Heaven’s Values, Earth’s Calling Pt. 1: The Doorway Into The Kingdom

In Matthew 5, Jesus gives us 8 blessings for 8 types of people or actions, better known as the Beatitudes or the Sermon on the Mount, but what do they really mean? What does it mean to be poor in spirit, meek, peacemakers, etc.? Jesus gave us 8 promises of 8 different blessings, but how do we receive those blessings? Join Reverend Kenny Yates as he opens our eyes to the true meaning of being poor in spirit in his message, Heaven’s Values, Earth’s Calling Pt. 1: The Doorway Into The Kingdom.

The Doorway Into The Kingdom

God’s Unbroken Promise

3 For I am the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior. I give Egypt as your ransom, Cush and Seba in exchange for you. 4 Because you are precious in my eyes, and honored, and I love you, I give men in return for you, peoples in exchange for your life. 5 Fear not, for I am with you; I will bring your offspring from the east, and from the west I will gather you. 6 I will say to the north, Give up, and to the south, Do not withhold; bring my sons from afar and my daughters from the end of the earth, 7 everyone who is called by my name, whom I created for my glory, whom I formed and made.

Isaiah 43:3-7

35 Thus says the Lord, who gives the sun for light by day and the fixed order of the moon and the stars for light by night, who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar—the Lord of hosts is His name: 36 “If this fixed order departs from before me, declares the Lord, then shall the offspring of Israel cease from being a nation before me forever.”
37 Thus says the Lord: “If the heavens above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth below can be explored, then I will cast off all the offspring of Israel for all that they have done, declares the Lord.”

Replacement or Restoration Pt. 2: The Restoration of Israel_God’s Unbroken Promise

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?

Replacement or Restoration Pt. 1: Was Israel Replaced?

Over the years, we’ve seen a rise in anti-Jewish behavior. As time goes on, we see the church now joining in with replacement theology. So, what exactly is replacement theology? Who are the chosen people of God? And have the Jewish people been replaced by the Church?

Was Israel Replaced?

1 I ask, then, has God rejected his people? By no means! For I myself am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, a member of the tribe of Benjamin. 2 God has not rejected his people whom he foreknew. Do you not know what the Scripture says of Elijah, how he appeals to God against Israel? 3 “Lord, they have killed your prophets, they have demolished your altars, and I alone am left, and they seek my life.” 4 But what is God’s reply to him? “I have kept for myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Baal.” 5 So too at the present time there is a remnant, chosen by grace. 6 But if it is by grace, it is no longer on the basis of works; otherwise grace would no longer be grace.
7 What then? Israel failed to obtain what it was seeking. The elect obtained it, but the rest were hardened, 8 as it is written,
“God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes that would not see
 and ears that would not hear, down to this very day.”
9 And David says,
“Let their table become a snare and a trap, a stumbling block and a retribution for them;
10 let their eyes be darkened so that they cannot see, and bend their backs forever.”
11 So I ask, did they stumble in order that they might fall? By no means! Rather, through their trespass salvation has come to the Gentiles, so as to make Israel jealous. 12 Now if their trespass means riches for the world, and if their failure means riches for the Gentiles, how much more will their full inclusion mean!

Romans 11:1-12

8 He remembers His covenant forever, the word that He commanded, for a thousand generations, 9 the covenant that He made with Abraham, His sworn promise to Isaac, 10 which He confirmed to Jacob as a statute, to Israel as an everlasting covenant, 11 saying, “To you I will give the land of Canaan as your portion for an inheritance.”

Psalms 105:8-11

Let Us Not Grow Weary

This life isn’t easy. The world gets more and more evil with each generation. The Church itself grows weaker and weaker with each generation as well. Why? Because we grow weary. We become spiritually tired and are unable to keep going. We become unable to carry our cross. So, what are we to do? Why should we keep going? What’s the point of all of this? Join Reverend Kenny Yates as he encourages us to keep going in our walk with Christ in his message, Let Us Not Grow Weary.

Let Us Not Grow Weary

6 Let the one who is taught the word share all good things with the one who teaches. 7 Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap. 8 For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life. 9 And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up. 10 So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith.

Galatians 6:6-10

1 Therefore let us leave the elementary doctrine of Christ and go on to maturity, not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God, 2 and of instruction about washings, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment. 3 And this we will do if God permits. 4 For it is impossible, in the case of those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, and have shared in the Holy Spirit, 5 and have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the age to come, 6 and then have fallen away, to restore them again to repentance, since they are crucifying once again the Son of God to their own harm and holding him up to contempt. 7 For land that has drunk the rain that often falls on it, and produces a crop useful to those for whose sake it is cultivated, receives a blessing from God. 8 But if it bears thorns and thistles, it is worthless and near to being cursed, and its end is to be burned.
9 Though we speak in this way, yet in your case, beloved, we feel sure of better things—things that belong to salvation. 10 For God is not unjust so as to overlook your work and the love that you have shown for his name in serving the saints, as you still do. 11 And we desire each one of you to show the same earnestness to have the full assurance of hope until the end, 12 so that you may not be sluggish, but imitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.

