing our sins, cleansing our hands and purifying our hearts.

In Hebrews 11:24, Moses refused to be called a son of Pharoh. As children of God, we are not of this world. Is Christ in the center of your life? Is he what you are looking at to know what to do and how to conduct yourself? Elder Coker exhorts us to be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.

Elder Josh Coker takes 1 Samuel 17 as his text and shows us that without being committed to a cause, we will find ourselves empty, and the greatest cause to which we can commit ourselves is the cause of Christ.

In the familiar passage of Jonah 1-3, Elder Josh Coker shows us that our rebellious nature is pictured in the actions of Jonah, but our loving all powerful God orchestrates events in a way to bring us back to Him so that we can glorify him.

Join Pastor Melvin in 1 Samuel 17:20-51 as he shows us the three lies we have to fight--"God is disappointed in you," "you can't change," and "you have nothing and nobody"--and how to fight them so we can enjoy the victory God has won for us through Jesus Christ!

1 Samuel 16 records David's journey from shepherd to king. What we may view as punishment, God uses to prepare us. Pastor Melvin highlights four poignant takeaways for us.

Pastor Melvin begins in Mathew 26:6 and shows us how we may not understand someone else's worship until we are aware of their warfare. Don't think of critics around you; focus on the cross. You will never regret anything that you give to the Lord.
