What does the Bible say about the last days — and are we living in them right now? In this powerful message, Pastor Todd takes a deep dive into Bible prophecy, walking through key passages in Daniel 7, Daniel 9, and 2 Thessalonians 2 to help believers understand what the end times will look like and what signs to watch for. From the chaos in the Middle East and wars erupting across the region, to the rise of a coming world leader who will promise peace before revealing his true nature, this message connects ancient scripture to today's headlines in a way that will open your eyes. You'll gain a clear picture of the 70 weeks of Daniel, the coming Antichrist, the abomination of desolation, and the millennium reign of Christ — all explained in a way that's accessible and grounded in God's Word. Rather than living in fear, Pastor Todd encourages believers to be watchmen — aware, discerning, and filled with hope as they see Bible prophecy unfold before their eyes. If you've ever wondered what the Bible says about end times or the signs of the last days, this is the message for you. Don't miss this eye-opening look at what's coming — and how to be ready.

Pastor Todd shares Friday's devotional podcast from Bible Fellowship Church. [Scripture: Ephesians 5:3]
What happens when God's Word is rediscovered and taken seriously again? Renewal begins. From the story of King Josiah, this message calls us back to wholehearted obedience. Not to earn God's favor, but to respond to His grace. Renewal remembers what we once practiced with fire. Renewal steps into obedience we have never sustained before. Renewal also requires subtraction, laying aside what competes for first place. The fire of the Holy Spirit is already in you. It just needs tending. Join us for this timely message from Pastor Todd at Odessa First Assembly and allow God to realign your heart, awaken your hunger, and set the direction for the days ahead.

March 1st, 2026 | No Other Gospel | Galatians 1:10-24Stories are powerful. From the dramatic conversion of Nicky Cruz—once a violent gang leader in 1950s New York who encountered the life-changing love of Christ through David Wilkerson—to the countless testimonies of believers throughout history, God uses transformed lives to proclaim a transforming Gospel.In this message, Pastor Todd Kaunitz opens Galatians 1:10–24 and shows us that the Apostle Paul wasn't simply defending his authority—he was declaring the authenticity and power of the true Gospel. As false teachers questioned Paul's message and motives, accusing him of being a man-pleaser who watered down the truth, Paul responded the most compelling way possible: he told his story.Paul reminds the Galatian church that the Gospel he preached wasn't man-made—it was revealed directly by Jesus Christ. And his life proved it. Once a violent persecutor of Christians, Paul encountered Christ on the road to Damascus (Acts 9), and everything changed. The man who once tried to destroy the Church became one of its boldest proclaimers. From being stoned and left for dead (Acts 14) to planting churches across regions, Paul demonstrated that he was not living to please people—but to please God.In this sermon, Pastor Todd highlights three powerful movements found in Paul's testimony:• Before I Met Jesus – Paul's former life of religious zeal and violent persecution reminds us that no one is too far gone for grace.• How I Met Jesus – A sovereign encounter with Christ changed everything. Salvation isn't gradual self-improvement; it's divine intervention.• Since I Met Jesus – Paul's life bore visible fruit. The churches glorified God because of the transformation they saw.Your story matters. When your story becomes a testimony, it becomes evidence of the Gospel's power. Like Paul, every believer has a “former life,” a moment of encounter, and a transformed future. And someone needs to hear it.If you've experienced the grace of Jesus, your testimony may be the on-ramp that leads someone else to faith.This week, ask yourself: Do I just have a story—or am I sharing a testimony?Do you know JESUS?: https://www.nblongview.org/do-you-know-jesusNeed PRAYER?: https://www.nblongview.org/praySUPPORT through giving: https://www.nbbctx.org/giving

