Kierre Bjorn Lindsay and Karen Grant - On Sunday, August 31st our community took some intentional time to pray for the start of the school year.  This is a two-fold community prayer that begins with praying over students of every age and stage as they begin their studies.  It concludes with an intentional prayer over all educators, administrators and other support staff within the education system as they enter into a new year of teaching, leading and supporting. We had the opportunity to welcome back our friend, Kierre Bjorn Lindsay, as he led us this weekend. Kierre is the Central Worship Pastor at Celebration Church and a singer-songwriter who has worked with Common Hymnal, Housefires, Maverick City Music, and more.

And he began to be a mighty one on the earth. He was a mighty hunter before the Lord; therefore it is said, "Like Nimrod the mighty hunter before the Lord." And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel.Genesis 10:8-9Nimrod, the wicked great-grandson of Noah, and Babylon, the kingdom he created, provide us with a prototype and a preview of the spirit of antichrist and the kind of government he always seeks to install—dangers are still with us to this very day."Nimrod", in Hebrew, means "the Rebel,” one of the titles given the Antichrist in 2 Thessalonians 2:8—where he is called "The Lawless One". The form of Nimrod's rebellion was to head up a great confederacy in open revolt against God.Arthur W. PinkWe hope you enjoy Part 11 of our Bible studies in “Genesis: The Book of Beginnings”, “Nimrod and the Tower of Babel”.

Then God spoke to Noah and to his sons with him, saying: "And as for Me, behold, I establish My covenant with you and with your descendants after you...”Genesis 8:18; 9:8-9Upon exiting the Ark, God entered into a covenant with Noah that affects us all to this very day. You may be amazed to learn all it contains.“God's covenant with Noah is unconditional and based on God's faithfulness. It establishes the sanctity of life as humans made in God's image, the institution of capital punishment for murder, and the regularity of the seasons, all symbolized by the rainbow as a perpetual sign between God and the man.”J.

The prophetic implications of the first murder in human history must not be missed!“Cain and Abel stand as representatives of two great classes of people. They typify respectively, the lost and the saved; the self-righteous and the broken spirited; the formal professor and the genuine believer; those who rely upon their own works and those who rest upon the finished work of Christ; those who insist upon salvation by human merits and those who are willing to be saved by Divine grace; those who are rejected by God and those who are accepted and blessed.”Arthur Pink, “Gleanings in Genesis”We hope you enjoy Part 2 of Pastor Ray's teaching on...“The War Between Two Seeds”

The conflict between good and evil in our day is a continuation of God's decree in the Garden of Eden. A war between the seed of the serpent and the Seed of the woman.“In these two seeds we see the history of mankind, for everything recorded in the Bible, and in the annals of humanity, can ultimately be traced back to what happened in the Garden. Everything, and I mean everything, goes back to these two seeds.”Bill Cloud, “The Enmity Between the Seeds”We hope you can be with us this weekend as Pastor Ray continues our studies in “Genesis: The Book of Beginnings” with a message on: “The War Between Two Seeds”.

In Part 1, we presented the ‘mechanics' of the Fall; in Part 2, we looked at the ‘effects' of the Fall. This week we will consider how, in the midst of God's judgments upon the serpent, the woman, and the man, He predicted the coming of a Savior!

And they heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden. Then the Lord God called to Adam and said to him, "Where are you?" So he said, "I heard Your voice in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; and I hid myself."Genesis 3:7-10The 4 effects of man's fall into sin, recorded in Genesis 3, have been repeated in human behavior for over 6,000 years. Do you know what they are?“How evident it is that we all shared in the first sin and died in Adam. The first man stood in a federal position; and the fact that he acted in a representative capacity is seen by the fact that all his children share his nature and perpetuate his transgression.”Arthur W. PinkWe hope you enjoy Part 2 of Pastor Ray's teaching on “Echoes of Eden”.

