“Sweet Spot vs. Sweat Spot”

Many will say we can be anything we want to be. The fact of the matter is that is not true. We can, however, be ALL that God has made us to be. When we walk in alignment to His will, we find our sweet spot.

Worship, Prayer and Teaching on “Sweet Spot vs. Sweat Spot” (Assorted Scriptures) by Pastor Raphael Giglio.



“The Feasts of the Lord”

The beginning of the New Testament is not the Jewish people abandoning their Jewishness, but Jesus fulfilling the promises made to the household of faith. By understanding and celebrating those promises, including the Feasts of the Lord, we can find great richness and joy in Jesus the Messiah.

Worship, Prayer and Teaching on “The Feasts of the Lord” (Assorted Scriptures) by Pastor Raphael Giglio.



“Grow in Grace and Knowledge”

As 2 Peter comes to a close, we are reminded that God views things on a scale we cannot imagine. Because God is eternal, we can grow in His grace and knowledge instead of letting worldly influences carry us away.

Worship, Prayer and Teaching on “Grow in Grace and Knowledge” (2 Peter 3) by Pastor Raphael Giglio.

“Beware and Be Wary”

In the current modern age, we are inundated with destructive heresies from many sources. Peter exhorts us to be vigilant in regard to guarding ourselves from deception, and protecting our flocks from false prophets and teachers.

Worship, Prayer and Teaching on “Beware and Be Wary” (2 Peter 2) by Pastor Raphael Giglio.



“Growing In Grace”

Many Christians feel they are not growing the way they should. Sometimes, it feels like God is apathetic toward our growth. But in 2 Peter 1, Peter makes it clear that God supports us with all we need to live a godly life.

Worship, Prayer and Teaching on “Growing In Grace” (2 Peter 1) by Pastor Brian Higgins.



“Grace To The Humble”

When we humble ourselves and come to God in our time of need, He offers us grace and mercy for whatever our need is.

Worship, Prayer and Teaching on “Grace To The Humble” (1 Peter 5) by Pastor Raphael Giglio.



“From Suffering To Joy”

We often think that the path to joy is avoiding difficulty. But in 1 Peter 4, Peter shows us that our peace and hope can come specifically FROM our sufferings. This is the kind of hope God offers to those who believe.

Worship, Prayer and Teaching on “From Suffering To Joy” (1 Peter 4) by Pastor Raphael Giglio.



“Reason For The Hope”

When a person has a glowing disposition, they often get asked why they are so upbeat. For believers who glow with the hope of God, we will be asked about it, too. Are you prepared to give a reason for the hope that is in you? In today’s teaching, we discuss exactly that.
 
Worship, Prayer and Teaching on “Reason For The Hope” (1 Peter 3) by Pastor Raphael Giglio.

“Shepherd of Our Souls”

What guides you through difficult times? When life gets rocky, what settles your heart and provides you with peace. In today’s chapter, we see how God is a loving shepherd who provides peace that can endure difficulty.
 
Worship, Prayer and Teaching on “Shepherd of Our Souls” (1 Peter 2) by Pastor Raphael Giglio.


“Living Hope”

The difficulties and persecution we face are not a mistake by God or a lack of His ability to protect us. Instead, it serves a great purpose to refine the living hope God has given us.
 
Worship, Prayer and Teaching on “Living Hope” (1 Peter 1) by Pastor Raphael Giglio.


“Repent and Believe”

How exactly does our salvation work? Simply put, we are saved by grace through faith when we repent and believe.
 
Worship, Prayer and Teaching on “Repent and Believe” (Assorted Scriptures) by Pastor Raphael Giglio.


“The END”

The prophecies in Daniel are not only about a future “time of trouble” that will occur at THE END of this “present evil age”, but they are also about God’s people being “delivered” and his kingdom reigning victoriously forever! —which is the greatest news in the Bible!
 
As we see THE END times prophecies come true all around us, let us not fear, but look forward to the glorious hope of His coming. The dark may be getting darker, but the light is getting lighter.
 
Worship, Prayer and Teaching on “The END” (Daniel 12) by Pastor Raphael Giglio.

“History, Prophecy and Perseverance”

One way God proves His ability to us is through prophecy. As we walk through many fulfilled prophecies in Daniel 11, we can find strength and encouragement to remain faithful in difficult times.
 