Joshua 9 | March 1, 2026 | Pastor Todd SmithPastor Todd explores the critical importance of seeking divine guidance in all decisions, drawing from Joshua chapter 9. He highlights the Israelites' costly mistake when they were deceived by the Gibeonites because they "did not ask counsel from the Lord." This ancient narrative serves as a powerful reminder of how easily we can fall prey to deception when we rely solely on our own understanding.Discover three biblical ways to seek God's counsel: through His Word, His peace, and His people. Learn how to sharpen your discernment and navigate life's crossroads with wisdom and confidence, ensuring your choices align with God's perfect will.Connect with Crossroads Community Church:Website: https://lifeatcrossroads.orgFacebook: https://facebook.com/lifeatcrossroadsGive Online:https://lifeatcrossroads.org/giveonlineLicensing Information:CCLI License #2915685CCS WORSHIPcast License #9466Crossroads Community Church holds a CCS WORSHIPcast License, which grants permission to publicly play, perform, and stream musical compositions controlled by ASCAP, BMI, and SESAC in accordance with CCS License Terms and Conditions.
In a world filled with false teachings and spiritual deception, believers must remain grounded in biblical truth. Paul warned the Thessalonians about false claims regarding the end times, which caused fear and confusion among believers. Throughout history, deceptive movements have emerged through claimed revelations that add to or distort Scripture. Paul describes a future time when deception will peak through the Antichrist, but notes that the mystery of lawlessness is already at work today. People fall for deception because they refuse to love the truth. To stand firm, believers must remember that only God is God, begin each day with eternal perspective rather than worldly concerns, and trust in God's grace rather than perfect performance.https://www.ankenyfree.church
The study of end times can feel overwhelming, but understanding different perspectives helps us grasp what Scripture teaches about Christ's return. All Christians agree on foundational truths: Christ will return bodily and visibly, there will be final judgment and resurrection, and God will create new heavens and earth. The four major views are amillennialism (we're currently in the millennium), dispensational premillennialism (separate rapture and return), historic premillennialism (one return with literal millennium), and postmillennialism (gradual gospel victory). Each view has strengths and weaknesses, requiring humility in our interpretations. Regardless of which view you hold, Christ's return should motivate expectant living, godliness, and faithful gospel proclamation.https://www.ankenyfree.church

Did you know that God has always been strategic? Long before business schools ever invented the SWOT analysis, God was already laying out His plan -- identifying strengths, addressing weaknesses, seizing opportunities, and neutralizing threats -- with a precision that spans thousands of years of human history. In this powerful message, Pastor Todd walks through an incredible biblical timeline, starting with Moses in the wilderness and spanning all the way to the Babylonian exile, to show just how intentional and purposeful God is about every detail of your life. Drawing from scriptures like Jeremiah 29:11 and Romans 8:31, you'll discover that God's SWOT plan isn't just for nations -- it's deeply personal. He knows your name. He knows your strengths. He knows the threats you're facing. And He has a strategic plan to use every single one of those things for His glory and your good. Whether you've heard of a SWOT analysis before or this is a completely new concept, this message will give you a fresh way to think about your walk with God and your calling as a believer. Pastor Todd breaks down a spiritual SWOT framework that every believer can use to evaluate where they are and where God is calling them to go. You'll see God's SWOT, the believer's SWOT, and you'll be challenged to do your own personal spiritual SWOT -- sitting down with God, a cup of coffee, and a blank SWOT template to discover the opportunities and strengths you may not have even realized are already in your life. This isn't just theory. These are the swot analysis questions that can transform the way you see yourself and your purpose. If you've been feeling stuck, uncertain about your next step, or wondering whether God is really paying attention to your situation, this message is for you. God is not passive. He is not distant. He is strategic, intentional, and deeply involved in your story. You are not an afterthought -- you are part of His plan. Come ready to be encouraged, challenged, and equipped to live strategically for the God who has been strategic for you all along.

What does it take to truly reconnect with God? In Leviticus 8, we see the preparation of a priest, cleansed, clothed, and consecrated for holy purpose. In Ready To Reconnect, Pastor Todd Doxzon reminds us that through Christ we have been made kings and priests, called to live set apart and represent Him in the world. Reconnection does not happen by accident. It begins when we allow God to cleanse us through His Word, clothe us in Christ, and consecrate every part of our lives to His purposes. When we position our ears to hear His voice, our hands to serve, and our feet to walk in His ways, we step into the life He has prepared for us. The world has yet to see what God can do through one person fully dedicated to Him, and by His grace, that can be us.

