Let's Take some questions on the war in Iran!

Join us tonight for an important update on the Iranian war and the significant events that have unfolded over the weekend. Following the update, we will stand together with believers in Texas and throughout our nation in prayer, asking the LORD to intervene, to restrain evil, to protect lives, and to accomplish His sovereign purposes in these critical days.

Believe it or not, the question of clean or unclean is one that gets asked every day. The implications of that answer and of that question are far-reaching, and believe it or not, they have everything to do with the grace of God if you're a Christian. Today we're going to talk about why this is such an important subject.

The days are darker. The world is more complicated than ever. The problems around us are growing, and they will not fix themselves. The solution begins with men who are willing to take responsibility and walk righteously. It is time to stand up. It is time to engage.

Tonight's prayer meeting is critical. We have big needs and a big God that we need to ask for those needs! This one is very important, so please consider joining us!

It's something nobody thinks about, but everybody should know. It happens from birth, and it should never be ignored. It's all spiritual, and if we do nothing about it, we will lose every time.

There are only three moments in human history where spiritual warfare has erupted with such visible intensity that it shook the course of mankind. The first was in the garden when man rebelled against God and the serpent struck at the very order of creation. The second was during the crucifixion of Jesus Christ and the events leading up to it, when the kingdom of darkness launched its most aggressive assault against the Son of God. Arguably, we are witnessing the beginnings of a third such moment in our own time as we move deeper into the last days. Today we will examine Mark 15:1–14 through that lens and uncover the unseen battle raging behind envy, political compromise, mob manipulation, and irrational hatred. What you are about to see may change the way you understand both the cross and the times in which we live.

Man devises his own plans in his heart, but the LORD has something completely different in mind. What seems right to us is often rooted in desires that feel justified, but when we surrender to the impulses of our own hearts, it leads to destruction. When we align ourselves with the mind and purposes of the LORD, however, we find peace, joy, and true blessing.

It is time to set the watchman. God's judgment is coming. He calls His people to pay attention. We cannot abdicate this responsibility. We must walk faithfully with our God and extend the warning of His imminent judgment.

From the very beginning, God created distinctions. With those distinctions, He gave us a call. In the fulfillment of that call, He established boundaries. Yet at some point, we chose not to honor those boundaries and began to blur the lines He clearly drew. Again and again, God warns us about the danger of erasing what He has defined. Now more than ever, we must heed His message and return to honoring the distinctions He has set before us.

Today we'll be talking about some very famous words that came out of the mouth of Jesus that Peter simply chose not to believe. And before we become so quick to condemn him for what he did, perhaps it might be good to stop and consider that but by the grace of God, so go I.

Prepare yourself to hear words so critical that they were left by a dying man to his son, knowing it was the only thing he had left to give to him. Get ready for some life-changing instruction.

Everything that God tells us is true, and responding to that truth is not optional. There are moments when the LORD makes the urgency unmistakable, and the only faithful response is obedience, even when it is uncomfortable or costly. In Isaiah 20, God uses Isaiah's obedience as a living example, showing us that walking in truth often requires surrender before it brings understanding. This chapter reminds us that obedience to God has the power to expose false trust, redirect our hearts, and change lives forever.

As of late, we have been seeing and hearing of many evil things taking place within different Christian church movements, and every bit of it has been heartbreaking. Perhaps the most astounding aspect of what is unfolding before our very eyes is what appears to be a profound lack of awareness or even respect for the God that so many of these leaders claim to represent. Here is the reality. God will not be mocked, and the truth will always come out. Let that be a sign to us of what we must be paying attention to, because it truly is that important.

The death of Christ and His resurrection are extraordinary moments in history, but perhaps the most remarkable part of His life was the perfection that led Him to the cross. He paid an immense price that we could never afford, and through Him we now have a salvation that cannot be earned. Now that we possess something so priceless, here's the real question. Are you willing to do your reasonable service? Because the truth is costly.

It's Getting really bad out there but we have hope. The answer is in front of out face and more than ever we must trust in the one who gave us the answer!

Karyn Johnson gives a survey of issues faced by the early church that Peter addresses in these books.

One of the most common complaints that comes from people in the church is that they do not feel like God has given them the opportunity they are looking for. The problem is that there are hundreds, if not thousands, of opportunities that God puts in front of His children, but none of those mean anything if you do not acknowledge His presence. The most foundational way we do that is through obedience, and that obedience gets rewarded. Brace yourself for a very important discussion in the Bible that will prove to change your life.

Life is filled with circumstances that create fear in our hearts, often pushing us in directions that are destructive. Yet when God is in the middle of those moments, fear can become a reminder that His hand is at work in ways we do not yet see. More often than we realize, fear comes just before great victory. Tonight, we are talking about all of it.

We're fighting a war that cannot be seen, and as we sit in the midst of it, the attacks are increasing. This is something we expected would happen in the last days, and there's only one way to engage and find victory.

Many have no awareness that walking with God is rooted in a work He alone accomplishes, and a simple faith we are called to exercise. When we lead by serving, it requires obedience that follows cleansing through God's sacrifice, and that obedience demands complete surrender. These actions point us forward to our true High Priest, our Messiah Jesus, who offered Himself as the ultimate sacrifice without sin and denied His own will by leading in perfect obedience to our heavenly Father.

Please join us for the very first prayer meeting, our all church prayer meeting of the year. We have a lot of very important things to pray for, and we have some very big needs to give to our great God. This one is very important, so please consider joining us!

