In Hebrews 10, believers are encouraged and exhorted to continue on in three specific things: drawing near to God, holding fast to hope, and stirring up the church. But how many of us lack confidence in doing these things? I want us to look to the cross and the words found in Hebrews 10, and to be moved in doing these things.

Are you worn down by life's pressures? Even tempted to give up on the gospel? You're not alone. In our sermon this Sunday from 2 Timothy 3:10–17, “Hold Fast: How to Not Give Up on the Gospel,” the Apostle Paul gives powerful encouragement for facing opposition and confusion in our faith. In a world teeming with competing voices, where can we go to find strength to endure? Paul's answer is simple yet profound: the inspired, authoritative, and sufficient Word of God.

Rev. Kenneth Bomberger gives today's prayerful thought based on the day's Scripture readings. Begin your morning in word and prayer with Rev.

Last words are a big deal. This week, Pastor Connor looks at Joshua's farewell address to the leaders of Israel. One particular message was so important that Joshua repeated it three times: God has kept His promises to you in amazing ways! But be careful; if you turn away from Him, you'll experience the wrath He warned you of.This week, our hosts go deeper into Joshua, where we learn more about maintaining gratitude and awareness of God's work in our lives, how fearing the Lord is more than just avoiding sin, and how our understanding of the book of Joshua has changed. Oh and tune into the beginning to hear our hosts talk about some of the unwanted encounters they have had with animals in their homes.If you would like to watch the video podcast, find us on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMhDfGn0zfzi6XjcKkSVcFAFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/discovertbcInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/topekabiblechurchWebsite: https://www.discovertbc.com/

Mark Booker | Revelation 2:18-29 | Jesus exhorts believers in Thyatira to "hold fast" amidst teaching that is leading some of them to conform to the culture. This sermon considers several ways that we are tempted to compromise and calls us to see and behold Jesus - in his power, love, and mercy - as the key to remaining faithful.

Verse by verse. 

The salvation Jesus obtained through his blood was everything it takes to save his people, not just part of it.

Hold Fast to That Which Is Good 1 Thessalonians 5:21 With Brother Randy Rigney

Welcome to Databank Brawl Rewind! Databank Brawl was a series that ran on ForceCenter from 2016 to 2020, and it remains one of our more beloved shows. Though Databank Brawl is on hiatus, we wanted to celebrate it along with longtime listeners of the podcast and reintroduce it to the ForceCenter listeners who began listening to the podcast after the end of the show's run. Though all of the episodes remain on our podcast feed, it can be daunting to scroll back and find them, so we're launching Databank Rewind. Here's your chance to go back to those episodes week by week and laugh with us at old jokes, memorable moments, unforgettable guests, and, yeah, old microphones, recordings, and perhaps some Star Wars predictions that came true alongside many that most certainly did not. Databank Brawl -- where Star Wars characters are plucked from the entries of the StarWars.com databank and forced to fight it out in an off-the-cuff podcast moderated by Joseph Scrimshaw. It's time to fight...From the minds of Ken Napzok (comedian, host of The Napzok Files), Joseph Scrimshaw (comedian, writer, director of Dead Media), and Jennifer Landa (actress, YouTuber, crafter, contributor on StarWars.com) comes the ForceCenter Podcast Feed.
