One pretty reliable way to tell if you’re doing God’s will or not is to see how the enemy is responding to your actions. Are there obstacles in your way coming seemingly out of nowhere? Pastor Jeff shows you today that Satan is always trying to oppose God’s plans, and when your personal actions line up with God’s will, that means you are in the enemy’s crosshairs. When the road ahead of you is at its toughest, ask the Lord for help to endure. If you’re following His will, He will grant your request.

When you are seeking the Lord’s guidance for something in your life, you can’t just ask once or twice and give up when He doesn’t answer. You have to be persistent and push and knock on the door until He answers you. Daniel understood this, and he knocked and knocked until he heard from the Lord. He doesn’t do this to be a withholding Father, but instead, Pastor Jeff teaches you today that it teaches perseverance, it teaches you to be persistent in doing the things of God, even when it’s hard.

Biblical prophecy can often be difficult to interpret, but Pastor Jeff shows you today how you can look at prophetic portions of Scripture within the context of the modern age. In the case of Daniel chapter 9, you can see how the Antichrist is going to create a false sense of peace in Israel, and how that faulty treaty will lead to Christ’s return and the establishment of a new Heaven and a new Earth. Don’t be afraid, but take this message as a warning that the time of judgment is drawing closer!

In our world, we are constantly being yanked in every direction on what to believe. It comes from so many sources that oftentimes, it’s easy to make certain lies seem okay. Today in his message, Pastor Jeff wants you to know that the only wisdom worth investing in is the Word of God. Anything of this world will only seek to tear you down as it slowly dies away like everything else. Invest in what matters most: everlasting life in the Kingdom of God. Make your hustle matter and experience your true calling.

It’s common to experience dry spells in our walk with Jesus. Whether it’s a difficult season or just time away from who we know we are through Him, Pastor Jeff wants you to know that you can turn it around today. Instead of sitting on the fence and wasting your valuable time on this earth, commit to the cause of Christ and make a powerful difference in His name. The more lukewarm you are, the further from God’s plan you’ll find yourself. Live out the purpose-driven life that God has divinely prepared for you.

Did you know that stubbornness can be a virtue? Obviously, being stubborn in refusing to do the right thing isn’t what we’re talking about here, but Pastor Jeff shows you in today’s message how the prophet Daniel was in constant prayer to the Lord, asking for guidance and for the Jewish people to be restored to their land. The Lord rewarded his persistence by giving speaking to Daniel, and giving him a timeline for the atonement of sin and the return of the Jews to their home.

Imagine that you receive a bar of pure gold as part of an inheritance. Are you going to display that gold on your bookshelf? No, your wisest option would be to find a safe to lock it up and hide it from someone who may try and steal it. Well, Pastor Jeff teaches you that the words you receive from God should receive the same level of care. The enemy will try and steal the hope that you have from God’s promises, and it is up to you to lock those things away and hold them close to your heart.

Wednesday Nov 13, 2024
Alexander the Great was a fearsome leader who conquered much of the known world after Daniel’s time, and yet Alexander’s life panned out just as Daniel had prophesied. Pastor Jeff teaches you today that even the most fearsome human leaders are still human, subject to human vulnerabilities, and without the presence of God in their lives, will eventually fall from grace and have their work scattered to a crowd of successors. Alexander’s kingdom was split because he couldn’t control his behavior.

Just when the Antichrist is at the peak of his power, and all seems lost for God’s people, the Lord Himself will step in and hold judgment for the living and the dead. Jesus will return and crush the Antichrist, as well as the devil himself. Pastor Jeff encourages you in today’s message, because even when things are at their darkest, God is moving behind the scenes to work everything together for His glory. The enemy and his puppets don’t stand a chance against the power of God Almighty.

One of the signs of the Antichrist’s coming will be the way that he overthrows three kingdoms of the Earth. Pastor Jeff warns you that none of the Earth’s kingdoms will be stable enough to resist his influence when he comes to power. But be encouraged, because you are a citizen of a different kingdom, the Kingdom of God. The enemy may try and wage war against its gates, and may try to strike you down, but you are God’s beloved child. He will strike down the Antichrist in the end.

