What is fasting and why should I do it? These questions are addressed by Pastor Keith as he extols the congregation to pursue God.

Some people wait for God to move first before they believe, unable or unwilling to realize that He did that at Calvary. We need to pursue God with everything that is within us. And when we do, the results are amazing. This sermon series, we will look at what it means to do just that - pursue God!

Message from Will Martin

Living the Spirit-filled Christian life gives you freedom, not slavery. Find out how living the blessed life is exactly that - blessed!

We have access to more than we can ever imagine. Find out how you can access the kingdom of heaven and receive from the Lord!

God has given us the keys to the kingdom. But what does that mean? This month we look in depth at what it means to have the keys to the kingdom, and how that affects our spiritual walk.  Today, we start the key of authority. Find out what God has given you and how you can use it.

In our Christmas message, Pastor Keith shares how the birth of Jesus has brough the Kingdom of Heaven to us. His birth split time in two!

What does it mean to worship in spirit and truth? Jesus said it plainly when he was less concerned over where we come from versus what we do. Tradition can be good, but not when it keeps us from an actual moment with God.

The desire to be and feel blessed is one that everyone understands. Yet, God makes it clear in Deuteronomy 28 that His blessings comes from obedience. But oh that blessing! Its not a fancy car or monetary, because that's too small in God's eyes. It is a complete blessing of everything we are, do, and are a part of, as well as everything that is connected to us.

Brother Will Martin shares with the church on why your heart needs to be pure before God.

When you are wronged, it is hard to forgive. In his parable from Matthew 18, Jesus addresses just this. He demonstrates how great the forgiveness was from God, and why we need to model that.

When David realized the promise of God from Nathan, the Bible says he sat down and gave thanks. In other words, he paused his life to give honor and glory to God, even if the promise was not yet fulfilled. Like David, we too should pause and reflect about what God has not only done for us, but what He's going to do.

Is a giving heart only about money? Not really. God wants all of us, not just our money. Listen to the sermon from Pastor Greene about how you can give to God, because He gave so much.

In school, we would always be told by our teachers to study the material. Now more than ever, God wants us to study His Word, to show us approved. We can trust and rely on His Word for guidance, and even correction.

To say that we are a believer implies that not only do we believe in Jesus, but in what He can do. Sadly, the church has lost sight of that. No more! Let us rise up and be what God has called us to be!

In his message to the church on Pastor Appreciation Day, Will Martin outlines 7 things the church can do to help the Pastor.

We saw during COVID how important it is for us to be around each other. But, it is more than just coming to church. It is getting to know each other. When we get closer to each other, we get closer to God.

God used His voice to create life and the world around us. That must mean something. The Bible calls His Word a sword, the only offensive weapon in our arsenal. That must mean something. We must do more than read the Word of God. We must use the Word of God.

Jesus said go, but the church stays. The first century church struggled with this too. But, we need to go, baptize and teach. To all the world!

Can we expect to live in this life without trouble? The answer is no. But, we also know that God protects and cares for us in these situations. As we look Daniel, we know that His grace is there for us through the night!

In the story of the Good Samaritan, the hero was not the religious person, but the one who was despised by others. God places an emphasis on helping others. But, its hard. It requires being in the mud and getting blood on you, and it will cost you treasure. Perhaps that's why its easier to contribute to organizations who do that.  What if the church did this? What if we stopped saying we didn't do it, so its not our problem?

No matter what you have done, God restores. Without penalty. All we have to do is ask. You are never too far from His Love or reach.

The story of Esther is powerful, as it demonstrates the grace given to us in a time of need. Do you need something from the Lord? Lay hold of the scepter!

The gift of the Holy Spirit is the pinnacle of what God gives us because He is giving us a part of Himself. God within us! And more than that, His power flowing through us. Let us hear the word that Jesus said - Receive the Holy Ghost!

In our darkest moments, He reminds us of Who He is!

In our continued series on God Gives, Pastor Keith discusses today the gift of healing. God's desire is to see us healed. But how and when is always up to Him. Receive His healing for you today. He is willing and able.

David said Why so downcast, Oh my soul? Put your trust in God! But we do get down sometimes, because life happens, or happened. God gives joy despite our circumstance or what we have been through. Listen so you can receive joy in your life!

We have delivered from our sin, but are we free? As believers, there still can be many things that hold us back, or bound. Only God can say, "Loose him, and let him go!"

We celebrate our men, our fathers, today. Listen as Pastor Keith talks about how valuable our men are, and why the church needs them.  As a bonus, dad jokes are included.

It is clear that the church no longer holds the power it used to. Does that mean that God has diminished? Or, has the church become more focused on things that appear spiritual but are not?

