“We know that he's come to steal, kill, and destroy.”
Pastor Mark E. Lewis preaches from Genesis 27 on the theme "Broken But Still Blessed," showing how Jacob—flawed and deceptive—is nonetheless the recipient of God's blessing, and calling listeners to embrace authenticity, rely on God's timing, and receive God's grace and salvation.
“"I have come that you might have life and have it more abundantly."”
A Bible study unpacking the Galatians message of liberation: freedom as an internal, communal reality rooted in Christ, contrasted with internalized oppression and dangerous misuses of scripture (e.g., Christian nationalism). Practical steps for emancipation—personal and collective—are emphasized alongside pastoral invitations to join and serve the church community.
“John 10:10 — the thief cometh not but for to steal, kill, destroy.”
A Bible study on God’s ‘‘unstoppable kingdom’’ that explores Acts 19’s account of new believers renouncing occult practices and shows how a prevailing, kingdom-centered faith—modeled by Abraham and grounded in the church—enables believers to overcome sin, receive God’s provision, and walk in victory.
““I've come that you might have life and have it more abundantly; the thief comes to steal and kill.””
Pastor Charles Jenkins teaches from Psalm 27:1 to paint a biblical picture of God as our light (guide and revealer), our lifeline (rescuer and restorer), and our Lord (shepherd, leader, and stronghold). He reviews God’s names and attributes as evidence of His character, uses practical analogies (headlights, hurricane shelter, lifelines on a game show) and calls listeners to remember past victories, trust God in storms, worship, and pursue the abundant life Jesus offers.
