🚨NEW SERIES🚨DETAILS 👇

Whether we want to admit it or not… as Christians we have a target on our backs.

Not from a person. Not from a group. From Satan and his hosts.

It started in a cosmic war in heaven. Revelation 12 says Satan wanted to exalt himself, he and his demons rebelled, they lost to Michael the archangel, and they were hurled to earth. That same chapter says he leads the whole world astray and makes war on those who hold to the testimony of Jesus.

I’m not saying this to scare you. This is not a scare tactic. You just need to know what you and your family are actually fighting. It’s not the boogie man.

We have to play offense and defense. We have to be on our game.

“I go to church. I do daily devotions. I’m good.” Those things matter. They are not enough by themselves.

So we evaluate our lives: • What are you listening to? • What are your eyes watching? • What filters do you have in place?

Satan does not care how he pulls you into the dark.

He distracts and confuses people so they never meet Jesus (2 Corinthians 4:4; 11:3; Galatians 1:7).
He steals people away from Jesus (John 10:10; Matthew 13:19; Luke 22:3–4).
He puts people’s lives in bo***ge (Luke 13:16; Acts 10:38; 2 Timothy 2:26).

This Sunday we start a new series: TARGETED.

We are going to learn from Scripture why the enemy attacks, how he attacks, and how we fight with weapons that have divine power to demolish strongholds.

Come ready. Mind. Body. Soul. Join Us!!

In Christ,

Rev. Brad Standfest

🚨SUNDAY- “THE LIFE” 👇

For the last several weeks in our series The Sandals of Jesus, we have been unpacking John 14:6, where Jesus says: “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”
Look carefully at His words. He is not presenting Himself as one option among many. No. He is the way, the truth, and the life. And He did not merely claim these things—He demonstrated them while He walked the earth. He was crucified. Then He laughed in the face of death through His glorious resurrection. On the cross He triumphed over Satan and made a public spectacle of the powers of darkness. (Col.2:13–15 ) Now He offers everlasting life to all who put their faith and trust in Him.
This week we focus on this truth: Jesus is LIFE.
We will meet Nicodemus in John 3. This religious leader recognized that Jesus had something he had never seen. Jesus told him plainly:
“Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit.” (John 3:6)
Humanity’s problem is that we have been trying to save ourselves since the beginning of time. Jesus came to restore us—to reverse the curse and offer everlasting life beyond this world. But make no mistake: He also came to give us life here and now. He said, “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the fullest/abundance.” (John 10:10)
This Sunday we will walk through many passages about life. We will also briefly consider why Christianity stands above every other world religion. We are not saved by enlightening ourselves, working our way out of karma, or following the five pillars. We are saved through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ—the everlasting King of kings and Lord of lords.
Come join us this Sunday.

In Christ,
Rev. Pastor Brad

This week’s sermon: “What is Truth?”
Have you ever stood at a crossroads and asked, “Which way do I go?”
A lot of people aren’t just lost geographically—they’re truth-lost. Our world is deeply confused about what truth even is. It looks a lot like the Roman Empire in the days of Pontius Pilate.
Before Jesus went to the cross, Pilate asked a raw question humanity is still asking: “What is truth?”
In Rome, truth was whatever the empire wanted… whatever society thought best… endless philosophical debates.
America is in the same place. Truth is whatever society currently decides. “What is a woman?” now stumps professionals. Some even claim a man can become pregnant.
The world is trying to pull you into that confusion.
But Jesus looked Pilate in the eye and said,�“I came into the world to testify to the truth.”
The Greek word for “testify” means an eyewitness—someone who has seen and experienced something firsthand. Jesus wasn’t offering an opinion. He was claiming to be an eyewitness of the truth itself… an eyewitness of the heavenly realm.
In Christ,

PB
