Ray Bentley

When Jesus returns, pastor Ray Bentley says his mission and purpose will be different than that of his first coming. Jesus came the first time as a lamb to die on the cross to pay for our sins. But he said, I'm coming again. And he said, when I come again, I'm not coming as a lamb anymore. I am coming as the lion of the tribe of Judah. And I think when he comes, he's ready to roar, and he wants to roar through his lambs.

Pastor Ray Bentley says, we serve a king who transcends time and who surpasses all earthly powers. Past, present, and future. How many of you could even mention or name to me the ten most well-known prominent Roman concerts? I mean, the only thing that we know Caesar for today is that a nice salad was named after him. But the name of Jesus is known all over the world

There are dozens of ways to share our faith and hundreds of excuses why we often don't. Pastor Ray Bentley says, Share Christ. It's that simple. There's a lot of talk today about the culture wars we're losing, the culture wars. But nowhere in the Bible did Jesus say, go win the culture and you will win men. Jesus said, when men and then their culture and their world turned upside down, we'll follow. Jesus said, follow me.

Life can be hard. There's no doubt about it. But pastor Ray Bentley says we need to take courage. That the Lord is always with us through our trials. Know this God never intended for you or I to live life on our own power. That's why he sent Jesus Christ. No matter what happens outwardly, our circumstantially, I can begin to taste of the pure waters of heaven. No matter what my circumstances may be.

How do we impact our culture for Jesus Christ? Pastor Ray Bentley says, sometimes you just have to make some noise. As Dr. Campbell Morgan has said, organized Christianity that fails to make a disturbance is death. So Paul and Silas made a disturbance at midnight. Paul and Silas prayed and sang praises unto God, and the prisoners heard them spread.