Sunday Nov 10, 2024
Sunday Nov 10, 2024
Ironically in our society, it’s far more rare for something not to worshipped than worshipped. In other words, moving beyond religious institutions and even gurus, our culture chooses to worship what’s tangible. Whether it’s wealth, a partner, or a job, we prefer to worship what’s right in front of us. In today’s message, Pastor Jeff wants you to know that if you want to invest in wisdom that lasts beyond the grave, give your heart to Jesus. Worship a living, breathing God who wants to usher you into eternity.

In your walk with Jesus, what happens when you fall into bad habits? When you find yourself doing things that you never thought imaginable and feel numb to the pain you're causing, how do you find your way again? In today’s message, Pastor Jeff wants you to know that if you want to dispel sin out of your life and find who you know you are through Jesus, all you need to do is run to His arms. No matter how many times you stray from the flock, Jesus will always be waiting to smother you with His perfect grace.

God’s judgment comes swiftly and silently, without warning. Pastor Jeff teaches you today that judgment can come at any time, and it isn’t wise to say, “I’ll wait until the end times to get right with God”. The end times are already here! Don’t risk your eternity over a few extra years of living for yourself. Take the steps now to give your life over to God, so that you know where you are going when God’s judgment comes due for the world. He will not allow sin to go unpunished forever.

You’re beginning to see how accurate Biblical prophecy can be. The first passage of Daniel chapter 7 lays out a lot of things that would come true after Daniel had passed away. Pastor Jeff wants you to be assured that God knows how the story of Earth ends, and how every single institution, nation, and empire will come down in the last days. The ending is coming nearer every day, and it’s important for you to be right with God before it is too late. Will you serve Him, or will you wait too long and be left out?

When Daniel was saved from the lions’ den, it set an example of how God can rescue you from a dangerous situation. Pastor Jeff reminds you that God’s response may not always be to save you, but He does reward those who are put in danger for deciding to worship Him instead of bowing down to mankind’s demands. Daniel chose to go into the lion’s den not knowing if God was going to save him or not. But he knew the reward on the other side was greater than a thousand lifetimes on Earth.

Do you believe that God can show you favor when you stand up for Him within a pagan culture? The book of Daniel gives several examples of how Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego were given favor by God, and even saved from certain death because they believed in God’s sovereignty rather than caving into the demands of the culture they lived in. Don’t doubt the power of the Lord, He can move on your behalf and open doors that you never would have thought could be opened.

The greatest benefit of studying history is to learn from the mistakes of those who came before you. It gives you the chance to see where people have gone wrong in how they treat other people, political decisions that didn’t produce the desired outcome, or the rise of evil political figures who seemingly came from nowhere. Pastor Jeff teaches you today that studying mistakes of the past can also help you avoid falling into sinful behavior, separating yourself further from your old, godless self.

It’s safe to say that we all have bad habits. Whether they’ve slowly developed over time, or seemingly came out of nowhere, bad habits destroy our lives all the same. Today in his message, Pastor Jeff wants you to know that you don’t need to be a prisoner to your mistakes. Instead of feeling stuck in the muck and mire, let God wash you white as snow. Start the journey of cultivating new habits and replacing the old ones that only tore you down. Grow into the person you’ve always wanted to be through God’s grace.

It doesn’t matter if it’s a musician, celebrity, or even a pastor, we’ve seen all types of people turn their backs on God’s grace. What caused them to fall out of love with Jesus? In today’s message, Pastor Jeff wants you to know that if you want to see your faith flourish and rise above the pain of this world, you need to keep your inner circle centered on Christ. The moment you start to drift into other spheres of influence, the further you’ll from the heart of Jesus. Claim your stake in eternity and be saved.

What are the sacred things in your life that you have misused? Pastor Jeff teaches that the most sacred thing that people misuse is their bodies. When you fail to take care of your body, which is a gift from God, you can become spiritually distant from God. Taking care of your body, and watching what you put into it, is a form of worship to God. It’s a sign that you are a good steward of the gifts you have been given. Belshazzar was a poor steward of his body, and of the Temple vessels his grandfather had taken.