February 22nd, 2026 | No Other Gospel | Galatians 1:6-9In this powerful message from our No Other Gospel series, Pastor Todd Kaunitz walks us through Epistle to the Galatians 1:6–9 and confronts one of the most urgent dangers facing the church—counterfeit gospels.The Apostle Paul opens his letter with strong words: “I am astonished…” The believers in Galatia had embraced the true Gospel—saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. But after Paul left, false teachers crept in with a subtle distortion: Jesus is necessary, they said—but not enough. Faith in Christ must be supplemented with circumcision and obedience to the Old Testament law.It sounded close to the truth. It used familiar language. But it was fatally flawed.Pastor Todd unpacks the meaning of the word euangelion—“good news”—a proclamation of victory. Just as a king would send word home that the enemy had been defeated, the Gospel announces that Jesus has conquered sin, death, and the grave. The message is clear: salvation comes by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone.But what happens when we add to that message?In this episode, you'll discover:Why “Jesus-plus” gospels actually abandon JesusHow adding works to grace nullifies the finished work of ChristThe difference between a distorted gospel and the true GospelWhy Paul's warning carries eternal weightFrom religious moralism to systems that subtly mix grace and works, Pastor Todd shows how counterfeit gospels often look nearly identical to the real thing—just like a fake bill that passes at first glance. The solution? Become so familiar with the true Gospel that you instantly recognize the counterfeit.Because in God's Kingdom math:Jesus + Nothing = EverythingJesus + Anything = NothingThis message is both a warning and an invitation. The true Gospel is good news—Jesus took the curse so we could receive grace. Any other message is not just a variation. It's no gospel at all.Listen in and rediscover the freedom, clarity, and power of the one true Gospel.Do you know JESUS?: https://www.nblongview.org/do-you-know-jesusNeed PRAYER?: https://www.nblongview.org/praySUPPORT through giving: https://www.nbbctx.org/giving
Life can feel overwhelming, making it difficult to stay motivated for faithful living. The apostle Paul provides four powerful motivations rooted in God's work rather than our circumstances. First, we belong to the triune God through Christ's sacrifice, giving us an identity worth representing well. Second, we can recognize God's visible growth and faithfulness in our lives by remembering pivotal moments when He proved reliable. Third, coming judgment reminds us that God sees our struggles and will bring perfect justice. Finally, divine glory transforms our perspective by connecting our work to God's eternal purposes, creating meaning that survives disappointment and daily challenges.https://www.ankenyfree.church
“Love shows up when others walk out—and stays when it's uncomfortable, inconvenient, and costly.”In this powerful Sunday morning message, Pastor Todd Smith delivers “A Most Disturbing Question,” calling the Church beyond words and into authentic, demonstrated love. Rooted in 1 Corinthians 13, this message confronts shallow expressions of love and challenges believers to embody a love that is visible, measurable, and sacrificial. Through real-life examples, revival testimonies, and bold truth, Pastor Todd reveals that true love doesn't retreat in failure—it steps closer. This message will stir your heart, deepen your compassion, and ignite a desire to love people the way Christ does—fully, faithfully, and without condition.#LoveShowsUp #PastorToddSmith #NorthGeorgiaRevival #SundayMorningSermon #ChristianTeaching #FaithHopeLove #1Corinthians13 #RevivalFire #LoveInAction #ChurchMessage #KingdomCulture #HolySpiritMove

1 Corinthians 5:5 (ESV) “5 you are to deliver this man to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, so that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord.” That's the goal…RESTORATION…so that that person may be SAVED when they face judgement day… whether you are a believer or not…we all have an appointment with our Creator on that day of judgement. We have to give an account of ourselves to the Lord. And we either have accepted Christ…repented from our sins and turned to him…Or rejected Christ…in our unrepentance…turning away from him…I pray that we would be SAVED when we face judgment…becase we KNOW JESUS…which is evident through our lives…
What happens when a marriage slowly drifts off course without anyone noticing? In Ephesians 4 and 5, we see that God's design for marriage is not built on feelings alone, but on intentional love, honor, kindness, and forgiveness. In this special marriage conversation, Pastor Todd and Denise Doxzon are joined by Marriage Coaches Kevin and Bree Bailey to unpack what it means for husbands to love like Christ, for wives to respond with respect, and for both to choose grace when it would be easier to withdraw.Strong marriages do not grow by accident. They grow through daily sacrifice, tenderhearted forgiveness, and choosing covenant over convenience. When we reflect Christ in the way we love, serve, and respond to one another, we position our marriages to rise instead of drift and experience the kind of relationship God designed from the beginning.

