Pastor Dennis Adams — "By Faith" — Hebrews 11:1

05/31/2026

Faith is the substance of the life of a believer in Christ Jesus. Jesus came to give us life and that life more abundantly! Our hope is in Jesus and the promises of the Father. We are filled with His love, and His grace has rewritten our lives. His mercy can be defined as His compassion and commitment to our lives, which we live to be with Him in heaven for all eternity.

We have the promises of God in our hearts, and they are “Yes’ and “Amen” to all who call upon His name! God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit live in us and direct us daily in our lives as we seek to please Him.

As believers and sons and daughters of the Lord our God, we seek to do His will and to worship Him daily by our words, actions, and inner thoughts. As each day is given to us, we have the opportunity to share His love and to seek Him in prayer and through our worship! The comfort of the Holy Spirit brings the depth of peace we need to have as we sojourn through life. The joy we have is noticed by the world as we share His grace and exemplify His mercy through our actions and words.

Hope is our shield against a society that often turns from the Lord. Our faith is strong, and we encourage one another to live a life that radiates HIs love and grace. The love of the Lord conquers discouragement and uplifts each of us in such a way that we find hope in the midst of life’s trials and moments of uncertainty.

His Word declares to us freedom and victory as we press toward the high calling of the Lord in our lives. The Word of God declares that we are the temple of the Holy Spirit, and we are no longer our own, but we are His children. His love covers us, and the comfort we need is given to us by the presence of the Holy Spirit in us, to guide us through the substance of faith as we press toward the high calling of the Lord!

Pastor Kathy Adams: Bible Teacher — "Acts 2 - The Holy Spirit Comes at Pentecost."

Special Guest Speaker: Pastor Raymond Alvarez.

Jesus came to this earth to provide forgiveness for our sins and hope for our future with Him in heaven. The Father in heaven gave His Only Begotten Son to pay the debt of sin which came upon Adams and Eve in the Garden of Eden. They both know what an endless being, sinless, was like and the joy of the presence of the Lord. The beauty that was witnessed before sin came upon them cannot be described in a statement or even a thought. God’s plan for humanity was changed by and through temptation.

Jesus was born to a virgin and lived a life of purity and never sinned. His heart was set upon the Lord God, and Jesus lived to bring freedom to our lives through His death and resurrection. The hope we have now and throughout history is a gift that cannot be treated as some moment of compassion. This gift of Salvation came through Jesus and His ability to take upon His shoulders the sin of the world. Freedom was gifted to mankind by the actions of Jesus.

The enemy of our souls tried over and over again to tempt Jesus to sin and cause the sacrifice to have no meaning or effect upon humanity. Jesus never fell to temptation, nor did the many mocking words of the religious world cause a failure in the heart of Jesus to refuse to give in to temptation, or ridicule by the religious rulers.

By the strength of the Holy Spirit and trust in the Father, Jesus bought our freedom with His life and courage, along with His resurrection, His mercy shown, and His bravery in overcoming such pain and suffering, so that we would be gifted with saving Grace. Grace has deep reference ot our lives here on this earth and our eternal future in heaven.

The love of God, which surpasses all understanding, and the power of the presence of the Holy Spirit strengthen us and bring deep courage into our hearts, knowing our experience in heaven will be worshipping God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit for eternity.

Great is the Lord and greatly to be praised for His love and promises are Yes and Amen to all who call upon His name to be saved.

Pastor Kathy Adams: Bible Teacher — "Matthew 25 - The Olivet Discourse. Part 2"

Pastor Dennis Adams — "The King of Glory" — Mark 8:27-30

Life is given to us as a gift! As we live out each day, there are always decisions to make. Our decisions often reflect the state of our hearts and can cause joy or sadness. The importance of life is to live it out with each day starting fresh and being thankful for all that you have in the Lord.

As we read the Bible, we see so clearly God’s love for His creation and His blessings upon us and this world. His love is perfect, and we are not. His mercy has rewritten our lives, and the joy of the Lord is where we find our strength. Clearly, each day we make choices and hope that the choice we make will be pleasing to the Lord and to those we come in contact with.

We must make the right decisions from our hearts so we can sense God's peace. Many challenges seem to counter our thought patterns, and often, that peace is disrupted by a lack of wisdom and by the fact that our thoughts are driven by emotions.