And he said to the woman, "Has God actually said, 'You shall not eat of every tree of the garden'?"Genesis 3:1Mankind's first encounter with Satan, described in Genesis 3, established a tragic pattern of behavior that has echoed down through human history and even to our present day. We cannot understand our present predicament apart from our past. Or, as one said, “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” We can fix this.“The third chapter of Genesis is one of the most important chapters in all the Word of God. What has often been said of Genesis as a whole is particularly true of this chapter: it is the seed plot of the Bible. Here we find the Divine explanation of the present fallen and ruined condition of our race. Here we learn the subtle devices of our enemy, the Devil.”A.W.

But you'd be mistaken...The origin of evil was in heaven, not on earth.We hope you enjoy Part 3 of our Bible study series in...“Genesis: The Book of Beginnings.”

The answer is, begin with the beginning!We hope you can be with us this weekend for Pastor Ray's new series of studies on the most important book in the Bible: “Genesis: The Book of Beginnings”.

In this inspiring episode, we sit down with Pastor Tim Timberlake, Senior Pastor of Celebration Church, to delve into the profound topics of legacy, purpose, and resilience. Pastor Tim shares his insights on the importance of expending every ounce of our God-given purpose, stepping up in the face of adversity for our families, and the transformative power of encouraging and serving others. Drawing from his personal journey and experiences, Pastor Tim emphasizes the significance of intentional living and the impact of our daily choices. He discusses how embracing our roles with courage and faith can lead to a lasting legacy that influences generations. This conversation is a heartfelt reminder that our actions today shape the future, and by uplifting others, we find renewal ourselves. Whether you're seeking motivation to live purposefully or guidance on leading your family through challenges, this episode offers valuable wisdom and encouragement.

It is hard for you to kick against the goads.'Acts 26:14Saul of Tarsus, in his encounter with the risen Christ, was given the parable of the ox goad as a reminder of the self-inflicted pain that comes upon men and nations that kick back against the will of God. Saul surrendered and became Paul the Apostle. Could we see something similar happen in America today?“The ox kicks against the goad to spite the husbandman for having goaded him onward; but instead of hurting the husbandman it hurts itself. If you think, O man, that you can stop the progress of Christ's Church, you might as well bid the universe to stand still!”Charles SpurgeonWe hope you enjoy Pastor Ray's message, “Kicking Against the Goads”.

Mature Me is on the move.We're on The Road to VOUSCon—running 400 miles in 40 days from Jacksonville to Miami—serving people, building community, and having conversations along the way.In our first stop in Duval, Rich sits down in the RV with one of his favorite preachers—and longtime friend—Tim Timberlake, senior pastor of Celebration Church.Tim has been pastoring for 21 years. He's walked through pain, pastored under pressure, and grew up running from the call of God. But today, his mission is clear: “All I want is to make sure God is pleased before anything else.”In this episode, Tim and Rich talk about what it means to serve on the move—to be a church not only in the community, but truly for the community.They unpack spiritual maturity, the cost of consistency, and what it means to preach from a place of presence—not performance.Tim shares hard-earned wisdom:“If we seek popularity, we forfeit power.”“If the enemy can't get you to stop, he'll try to speed you up.”This conversation is for anyone navigating pain, pressure, and the tension of purpose.

No, I tell you, but rather division.”Jesus, in Luke 12:51There is a ‘Christianity Lite' version of the Gospel that craves unity at all cost. We must ‘be nice'. Compromise is ‘king'. But there is a polarizing power in the true gospel that is exposing good and evil, separating light and darkness, and dividing those who truly believe from those who do not. Sometime, division is a good thing. We hope you can be with us this weekend for Part 2 of Pastor Ray's message, “Christianity Lite: Tastes Great-Less Filling”.

But this time it's not a new brand of beer; it's a new kind of Christianity. And it could lead to the death of Democracy.“The chief danger that confronts the coming century will be religion without the Holy Ghost, Christianity without Christ, forgiveness without repentance, salvation without regeneration, politics without God, heaven without hell.”General William Booth, Founder of the Salvation ArmyWe hope you can be with us this weekend for Pastor Ray's message, “Christianity Lite: Tastes Great!