Worship, Prayer and Teaching on “History, Prophecy and Perseverance” (Daniel 11) by Pastor Matt Friedman.


“Angel Activities”

The Bible makes it clear that spiritual forces are at work all around us. While that might lead some to fear, the power that Jesus makes available to us enables us to walk in confidence and strength.
 
Worship, Prayer and Teaching on “Angel Activities” (Daniel 10) by Pastor Raphael Giglio.


“Secret of the Seventy Sevens”

Daniel contains some of the most powerful and specific prophesies regarding the life of Jesus and His ultimate return. In today’s chapter, we examine some of these core prophesies closely to understand God’s grand timeline and learn how to live while we wait for Him.
 
Worship, Prayer and Teaching on “Secret of the Seventy Sevens” (Daniel 9) by Pastor Raphael Giglio.


“Visions of Kingdoms”

God’s eternal kingdom doesn’t only help us in the future. Learning about the certainty of God’s eternal kingdom can alleviate fear and motivate our faithfulness here and now.

“A Kingdom Worth Trusting”

In a chaotic world, everyone is searching for something to trust. God uses prophesy to assure us that His kingdom is worthy of our trust even while He patiently waits.
 
Worship, Prayer and Teaching on “A Kingdom Worth Trusting” (Daniel 7) by Pastor Brian Higgins.


“What Is Your Lion’s Den?”

God’s faithfulness to others should encourage us to trust in God more. As we study the passage of Daniel being thrown in the lion’s den, it’s not just to celebrate what God did then. These moments of God’s faithfulness in the past should motivate us to trust God in the present, even when things look dangerous or scary.
 
Worship, Prayer and Teaching on “What Is Your Lion’s Den?” (Daniel 6) by Pastor Raphael Giglio.


“God Our Father”

When you imagine your relationship with God, what comes to mind first? Throughout the Bible, the picture God uses is that of Father. In today’s teaching, we explore the love of the Father toward us and see how we can emulate that toward our own families.
 
Worship, Prayer and Teaching on “God Our Father” (Assorted Scriptures) by Pastor Raphael Giglio.


“The Writing On The Wall”

Not every message is easy to share. In Daniel 5, a difficult message needed to be delivered. But with God’s empowering, we become able to share His message with boldness and authority.
 
Worship, Prayer and Teaching on “The Writing On The Wall” (Daniel 5)  by Pastor Raphael Giglio.


“Humbled and Honored”

What would our world look like if every political leader proclaimed humility before God and acknowledged His power? In Daniel 4, one of the most unlikely leaders does exactly that. Today’s teaching highlights the power God has to raise up and humble those He chooses.
 
Worship, Prayer and Teaching on “Humbled and Honored” (Daniel 4)  by Pastor Raphael Giglio.

“With Us”

God never promises that He will prevent difficult circumstances in our lives. Instead, He promises to be with us through them. In Daniel 3, God walks with His people in a miraculous way that can motivate our faithfulness today.
 
Worship, Prayer and Teaching on “With Us” (Daniel 3)  by Pastor Raphael Giglio.


“The Power of Pentecost”

Many Christians walk through life timid, wondering if they lack spiritual gifts or the ability to share God’s word powerfully. In today’s teaching, we celebrate Pentecost and the power now available to us through the pouring out of the Holy Spirit.
 
Worship, Prayer and Teaching on “The Power of Pentecost” (Acts 2)  by Pastor Raphael Giglio.


“Deciphering Dreams”

King Nebuchadnezzar issued an impossible challenge. But where every other effort fell short, the gifting of God was able to meet the need. Today, God offers us the wisdom we need to face the difficulties of life.
 
Worship, Prayer and Teaching on “Deciphering Dreams” (Daniel 2)  by Pastor Raphael Giglio.


“Standing Strong in a Wicked World

What do we do when following Jesus means walking alone? Where will we find strength to stand up for God when we are surrounded by wicked people? The book of Daniel helps answer those questions and much more.
 
Worship, Prayer and Teaching on “Standing Strong in a Wicked World”  by Pastor Raphael Giglio.

“Romans Review”

To wrap up our journey through the book of Romans, today’s teaching gives us Romans in Review. By exploring each chapter’s main theme, the topics of justification by faith, God’s promises to Israel, and living in the power of the Holy Spirit become clear.