His love for us is pure, and His foundation of truth can provide a platform that contains the source value of our words and emotions. Words are powerful, and the emotions they create can be long-lasting. Which, when pondered on, we often desire to back up and restate the words that have already impressed others or embrace our own hearts in a way that can bless or not bless. For these reasons, we must think before we speak so that our words will be instructive and full of love, just as the Bible comforts us and leads us into a good place with a solid foundation!

The wisdom we gain from reading the Word of God, taking time to pray, and waiting on the Lord will always give us the hope we need and the sure foundation on which to stand. With Jesus, we will always stand upon the truth and have the hope and security we need to live out our days with reassurance and comfort given to us through the presence of the Holy Spirit. Take time to pray each day and trust in the Lord. He will never leave you nor forsake you!

Pastor Kathy Adams: Bible Teacher — "Matthew 24 - Jesus Speaking on the Last Days."

Pastor Dennis Adams — "Don't You Know" — 1 Corinthians 6:19-20

05/03/2026

The Church is the representation of the Lord here on this earth. We are the Lord’s sons and daughters in the faith of Christ Jesus. He came to the earth to bring us Salvation and deliverance from sin and rebellion. His mercy and His grace are the gifts that bring us to the presence of the Lord. The love of God, which surpasses all understanding, covers us and fills us with the presence of His Holy Spirit.

The guidance we receive from the Holy Spirit leads us down the road of life with confidence and fills our hearts with faith and freedom from bo***ge. Often in this life, we are challenged by fear and doubt in our relationship with the Lord because the enemy of our souls tempts and accuses us, discouraging us and making us feel unworthy of the grace and mercy we have received.

In one respect, there is a basis for this distraction and the false statements we hear. The Holy Spirit covers us with His love and protects us from the devil's wiles. We are born again and forgiven of all our sins by the shed blood of Jesus as He suffered on Calvary’s Cross. He paid the price for the sins of the world and promised to all who would call on His name to be saved that they would receive salvation and the knowledge of the Holy Spirit’s presence.

Grace is unmerited favor, and Mercy is the Lord’s commitment and compassion to our hearts, and Jesus took upon Himself the weightiness of the world's sin and by the shedding of His sinless blood and defeating death by rising alive forevermore in the bodily Resurrection. The Lord Jesus took upon Himself the world’s rebellion and open prideful character of humanity, which expresses sin in our hearts, as we did not have any deliverance through works lest we would boast.

His love and compassion and willingness to suffer on the Cross and die knowing that He also would conquer death and share that victory with all who come to Him with Godly sorrow and humility, asking for forgiveness for how each of us was conceived in iniquity and born in iniquity — His love and sacrifice and defeating death by returning alive forevermore is a gift to all who will ask the Lord for forgiveness.

This life we lead in modern times is fast-paced. Pressure on all sides of life, and the cost of living, change daily. We must be restful in our daily lives, at rest, and find time to pray and rest in the Lord’s presence. His love comforts us, and His Word guides us daily as we face the challenges that often come our way that we did not plan or manifest on our own. The cost of this is that we become weary and are often tempted to give up trying to do better in life. Settling for less instead of gaining what we have hoped for.

Life is designed by the Lord, and with the Fall in the Garden of Eden, we saw a drastic change in how life would be portrayed. As we read the Bible, we note how the Lord removed Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden and allowed them to live alongside the rest of humanity. The purity of the Garden of Eden was tarnished by falling to temptation, and the presence of an Angel sealed the gate to the Garden.

The Lord God, our Father, promised the presence of Jesus who would come and crush the head of the serpent, but His heel would be bruised (Ref, to Genesis 3:15). Yes, that happened! Jesus came to pay the price for the sins committed and gave us a Savior who bore the pain and anguish that Jesus did, so that we would be saved from our sins and washed by His precious blood.

Thanks be to the Lord our God that He gave His Only Begotten Son, Jesus, to die such a horrific death, which He also gave up on Calvary’s cross. God’s mercy was portrayed through Jesus, and the healing was given to all who would ask for forgiveness, with Godly sorrow. We are saved by grace, compassion, and mercy, as Jesus was resurrected from the tomb alive forevermore.

Thank you, Lord, for giving us your grace and your mercy and a heart of repentance, in which our sorrow was felt.
