July 19, 2026 (Evening Service) ~ THE STAND THAT CHANGED A NATION ~ Alora Rose Lawyer
During the summer and fall at our church, we hold what we love to call PRAISE, PRAY, & PREACH meetings on the third Sunday of the month. Each of these meetings features one of your young people that God is helping us prepare for the next generation of ministry and church leadership. Alora Rose Lawyer is a second-year student at FAITH BIBLE COLLEGE in Charleston, Maine, and we have been blessed to watch her grow up, be delivered through some turbulent years as a teen, and now we see the Hand of God on her in a very special way. She is beautiful, bright, and on fire for Christ. Her message this month was both powerful and inspiring, and we thought it important enough to feature on this podcast, which is normally reserved for our pastoral staff's preaching. Great message from a young lady that God is going to use powerfully.

July 12, 2026 ~ LET GOD ARISE, THE COURT OF HEAVEN - Pastor Bryan Gantt
Quite possibly one of the most impactful messages ever preached from the pulpit at Agape Christian Fellowship. Continuing in his series, "Let God Arise," Pastor Bryan delivers a master class in making our case before God - praying God's Word back to Him. This is a great message to share with friends and family. Taken from Isaiah 43:25-26, (“I, I am he who blots out your transgressions for my own sake, and I will not remember your sins. Put me in remembrance; let us argue together; set forth your case, that you may be proved right.") Pastor Bryan brings us into the courtroom of the judge of all and shows us how God Himself has taught us to pray, to make our argument, to put God in remembrance of His own word. Powerful Stuff.
June 28, 2026 ~ LET GOD ARISE! ~ Pastor Bryan Gantt
Pastor began a brand new series with a powerful message this morning from Psalm 68 - LET GOD ARISE! This powerful word kicks off a series that continues with the chosen theme of 2026, "Activating Heaven." Each time the Hebrew people began a new leg of their journey through the wilderness, the Ark of the Covenant would pass through the people as Moses shouted, "Let God arise! Let His enemies be scattered!" You don't want to miss this message, or any message in the entire series.
June 21, 2026 ~ The Story of Bill ~ Pastor Michael Gantt
A powerful anointing from God accompanied our Father's Day Service. The worship was a blessing to share. It was a blessing to see all of our men gathered at the altar with godly women standing behind them, praying for them. Pastor Michael had a great message prepared, but was led to share his heart about the challenges of fatherhood in this generation and the call of God upon Husbands and Fathers. He began with a true story that touched many hearts... "The Story of Bill."

May 31, 2026 - THE POWER OF HIS PRESENCE - Pastor Michael Gantt
"God spoke to me, and this is what He said, 'Son, I know what you want. I know everything you need. But right now, I want you to understand what I need." Have you ever thought about it? What does God want from you: good works, kind acts, gentle speech, mercy towards those who need it? What is it that God really wants from his people? Pastor Michael breaks down this discussion with some powerful revelations from the scriptures in The Power of His Presence.

April 26, 2026 ~ LOOKING FOR LIFE IN A GRAVEYARD ~ Pastor Michael Gantt
The audio of this podcast isn't up to our usual standards due to ongoing issues we're working through. However, we have "cleaned it up" as best we can, because we believe Pastor Gantt's message this morning is an important one and we believe that many will be blessed by it - even with less than desirable audio quality.
How many of us are looking for life in places where there is no life? Don't miss it. Don't fail to share it.
April 12, 2026 ~ SIMPLE THINGS ~ Pastor Bryan Gantt
Teaching from 1 Corinthians 1, Pastor Bryan brings another powerful message, reminding us through Paul's writings that God uses the simple, the weak, and that which appears to be "less" to do mighty works.

