Pastor Lowell looks at Mark 1:12-13 “Tested in the Wilderness“ on 7/13/2025 for our Sunday Service.

Mark 1:12 -13

12 Immediately the Spirit drove Him into the wilderness.

13 He was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted by Satan, and was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered to Him.

Mark has used the three witnesses. 1) Prophecy: The scripture. The validation of the Past. 2) John the Baptist: The Messenger. The validation of the Present. 3) The Trinity. The validation of all future ministry of Jesus to prove the veracity and authority of what Mark declared in Mark 1:1 the invitation to the Gospel ( The Good News) of Jesus Christ the son of God.

After the identity and saving ministry of Jesus is stated and validated by the three witnesses, immediately, His identity and ministry is tested by Satan in the wilderness for forty days.

Join us as Deacon Tim Mortag shares a message from Psalm 91 "My Refuge and My Fortress" on 7/9/2025 for our Wednesday night service.

1 He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High

Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

2 I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress;

My God, in Him I will trust.”

3 Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler

And from the perilous pestilence.

4 He shall cover you with His feathers,

And under His wings you shall take refuge;

His truth shall be your shield and buckler.

5 You shall not be afraid of the terror by night,

Nor of the arrow that flies by day,

6 Nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness,

Nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday.

7 A thousand may fall at your side,

And ten thousand at your right hand;

But it shall not come near you.

8 Only with your eyes shall you look,

And see the reward of the wicked.

9 Because you have made the Lord, who is my refuge,

Even the Most High, your dwelling place,

10 No evil shall befall you,

Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling;

11 For He shall give His angels charge over you,

To keep you in all your ways.

12 In their hands they shall bear you up,

Lest you dash your foot against a stone.

13 You shall tread upon the lion and the cobra,

The young lion and the serpent you shall trample underfoot.

14 “Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him;

I will set him on high, because he has known My name.

15 He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him;

I will be with him in trouble;

I will deliver him and honor him.

16 With long life I will satisfy him,

And show him My salvation.”

Join us as we welcome Pastor Robert Nettles as he shares a message from 2 Chronicles 16: 7-12 "Rely on the Lord" on 7/6/2025 for our Sunday service.

2 Chronicles 16:7-12

Asa's Last Years

7 And at that time Hanani the seer came to Asa king of Judah, and said to him: "Because you have relied on the king of Syria, and have not relied on the LORD your God, therefore the army of the king of Syria has escaped from your hand. 8 "Were the Ethiopians and the Lubim not a huge army with very many chariots and horsemen? Yet, because you relied on the LORD, He delivered them into your hand. 9 "For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him. In this you have done foolishly; therefore from now on you shall have wars." 10 Then Asa was angry with the seer, and put him in prison, for he was enraged at him because of this. And Asa oppressed some of the people at that time.

11 Note that the acts of Asa, first and last, are indeed written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel. 12 And in the thirty-ninth year of his reign, Asa became diseased in his feet, and his malady was severe; yet in his disease he did not seek the LORD, but the physicians.