In this third sermon in this series, we talk about a church that has compromised its mission and worship for the sake of the culture. We must stand strong in the faith, and love, against those who feel that sin is okay and God does not see it. But in standing strong, we extend the hand of help to those who are lost and seeking help.

In the second letter to the churches, Jesus looks at Smyrna church. The Smyrna church is one of only two letters that did not receive correction. But, they are also about to endure persecution.   Here in America, persecution is something we have not really dealt with. But it is coming. Our nation is rejecting Christ and blaming us for its woes. How will you deal with it? Be faithful, and receive the crown of life!

In our series on who we are as a church, we examine the seven letters to the seven churches of Asia in Revelation. Each letter details a particular problem in a church. Today, we examine how you can easily lose that passion and love for Christ. More importantly, how we do we get it back.

In today's sermon, we honor our mothers and recognize them as a gift from God.

In our beginning series on Who Are We as a Church, we look at three components that make a great church. It is not how great the music is, or how great the preaching is, or what programs they offer. It is Godly action both towards Him and others.

In our final message on dealing with grief, Pastor Keith talks about understanding the process of healing. Sometimes it is instantaneous, but as we see in the Scripture here, it can take time. Trust in the Lord for His time.

Have you ever felt alone while you grieve? Its a feeling that can haunt you. But we are not alone. God suffers with us.

We get so focused on the victory that we forget that grief is an emotion that needs to be part of the healing process. Listen as Pastor Keith begins his series on grief to learn that its okay to acknowledge what you have been through. That is the first step towards restoration.

Are we so focused on trying to understand how God works that we miss what He's doing right now? The disciples on the road to Emmaus were like that. It was only when they invited Jesus in for fellowship that their eyes were opened. Let the Lord open your eyes today so that you can see Him! The Glorious One!

The Cross was so much more than Jesus dying for our sins. Through the cross, every curse from the fall of man was undone! Now we are reconciled to God, and are made in His image!

In His farewell address, Jesus promised a Helper. Why a helper? Because He knew that we needed that Presence in our lives to receive guidance and teaching in the Truth, which is Jesus!

For the new few weeks leading up to Resurrection Sunday, we are looking at the last week of Jesus. Today, Pastor Keith talks about Jesus' entry into Jerusalem as a king, and how both the mob and religious leader received Him differently. How will you receive Him today?

In the final message on this series, Pastor Keith talks about how God restores us from bondage and not only gives us back our lives, but puts His Name upon us.

When man fell due to sin in the garden, our hope of righteousness in ourselves was gone. But God had a plan. God knew that He would send His Son one day, and that He would become our Righteousness through His shed blood on the cross!

Psalms 23 is one of the most beloved pieces of Scripture in the Bible. But do we understand the depth of how He is our Shepherd?  How He cares and lays down His life for us? He is indeed the Good Shepherd!

Brother Will Martin is our guest speaker today, speaking on suffering.

As you begin to study God, His characteristics begin to reveal themselves. This sermon series will examine each of these characteristics to help explain our loving Father. Today, we learn about God being our Healer. Do you need healing today? Most of us need some sort of healing, whether it be small or great. Whatever it is, God desires to make you whole!

As you begin to study God, His characteristics begin to reveal themselves. This sermon series will examine each of these characteristics to help explain our loving Father. Today's sermon is how God provides. He is our provider!

Some want the benefit of God without the relationship. The relationship involves becoming as He is - holy.  We cannot be holy in ourselves. But if we surrender to Him, He makes us holy.

Message from Will Martin on Humility.

Anna and Simeon are two figures in the New Testament we don't hear much about, but they were one of the first to not only see Jesus, but to recognize Him for Who He was!  Both were waiting on the Promise of the Messiah. What are you waiting for today? Do you believe that God is faithful to do as He says?

What will you be remembered for? Paul, the greatest missionary of all time, was less concerned about his legacy as a church planter and winner of the Gentiles, and more focused on a young preacher called Timothy.

When trouble hits us, we become defined by that. Instead, let us be defined by God!

Have we lost the ability to be appreciative for what we have, to be content? Paul said that his content was learned, meaning it wasn't natural. During this season, let us remember what it means to be thankful.

Some would rather hear a person speak to them a word rather than reading the Word. The danger in this is the accuracy, along with the loss of a direct relationship with God. Reading the Word of God can change your life!

What if all the disruption in your life was God removing obstacles? Sometimes the shaking we experience is the Lord making a way for us. Be encouraged today, knowing that He is always with you.

Today, the church honors the pastor and his family.

The Bible tells us to seek the Lord with all our heart and soul. But the church over the past few years has become more focused on what God can do for us instead. We need to seek God for Who He is, and know that He is a rewarded or those that diligently seek Him!