April 5, 2026 (Resurrection Day) - THE VICTOR - Pastor Bryan Gantt

March 22, 2026 ~ THREE WITNESSES ~ Pastor Michael Gantt
As we move into the spring of the year, we are also approaching the observation and celebration of the great work of redemption completed by the Lord Jesus in the work of atonement. In a bit of dramatic fashion, Pastor Michael takes us in our imaginations into the trial taking place at the Great White Throne Judgment. In this message, we learn that though we are all convicted sinners, with no excuses to be offered to escape, we do have an advocate - a lawyer, if you will, who stands in our stead before judgment. Though the evidence of our guilt is great and irrefutable, Three Witnesses stand in our defense; three witnesses that provide all the testimony needed to deliver us from the wrath of God.
March 15, 2026 ~ Powerful Words of Praise ~ Pastor Bryan Gantt
In a sequel to last week's message, THE POWER OF PRAISE, Pastor Bryan gives us a biblical vocabulary lesson in this message where he outlines the various words used in the Bible to describe Praise and Worship. Praise is not just music or singing. Praise is the outward expression of something that is going on inwardly. Using our voice, our instruments, our talents, our whole body and being, we are to be living expressions of worship. We think you'll enjoy this excellent message.

April 27, 2025 ~ Psalm 23 - Part 1 ~ Pastor Michael Gantt
Pastor Michael Gantt begins digging in for a deeper look to Psalm 23, the Shepherd's Psalm. Sometimes certain passages of Scripture can become so familiar that we lose the ability to, or motivation, to dig deeper. Psalm 23 while being one of the best known scriptures by believers and unbelievers alike, is a treasure trove of deep spiritual truth. Pastor focuses primarily on the introduction to the Psalm, "The Lord is My Shepherd" in this message.
April 20, 2025 ~ Empty Promises ~ Pastor Bryan Gantt
Pastor Bryan led the congregation in a very innovative order of worship this Resurrection Day, filled with music, children's activities, worship, and a powerful message. Much of the music and extra activities were edited out for this pod cast in the interest of time - but the various "blocks" of Pastor's message are here for your edification. Don't let the title deceive you, and listen carefully to "EMPTY PROMISES."
April 13, 2025 ~ Palm Sunday 2025 ~ Pastor Bryan Gantt
We talk a lot about the "passion" of Christ on the Sunday that begins Holy Week. It is possible that we don't really think deeply about the awful price Jesus paid for our sins, the true depth of His passion as he suffered through those final days leading up to His ultimate death on the cross . . . our vicar, or substitute. In this message, Pastor Bryan endeavors to lead us in a deeper level of meditation on Jesus suffering and death.
March 30, 2025 - WINNING THE INSIDE WAR - Pastor Michael Gantt
Pastor Michael was away for Saturday teaching at a Legacy and Leadership Seminar and on the way back home, the spirit of God spoke very clearly about this morning's message, Winning the Inside War.

Great stuff from the Word.

Pastor Bryan never lets the Jewish feast of PURIM pass without handing out noise makers and other celebratory items to rehearse the story of Esther, Mordecai, and the Evil Haman to remind us of the sovereign care of our God.

February 16, 2025 - STAND - Pastor Michael Gantt
In this message, STAND - Pastor Michael brings to a close his three part series: DEALING WITH DEMONS. He provides powerful truths from the 6th chapter of Ephesians regarding our armor and weaponry for spiritual warfare in an increasingly "evil day." We didn't have in person service because of a strong snow event, but thanks to available technology, most of our people were able to take in this message on line. Take a while to take this in. Follow along in your Bible. Take notes for there is valuable truth in this message.
February 9, 2025 - DEALING WITH DEMONS - Pastor Michael Gantt
Following up on his message from last week, "The Authority of Our King," Pastor Michael shares an important word to the congregation in his message DEALING WITH DEMONS. Our church has been challenged in 2025 to become a greater Fruit Bearing body and like the keeper of a vineyard has to deal with the various pests - worms and bugs - that seek to devour his harvest, we must deal with the presence and activity of the demonic in our vineyard in order to reap a grand harvest. This is a very informative and practical message.
February 2, 2025 - THE AUTHORITY OF OUR KING - Pastor Michael Gantt
Pastor Michael brings a timely word from the book of Matthew in this message dealing with recognizing and dealing with the works of demonic forces in the world today. It is a powerful message that challenges us to recognize the activity of the demonic in our culture today and the authority given to us by the Lord Jesus to deal with those activities. Please note that the audio is a little "off" in this message as we were meeting in a alternate venue because of the church heating system was down. The sound is clear, but a bit "echoie"
January 19, 2025 ~ Bearing Fruit - Part 3 ~ Pastor Bryan Gantt

