Even In The Darkest of Times
Each day we wake up with breath in our lungs is a gift from God. How we spend each day will determine how we will spend eternity. Our actions directly dictate our future. Many believe that they’ll have the time and put off salvation, but the Scriptures tell us that tomorrow is promised to no one. Join Reverend Kenny Yates as he opens our eyes to how close eternity is to each and every one of us in his message, Standing On Eternity’s Doorstep.
Three of the most overused words in our culture today are “I love you,” not because the words aren’t necessary, but because they no longer hold any meaning. We don’t know what love is, not true love. We don’t even know how to define love, nor can we identify it when we see it. Join Reverend Kenny Yates as he opens our eyes to the true definition of love in his Valentine’s Day message, An Acceptable Kind of Love.
Throughout the book of Ecclesiastes, there is a recurring theme, “all is vanity.” This theme, on the surface, seems very discouraging. It makes it sound as if life is pointless and that we live without meaning, but is that what King Solomon meant? Join Reverend Kenny Yates as he opens our eyes to the true meaning of this statement in his message, Eternity Crashing In.
So many of us struggle to make time for God. God is usually a last priority. Work, school, family, entertainment, socialization, etc. all take priority over God in the majority of Christians’ lives. Many cling to this statement, “God just wants me to be happy,” but is that true? Is this life just about our carnal happiness or is there a deeper meaning to our lives? Join Reverend Kenny Yates as he opens our eyes to the importance of building the Temple of God in his message, Bags With Holes.
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.
One thing we all agree on is, “in the beginning,” after this phrase, we begin to go our separate ways. Some believe that God created Heaven and Earth. Some believe that there was an ancient war that destroyed and corrupted the earth before God created light. While others believe that God created nothing and we evolved from apes. Now, even though each of these realms of thought is different, they have one thing in common: they all believe in a beginning. Therefore, there has to be something special about the beginning that not even the Devil can erase. Join Reverend Kenny Yates as he opens our eyes to the original model God had for our lives in his message, In The Beginning.
There are many days to come that are prophesied throughout Scripture. Days of tribulation and days of rejoicing. Days of oppression and days of freedom, but many people believe that there are only good days to come for the Church because we’ve already been redeemed. But is that true? Do we, the Church, get to escape the coming woes on the earth because of our salvation? Join Reverend Kenny Yates as he prepares us for the coming perilous times in his message, The Days of Sorrow.
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
Today, the Church and the world are both plagued with mental health issues, from anxiety to depression to suicidal thoughts. The entire earth seems to be under attack, but what are we to do? Is there a way to have freedom from this oppression plaguing the world and the Church? Join Reverend Kenny Yates as he opens our eyes to the intense spiritual battle overtaking our nations, peoples, and cultures in his message, A Spiritual War.
10 Finally, be strong in the LORD and in the strength of His might. 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. 13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm. 14 Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15 and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace. 16 In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one; 17 and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, 18 praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end, keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints,
Ephesians 6:10-18
