In just a few weeks, we keep the Feast of Trumpets, which pictures the time of the return of Jesus Christ. This year, more than ever, we should be excited for what that day pictures… but at the same time we need to have a sense of urgency about us. More than other, now is the time to be awake!

July 12, 2025

We learn to trust God today through His promise of healing. God is faithful, and He will heal… but the ‘when’ and the ‘how’ are according to God’s will of our best interest. Do we have the faith in God to truly believe that, with every fiber of our being? Our eternity depends upon it.

True Freedom and Liberty

Given by Justin Adkins
July 5, 2025

We just celebrated our nation’s anniversary, but this year, more than any other in the past, our freedoms, our liberties are being eroded. We will see that true liberty isn’t freedom from God’s laws, but rather it is obedience to them. The Bible tells us that real freedom will prevail only when Jesus Christ… the One who truly paid the ultimat...

June 28, 2025

God warns about the sins of Jeroboam repeatedly Bible. While our individual sins are bad enough, what set Jeroboam apart in God’s eyes was that he was given the opportunity to do right and to succeed, and he purposely chose to turn his back on what God was offering… and he influenced many others to do the same thing.

Trying to master our human nature with our human nature only works until we find ourselves up against a temptation we struggle to resist.

Through wisdom, God structured and ordered the universe in a way that makes sense. When we embrace God’s words of wisdom, we can live a fulfilling life that also makes sense. He will ultimately reward those who embrace His words of wisdom and follow His lead.

Given by Justin Adkins
June 1, 2025

As the apostles waited on the Spirit to come on Pentecost so many years ago, they were unsure what to expect and what it would do. They had to learn how to use it and to respond to it. Today we have that same Spirit poured out on us. Let’s really appreciate it and use it as God intends.

The Church and Pentecost

Given by Justin Adkins
May 10, 2025

As God’s Holy Days show us, there is an early harvest. Christ, the first of the firstfruits, is represented as that wave sheaf during the DUB. Then, with Pentecost, there is that wave offering… those two loaves of leavened bread… a tiny representation of the entire harvest. God starts small, and expands His Plan to include everyone.