You don’t just owe some part of your life to God, you owe Him everything! The entire world around you is His creation, His dominion. Pastor Jeff teaches that when you fail to give God praise and glory for the glory of His creation, He will not look on you with favor. In fact, that is why Nebuchadnezzar was struck with madness, because he believed that he himself was responsible for the glory of Babylon, instead of realizing that its prosperity and power were signs of God’s favor.

One of the great mysteries of God’s character is that He exists outside of time. He knew how the world was going to end while He was creating it. Everything that has happened in the past, is happening now, and has yet to come, is all known by the Lord from the beginning of time. Pastor Jeff teaches you today that the gift of prophecy gives you a sneak peek into the way God sees all of Creation. When you are fearful of the future, be assured that God isn’t surprised by your struggles or worries.

When it seems like you are facing the worst trial of your life, God may just be moving behind the scenes to set you free. In today’s message, Pastor Jeff shows how God intervened and saved Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego from the fiery furnace, while the ropes that bound them were burned to a crisp. God may not decide to save you from every trial you face, but you can be assured that regardless of the trials you face, your final destination will always be Heaven, in God’s presence forever.

If you’ve been paying attention to the American culture over the last few decades, you’ll see that there has been a shift away from Godly living among most of the population. Now more than ever, there are people who think that being religious at all is a sign of hatred. Pastor Jeff reminds you today that your struggle isn’t against flesh and blood, and that your rescue won’t come from any man. Only God can rescue you from the culture that opposes you, His presence is your safe haven from the struggle.

In your walk with Jesus, have you surrounded yourself with a body of believers? Have you made an effort to make sure your friends are walking in His ways? In today’s message, Pastor Jeff wants you to know that if you want to see yourself mature into the person that God wants you to be, you need to start listening to the right influences. As harmless as some of the world’s wisdom may seem, it’ll serve to slowly and painfully ruin your life. Remain committed to the only thing that will last: eternity with Jesus.

Have you ever felt hindered by the Lord? Have you ever felt like God is ruining your plans instead of the other way around? Today, Pastor Jeff shows you that if you want to experience growth like never before and be a new creation like you desire to be, let God wreck you with His plans. The moment you choose His plans for your life is the moment that your life begins to bear fruit again. Don’t dwell in your mediocrity and make an impact for God’s kingdom. Sacrifice yourself to Jesus, just as He did for you.

If you watch how people act in public, you can usually tell what they worship. If someone’s attitude is always about getting money or hitting a new personal best at the gym, you’ll see the fruit of that worship in how they treat others. Pastor Jeff reminds you today that false gods aren’t the only idols that you may worship in your life. Money, political power, and even the pursuit of popularity in Christian culture can all become idols if they overshadow your worship of God. He deserves all your praise.

Do you wish you knew more about how God is going to resolve the world’s problems? Wouldn’t it be easier to go through life knowing how everything is going to pan out? Well, Pastor Jeff reminds you today that it’s not your job to know how and when things are happening. In fact, only God has the full picture of what is going on in the world. Your job, as difficult as it may seem, is to rest in the promises God has given you and have faith that everything will come to pass just as He said it would.

Is the God you serve a real God or a figment of your imagination? You’d better figure that out while you still have time because Pastor Jeff reminds you that every other god besides the one true God is a false one, and they will leave you high and dry when you need them the most. Instead, look at the example of Daniel, who had been given the power to interpret King Nebuchadnezzar’s dream by the God of Israel. His faith in God set him apart from all of the king’s mystics and gave him the ability to gain a position of privilege in the king’s court.

Standing up for what is right may not be an easy task. It’s like trying to swim upstream in a river, it feels like the whole world is trying to push you in the opposite direction. But Pastor Jeff encourages you today to stay the course. If you are really standing for the truth, God will be with you, and He will bless you even more down the road. Daniel and his friends gave up rich food and good wine to be obedient to God, and they were blessed with favor by the head eunuch of King Nebuchadnezzar.

King Nebuchadnezzar was a wise, if evil, ruler. He knew that the way to truly conquer the nation of Israel was not just to take their land, but to squeeze out their culture by forcing them to assimilate into the pagan Babylonian society. Pastor Jeff shows you today how Nebuchadnezzar’s plan was to turn the young Jewish prodigies into his own servants and use those servants to influence the Jewish people. However, those young men were faithful to God and foiled the Babylonian king’s plan.