Many Christians today question whether they truly need church community, preferring to consume spiritual content independently. However, examining 1 Thessalonians 5:12-28 reveals that God designed His people to grow together in holiness through committed church relationships. Paul outlines four essential ingredients for healthy church life: proper leadership that provides oversight and instruction, helpful relationships where members actively support each other's spiritual growth, Spirit-filled worship characterized by joy and prayer, and genuine family bonds that go beyond casual acquaintance. True church community requires swimming against our culture's individualistic tendencies to become deeply invested in one another's lives, creating a holy family that demonstrates Christ's love to the world.https://www.ankenyfree.church

February 15th, 2026 | No Other Gospel | Galatians 1:1-5In this opening message of our new series through the book of Galatians, Pastor Todd Kaunitz lays a strong foundation with a clear and urgent reminder: there is no other Gospel.Traveling back to Paul's first missionary journey in Acts 13–14, we see the Gospel explode among the Gentiles in Galatia. But not long after, false teachers began adding requirements to salvation—insisting that faith in Jesus wasn't enough. Paul's response? A bold, uncompromising letter declaring that Jesus alone saves. To add to the Gospel is to miss the Gospel.In Galatians 1:1–5, Pastor Todd unpacks three powerful pillars of our Gospel foundation:Gospel Authority – The Gospel is not man-made. It comes directly from Jesus Christ and carries divine authority.Gospel Clarity – Salvation is by grace alone, through the death and resurrection of Jesus. We don't earn it—Christ accomplished it.Gospel Liberty – Jesus didn't just forgive our sins; He came to rescue and set us free from slavery to sin and religion.In a culture filled with relativism, compromise, and distorted truths, this message calls us back to the unchanging, sufficient, and life-giving truth of the Gospel. Grace brings peace. Jesus brings freedom. And the foundation of our faith must remain firm.If you've ever wondered whether faith in Christ is truly enough—or felt the pull to add performance to grace—this message is for you.There is no other Gospel.Do you know JESUS?: https://www.nblongview.org/do-you-know-jesusNeed PRAYER?: https://www.nblongview.org/praySUPPORT through giving: https://www.nbbctx.org/giving

This "Ecclesia" is a group called out for a specific purpose: to bring true worshipers into God's kingdom. The church is on offense, actively pushing against the gates of hell, not passively defending. It is a blood-bought body, owned and led by Christ, assuring its ultimate victory.

Death brings uncertainty and fear, but Paul's letter to the Thessalonians offers profound hope for believers. Christians who die are described as being asleep temporarily, remaining with Christ even in death. When Jesus returns, the dead in Christ will rise first, followed by living believers being caught up to meet Him in the air. This means believers are always with the Lord, whether in life or death. Unlike worldly hope that depends on circumstances, Christian hope is grounded in our permanent relationship with Christ and our identity as children of light.https://www.ankenyfree.church
“Once you've tasted revival, there's a holy fear of ever letting it go—so we must seize the moment and sustain what God is doing.”THE CULTURE THAT SUSTAINS REVIVALEight years into the North Georgia Revival, Pastor Todd Smith calls the church to guard what God has entrusted to them and build a culture that sustains His presence. With over 52,000 baptisms in one building and countless lives transformed around the world, this message celebrates what God has done while urgently preparing believers for what's next. Pastor Todd challenges the church to resist familiarity, remain hungry, and understand that hosting revival is both glorious and costly. Through testimonies of healing, deliverance, and surrender, this sermon emphasizes prayer, repentance, intercession, and wholehearted devotion as the foundation for sustaining a true move of God. The call is clear: search our hearts, link arms, and give everything to see revival continue—impacting families, cities, and the nation until Jesus returns#TheCultureThatSustainsRevival #NorthGeorgiaRevival #RevivalFire #SustainRevival #MoveOfGod #HolySpirit #PrayerAndFasting #Intercessors #ChristFellowshipChurch #Dawsonville #GloryOfGod #ChurchRevival #PresenceOfGod #RevivalIsNow