December 29, 2024 - I'll Do It Tomorrow - Pastor Michael Gantt
Pastor Michael is continuing in his verse by verse, concept by concept study of the Gospel of Matthew (The Book of the King) - with a look at the story of the Scribe who wanted to follow Jesus and another disciple who claimed his desire to follow Jesus wherever He might go. (Matthew 8:10-27) Jesus warns them that it is an uncomfortable life, and inconvenient life, filled with storms they are aspiring to. There is room neither for delay nor comfort in following Him.
December 15, 2024 - A Royal Lineage - Pastor Michael Gantt
Pastor Michael stays consistent with his current studies in the book of Matthew (The Book of the King) as he demonstrates the importance of those long lists of names and begats. Yet, we learn much more than who begat who - we learn why and to what purpose. The only genealogy in the Bible that names women and gentiles as part of the royal legacy of Jesus, a legacy that is ultimately bequeathed to all who will believe in Him.
December 22, 2024 - BELIEVE GOD FOR THE IMPOSSIBLE - Pastor Bryan Gantt
Mary and Joseph were called upon by God to believe Him for the impossible. Imagine trying to wrap their heads around what the angel of the Lord had told them and yet . . . the Lord did exactly what He promised He would do and as a result - we can be called the sons of God.
December 8, 2024 - EXPOSED - Pastor Bryan Gantt
The apostle Paul declares, "Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them." [Ephesians 5:11]

Hang on - this word hurts, but in obedience to the Scriptures, Pastor Bryan exposes the wickedness of this present generation.
September 29, 2024 ~ The Joshua Generation ~ Pastor Bryan Gantt

September 1, 2024 - REFLECTIONS ON LIFE AND DEATH - Pastor Bryan Gantt
Pastor Bryan delivers a powerful message this morning that focuses with great clarity the contrast between the Kingdom of God and the Kingdom of Darkness and the fact that our God is the creator and sustainer of life and the thief comes only to steal, kill, and destroy. Powerful contrast.

In the third set of his three-part series on the early part of Jesus' ministry from Matthew 3 and 4, Pastor Michael declares that we must stop "waiting" on Heaven and realize that the Kingdom of Heaven has already come . . . or so declared Jesus in Matthew.

The books of Mark, Luke, and John will follow in the next three weeks.
June 16, 2024 - TRUE PENTECOST - Pastor Bryan Gantt
Because we celebrate Good Friday and Resurrection Day in conjunction with the Biblical Calendar, we celebrated considerably later than the rest of the church in the West. Of course, that means that we also celebrate the Day of Pentecost later in the year as well.
This was Pentecost Sunday for Agape and Pastor Bryan brought a great message on the origination and prophetic implications of the Feast of Pentecost (Shavuot). You'll be both instructed and inspired by this message.
June 9, 2024 - Epicenter - Pastor Michael Gantt

Burdened of heart with the challenges of the hour recently, Pastor Michael lay down on his bed to sleep. As he was drifting off to sleep, he saw a vision of a great eagle perched high upon a mountain cliff. As he watched this king of the air sit, turning only his head from time to time . . . the Spirit of God spoke only a single word: "Wait."
This message represents a journey of encouragement and challenge that took place over night and the next few days as the Lord led Pastor through a series of scriptures -- each of which bore a single message: "Wait for the wind."
May 19, 2024 - Treasure from a Well - Pastor Michael Gantt
Pastor Michael leads us to the well of Jacob once more in this message from John 4. Last time, we met a Samaritan woman who gets a drink of living water from the Well of Life and is forever changes.

