Asst. Pastor Melvin GainesWorship Service Message (Live in Church - Alternate Message)Sunday, July 19, 2026Paul makes the case to the Romans that he truly loves the Israelites and desires for them to experience the salvation of Jesus. If only they would just believe in Him. Paul declares that their desire to live according to the law is insufficient, and now that Jesus has come, their attention should go directly to Him. He is the fulfillment of the law. Salvation in Jesus means believing in Him in your heart and confessing with your mouth that He is Lord.

Asst. Pastor Melvin GainesWorship Service Message (Live in Church)Sunday, May 24, 2026Here is exactly what you need to do as servants for Jesus Christ--come out of your shell. Coming out of your shell means being a disciple. Being an evangelist. You are less likely to keep to yourself; in fact, you are compelled, in your relationship with Jesus, to share the good news and live with empathy to reach the lost.#image #Jesus #Christ #investigate #scripture #meditate #act #grow #endure #persevere #shell #idiom #relationship #evangelize #disciple
Asst. Pastor Melvin GainesWorship Service Message - Sunday, November 23, 2025Today, we're talking about gratitude. Being kind to one another. Expressing warm welcomes and friendly greetings. Turning those frowns upside down. (Yes, this is getting very cheesy, and I'm glad to do it!) There are a lot of reasons to be thankful, and an important reason is Jesus Christ.

Asst. Pastor Melvin GainesWorship Service Message - Sunday, August 24, 2025We will be looking at Paul's epistle of the Philippian church. The church at Philippi is worth our attention because of the makeup of the church and how they were co-laborers with him as contenders in the faith.

Asst. Pastor Melvin GainesWorship Service Message - Sunday, August 17, 2025We're going to camp out in John Chapter 3 and focus on not just one truth pertaining to the gospel, but two truths that require equal attention for the person who desires to have fellowship with Jesus Christ.These two truths are declarations in the Word of God and they are absolutes. My prayer is that everyone within the sound of my voice takes these truths and weighs them out for their own consumption in making a conclusion.

Asst. Pastor Melvin GainesWorship Service Message for Sunday, April 27, 2025We will have occasions to share about Jesus and the gospel with our own family members. For some of you, that may be a hard stop because of what you have had to go through in your efforts to just live as a believer in Jesus in the family. I get it. You may be the only believer in sight. But that doesn't matter when you hold it up against the Word of God. We are still to be the lights in a world of darkness. We are still called to be ready to share the gospel at a moment's notice.

Asst. Pastor Melvin GainesFriday, April 18, 2025This communication with the Father was done with the understanding that it would be done according to His will and that there was no other way for Jesus to complete His mission than to do exactly what He proceeded to do. The matter was settled, and Jesus moved forward with resolve to complete His mission. His action of obedience to the Father is tantamount to his eventual victory at Calvary.#goodfriday #jesus #mission #passion #father #prayer

Asst. Pastor Melvin GainesMessage for Sunday, September 15, 2024The Spirit gives life based upon our faith in Jesus as Lord. We are part of His new creation! Without Jesus and His atonement, we are already dead in our trespasses. The presence of the Holy Spirit provides the fuel of life to our otherwise dead bodies. We have life because of what Jesus did for us on the cross. He is our fuel for life!#fuel #life #Jesus #Spirit #faith

Asst. Pastor Melvin GainesWorship Service Message - Sunday, August 25, 2024The Christian Diet is a healthy diet that consists of the believer taking in healthy portions of God's Word on a daily basis as reliance on the Holy Spirit provides wisdom and understanding. These are the "nutrients" necessary for growth and maturity in Jesus Christ.
