First Amendment Rights or God-Given Rights? Are our First Amendment Rights merely constitutional, or are they biblical? When it comes to our citizenship, many see America as the greatest citizenry to which one can belong. As believers, however, we first belong to God, and this world is not our home―we have a higher standard given to us in the Word of God. In this message, Frank Figueroa will uncover what the Bible says concerning the Freedom of Speech and Religion. He will also address whether or not they are God-ordained principles in the believer's life. Reasons for Hope exists to direct people to the Biblical Jesus by offering HOPE* H elping Christians share the Gospel of Jesus Christ. O ffsetting secular thinking with Biblical truth.

The Right to Life Pastor Tim will shares what the Bible says about protection of the unborn, care for widows and orphans, and supporting families.
Is the Second Amendment Constitutional Only or also Biblical? In America, we are very much in favor of preserving our constitutional rights, but believers should be more consumed with upholding God’s commands in His Word, which are higher than our nation's laws. What does the Bible say, if anything, about the right to bear arms and to use them to protect ourselves? A little more than one would think. Join Frank Figueroa as he takes you through the Scriptures and teaches about the Second Amendment from God’s perspective―what it is and isn’t. You will then be able to discern if it is something God expects us to support.