April 7, 2024 - What is Behind the Mask? - Pastor Bryan Gantt
We had to postpone our celebration of Purim because of weather but today, Pastor Bryan did not disappoint.

This message is a continuation of Pastor's teaching on prayer. You'll be blessed.
March 17, 2024 - WARNINGS FROM JUDE - Pastor Michael Gantt
The Book of Jude in the New Testament has one chapter of 25 verses. Last week, Pastor Gantt preached his entire message from the first verse of the book in a message entitled Wisdom from Jude. This week, he finished the final 24 verses in a message entitled WARNINGS FROM JUDE. Heed Jude's warning for it is as applicable today as it was then when he says, "certain people have crept in unnoticed who long ago were designated for this condemnation, ungodly people, who pervert the grace of our God into sensuality and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ."
Today's message is a warning to the body of Christ to be aware of false teachers and a warning to false teachers about the judgment of God that awaits them.
March 10, 2024 - Wisdom from Jude - Pastor Michael Gantt
Pastor Michael Gantt set out to preach a message from the 25 verses of the Book of Jude but got stuck on the amazing promises found in the first verse of the book. Jude addressed his letter to those who are "called by God, sanctified by God, and preserved in Jesus Christ." That's as far as we got because of the depth of the rich truth found in this first verse of a little book tucked way in the back of the New Testament.
March 3, 2024 - REMINDING GOD - Pastor Bryan Gantt
Pastor Bryan Gantt has been doing a series of teachings on each communion Sunday regarding the importance and ministry of prayer. In this message we are reminded that God challenges us to "put him in remembrance of what he has said." Bold prayers put God's word to the test.
February 25, 2024 - BIG GOD - Pastor Bryan Gantt
How big is your God? That is the question Pastor Bryan asks in this message. Is He big enough to make the sun stand still? Is your God big enough to hold back the waters of the sea, or big enough to cause the blind to see. Is your God big enough to speak to the troubles that come your way? How big is your God.
February 25, 2024 - RECEIVE THE HOLY SPIRIT - Pastor Michael Gantt

February 18, 2024 - Can You? Can't You? Won't You - Pastor Bryan Gantt
Just one verse from Philippians 4:13. Just 11 words - "I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength." Pastor Bryan brings a powerful challenge to the body of Christ. Tune in. Zero in on the truth - share it with someone else.
February 11, 2024 - Guard the Spring - Pastor Bryan Gantt
The great sin of the Israelites was turning to other Gods . . . of falling into idolatry . . . of adapting to the godless cultures around them. Not much has changed as so often the church has fallen prey to the temptation to "adapt" ourselves to the culture around us. Pastor Bryan brings a powerful message that warns us against falling into the same trap the ancient Hebrews did - the trap of syncretism.
February 4, 2024 ~ THE LORD'S PRAYER ~ Pastor Bryan Gantt

January 21, 2024 - THE ZEAL OF THE LORD - Pastor Michael Gantt
Prophesying the coming Messiah, Isaiah declares that Yeshua Jesus will wear zeal like a cloak. He will wrap himself in the zeal of the Lord. The prophet Jeremiah declared that the word of God is like a fire in his bones. The Lord declares, "The zeal of my Father's House has consumed me." Our goal is to pursue the work of the Holy Spirit to shake the church out of its apathy and clothe us with the Zeal of the Lord.
January 7, 2024 ~ THE GREATEST EVANGELIST ~ Pastor Michael Gantt
Pastor Michael tells us right up front that the name of this message "The Greatest Evangelist" is a trap to get our attention. The heart of the message is to "live our lives in view of eternity." We get so wrapped up in THIS life that we forget that everything here is temporary and the only things that matter are the things that count for eternity. This is a challenging message that ought to change the way we live our lives.
January 7, 2023 - THE BLESSING IN THE WRESTLING - Pastor Bryan Gantt
And Jacob said, "I will not let you go until you bless me." Pastor Bryan brings a powerful word on the value in our lives of "wrestling with God." Remember that Jacob wrestled with the Angel of the Lord throughout the night, even incurring some injury. Yet at daybreak, his name was changed from Jacob to Israel and through his lineage - all the nations of the earth were blessed.

