Tomorrow we continue our study of the book of Daniel and we’ll be tackling the final vision of Daniel’s life. After the truly epic introduction in chapter 10 with the Angelic Hosts, it’s obvious that this final vision is deeply important… and it’s a big one! Chapters 11 and 12 both deal with the vision, and we’ll spend the next 3 Sundays studying it. Tomorrow, we’ll cover the first 35 verses of chapter 11… and at first it seems like a very odd vision. There’s an enormous amount of detail about coming battles, treaties, treachery, apostasy, and revival. All of this prophecy in the first 35 verses has already come spectacularly true – but that doesn’t mean there isn’t anything more for us to learn today! In-fact, as we’ll see, there is a profound lesson here that can shape the way we look at the whole sweep of human history!

As Americans, we tend to think of History as moving in a straight line: upward and forward in constant progress towards bigger and better things. But when we look at things from God’s point of view we see something shocking! The events unfolding around us in history are like echoes… not just repeating things that have happened, but in a prophetic warning are showing us things that WILL happen yet in the future. There are deep cycles at work in history, and as we begin to understand what the Bible says about these things, we can be better prepared to thrive while we’re living here in Babylon.

It's going to be another epic Sunday as we continue our study of Daniel! I hope you can join us in-person or on the livestream as we study the Scriptures and consider what the Lord has for us personally out of this next incredible portion of Scripture.

Tomorrow is a big day at church! We'll be taking a moment for Memorial Day to honor those that gave their lives for our country 🇺🇸 + we've got another baptism after service💧 + we'll be returning to the book of Daniel 👑and to one of the most mysterious and exiting topics in the Bible: Angels!

So far in our study of Daniel, we’ve encountered the Angel Gabriel – but in chapter 10 we’ll meet 2 (or maybe 3) more members of the Angelic Host… and get a glimpse behind the curtain into the Spiritual War that is raging all around us. It is rare for God to allow a visible look into the unseen realm – and when He does, the results is always awe and fear and wonder. As we’ll see, Daniel falls to the ground a briefly looses his ability to speak… but the Angels strengthen him and prepare Daniel for the coming vision in chapters 11 and 12. In same ways, chapter 10 is just the prelude to the final prophetic vision of Daniel’s life. However, this “setting the stage” for the final vision is one of our deepest and most fascinating looks into the reality of the spiritual realm and the huge forces that are at work behind the scenes in our world.

Tomorrow we’ll study what the Bible has to say about Angels, about the spiritual realm, and about our personal part in the spiritual war that is unfolding through history.

It's going to be another epic Sunday as we return to our study of Daniel! I hope you can join us in-person or on the livestream as we study the Scriptures and consider what the Lord has for us personally out of this incredible portion of Scripture.

🙏Tomorrow is our all-church Prayer Retreat at Ross point! 🙏

🌻🌺And then this Sunday is Mother's Day! 🌹🪻 It's my experience that this holiday brings out some of the strongest emotions in people: filled with joy or overwhelmed with grief. It's a testimony to how important and impactful the role of 'mother' is.

In honor of mothers, we'll be dedicating the whole service on Sunday to this theme. We'll take some extra time in the service to honor our moms - we've got a rose to give to every mother - and for the sermon we will look at someone in the Bible that you may never have heard of... but who played a critical role in the life of the early church and the spread of the Gospel: Grandma Lois! The Bible tells us that faith "dwelt" with this Godly woman.. and that faith changed the life of her daughter Eunice, her grandson Timothy, and then the whole world. The power of her example still has much to teach us even all these centuries later.

It's Mother's Day - so let's get some wisdom from Grandma Lois - and celebrate and honor the mothers in our lives.

I hope you can join us in-person or on the livestream!

Tomorrow is *part 2* of our study of my all-time favorite prophecy about the coming of Jesus Christ! Even though this prophecy is only 4 verses long, it is densely packed with prophetic meaning. Last Sunday we did a lot of math as we examined the FIRST coming of the Messiah... tomorrow there won't be any more math - but there is more deeply exciting prophecy to understand about the SECOND coming of Jesus!

Like last week, we'll first take the time to really understand this prophecy - and then we'll see the wonderful hope, and the profound call-to-action, that flows out of living in light of Christ's certain return.

It's going to be another epic Sunday! I hope you can join us in-person or on the livestream as we study the Scriptures and consider what the Lord has for us personally out of this incredible portion of Scripture.

Tomorrow we reach one of my all-time favorite prophecies about the coming of Jesus Christ in the whole Bible! Even though this prophecy is only 4 verses long, it is densely packed with prophetic meaning. So dense, in-fact, that we're going to spend the next 2 Sundays on the study of this amazing prophecy. Tomorrow, in part one, we'll look at the first half of the prophecy that deals with the FIRST coming of the Messiah. There is some math involved... but don't be alarmed! Once you understand that basics, it's all easy to follow.
After we've taken the time to really understand this prophecy - we'll discover something even more wonderful than just simple amazement... we'll see the DEEP hope that comes from learning about how totally trustworthy God is. What wonderful news that we can trust the promises of God!

It's going to be another epic Sunday! I hope you can join us in-person or on the livestream as we study the Scriptures and consider what the Lord has for us personally.

This Sunday we continue to our study of the book of Daniel – and we'll begin our study of chapter 9! This chapter contains what is probably my favorite prophecy of Jesus Christ in the whole Bible! It is deeply significant, however, that this vision of the future comes AFTER one of the most incredible prayers of repentance... the Prophet Daniel stands as a timeless role model for how to undertake a serious search for God.

If God seems far away, we can be certain that WE are the one who moved. But how do we find our way back into close fellowship with the King of Kings? Through a close study of Daniel's prayer and his example, we will learn the key elements to this critical task.

It's going to be another epic Sunday! I hope you can join us in-person or on the livestream as we study the Scriptures and consider what the Lord has for us personally out of this incredible portion of Scripture.

The choir is ready - the food is cooking - the debt has been paid... and Sunday is coming! 🌿✝️🐑🌞🪨👑💖
He is Risen! He is risen indeed!

Tomorrow we celebrate the greatest event in human history - the Resurrection of Jesus Christ! Every Sunday is a celebration of the empty tomb - but Easter Sunday is always an extra special time of focus and rejoicing around Christ's triumph over sin and the grave. Please join me in praying diligently for this service... that the Gospel message would go forward powerfully into every life and heart.

✝️ The Tomb is empty! 🪨 Death is defeated! 🌿 He Lives! He Lives! He Lives! 👑

This Sunday we'll gather around the Lord's table to observe Communion.
We'll be dedicating our entire main service (at 10:30am) to this vital observance.
As we study the account of the Last Supper and the Crucifixion of Christ, we'll consider the staggering cost of the Salvation that Christ purchased for us. This is always an enormously special time in the life of our church family, and I hope you'll be able to join us for it.