Did you know that Jesus specifically came to heal? Sin has thrust such a stain upon us that our bodies are broken. But the Lord restores! He restores us with His love, kindness, and grace. Be healed today in His Name!

In today's sermon, Pastor Keith talks about doing something we all hate to do - wait. Yet waiting renews our strength and grows our relationship with God. So why do we hate to wait? Be encouraged today knowing that God is always on time.

Over the next few weeks, we are going to discuss the four letter words of the Bible. Today is "hear", as in hearing God. Did you know that hearing God implies obedience? Find out more as you listen.

Much has been made about the crippling effects of depression. Is it real? Yes. Can God deliver you from it? Yes. Will it be easy. No. We are dealing with a powerful spirit meant to separate you from the love of God. But, there is Grace available to you to overcome.

Today we look at the amazing story of Elijah and a widow. This widow was chosen by God to feed Elijah during a drought. She could have said no, but she willingly gave what was left of the little she had to Elijah. Because of her obedience, God provided for her miraculously when others suffered.

Jesus encountered a man blind from birth. He was born into this, and his condition was no fault of his own. There are things in our lives that we have inherited or been placed upon us. It is time to let those things go.

This is not our home. We are going to a far better place. When things are going rough, know that He is coming soon!

For the past few weeks, we have spoken on how God wins battles for us. Today, we will discuss how God invites us to be participants.

Feeling overwhelmed? God has not left you or abandoned you.  However, we must have the faith in knowing that He will see us through!

The first thing the enemy will do is to steal your worship. Our worship is powerful because it recognizes who God is despite what we are going through.

You had it. The devil stole it. Now let's get it back.  In part 1 of this series, Pastor Keith challenges us to not let the devil have victory over you, but to instead be the victor!

A lot of the time, it is our own fear that holds us back from the promises of God. Find out how God has given you victory fear, and to become what He's called you to be.

When the Holy Ghost was poured out in Acts 2, it disrupted and changed a whole city. Gifts were operational in the church on a regular basis. But that's something that doesn't happen anymore. What happened? Listen as Pastor Keith talks about how we can return to that moment and be relative again.

To wait may be one of the most difficult things to do. What we don't see is how God is working in the background. There is a blessing in waiting on Him!

Sometimes as we go through the mediocrity of life, we memorialize our former lives into something more than it was. The Hebrews did not remember the enslavement, the beatings, the murder of their children, they could only think of how miserable they were at that moment. No matter how bad it may seem, with Jesus it is always better.

Guest speaker Lee Miley, a world evangelist, speaks to the church about breaking out in 2022.

In the final message of this series, Pastor Keith demonstrates that Jesus is the Truth. In a world where the truth seems to always be suspect, we can trust in Jesus.  He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life!

No greater words have been spoken than for it to have been said, "He is risen!" Let this message come into your heart and spring forth life!

On this Palm Sunday, Pastor Keith talks about how our agenda does not affect God, but it does affect our relationship with God. 

As we draw close to Easter, we focus on the farewell address to the disciples by Jesus. They didn't quite understand what was about to happen ,as the darkest moment of their lives was upon them. Yet, Jesus assures them that He is the Way!   If you would like to give to our church, you can do so securely here.

Today, we deal with the second act of Grace - sanctification. Find out why this is so important to God, and how we must live that holy lifestyle.

In the final day of our first ever leadership conference, Dr. Jeff McGirt (Alaska State Administrative Bishop) talks about how change is hard but necessary to build the local church.

We are not holy because of what we wear, we become holy because of what's in our heart.  What's in your heart always comes out, and that's what defiles us.

What does it mean to be holy, and why does it matter to God? Find out why God commands holiness from His people, and why living that life brings blessings!   If you would like to support this ministry, click here. Thank you!

In this final sermon on the My God series, we look at Psalms 91. In the midst of all things evil, God has promised protection for His people. But how does that explain those who suffer? Join us as we see this from God's eyes!   If you would like to support this ministry, simply click here.  Thank you!

God does not want to be separated from us, but our carnal nature cannot reconcile that. But God in His Grace has provided a way of salvation!

Healing is for today, and did not die out with the apostles. God is willing, and He is able to bring healing into your life!

Sometimes it seems our problems are bigger than God.  They are not.  Pastor Keith talks about how we can overcome through HIs Word and faith through Him!

On the final day of our youth conference, guest speaker Kyle Witmer shares his heart about facing challenges to our young people and church.

Having done all to stand.  It's tough to keep going, but Scripture urges to not give up the fight. We must continue in these dark and troubled times, using His armor to both protect us and fight against the enemy using the sword, which is the Word of God.

The past two years have been anything but easy.  Does 2022 promise to change that?  As we look at Scripture, we realize our hope cannot be in things getting better, but in a mighty God who can save us from the coming troubles!  Resolve today to serve Him.

