The Serenity PrayerIn 1934, American theologian Reinhold Niebuhr preached a sermon in a small Massachusetts church that contained words now known as ‘The Serenity Prayer'. It's much more than a mantra for an A.A. meeting. The wisdom of the ‘Serenity Prayer' provides us with a pathway to Christian maturity.“Change what cannot be accepted and accept what cannot be changed.” Reinhold NiebuhrWe hope you can be with us this weekend for Part 6 of Pastor Ray's ‘Wisdom' series...“The Wisdom of the Serenity Prayer”

It has all been done before. Nothing under the sun is truly new. Sometimes people say, “Here is something new!” But actually it is old; nothing is ever truly new.Ecclesiastes 1:9 (NLT)Modern people tend to worship novelty and progress, but true wisdom comes from remembering God's unchanging truth, learning from history and applying the principles of the ancient faith to present-day problems. Come learn how life really works."The arrogance of the present day is the belief that we are wiser than all who went before, simply because we happen to live after them. To assume our ancestors have nothing to teach us is the height of intellectual and spiritual pride."Professor Carl Trueman, British TheologianWe hope you enjoy Part 5 of Pastor Ray's ‘Wisdom' series: “There Is Nothing New Under the Sun”

And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.James 1:2-4Here is our word of wisdom for this week: Hard times create strong men (and strong women).

But do we have the discernment to derail it?“Communism and socialism are roughly the same system, no matter how the land of mythical egalitarianism is implemented. These ideologies are all rooted in misguided empathy.”Gad SaadWe hope you can be with us this weekend as Pastor Ray exposes one of the Devil's most devious devices...“Democratic Socialism”

In our day, this virtue has been twisted and weaponized into a toxic tool of manipulation that controls the culture and may even bring about our destruction. But do we have the discernment to disarm it?“There is a form of empathy--an ungodly, sinful form of it; and the reason it is so dangerous is that while other sins are often recognized as potentially bad, most people have a hard time imagining how empathy could ever be harmful. So if I'm the devil, where am I going to hide some of my most destructive tactics? It would be under the thing that no one thought could be bad.”Joe Rigney, “The Sin of Empathy”We hope you enjoy Pastor Ray's provocative prophetic message: “Toxic Empathy”

And one of the Satan's most subtle devices in our day is spiritual and political manipulation by means of a counterfeit compassion called ‘suicidal empathy'. Come hear how it works.“Scripture warns us that our desire to show compassion can cross into dangerous territory if we ignore discernment. We can become partakers in someone else's rebellion, not by doing what they do, but by affirming or endorsing it under the guise of empathy.”Joe HammWe hope you enjoy Pastor Ray's message: “Discerning the Devil's Devices.”

What counts is whether we have been transformed into a new creation. (NLT)And as for all who walk by this rule, peace and mercy be upon them, and upon the Israel of God. (ESV)Galatians 6:15-16One of the most deceptive doctrines of Dispensationalism is the teaching that God has TWO PEOPLES, Israel and the Church and that He has a distinct, unique plan and destiny for each. The truth is that God has ONE PEOPLE, the Israel of God, which is His church in the Old Testament as well as the New.“Covenant theologians argue that God has one people of God throughout redemptive history, called ‘Israel' under the Old Testament, and called ‘the church' under the New. And God has one saving purpose for this one people: to redeem sinners from every tribe, tongue, nation and race through the blood of Jesus Christ; and that purpose is worked on the basis of covenants.”Dr. Guy WatersWe hope you enjoy this message with which Pastor Ray answers a critical question... “Who is the Israel of God?”

He is antichrist who denies the Father and the Son. Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father either; he who acknowledges the Son has the Father also.1 John 2:22-23The rabbinical Judaism of modern-day Israel has absolutely no connection to the Mosaic Judaism God gave Israel at Mount Sinai. It is antichrist and completely incompatible with biblical Christianity.“Judaism, after rejecting Christ, became a different religion altogether. What began in the days of the apostles as a struggle between synagogue and church, crystallized over centuries into rabbinic Judaism, defined precisely by its refusal to confess Jesus as Lord.”Joel Webbon & Jordan HallWe hope you enjoy Part 2 of Pastor Ray's message: “Judaism Versus Christianity.”

Nothing could be further from the truth! “To hyphenate Christianity with Judaism is to pretend that denying Christ can somehow stand alongside confessing Him. It is to suggest that two contradictory religions—one proclaiming Jesus as Lord, the other denying Him—are somehow united. This is not merely sloppy theology. It is blasphemy.”Joel Webbon & Jordan Hall, “The Hyphenated Heresy”We hope you enjoy Pastor Ray's message, “Judaism Versus Christianity”.

Welcome back to another episode of Stay True Podcast! This week, Madi and Grant sit down with Pastor Tim Timberlake, author, speaker, and lead pastor of Celebration Church, for a powerful and honest conversation about pain, purpose, and how God uses our hardest seasons to shape us. Together, they dive deep into what it means to trust God when life hurts: when the delay feels endless, the prayers seem unanswered, and the pain feels bigger than the purpose. This episode is for anyone walking through something hard (the heartbreak, the waiting, or the silence) and wondering if God is still working. We pray this podcast reminds you that pain is never wasted in God's hands. He's present in the heartbreak, He's shaping purpose through the process, and He's writing beauty into every broken place. Always stay you and stay true! Questions/topics discussed and answered: • How do you trust God's timing when life feels delayed? • How can God use pain to prepare you for purpose? • Why does God sometimes allow long seasons of waiting or difficulty? • How do you keep praying and believing when nothing seems to change? • How can gratitude and joy exist even in the middle of pain?