The prophecy came to pass. Might God be doing it again?“God is in total control. He makes that very clear in the Bible where he tells us that he raises up kings and destroys kingdoms. He even calls the pagan king Cyrus His ‘anointed'; His servant to do the things that He wants him to do.” Ken HammWe hope you enjoy Part 3 of our teaching series, “Jesus Incognito”, a fascinating message entitled... “Cyrus the Great, Donald J. Trump and the God Who Hides Himself”.

So it was, while they conversed and reasoned, that Jesus Himself drew near and went with them. But their eyes were restrained, so that they did not know Him.Luke 24:13-16Throughout the Bible, God hid Himself when He came among His people—'incognito'—disguised and mostly unrecognized. Even on the day of His resurrection, Mary mistook Him for a gardener, and the disciples on the Emmaus Road walked with Him but knew Him not. The question for us is, “Can WE recognize the risen Christ among us today?”We hope you can be with us this weekend for Part 2 of our Bible Study of “Jesus Incognito”...“The Road to Emmaus: How We Can Recognize the Risen Christ”

He reveals Himself yet remains hidden, and remains hidden even as He reveals Himself. Like the disciples on the road to Emmaus, He walks with us, yet we recognize Him not.“We may ignore, but we can nowhere evade the presence of God. The world is crowded with Him. But He walks everywhere incognito. And the incognito is not always easy to penetrate. Where is God found in our world today? Are we awake enough to notice?”C.S.

Jesus said to her, "Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking?" Supposing Him to be the gardener, she said to Him, "Sir, if you have carried Him away, tell me where you have laid Him, and I will take Him away."John 12:11, 14-15Why is it significant that the first person to encounter the risen Christ was a woman? How was it that she would mistake Him for a gardener? And what message might all this mean related to the modern American church?“Think of the Church as a garden and the risen Christ as the gardener. Then imagine what it would be like were it to be so.” Charles SpurgeonWe hope you enjoy Pastor Ray's special Resurrection Day message, “Supposing Him to be the Gardener”.

But the Apostles had a different message!"It is necessary to pass through many troubles on our way into the kingdom of God."Acts 14:22 (HCSB)“If you find it easy to be a Christian, you probably aren't one.”Matt WalshWe hope you enjoy this weekend's Bible study, “Blessing and Testing”.

Therefore He said: "A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom and to return. So he called ten of his servants, delivered to them ten minas, and said to them, 'Do business till I come.'Luke 19:11-14The genius of Jesus is on full display in this parable, where He (1) corrects false conceptions about the coming of the Kingdom, (2) makes the case that God's economy is capitalist not socialist, and (3) warns of the fearful judgment that will fall upon the lazy and the fearful. And doesn't this all this sound like a much-needed message for the modern American church?We hope you enjoy our study on the “Mysteries of the Kingdom of God” in... “The Parable of the Ten Minas”

But this honest, accurate commentary from 17th century Bible scholar Matthew Henry proves this was not always the case.“This parable plainly sets forth the sin and ruin of the Jewish nation; they and their leaders were the wicked vinedressers; and the judgment spoken against them is a caution to all that enjoy the privileges of the visible church, not to be high-minded, but fear.”Matthew Henry (1662-1714)We hope you enjoy Pastor Ray's provocative message on “The Parable of the Wicked Vinedressers”.

God has a value system, and we have a value system—and ours does not always agree with His.”R.C. SproulHow highly do you value the Kingdom of God? What price are you willing to pay to obtain it?

But when the grain had sprouted and produced a crop, then the tares also appeared. So the servants of the owner came and said to him, 'Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then does it have tares?'Matthew 13:24-27Why does God allow evil to continue in the world? How long must we endure this dreadful co-mingling of good and evil, right and wrong, ‘wheat' and ‘tares'? Jesus gave us the answers.We hope you can be with us this weekend as Pastor Ray continues his teaching on “The Kingdom Parables” with a message that reveals the mystery of “The Wheat and the Tares”.
