    Have you ever pondered the profound truth that creation itself was spoken into existence by the very Word of God? In his latest sermon, Pastor Nick ushers us into a deeper understanding of this miraculous act, focusing on the crucial opening verses of John’s Gospel. Here, we discover that Jesus, the Word, predates creation and was integral to its very existence, shining light into darkness—a light that cannot be overcome. Pastor Nick compellingly illustrates how the entirety of Scripture points to Jesus, emphasizing that our lives are enriched by recognizing Him as the center of everything. As he shares heartfelt personal experiences, including moments of prayer for those struggling to embrace this truth, we are called to confront our own darkness and how it impacts our eternity. Ultimately, Pastor Nick inspires each of us to actively engage in sharing this life-giving light with the world around us. So today, let us reflect on our own responses to Jesus, allowing His Spirit to work within us, and commit to pursuing holiness while inviting others into the transformative light of Christ. Don’t wait; reach out and be a beacon of hope!

    S3 Ep89: Prophets for Profit$--Leading People to HELL!
    Jul 27 2025
    Have you ever thought about how easy it can be to stray from God's path, even if we start with good intentions? In this sermon, Pastor Nick dives deep into the story of Balaam from the Biblical book called "Numbers", illustrating how a so-called prophet prioritizing profit led to significant consequences for God’s people. Balaam, caught between divine instruction and the lure of monetary gain, unwittingly became a stumbling block for the Israelites, leading them into idol worship and immorality. With a vivid retelling, Pastor Nick emphasizes the importance of recognizing God’s sovereignty and heeding His call to holiness. This message is a call to reflect on our own lives—are we, like Balaam, justifying compromises that lead us away from God’s will? The pastor passionately connects this ancient story to modern realities, urging the church to stand firm in holiness amidst societal pressures. Don't miss this powerful call to action—join us to explore how we can uphold the integrity of our faith to be beacons of light in a dark world. Watch or listen to the full sermon today and let your heart be changed!
