Even In The Darkest of Times
Jesus promises that those who mourn will be comforted. Jesus promised this to all who mourn, but what does it actually mean to mourn? Does mourning have more than one meaning in Scripture? And when we mourn, when will we be comforted? Join Reverend Kenny Yates as he opens our eyes to the Truth behind Jesus’ promises in his message, Heaven’s Values, Earth’s Calling Pt. 2: Blessed Are Those Who Mourn.
There’s a new belief sweeping the nation that the Jewish people in Israel aren’t the true Jews. Many use bible verses and claim this has been prophesied in Scripture, but is that true? Has the identity of the true Jews been stolen from them and given to another people? What does the Bible say about the identity of the Jews and the ownership of the land of Israel. Join Reverend Kenny Yates as he opens our eyes to prophecies of Israel in his message, Replacement or Restoration Pt. 2: The Restoration of Israel_God’s Unbroken Promise.
Each and every generation gets one step closer to the return of Christ Jesus. And with each generation, the return of Christ seems to be seen differently. Why is that? Is there more to the return of Christ than we originally thought? Join Reverend Kenny Yates as he opens our eyes to a deeper meaning of Jesus, our blessed hope, in his message, Jesus The Messiah Pt. 2: Jesus, Our Blessed Hope.
In life, we all have ups and downs. Life is filled with both good and bad. There’s no way to avoid the bad; it comes with the good. Most people will define this as life having hills and valleys. In other words, you’re either in the good or in the bad, but is this what God says? What does the Bible say about life? Join Rev. Kenny Yates as he opens our eyes to life works in his message, When Life Happens Pt. 2: Life’s Railroad Tracks.
Each and every Christian on earth has some form of trial. Each one of us is tested, but why? Are we tested and facing trials because we’ve made mistakes, or are these God-ordained? How can the enemy attack the people of God? Join Reverend Kenny Yates as he explains the purpose of trial in his message, When Life Happens Pt. 1: Welcome To The Crucible.
Christmas used to be a simple time of remembering and celebrating the birth of Christ. There were a few gifts given, but the presents never seemed to outshine the true reason for the season. But it seems with every generation, Christmas becomes more and more commercialized and less about the birth of Christ. So, what should Christians do for Christmas, should they boycott the holiday entirely, or is there another way? Join Reverend Kenny Yates as he opens our eyes to the importance of Christians celebrating Christmas in his Christmas Sunday message, The Quest For Christmas Pt. 4: A Christian’s Christmas Quest.
Every Christmas season we talk about the shepherds, the wise men, Mary and Joseph, but rarely do we talk about Simeon and Anna. These two seem to be missed most Christmases, but their stories are very important. Why? Join Reverend Kenny Yates as he parallels our day and age with the days of the birth of Jesus in his Christmas message, The Quest For Christmas Pt. 3: Simeon & Anna’s Christmas Quest.
As time goes on, our world has become darker and darker. Each generation believes they will be the last, but is it possible that we will be the final generation before the Good LORD returns? From the spiritual battles of our time and the rise of worldwide challenges to faith, what can we do? Join Reverend Kenny Yates as he unpacks the prophetic warnings throughout Scripture in his message, World Under Attack Pt. 12: The End of the End.
5 And the beast was given a mouth uttering haughty and blasphemous words, and it was allowed to exercise authority for forty-two months. 6 It opened its mouth to utter blasphemies against God, blaspheming his name and his dwelling, that is, those who dwell in heaven. 7 Also it was allowed to make war on the saints and to conquer them. And authority was given it over every tribe and people and language and nation, 8 and all who dwell on earth will worship it, everyone whose name has not been written before the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb who was slain. 9 If anyone has an ear, let him hear.
Revelation 13:5-9
Many people chase after money, fame, fortune, influence, power, etc. Because of this, the Devil is able to obtain what he truly desires, the souls of those who dwell on earth. People who are slaves to all of the temporary treasures of this world that he offers. The Devil seeks out spiritual slaves, this we know, but are there still physical slaves today in our world? And if there are, are there can’t be many, can there? Join Reverend Kenny Yates as he sheds some light on the true evils of this world in his message, World Under Attack Pt. 11: Souls For Sale.
9 And the kings of the earth, who committed sexual immorality and lived in luxury with her, will weep and wail over her when they see the smoke of her burning. 10 They will stand far off, in fear of her torment, and say, “Alas! Alas! You great city, you mighty city, Babylon! For in a single hour your judgment has come.” 11 And the merchants of the earth weep and mourn for her, since no one buys their cargo anymore, 12 cargo of gold, silver, jewels, pearls, fine linen, purple cloth, silk, scarlet cloth, all kinds of scented wood, all kinds of articles of ivory, all kinds of articles of costly wood, bronze, iron and marble, 13 cinnamon, spice, incense, myrrh, frankincense, wine, oil, fine flour, wheat, cattle and sheep, horses and chariots, and slaves, that is, human souls.
Revelation 18:9-13
Once a year, many Christians celebrate the holiday Halloween. Many churches have Trunk or Treats as an outreach program aiming to usher in new members. Even though the Church is the Bride of Christ, so many still participate in a day that seems to be nothing but darkness. Their claim for why it’s not a big deal? Because the Devil doesn’t own any days and the Holy Spirit doesn’t take days off; therefore, allowing your child to dress up in harmless costumes and go from door to door collecting candy from friends and neighbors is nothing but a tradition passed down from generation to generation. But what if there’s something more sinister happening in the spiritual realm that we can’t see with our naked eye? Join Reverend Kenny Yates as he opens our eyes to the spiritual tactics of the enemies in his message, World Under Attack Pt. 10: Partaking From Two Tables.
14 Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry. 15 I speak as to sensible people; judge for yourselves what I say. 16 The cup of blessing that we bless, is it not a participation in the blood of Christ? The bread that we break, is it not a participation in the body of Christ? 17 Because there is one bread, we who are many are one body, for we all partake of the one bread. 18 Consider the people of Israel: are not those who eat the sacrifices participants in the altar? 19 What do I imply then? That food offered to idols is anything, or that an idol is anything? 20 No, I imply that what pagans sacrifice they offer to demons and not to God. I do not want you to be participants with demons. 21 You cannot drink the cup of the LORD and the cup of demons. You cannot partake of the table of the LORD and the table of demons. 22 Shall we provoke the LORD to jealousy? Are we stronger than He?
1 Corinthians 10:14-22
