In our exploration of 2 Peter 2:12-17, we uncover the dangerous traits of false prophets and how to guard against their influence. The passage warns us about those who let sin run unchecked in their lives, valuing their opinions over Scripture and twisting God's word to justify their actions. We're reminded that truth isn't defined by our feelings or culture, but by Jesus Christ Himself. The remedy for a corrupted mind and hardened heart? Immersing ourselves in God's Word, allowing it to cleanse our thoughts and soften our hearts. This message challenges us to examine our own lives: Are we aligning ourselves with God's truth or justifying our sins? It's a powerful call to renew our minds through Scripture and apply its wisdom to our daily walk. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1425/29

Today we focuses on the importance of nurturing one's spouse through God's Word and valuing them as a precious gift from God. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1425/29

In this powerful exploration of marital love, we're challenged to view our relationships through the lens of God's design. The central message revolves around Colossians 3:18-19, urging husbands to love their wives and avoid bitterness. We're reminded that true love in marriage mirrors Christ's love for the church - sacrificial, nurturing, and deeply valuing. A profound insight emerges: our ability to love our spouse is intrinsically linked to how we receive God's love for ourselves. This message invites us to examine our hearts, asking if we've allowed worldly values to devalue our spouse or if we're nurturing them with God's word. As we reflect on these teachings, we're encouraged to cultivate God-honoring relationships by seeking His will, being filled with the Holy Spirit, speaking words of edification, giving thanks, and mutually submitting in reverence to God. This wisdom isn't just for married couples - it's a blueprint for all believers to deepen their relationships and ignite revival, starting in our own homes.

We finish up part 4 of our series, Counteracting Counterfeits as we hear how God never intended for us to live in hopelessness; Christ's resurrection defies the norm of despair. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1425/29

Our culture is experiencing hopelessness due to the rejection of truth, particularly the truth of God and His Word. Mary Magdalene's story illustrates the transformation from complete hopelessness to finding hope in Jesus Christ. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1425/29

We're reminded that true hope can only be found in Jesus Christ. The resurrection story, centered in Matthew 27, showcases how hopelessness can turn into everlasting hope. We see this transformation through Mary Magdalene's journey - once possessed by seven demons, representing complete bondage, she found freedom and purpose in Christ. This parallel reminds us that no matter how dire our circumstances may seem, Sunday is always coming. Our culture often rejects truth for convenient lies, leading to a sense of hopelessness. However, we're called to embrace the truth that sets us free. As believers, we must recognize that living in despair is not the norm God intended for us. Instead, we're encouraged to sit up straight, reject the lies, and remember we're created in God's image with a future and a hope.

Today we'll hear three reasons why God's Word can be trusted: eyewitness accounts, prophetic fulfillment, and divine inspiration. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1425/29

In this powerful message, we're reminded of the incredible trustworthiness of God's Word. Drawing from 2 Peter 1, we explore three compelling reasons why we can rely on Scripture: eyewitness accounts, prophetic fulfillment, and divine inspiration. Just as Peter witnessed Christ's transfiguration, we too are called to be witnesses of God's majesty in our daily lives. The message challenges us to embrace the entirety of God's Word, not cherry-picking what suits us. It's a sobering reminder that rejecting parts of Scripture is essentially rejecting Christ Himself. As we reflect on this, let's consider how we can better anchor our lives in God's unchanging truth, allowing it to transform us from the inside out. Are we truly receiving God's Word as divine truth, or merely as human opinion? This message urges us to deepen our faith and stand firm on the solid foundation of Scripture in a world that often seeks to undermine it.

Today we finish part two of our series, Counteracting Counterfeits. In this message, we learn that the greatest evidence of our calling and election is our progression in faith. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1425/29

Continuing our series in 2 Peter we hear part two of verses 10-11. Today, we delve into the concepts of God's calling and election in our lives. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1425/29

Are we progressing in our faith or simply standing still? Today's message challenges us to embrace the concept of spiritual addition. Just as a house needs a strong foundation, we're called to build upon our initial faith in Christ. The apostle Peter urges us to be 'even more diligent' in making our calling and election sure. This isn't about convincing God, but about convincing ourselves through active spiritual growth. We're reminded that Christianity isn't a one-time decision, but a continual journey of transformation. By adding virtues like goodness, knowledge, and love to our faith, we demonstrate the reality of our salvation. Let's reflect on our own spiritual journey - are we seeing evidence of growth and change? This message encourages us to partner with God in our transformation, putting off the old nature and putting on the new. As we progress, we'll find renewed passion and joy in our walk with Christ.