Hebrews 6:1-12

Living A Mediocre Christian Life

Today’s Church often prays for revival and a move of God in the same way we read about in the New Testament. We pray for these things, but rarely see them. Why? Has God stopped moving in the Church?

Living A Mediocre Christian Life

15 For this reason, because I have heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love toward all the saints, 16 I do not cease to give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers, 17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of Him, 18 having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to which he has called you, what are the riches of His glorious inheritance in the saints, 19 and what is the immeasurable greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His great might 20 that Hhe worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, 21 far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and above every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come. 22 And He put all things under His feet and gave Him as head over all things to the church, 23 which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all.

Ephesians 1:15-23

11 About this we have much to say, and it is hard to explain, since you have become dull of hearing. 12 For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the basic principles of the oracles of God. You need milk, not solid food, 13 for everyone who lives on milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, since he is a child. 14 But solid food is for the mature, for those who have their powers of discernment trained by constant practice to distinguish good from evil.

Step Into The Water

14 So when the people set out from their tents to pass over the Jordan with the priests bearing the ark of the covenant before the people, 15 and as soon as those bearing the ark had come as far as the Jordan, and the feet of the priests bearing the ark were dipped in the brink of the water (now the Jordan overflows all its banks throughout the time of harvest), 16 the waters coming down from above stood and rose up in a heap very far away, at Adam, the city that is beside Zarethan, and those flowing down toward the Sea of the Arabah, the Salt Sea, were completely cut off. And the people passed over opposite Jericho. 17 Now the priests bearing the ark of the covenant of the Lord stood firmly on dry ground in the midst of the Jordan, and all Israel was passing over on dry ground until all the nation finished passing over the Jordan.

Joshua 3:14-17

8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord. 9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.

The Threat of Atheism

With each generation, the world becomes more and more tolerant of sin and more and more intolerant of righteousness. From childhood, our public school system teaches us that God is not necessary for life to exist. In other words, because we are here, there is no need for a god. That might sound decent until you begin to look at the actual history of godless civilizations. One thing they all have in common is the lack of morality and conscience. So, with the rise in unbelief in the world and the push for a godless society, should we not prepare for the biggest threat our generation has ever seen? Join Reverend Kenny Yates as he opens our eyes to the pressing threat against our freedoms in his message, The Threat of Atheism.

The Rising Threats

The Threat of Atheism

1 Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart from the faith by devoting themselves to deceitful spirits and teachings of demons, 2 through the insincerity of liars whose consciences are seared, 3 who forbid marriage and require abstinence from foods that God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth. 4 For everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving, 5 for it is made holy by the word of God and prayer.

1 Timothy 4:1-5

35 And one of them, a lawyer, asked him a question to test him. 36 “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?” 37 And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. 38 This is the great and first commandment. 39 And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. 40 On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets.”

John 14:5-7

17 For behold, I create new heavens and a new earth, and the former things shall not be remembered or come into mind. 18 But be glad and rejoice forever in that which I create; for behold, I create Jerusalem to be a joy, and her people to be a gladness. 19 I will rejoice in Jerusalem and be glad in my people; no more shall be heard in it the sound of weeping and the cry of distress. 20 No more shall there be in it an infant who lives but a few days, or an old man who does not fill out his days, for the young man shall die a hundred years old, and the sinner a hundred years old shall be accursed.

Denying Christ With Actions

So often, we think of denying Christ as a verbal thing, such as Peter did when Christ was being accused before the High Priest. We rarely ever consider our actions as a way to deny Christ. Why is that? Is it because if we confess with our mouths and believe in our hearts that we obtain salvation, so therefore, the only way to give it up is to do the very opposite of it? To deny with our lips and refuse to believe in our hearts? Join Reverend Kenny Yates as he opens our eyes to how many of us have denied Christ without even realizing it in his sobering message, Denying Christ With Actions.

Denying Christ With Actions

16 They profess to know God, but they deny Him by their works.
They are detestable, disobedient, unfit for any good work.

Titus 1:16

6 Therefore, as you received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, 7 rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving. 8 See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the world, and not according to Christ. 9 For in Him the whole fullness of deity dwells bodily, 10 and you have been filled in Him, who is the head of all rule and authority. 11 In Him also you were circumcised with a circumcision made without hands, by putting off the body of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ, 12 having been buried with Him in baptism, in which you were also raised with Him through faith in the powerful working of God, who raised Him from the dead.

Colossians 2:6-12
