In light of the Texas flash-flood that claimed the lives of more than 120 people, including 36 children, many people are left with unanswered questions.  The most common question people ask when struck with tragedy of some kind is, “Why God?”  Have you ever asked God, “Why?”  Have you ever been through tragedy or suffering that has left you confused and wondering why God didn't seem to intervene?  In today's teaching, Pastor Gary addresses the hard questions people ask when facing tragedy, and offers hope and comfort.

Pastor Gary explores Ezekiel 38 in light of recent world events, including the U.S. and Israel strikes on Iran's nuclear sites and Russia's growing alliance with Iran.

An in-depth study of 2 Kings 11-12

Samson was a man of great potential, empowered by the Spirit, and given a task from his mother's womb. But he lived a life of compromise. The little ways that Samson gave way to sin soon grew, leading to terrible consequences that culminated in his death. But even from this fallen man we can see an imperfect type of Christ: a prophesied deliverer who defeated the enemy most in his death. We can also learn that despite how far a person drifts from the Lord, we serve a faithful and merciful God who still draws near to those who cry out to Him.

An in-depth study of 2 Kings 4:23-5:14.

Have you ever felt agitated without cause, discouraged without reason, or tempted beyond usual? Have you ever had senseless bickering with your spouse, or weird misunderstandings with a friend? These can be examples of spiritual attacks that we all go through. There are spiritual forces of evil at war with spiritual forces of good over us in the unseen realm, which is just as real as the material, physical world in which we live even though we often are unaware of the battle we are in. Today, Pastor Gary teaches about the weapons of our warfare that are available for us to fight these battles.

An in-depth study of 2 Kings 3-4.

Did you know that giving is one of the Christian disciplines like faith, speech, knowledge, diligence, and love for others? That's exactly what Paul tells us in 2 Corinthians 8:7.

Jesus spoke more about money than He spoke about faith and prayer combined. In today's study, Pastor Gary shares five principles of generous giving from 2 Corinthians 8–9.

An in-depth study of Matthew 21.

There are a lot of misconceptions on the subject of angels. Many picture them as little chubby cherubs playing their harps in the clouds, but that could not be further from the truth. The Bible has a lot to say about this supporting cast of characters and their role in human affairs. In today's study, Pastor Austin addresses questions such as, “What are angels?” “What do angels look like?” “What do they do?” “Do they have bodies?” “Are there different kinds and ranks of angels?” and many more. 

We can commonly fall into discouragement when in seasons of suffering, but the apostle Paul pens this letter to the Philippians to reshape the Believer's perspective. Join us as Pastor Austin unpacks five timely principles from Philippians 1, helping us find a new perspective in the middle of pain. 

An in-depth study of Hebrews 1.

Have you ever had a conflict with someone? Have you ever battled fears? Of course you have! Everyone has. In 2 Corinthians 7, Paul admits to “outside conflicts and inside fears.” He dealt with physical distress on the outside from those who were opposed to him or his message, and he also battled emotional distress from fears within. Pastor Gary addresses these common issues that we all struggle with today in a teaching from 2 Corinthians 7.

The Bible encourages us to befriend unbelievers so that they might hear about Jesus and see Him in our lives, but the Bible also discourages us from forming partnerships, unions, or bonds with unbelievers. Paul warns us about this for two reasons: incompatibility and influence. Christians and non-Christians have different views, values, standards, and perspectives that will cause friction and strife within a partnership or union. In addition, the nonbeliever has the potential to influence the Believer in ways that might compromise him or her. Pastor Gary helps us to understand the wisdom of this passage in relation to dating, marriage, business relationships, and legally binding arrangements.

Join us for a special midweek Q&A night where Pastor Gary And Tyler Hamrick will do their best to answer your Bible Questions!

An in-depth study of 1 Kings 22.

God's grace is His unmerited, undeserved favor toward us. We are the recipients of God's grace in various forms. Someone once defined “GRACE” with the acronym: God's Riches At Christ's Expense. In 2 Corinthians 6:1, Paul warns us that it's possible to receive God's grace “in vain.” In other words, we can treat God's grace with disgrace or contempt by how we behave. In today's study, Pastor Gary warns us about the five ways we can receive God's grace in vain.

An in-depth study of 1 Kings 8.

The word “reconciliation” means “to restore harmony.” We typically use the word in regard to either accounting practices (reconciling financial statements) or, more commonly, in regard to relationships. Whenever a friendship or marriage becomes strained or broken, but then an effort is made to repair the relationship, we say there has been “reconciliation.” Paul used this word to describe God's pursuit of us in repairing our broken relationship with Him.  Jesus died on the cross to bring us to God in the ultimate reconciliation!

An in-depth study of Psalm 127.

The Bible tells us that there are three occasions of judgment from God. Which one you will face depends on who you are and what you have done (or not done), but the Bible says “we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ” (2 Corinthians 5:10). The three Judgments to come are (1) The Judgment of the Sheep and Goats (also called The Judgment of the Nations), (2) The Great White Throne Judgment, and (3) The Judgment Seat of Christ. In today's teaching, Pastor Gary breaks down the differences between these three judgments and helps us to be prepared for the one we will each have to face.