Final message from Pastor Al on 2 Peter 1:1-9. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1425/29

We're reminded of the transformative power of God's promises and His divine nature. The key scripture, 2 Peter 1:3-4, reveals that God has given us everything we need for life and godliness through His divine power. We're called to be 'partakers of the divine nature,' which is fundamentally about love. This isn't just a one-time event, but a daily commitment to fellowship with God. The analogy of 'catch and release' fishing beautifully illustrates that God doesn't just 'catch' us and let us go - He holds onto us, seeing us as precious jewels. This message challenges us to stay connected to our power source - Christ - and to live out God's promises in our lives as a witness to the world. It's a call to move beyond simply knowing God's promises to experiencing them, allowing His faithfulness to shine through us.

In this powerful message, we're reminded of the transformative power of our faith in Christ. The apostle Peter's words in 2 Peter challenge us to recognize the precious faith we've obtained and the divine power available to us for life and godliness. We're called to be 'bondservants' of Christ, willingly serving Him not for recognition or rewards, but because we belong to Him. This perspective shift reminds us that our lives are not our own, but purchased at a great price. As we grow in our knowledge of God through His Word, we experience a multiplication of grace and peace. Let's reflect on how we can deepen our connection to Christ, tapping into the power He provides for our daily walk.

When a man or a woman is more concerned about their reputation than their character, there's no end to what they'll do to make themselves look good. So if satan can get a Christian; and especially a Christian leader, to be proud, devastation can follow. To help us reject this tactic of the devil, we join pastor Al in Acts chapter fourteen, and a message titled “Sustaining Presence”.

Some pastors are altering the message of the gospel in order to make it more listener friendly. But if you change the message, it loses it's power because it's no longer the gospel. For it's only the gospel that is the power of God unto salvation. On today's edition of The Dwelling Place, we'll be inspired to hold to the truth of the gospel despite the response.

We've been going verse by verse through the book of Acts, and today, we will be finishing chapter thirteen. It was pretty early on in Paul's evangelical ministry when he realized that the message he was sharing was being rejected by a lot of people. He was telling the people that the gospel message was for everyone - whether you were jewish or gentile. A lot of religious leaders of the day didn't appreciate hearing that!

Pastor Al continues in the book of Acts today, and what he will remind us of is one of the most important truths we find in the bible - when we receive Jesus as savior, we immediately become an enemy of the world. But the cool thing about it is, God knows we will make enemies when we start following Him, and He'll carry us through the difficult times we'll surely face.

Paul and his cohorts are spreading the message of salvation throughout the land, and the reaction they get varies quite a bit. There were those who were simply astounded to learn that could have salvation from sin through simple faith in Jesus. And there were those who thought Paul and his friends were out of their minds!

he people of Colossi were not too different from believers today - they tended to stray away from their faith and trust themselves to find the answers to a fulfilling life. Paul's letter is designed to lead them back to Christ. Sounds like a good idea, doesn't it? To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1425/29

Unfortunately, war and violence are an everyday part of our existence today. But when you see a building that's been flattened by a bomb or some explosion, the one thing that always remains intact is the foundation. When we face trials and tribulations, that foundation should always remain intact! Today on The Dwelling Place, Al Pittman will take us again to Acts chapter thirteen as we explore the foundations of our faith in God.

One of the many things we learn from studying the life of the Apostle Paul is the way his ministry thrived in the face of the evil that was going on around him.

Being a Christian in a secular world isn't always easy is it? You might even see the conflict between righteousness and worldliness on the job every day. The temptations are everywhere.

Of all the occurrences in the book of Acts, what happens in chapter ten is among the most significant. The gentiles are hearing the gospel message for the first time.