We guarantee you, you've never seen anything like what God saw on that night. It was peaceful in Bethlehem, but there was war in Heaven. Share this message with those you love.
December 10, 2021 - THEY WERE AMAZED! - Pastor Michael Gantt
The shepherds heard it first! Sleeping in the darkness of the desert sky, lowly shepherds were awakened by the sounds of angelic wings and rapturous choruses about the birth of a Savior! They weren't kings, or governors, or captains of industry - they were shepherds and they heard the news first. And they were amazed. Do you still "wonder" at the thought of God coming to ordinary people from all walks of life; from the lowest of the low to the highest of the high, He pitched His tent with us in the midst of broken humanity. The shepherds were amazed. Are you?
September 10, 2023 - THE LAST TRUMPET - Pastor Bryan Gantt
This message was preached on Yom Teruah or The Feast of Trumpets and in today's message Pastor Bryan focuses on The Last Trumpet. In this powerful message, we are reminded that the consummation of the plan of God and the establishment of God's eternal Kingdom with King Jesus on the Throne of the Nations may be just around the corner.
September 3, 2023 ~ A BETTER COVENANT ~ Pastor Michael Gantt
Preaching from the Book of Hebrews, Pastor Michael unfolds powerful truths from chapter 10:19-25. Jesus is the better way - - a better sacrifice, a better tabernacle, a better covenant, a better covenant. We have unhindered access to the Father because the most holy place - the presence of God - has been opened to us through the sacrifice of Jesus.

There are voices in the church today that are declaring, falsely, that Christians no longer need to repent as they rob believers of one of the sweetest gifts we have. We can go to our Father and confess our sins and know that He will faithfully forgive us of every one. Listen to this powerful message and share it with someone.
August 13, 2023 - "Homothumadon" - Pastor Michael Gantt delivers and impassioned plea to the church to come into the same kind of unity that was found in Acts 2:1 when the Holy Spirit came upon a group of 120 persons who were fully in agreement; one heart, one passion, one purpose. He declares that the Holy Spirit did not bring this unity - that oneness summoned His arrival.
July 16, 2023 - THE CURSE OF BABYLON - Pastor Michael Gantt
Men are living with an identity that God did not give them - with a Name that God did not give them - even a "gender" that God did not give them....our nation is living under the curse of territorial spirits - principalities and powers - the same as ruled over Babylon in the day of Daniel and his three friends, Hananiah, Azariah, and Mishael. In what may be one of the most important sermons of his life, Pastor Michael speaks directly to a generation that has been thrown into confusion by the enemy of our souls.
June 11, 2023 - OVERCOMING FEAR - Pastor Bryan Gantt

May 28, 2023 - Pentecost - Pastor M. Bryan Gantt
Pastor Bryan brings into focus some powerful teachings concerning the Day of Pentecost, or in Hebrew, Hag Shavuot. The initiation of Hag Shavuot was on the occasion of the giving of the law to Moses on Mt. Sinai. Shavuot was the reason Jerusalem was filled with pilgrims when the Holy Spirit came to establish the church. There are amazing parallels and foreshadowing in the Scriptures concerning this festival, commonly known as the "Festival of the Weeks."
May 21, 2023 - The Sower Went Forth To Sow - Pastor Michael Gantt
Pastor Michael Gantt shares some very simple and intimate truths from Luke 8 with the congregation at Agape.