The past two years have been anything but easy.  Does 2022 promise to change that?  As we look at Scripture, we realize our hope cannot be in things getting better, but in a mighty God who can save us from the coming troubles!   Part 2 of this series.

In this Christmas message, we are reminded that He came.  He came into a world vulnerable, yet there was no room for Him.  He came to heal, to save, to restore and make whole.  He came.

Just because you are serving God does not mean that you won't suffer rejection.  But, they are not rejecting you, they are rejecting Him.  When we go through this, God becomes more real to us than ever!

When we choose to work for God, we must remember that God is still Holy, and we cannot keep one foot in the world and the other serving Him. Repentance is not a burden, although it can be painful. It is in fact freedom! We weren't designed to be split between two thoughts. Choose Him!

God has chosen this generation for this time. He could've picked anyone, but He picked us. It's up to us to trust Him and to let Him work through us!

In the final sermon for this series, we focus on the completion of reconciliation to God. Through the death of Jesus, we are now reconciled to God and have been given the ministry of reconciliation!

What are you thankful for?  In a time where it seems easier and easier to be negative, how do we focus on the good things of God?

In today's sermon, we learn how Christ Himself dealt with rejection. Rejection is the worst pain of all, but God has never rejected you. Trust in Him, and let Him show you His Love.

Jesus undid the pain and shame caused by the devil at the fall of man.  He endured the cross and took upon Himself everything that we go through.  O what a Savior!

This past Sunday, we honored the man and family God sent us.  Will Martin speaks as to why this is important and necessary, and how this can help the church be blessed!

When Jesus died, it was more than just for our sins, although that seems more than enough.  Jesus systematically undid everything that became cursed due to Adam.  In today's sermon, we learn how the brutal being received by Jesus laid the foundation for our healing.

The devil hates when we worship, because worship involves communing with a mighty God.  Worship heals, restores, and strengthens us!

The devil hates a praying church.  Why?  Because it is a church that engages God for His will!  When God's will is done, then the atmosphere is changed!

What is one more thing the devil hates?  When we read God's Word.  Reading His Word helps us to avoid confusion, which leads to frustration.  Make a plan today to incorporate His Word into your life!

In our continuing focus on what the devil hates, we look a little deeper into unity versus division.  Being unified doesn't mean we always agree on everything.  But it means we have a single focus.  Our focus is to win the lost and disciple them!

As we kickoff this new series, the first item we explore is the concept of unity.  Unity is not everyone sitting around saying the same thing.  If fact, its the opposite.  At the end of the day, however, it becomes the beautiful voice of becoming like-minded.  In other words, having the same goal and means to get there.  When the church becomes unified - watch out!

Guest speaker Bill White, our District Overseer shares the Word on how God is here, and we can feel that when we impact the lives of others.

Whatever you are going through in your life, there is Power in His Blood to deliver you.  

Have you ever thought that if you understood what you were going through, it would be better?  There's something about us that wants to rationalize everything.  But, sometimes we just need to trust in the One who made it all.

How do you react when crisis comes?  Do you turn from God, or run to Him?

Do you find it hard to worship?  Worship is more than just singing songs, it is personal, intimate interaction with our Father.

The devil and his minions are always looking for a way to bring you down.  How do you get past that? Listen as Pastor Keith shows how you can be victorious, even when it seems you aren't.

Do you struggle from paycheck to paycheck?  Is there more month than there is money?  God gave a specific promise to meet our needs when we become obedient to His Word on giving.  That does not mean that we will leave rich lifestyles like some preach, but instead are able to know that we are taken care of.  Trusting God with our finances is the toughest thing to do, but can bring so much reward.

On July 4th, we celebrate our freedom as Americans.  Yet, many remain in a different bondage because of sin.  Jesus is here to set all free!  

Sometimes we need to take stock of where we are in Christ, as the relationship can easily get cold or stale.  God is looking for a church with passion, with zeal!

In part 2 of this series, Pastor finishes the story of Gideon, and how he destroyed the Midianite army with only 300 soldiers.  In addition, we hear some testimonies from those who attended camp.

It doesn't matter how small or insignificant you are, only how willing you are. Gideon was willing to defy his father's idol and stand up against the invading Midianites.  Now, God is looking for some Gideon's!

When you become part of a church, you are no longer by yourself.  You're a part of something.  You don't have to be lonely anymore!

God wants to bring us into fullness or completeness, but it means giving up and giving Him control.

Once the flame begins, it is hard to put out.  But, some need that flame rekindled.  In these last days, we need the Holy Spirit more than ever!

As we honor our 2021 High School Graduates, we need to speak to their hearts to assure them that only through following the Lord can they find success and a long life.
