Inappropriate Joy

By Fruit Of The Spirit, Joy
Are you happy? Do you have joy? Did you know that the two are not the same? Happiness comes and goes, but joy is persistent. We can be joyful in the midst of struggle, in the midst of persecution and even in our grief. How? Because joy is a choice. We have the ability to choose to be joyful no matter our circumstances. It is a joy the world does not understand and would even call inappropriate. Speaker: Rod Brandt

Everlasting Loving-Kindness

By Fruit Of The Spirit, Kindness
God calls us to be kind to others. This doesn't mean kindness when we feel like it or when it's convenient. No, God calls us to be intentionally kind. This includes when we feel indifferent, when we're facing trials in life and even when we're confronted by hate. That sounds like an impossible standard to meet. However, through the Holy Spirit, God produces not only the ability but also the desire to be kind. Speaker: Rod Brandt

Urgent Message To The Church

By Bible Basics, Salvation
Many, many people who call themselves Christians will have a horrific realization at The White Throne Judgment. They will hear the words, "Away from me, I never knew you." Jesus made it clear, time after time after time, that good people don't enter heaven. Redeemed people do. If you died today, would you spend eternity in heaven? Are you certain? What if you're wrong?
