When we sin we have a choice to make. Will we admit our mistake and confess it to God, or try to sweep it under the rug and pretend like everything is ok? Today on Study the Word we’ll contrast two very different responses to sin in the lives of David and Saul. It’ll prove to be very helpful then next time we blow it. We’ll be in First and Second Samuel for the most part. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1457/29

Proverbs 16:18 says, “Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.” There’s no doubt about it, pride destroys lives, and we certainly see that in the life of Saul. But it also destroys ministries, and so we need to be on guard. Today pastor Thom will share some signs to be on the lookout for, which will help us spot pride when it rears its ugly head. We’re in First Samuel 16-18. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1457/29

As believers in Christ we have a very real enemy, who opposes the work of God and the people of God. At times you might feel like you’re losing the battle. While the struggle is real, we can experience victory through the power and authority of God.

With that said, the world’s view has taken hold like never before. How do we respond? We’ll get some answers today on Study The Word with pastor Thom Keller. And we’ll find those answers in Philippians chapter two. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1457/29

We’re developing a disciplemaker series. As we’re becoming a disciple or making disciples, you can be sure we’ll be opposed by the enemy. Satan is very powerful, far more powerful than any of us. But greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world! With God as our defender, we really have nothing to fear and all the reason in the world to trust in the Lord.

You’ve probably heard this counsel from a friend, “Just follow your heart!” But Jeremiah 17 tells us the heart is deceitful above all things! The fact of the matter is, we can easily be lead astray if we just follow our heart. So we need the Word of God to help guide us. Pastor Thom Keller will explain here on Study the Word as we get back into our Disciplemaker series. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1457/29

Heart disease is a growing problem in the United States, and as we get older we look for strategies to help keep our heart healthy. Whether it be exercise or eating right!

You can see it in the decisions he made. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1457/29

Today we get back into our discipleship series with pastor Thom Keller. God calls people to ministry, but He also prepares them for ministry too.