May 14, 2023 - LIVING IN HIS PRESENCE - Pastor Michael Gantt
Often, when we experience a dynamic service or powerful move of God we are like Peter on the mount of transfiguration. We want to camp out in this aura of God's imminent presence. We would go to meetings every day if we could experience that presence. However, it is not sufficient to simply go to meetings where we can experience God's presence. We need to LIVE in that presence on a day to day basis. We are not called to live in spiritual meetings, but to live in the midst of a dying world, bearing the image of Christ and walking in the anointing - - on a day to day basis. Preaching from Acts chapter Five, Pastor Michael exhorts us to seek to "live in His Presence."

Only time will tell - but Pastor brings a good word as we look into the immediate future here in Brattleboro.
April 23, 2023 - THE GOD OF ELIJAH - Pastor M. Bryan Gantt

April 17, 2023 - ONE POWERFUL WORD - Pastor Michael Gantt
There are almost 800, 000 words in the Bible. In this morning's message Pastor Michael Gantt focuses our attention on a single one of those words.

He can. . . and I believe He will."

Pastor Michael brings a power, prophetic message in this message reminding us that we are not persecuted because we are religious, but because we proclaim the power of the Name of Jesus and the authority of the Word of God.

June 26, 2022 - TRUTH AND TESTIMONY - Pastor Michael Gantt
Psalm 78 says, "I have established a testimony in Jacob and appointed a law in Israel...."

April 10, 2022, PALM SUNDAY - A BIBLICAL WORLD VISION - Pastor Michael Gantt preaching at the Newport Church of God in Newport, VT
Many folks believe they have a Biblical World View, but their worldview is indeed worldly with a few scriptures verses sprinkled in.

January 23, 2022 - LITTLE WHITE SPOTS - Pastor Bryan Gantt
The church lost our furnace this week so we were not able to conduct an in person worship service. Sooooo, Pastors Bryan and Michael Gantt bundled up, fired up the video system and conducted an online worship service which is streamed live on Facebook, YouTube, and Twitch platforms. This podcast contains the audio file from that service. LITTLE WHITE SPOTS will not let you get away without confronting those corrupted spots that show up in all of our lives. Be blessed, be challenged, and be encouraged.
January 23, 2022 - THE INVISIBLE CHURCH - Pastor Michael Gantt
There are two churches in the world today - just two - There is the Visible Church. That's the one you can see. It has a building or buildings, members, and projects and programs. Contained within the Visible Church is the Invisible Church, or the mystical Body of Christ. While the Visible Church has within it, members of the mystical Body of Christ - or the invisible church, the Invisible Church is comprised ONLY of those individuals who have truly been transformed by the blood of Jesus Christ, who have been washed and cleansed by His blood from their sins and whose names have been written down in the Lamb's Book of Life. The question Pastor presses for in this message is simple: To which church do YOU belong?
January 16, 2022 - THIS RACE WE ARE RUNNING - Pastor Michael Gantt
Pastor Michael draws as strong analogy from the book of Hebrews (Chapters 11 & 12) concerning our Christian life and the runners in a race.

January 9, 2022 - ASK, PERSISTENTLY - Pastor Michael Gantt
Pastor Michael Gantt presents an impassioned plea for us to pursue revival by persistently seeking God, by asking, and asking, and asking. The unjust judge gave a widow justice so she would no longer trouble him - she persisted in her pleas. Jesus says, "How much more will your Father who is kind, and good, and just give you what you ask for?" If we want to see a move of God - one of the things we are going to have to do is get serious about seeking God. What the church needs, what our nation needs will only come from the Throne of God.
January 2, 2022 - AN ENCOUNTER WITH JESUS - Pastor Bryan Gantt
Pastor introduces us to a new year with a powerful message about three men who had an "encounter" with the Living Lord that changed their lives forever. How important it is for each of us to have a fresh encounter with the Lord.

