The Lord had miraculously and faithfully proven His Personal provision to Israel, but after the Red Sea, they started to complain and doubt Him. When the Amalekites attacked them, Moses relied on God's power to give them victory, utilizing the support of others. When Israel won because of the Lord's help, Moses built an altar called "The Lord is my…

After miraculously surviving what should have been a fatal car accident in his teens, Jamie Tuinstra shares how it the experience was unexpectedly repeated 30 years later when his nephew endured a similar accident. In both cases, the goodness and mercy of God was on full display, changing perspectives and giving a deeper sense of gratitude to the L…

For centuries, Judah had been defiant toward God, even though He had made Himself known to them and given them His Law--a situation that is very similar to the world in 2024. Knowing that we need righteousness but can't secure it, God chose to show mercy and become our righteousness through Jesus Christ. In response, it is vital that we consecrate …

This next election is pivotal for how fast things will move towards a one world government and towards absolute evil in every sector of society. There is a lot a stake such as censorship, open borders, false religions, AI control, less freedom, and rampant sexual immorality. Let's look at how Ester faced her decision to stand for the truth and appl…

Boundaries are crucial for us to prevent sin, set limits, and take responsibility for our own behavior. In this message, we learn from Joseph's example who dealt with Potiphar's wife's sexual advances how to set and maintain proper boundaries to protect ourselves from sin.โดย Brandon Holthaus

In Genesis, Abraham was called away from his home and family and certainty to obey God, simply trusting in God's Word and leading. He was confident in God as El Shaddai, the Lord God Almighty, Who is All-Sufficient. This 3 meaning of this Name all provide a beautiful picture of the God Who gives life, is our comfort and strength, our safety, and su…

When God met Moses at the burning bush, and Moses asked Who was sending Him to Egypt, God called Himself "I AM". This indicated that He is the essence of all existence, and the Only God, Who is over everyone and all things. This Name--THE Name of God--is YHWH, which we pronounce Yehova, and is so sacred that the Jews won't say or write it. In a tim…

When the Pharisees brought a woman who had sinned to Jesus to try to trap Him into being either too lenient or too harsh, He put the focus back on their own hypocrisy. But He didn't overlook the woman's sin, because like all of us, she was guilty. He showed He's willing to forgive and cleanse us, while also calling us to stop sinning. His mercy als…

Paul's letter to the Ephesians teaches powerful truths: That we are only saved through Christ, Who then gives us full access to the Father and makes us part of HIs "house". He calls us to build up our personal temple, and for the Church to be strong in Him. So we have to look at the current state of our spiritual house, assess Who and what we are u…

Resisting the Corruption of the Established Order - Part 2 | Genesis 38:1-30โดย Brandon Holthaus

Just like the prophet Jeremiah, we live in a time when truth is opposed and altered. For him, it was false prophets who convinced the people that his message from the Lord was false, and that they wouldn't face discipline for their calloused rebellion. For us, we have to resist the narcissistic thinking that God should tolerate sin and do everythin…

Resisting the Corruption of the Established Order | Genesis 38:1-30โดย Brandon Holthaus

To help us evaluate the genuineness of our faith and relationship with the Lord, He gives us a distinctive contrast in Jeremiah 17 regarding the source of our trust. Those who trust in mankind and themselves--the lie culture gives us--not only ultimately fail, but they are cursed because pride and man's plans are unstable and futile. But trusting i…

Because the enemy is constantly trying to breed instability in our lives, it is vital we develop consistent, foundational pillars to help offset that. Being faithful and dependable is undervalued in our culture, but spiritually, it is vital for our faith and is blessed by the Lord. When we are confident in our Biblical convictions, it prevents comp…

It is a remarkable concept that the God of the universe, Who we offended with our sin, would even think about us, let alone "long to be gracious" to us and "wait to have compassion" on us. But that's the reality of HIs mercy. And it should cause us to long for Him, not just because there is no one and nothing that compares to Him, but because He pr…

When Paul wrote to the Philippians, he urged them to have a nonconformist mindset by looking at Jesus' example of humility and sacrifice. He summed it all up in one phrase: "For me, to live is Christ". When the purpose of our lives as believers is to have Him at the center, it will be unmistakably obvious to those around us and they will be drawn t…

When a woman with a rough past came and worshipped Jesus in a unique way, some were appalled, but Jesus commended her for her sacrifice. Her actions reflected Paul's words in Philippians 3, when he described all his personal and spiritual accomplishments as rubbish compared to knowing Christ. Keeping an acute awareness of what Jesus has done for us…

Knowing we need wisdom more than anything, we still have important needs in our life. In the case of Bartimaeus, a blind beggar in Jericho, it was to receive his sight. But his desperate cry to Jesus for mercy reveals that he recognized Jesus first as Messiah, and also that he was asking with bold, active faith. The fact that Jesus stopped and help…

Sermon Audio Overcoming Resentment Genesis 37;1-11โดย Brandon Holthaus

Money, relationships, jobs, health--they all cause stress and worry. But the Bible tells us that the answer is not more resources or relief from these issues--it is wisdom...which is a full understanding of God's heart, commands and leading. That seems odd because wisdom isn't tangible, but the Lord promises it will bring security, confidence and p…
