Even In The Darkest of Times
Jesus told a large group that if they wanted to inherit the Kingdom of God, they would have to eat His flesh and drink His blood. This teaching was so difficult for them to accept that many of His own followers abandoned Him. So, what did Jesus mean when He told them they had to eat His flesh and drink His blood? Join Reverend Kenny Yates as he opens our eyes to the symbolism and the importance of Communion in his message, The Bread of Life.
Every year many Christians dress up and go out trick’or’treating. Many churches even host a Trunk’or’Treat where they get their entire church involved in this event. All in the name of fun and discipleship. But if you have to be the world to the world in order to attract the world, are you still discipling? Winning souls? Spreading the Gospel? Join Reverend Kenny Yates as he opens our eyes to the darkness we welcome in this time of year in his message, Even The Appearance of Evil.
With each generation the world seemingly gets darker and darker. Running farther and farther away from God as fast as humanly possible. Yet if we pause and look around, we’ll notice that our generations are doing nothing new, we’ve just reclaimed the old and put our own spin on it. What does that mean? Join Reverend Kenny Yates as he opens our eyes to the Truth of King Solomon’s statement, “There is nothing new under the sun,” in his message, The New Indulgences.
In a time that feels quite hopeless and unreal, what should Christians do? What is our next move? Sometimes, we have to pause for a moment and wait upon the LORD. We have to renew our strength. We have to prepare. And most importantly we have to seek the LORD for guidance and then listen for an answer. Join Reverend Kenny Yates as he opens our eyes to the importance of patience, faith, and trust in his message, Waiting For The LORD.
When we think of the Beatitudes, we often think about the meek, the peacemakers, and the poor in spirit. Rarely do we think about the persecuted. See, when we begin to acknowledge the expected persecution of the Church, it becomes uncomfortable for many, so we like to pretend persecution isn’t for us, but someone else. But what does the Bible say? What did Jesus say? Join Reverend Kenny Yates as he goes through the last of the Beatitudes in his sobering message, Heaven’s Values, Earth’s Calling Pt. 8: Blessed Are The Persecuted.
In our world today there is much unrest. Peace has truly been taken from the earth, so what exactly are we called to do? Be peacemakers. How? How are we to be peacemakers? Join Reverend Kenny Yates as he continues this journey through the Beatitudes in his message, Heaven’s Values, Earth’s Calling Pt. 7: Blessed Are The Peacemakers.
Jesus tells us ‘blessed are the pure in heart,’ but what exactly does that mean? Who are the pure in heart? How does someone obtain a pure heart? Join Reverend Kenny Yates as he opens our eyes to the true meaning of a pure heart in his message, Heaven’s Values, Earth’s Calling Pt. 6: Blessed Are The Pure In Heart.
God tells us that He will have mercy on whom He will have mercy. That statement sounds almost ominous. Almost as if there are people the LORD will refuse to have mercy own, yet He promises mercy to the merciful. How can these two both be true? Join Reverend Kenny Yates as he continues opening our eyes to the true meaning of the Beatitudes in his message, Heaven’s Values, Earth’s Calling Pt. 5: Blessed Are The Merciful.
We Christians have a unique message of mercy, grace, and forgiveness. Unlike any other religion, our God sacrificed Himself for us. But do we water down the rest of the Gospel in order to push these three things? Have we missed the mark as Christians? Do we truly know what it means to be a Christian? Join Reverend Kenny Yates as he opens our eyes to call of Christians in his message, Heaven’s Values, Earth’s Calling Pt. 4: Blessed Are Those Who Hunger And Thirst.
Jesus tells His disciples that the meek shall inherit the earth. Many people believe that being meek means to be weak, but is that truly what Jesus was telling His disciples? Was Jesus telling the Church to be weak? Join Reverend Kenny Yates as he opens our eyes to the deeper meaning of meek in his message, Heaven’s Values, Earth’s Calling Pt. 2: Blessed Are The Meek.