October 2, 2021 - BURDEN BEARERS - Pastor Michael K. Gantt
Pastor Michael brings a timley message from Galatians 6 expounding upon Paul's plea to the church at Galatia (and to us) to "bear one another's burdens." There are burdens that are ours and ours alone to bear, there are burdens that are too great to bear alone, and there are burdens that are too great for us to carry even together - those burden's we cast upon the Lord. Great teaching from the apostle Paul. (There is a definite electrical "hum" over the audio of this file - we have discerned the problem and hope to have it rectified by next week - however it is not terribly distracting from the timeless truths of this passage.)
September 19, 2021 - FROM SONS TO HEIRS - Pastor Michael K Gantt
Jesus said to Nicodemus, "Unless a man is born again, he cannot see the Kingdom of God." Wonderful truth that Jesus came, incarnate in human flesh to wash us in His blood and breathe upon us with His Holy Spirit that we might be Born Again - adopted into the Family of God! We are born as spiritual infants, but our Father's purpose is to grow us into the image of His Son, Huios - a mature son (daughter) ready to walk into his inheritance!

August 22, 2021 - FAITHFUL - Pastor Bryan Gantt
Last week, drawing from Luke 15 and the story of the prodigal son, Pastor Bryan shared with us about a young man named "Grateful." It was the story of brokenness, rebellion, great sorrow and ultimate redemption. This week, from the same scriptures we learn about his brother - "Faithful." Great truths from a timeless parable.
August 15, 2021 - GRATEFUL - Pastor Bryan Gantt
Pastor Bryan brings an interesting take on the story of the Prodigal Son (actually part one of two). The question we are confronted with is simple: Are we grateful to our Father for his many blessings or are we far more interested in his hand than in his face.
August 8 - COULD YOU STAND IN THE GAP FOR THOSE WHO HATE YOU? - Pastor Michael Gantt completes his three part series "Could You? with this challenging question: "Could you stand in the gap (intercede) for those who hate you?" Can you pray for your enemies? Can you ask God to bless those who have cursed you? Jesus did; and He expects us to do as He did. In our own strength we cannot do such a thing, but we can "do all things through Christ who gives us strength."
August 8, 2021 - COULD YOU STAND IN THE GAP FOR THOSE WHO HATE YOU? (Part 3 of 3) - Pastor Michael Gantt
Pastor Michael continues a three part series entitled COULD YOU? with this final message: COULD YOU STAND IN THE GAP FOR THOSE WHO HATE YOUR? As we look at an increasing hostility from the culture toward the church and Christ followers, the possibility of persecution becomes a probability.

But we have been given the ministry of intercession and this message the question: will we be willing to intercede for the very ones who hate us?
August 1, 2021 - COULD YOU STAND WHILE EVERYONE ELSE BOWS? (Part 2 of 3) - Pastor Michael Gantt.
Pastor Michael continues a three part series entitled COULD YOU? with this message: COULD YOU STAND WHILE EVERYONE ELSE BOWS?. As we look at an increasing hostility from the culture toward the church and Christ followers, the possibility of persecution becomes a probability. Pastor doesn't see this as a thing to be feared, but it is a thing to be faced. Would you be able to stand, all by yourself, while everyone bows down before the idols of this world?
July 25, 2021- COULD YOU SING FROM PRISON? - Pastor Michael Gantt
Pastor Michael begins a three part series entitled COULD YOU? with this message: COULD YOU SING FROM PRISON. As we look at an increasing hostility from the culture toward the church and Christ followers, the possibility of persecution becomes a probability. Pastor doesn't see this as a thing to be feared, but it is a thing to be faced. Would you be able to sing with Paul and Silas from the depths of a prison?
July 4, 2021 - THE SIN OF SILENCE - Pastor M. Bryan Gantt
Pastor brings a powerful, convicting message to the church here - We face dark days with enemies menacing on all sides. We can not do as some in the past have done - remain silent - while evil covers our land. Let us not be guilty of the sin of silence.
