Man O War Church is a welcoming congregation dedicated to serving God and learning his Word. Pastor Mitchell Tolle and Special Guests teach this thriving community of believers each Sunday at 9am and 11:15am EST in Lexington, Kentucky.

This message from 2 Peter 3:4–10 reminds us that although scoffers doubt Jesus' return, God is not slow — He is patient, giving people time to repent. The world will one day face judgment by fire, but God's desire is for all to turn to Him and receive eternal life. His patience is not weakness, but a loving invitation to salvation before it's too late.

The end is near, even at the door… and for those who wonder why… why tribulation? Because God is righteous, and sin must be judged. Satan must be dealt with, and God will do it. He has decreed it, and he will bring it to pass.

The opening of the first seal is the greatest deception ever unleashed on the world.

The fact that people don't believe there's going to be a rapture is inconsequential. Nobody believed Noah's message about a flood. The rapture is next.

In this week's message, “The Hope of the Second Coming,” we look at Peter's final words in 2 Peter 3, where he urges believers to stay rooted in God's Word and live with expectancy for Christ's return. In a world full of scoffers and spiritual distractions, we're reminded to encourage one another, hold fast to our faith, and let the hope of His coming stir us to greater love, holiness, and purpose.

Because the devil never rests, contending for the faith is a job that never ends.

Join us as guest Speaker Dr. Phi Cook preaches as we honor our pastors on this Pastor's Appreciation Sunday.

Here in the 2nd chapter Peter speaks adamantly against false teachers.

And if you can praise Him in your midnight, you're going to cross over and stay!

“Faith-walking is the basic, first work of crossing over”

And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. Luke 2:13-14

From fallen angels to the flood and fiery Sodom and Gomorrah, Peter gives us some powerful warnings—but also a huge dose of hope, reminding us that God knows exactly how to rescue those who are His.

“After this the Lord appointed seventy-two others and sent them on ahead of him, two by two, into every town and place where he himself was about to go.” Luke 10:1

God calls us to courageously leave comfort, embrace disruption, and faithfully work what He gives us—because destiny is not given all at once, but revealed through obedience, service, and the willingness to cross over.

“If you don't go to heaven on purpose you'll end up in hell!”

Introduction to the Apostle Paul's letter to the Galatians

Please join us as our guest, pastor Dan Tomberlin preaches the Word.

We are in message number 5 of Second Peter titled; The Inspired Word of God.

Peter affirms the Second Coming of Christ as true, based on eyewitness testimony and the divine authority of Scripture.

Pray, because your prayers one day will make Heaven go completely silent.

The power of scripture lies in its ability to illuminate, guide, and transform lives.

In this message, we see the apostle Peter nearing the end of his life, passionately urging believers to remember the greatness of their salvation and the truth of God's Word. As he reflects on the gravity, spirit, task, and brevity of ministry, Peter reminds us that real ministry is rooted in repetition, encouragement, and steadfastness in the face of false teaching.

Heaven is his home, but it cannot contain Him. He fills the universe.

Becoming a Christian isn't about self-improvement—it's about becoming a completely new person through the power of the Holy Spirit. God gives believers a new Lord (Jesus), a new nature, a new mind, new desires, and divine power to live a godly life, even through hardship.

“Heaven is God's Home. He has invited us to come live with Him.”

The Bible tells us we are to be faithful in managing our gifts responsibly.

Join us this morning with guest speaker Jeff McGirt.

We close our our study of 1st Peter tonight with message #15 - a message titled: Humility and Pride
