In an age of skepticism, rejection of absolute truth and morality, criticism of Scripture, disbelief in God, and promotion of post-modernism, one should expect there to be arguments, objections, and challenging questions posed to the Christian faith. According to 1 Peter 3:15, we are to be prepared to respond in a winsome and respectful way to anyone who asks us what we believe and why we believe it. This series on Christian Apologetics - the discipline that deals with a rational defense of the Christian faith - is designed to increase your ability to respond well to objections and questions about your faith in light of counter-perspectives, competing ideas and worldviews. This week we answer the question: Why Do You Believe Jesus Is the Only Way?

Any conversation about healing comes with questions. Is it God's will to heal? Is it always God's will to heal? Why do some people get healed while others don't? The reality is that many of us have more questions than answers. We may not have all the answers. But don't let what you don't know about healing neutralize what you do know about God. Whether the healing takes place medically, naturally, supernaturally, or eternally... healing is yours!
A special message on how to receive your healing.
There is something profound and powerful about singing. Worship to the Lord may be possible without singing, but nothing contributes more to its beauty, its tenderness and intimacy like singing.
A special message from Pastor Mae Garcia encouraging believers to know the power of the name of Jesus, the power of His Word, and the power of the Holy Spirit. Pastor Mae is the Senior Founding Pastor of Shiloh International Revival Church in the Philippines.
Immediately following His baptism, Jesus was led by the Holy Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. Jesus was tempted in every way, felt its full force, but was without sin. The significance of this account provides insight on the strategy the devil uses to tempt us. It also reveals the primary weapon Jesus used to defeat the devil: Scripture.
All of us experience times when our lives seem dead and lifeless like a valley of dry bones. But as Ezekiel raised his voice and spoke the Word of the Lord, it became a mighty, life-giving force and the dry bones began to rattle! God's Word is God-breathed. When you inhale God's Word, you exhale God's breath.
If Jesus were to evaluate your church, what do you think He would say? What might He say to other churches in your area? We actually have a pretty good idea. In Revelation, Jesus wrote seven evaluation letters to seven first-century congregations in Asia Minor, beginning with the church in Ephesus and concluding with the church in Laodicea. Jesus reviewed each local assembly of believers' faith and works, including points of commendation, concern, and correction. Though these letters were addressed to specific congregations in the first century, there are some remarkably relevant applications for us because we still face some of the same issues today. The seventh and final church Jesus addressed was the church in Laodicea. The letter contains some of the sharpest words of all the letters written to the churches in Asia Minor in terms of its piercing quality and penetrating intent to awaken a prideful, indifferent, and lethargic church who had grown lukewarm. It's the only letter than contains no praise or commendation, whatsoever.

The sixth church Jesus addressed was the church in Philadelphia. This was a small church with little resources but rich in good works, loyal to God's Word, and unashamed of their faith. This congregation had been faithful to the Lord in the face of real opposition. Now the Lord was opening up a new door of opportunity for the church for the advancement of gospel of Jesus Christ.