In the words of the late, great Walter Martin, Christians who fail to engage in this spiritual war become the first casualties of it. And perhaps one of the leading factors that contribute to this type of casualty is the desire for comfort over prayer and obedience. Today we are going to talk about what may be one of the most important passages in the Bible to give us a better understanding of what all of this means.

Join us for what will be a great Q&A session! Don't Miss out!

One of the most shocking things revealed about God throughout the Bible is His clear and intentional desire to be close to us and to interact with us. He makes that obvious in virtually every way, but there is one major caveat that never changes. It has to be done His way. We do not get to approach God on our terms, because in almost every instance where we try to do that, we end up bringing destruction upon ourselves. Leviticus 7 makes this unmistakably clear. God is not distant, and He is not unwilling, but He is holy. Quite simply put, God is holy, and you don't get Him your way!

Throughout human history, mankind has consistently confused inaction with no action, and nowhere is this more evident than in how people view the true and living God. Because He loves us and cares about us, He warns us, patiently and repeatedly, yet we ignore Him, assuming His silence means indifference or weakness. But the day is coming when that patience will end. The God who calmly observes the nations will step forward as Judge, and when He does, everything will be leveled according to His righteousness. Make no mistake, when that moment arrives, you will want to be on the right side of history.

One of the most obvious signs of the fall of man centers around man's inability to keep his commitments. We seek to make promises and oftentimes fail to keep them, even when we mean to, even when we have the best of intentions. That is perhaps the most striking part of this passage. Contrary to popular belief, this passage does not deal with the subject of communion as much as it deals with another subject, a subject that is so consequential and so significant to the time in which we live that the devil is working overtime to make sure you never see it.

Things in this world are not nearly as gray as many want you to believe. According to God's law, life is far more defined than culture admits. You are either aligning yourself with what is good or you are siding with what is evil, and there is no neutral ground. That choice determines far more than momentary outcomes. It shapes your decisions, your direction, and ultimately whether your life builds what matters or tears everything down. In this study from Proverbs 8:12–21, we examine the one thing every man must have if he is going to be a builder instead of a destroyer.

God makes it clear that when you worship Him, you do not get to do it your way. Worship is never defined by preference, convenience, or image. It is defined by obedience. Anything outside of God's design is not creative expression, it is spiritual fraud. Leviticus chapter 6 exposes how easily worship can coexist with dishonesty, and how the LORD deals with fraud among those who claim to serve Him.

This is the passage that so many people debate almost every day. And quite frankly, there's no need for debate, because the future account of the city of Damascus is very clear. What isn't clear is the timing, but the one thing we know is that it's going to be sooner than later.

The average person who reads through this passage will likely not think much of it. On the surface, everything appears simple and familiar, with nothing that seems unusual or out of the ordinary. Yet this may be one of the most unique and consequential passages in the Gospel, and if we read past it too quickly, we risk missing something profoundly important. Slowing down and paying close attention here is critical, because what is happening beneath the surface carries eternal significance.

Today we are going to talk about a subject that many people often conflate with sin, and that is the subject of trespass. This is an area many overlook, yet it carries serious biblical implications. Stay tuned for a very eye opening discussion that will bring clarity and insight in a way that may truly change how you understand responsibility before the LORD.

This may be one of the most consequential passages in the Bible, describing why God judged Moab and what that judgment means for us today. God is not indifferent to human suffering, nor will He ever be. Make no mistake, this chapter stands as a sober warning to every nation and even to individuals that ignoring God's authority will always bring consequences.

December 31st, 2025 SPECIAL LIVE UPDATE with James Kaddis. So much has happened in the year 2025, and along the way, so much has been revealed to us according to what God has shown us in His Word. Tonight, we will be talking about subjects that range from artificial intelligence to Middle Eastern geopolitics, and every bit of it will be relevant, exciting, and even encouraging. Do not miss this special New Year's Eve service, as it promises to be a remarkable time as we examine the times we are living in through the truth of God's Word.

If 2026 even comes close to being a continuation of what we have already seen in the last four months of 2025, we need to be warned now. What is coming is moving quickly and it is coming with great fury. One thing is certain. God is speaking loudly and clearly, and He has already equipped His people to stand, endure, and be ready for what lies ahead. Today we are going to talk about exactly that. This is what to be ready for.

Join us for our very last prayer meeting of the year. There is so much we need to seek the LORD over, especially as we look ahead to what awaits us in 2026. This will be an important and intentional time of prayer, listening, and unity as we come before Him together. Do not miss this gathering, because I truly believe the LORD not only desires to speak to us, but He also wants to work through us as we speak to Him!

From the very beginning, our adversary the devil has done everything he could not only to destroy us eternally, but to eliminate any possibility that redemption could ever come to mankind. From the moment God promised a Savior, Satan launched a relentless war against the people through whom Christ would come, attempting again and again to wipe them out and stop the birth of the Messiah. Generation after generation, the line was threatened, attacked, and nearly erased, until finally, on a quiet night in Bethlehem, the unthinkable happened. Jesus Christ was born. In essence, we almost lost Christmas. But by the grace of God and the faithfulness of His promises, Christmas did happen, and because it did, we get to celebrate the greatest gift ever given. This is the story.

It is amazing how many people complain that they cannot hear from God or that God does not speak to them, when in reality God continues to speak loud and clear and we simply are not listening. What we see in this very specific Bible prophecy given to us by Isaiah proves that point unmistakably, and it should serve as a powerful reminder that when God speaks, our responsibility is to pay attention.

Don't miss out on a much needed and very important update on the ground in Israel!
