The Great Script Writer Video Teaching

Feb 3rd, 2022

How we view God has a tremendous impact on how we view ourselves and others. He certainly is the Great Script Writer. We see familiar scenes from our life stories in every good film.

The Four Sides of Temptation

The Four Sides Of Temptation

Nov 17th, 2021

Critical is understanding that temptation is not sin. We must lean heavily on the Holy Spirit to turn us from temptation before we act on it. Pastor Joe gives us a briefing today. Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.

We have access to a deep intimacy with God so that our conscience, through the Holy Spirit, can be renewed. He'll…

Mar 19th, 2021

One year to the day I recorded this video. March 2020 vs. March 2021. What a difference a year makes. Early last year we were introduced to a new virus by the name of COVID-19. It turned this world upside down. But God wasn't surprised. He allowed this for our benefit. To me, it was a challenge and a call to arms - to make a difference in a world gripped by fear and uncertainty. I revisited this exact place but from a different perspective. Check out the video on…