February 1st, 2026 | Encounter | Isaiah 64:1-4What does it really mean to pray for revival—and why aren't more believers desperate for it?In this message from the Encounter series, Pastor Todd Kaunitz unpacks the biblical meaning of revival: to live again. Drawing from Isaiah's cry in Isaiah 64:1–4, Pastor Todd walks through five powerful themes that shape a genuine prayer for revival—crisis, visitation, transformation, remembrance, and longing.This sermon confronts the spiritual crisis facing God's people, calls for a fresh visitation of God's presence, and explores how true revival transforms not only the church but entire cultures. From historic awakenings like the First and Second Great Awakenings, the 1857 Prayer Revival, the Welsh Revival, and the Jesus Movement, to modern glimpses of God's presence, listeners are reminded that every move of God is preceded by desperate, faithful prayer.Like a barren desert waiting for rain, this message calls the church to wait actively, cry out boldly, and believe that God still pours Himself out on those who seek Him.A timely and stirring call to pray for more than a mist—for a torrential downpour of God's Spirit.Do you know JESUS?: https://www.nblongview.org/do-you-know-jesusNeed PRAYER?: https://www.nblongview.org/praySUPPORT through giving: https://www.nbbctx.org/giving

January 25th, 2026 | Encounter | 2 Corinthians 3:7-18In this message from the Encounter series, Pastor Todd Kaunitz invites us to experience a fresh encounter with Jesus through the glory of God revealed in the Holy Spirit. Teaching from 2 Corinthians 3:7–18, Pastor Todd contrasts the fading glory of the Old Covenant—revealed through Moses and the Law—with the far greater, lasting glory of the New Covenant found in Christ.Paul shows us that while the Law exposed sin and brought condemnation, it could never transform the heart. True life, freedom, and transformation come through the indwelling power of the Holy Spirit. Where once a veil separated people from God's glory, that veil is now removed through faith in Jesus, giving believers bold access to God's presence.This sermon highlights three powerful truths about life in the Spirit:Access to a greater glory — God's presence now dwells within us through the Holy Spirit.Spiritual freedom — freedom from sin, shame, condemnation, and death.Ever-increasing transformation — an ongoing, inward change as we are shaped into the image of Christ.Pastor Todd explains that this life in the Spirit happens through believing (salvation, when the veil is removed) and beholding (continually gazing on the glory of the Lord through abiding in His presence). As we behold Jesus, we are transformed—because we truly become what we behold.A powerful call to examine whether we've truly believed and whether we're living a life of beholding the glory of the Lord.Do you know JESUS?: https://www.nblongview.org/do-you-know-jesusNeed PRAYER?: https://www.nblongview.org/praySUPPORT through giving: https://www.nbbctx.org/givingDo you know JESUS? https://www.nbgilmer.org/do-you-know-jesusNeed PRAYER? https://www.nbgilmer.org/praySupport through GIVING: https://www.nbbctx.org/giving

The apostle Paul's struggle and agony for believers he's never met reminds us of the depth of Christian love and the importance of spiritual encouragement. We're called to be 'knit together in love,' forming a tight-knit community that stands firm against false teachings and plausible arguments that threaten to lead us astray. The message emphasizes that all wisdom and knowledge are hidden in Christ, urging us to seek Him above all else. This passage invites us to reflect on our own convictions about Jesus and how firmly we're willing to stand for truth in a world full of deceptive ideologies. Are we ready to live for Christ, not just in moments of crisis, but in our everyday lives? This teaching challenges us to step into the arena of faith with courage, conviction, and clarity, reminding us that our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against spiritual forces that seek to undermine our faith.To find out more about Crossroads Community Church or to connect with us, visit the following links:→ lifeatcrossroads.org→ facebook.com/lifeatcrossroadsTo give online: lifeatcrossroads.org/giveonline.CCLI License: 2915685CCS WorshipCast License: 9466GRANT OF LICENSE.

What happens when trusting God requires surrender instead of certainty? In Genesis 22, we see that God doesn't test Abraham to harm him, but to reveal and strengthen his faith. In Tested To Be Trusted, Pastor Mike O'Connell walks us through this powerful moment to show that faith is refined when we respond quickly, worship fully, and obey God even when the cost feels high.Faith does not grow by avoiding the test. It grows by passing through it. When we stop asking how to escape the challenge and start asking what God is producing in us, we position ourselves to experience His provision, walk in His promises, and trust Him at a deeper level than ever before.
