Message by Arnold Camacho on July 6, 2024. We alone are no match for Satan, but Satan is no match for King Jesus. Jesus says we are His, that He bought us at a great price.

Message by Chris Brown on June 15, 2024. What in the world is a loving God doing bringing so much destruction on the earth?

Most of us would love to experience spiritual renewal. It begins with God rousing our spirits and changing our hearts so we have a desire to seek Him and power to live according to His purposes.

Message by Chris Brown on May 25, 2024. Our culture seems to be fascinated with the spiritual realm and the understanding that there are supernatural forces around us, or amongst us, that we cannot see.

Message by Larry Osborne on May 18, 2024. Who wouldn’t want to be blessed with health, wealth, and success? It obviously beats the alternative.

Message by Chris Brown on May 4, 2024. Maybe you have heard before that the God of the Bible is a jealous God, and that struck you as rather odd.
