Immanuel, God with us, prophesied hundreds of years before the birth of Christ was the virgin birth.

As we get close to the end of Revelation, we find the glorious promise and description of our heavenly home.
In this portion of Scripture we see God's concerns for stumbling blocks and His mission to save that which is lost. This is illustrated in the parable of the lost sheep.
In our heavenly home, the new Jerusalem, there will also be a new garden with a a river of water of life and the tree of life. Life from the garden of eden is now restored and upgraded.
In this study we continue to look at our new heavenly home in the New Jerusalem. The Glory of God will light up our home and truly make it a dwelling place that is beyond comprehension.
At the beginning of the study we recap the account of what happened at the Mount of Transfiguration. But following this mountaintop event was a valley filled with religious pharisees and a lunatic.
When you're interesting in buying a house, dimensions play a major factor. In this study, we see the dimension of our new home in the heavenly Jerusalem.

Often times there are barriers to our prayer-life. Pastor Mark breaks down these barriers in the third part of the series on the power of prayer.
In the letter to the church of Pergamos we learn of one thing God hates, and three promises God gives.
The church of Pergamos is known as the compromising church. In a highly distinguished city this church began to compromise by mixing the world into the church.
There is power in prayer. Prayer is to be personal and specific. Listen to find out the different types of prayer.
The church of Smyrna is known as the persecuted church. It is one of two churches that are not rebuked, but only commended. We are able to faithful in times of persecution & suffering, because Jesus was faithful to us in times of persecution & suffering.
The Lord Jesus Christ addresses 7 churches in the book of Revelation. Christ's words to the church of Ephesus rings in the ears of the reader.
The book of Revelation isn't difficult to understand. Revelation 1:19 gives the divine outline for the entire book by dividing the book into three main sections, the things which you have seen, the things which are, and the things which will take place.
The Apostle John walked with Jesus for over three years as the beloved disciple. But, at the end of his life, he was given fresh revelation of the greatness of his God. As Christians we also need fresh revelation of the greatness of the Lord Jesus Christ.

In addition, we see the great blessing of being the bride of Christ, and the grace and peace that comes with knowing our Savior.
What in the World is Going on? The book of Revelation is THE book for the present time. The book of Revelation is the unveiling of Jesus Christ. As we go verse-by-verse through this special book, there is a special blessing.
The writer of Hebrews reminds us to finish the race set before us by keeping our eyes on the Author & Finisher of our faith, Jesus Christ.
God makes mention of people in His word, that we know little about. This is a reminder that Jesus always takes note of you.
The Life of David is a monthly bible study on Sunday Evenings. This Sunday we saw a continued contrast between David and Saul. David clung to the Lord through the good and the bad, which made all the difference.
"What God is pouring into you is far greater than what you are pouring out." Paul was poured out like a drink offering, and Demas departed from the faith. When we keep our eyes on Jesus, He will keep us from departing from the faith and will continue to pour into us so we can be poured out like Paul.
Paul serves as a great example of one who was faithful to fulfill his ministry. To his last breathe, he preached the Word and did the work of an evangelist. We are reminded that preaching the gospel is not our recommendation, but our responsibility.
In the life of Moses we see two important decisions. The decision of Moses parents to by faith keep their child, and the decision of Moses to by faith leave Egypt and seek the Living God.
Deception is a leading characteristic of the perilous times of the end days. The cure to avoid deception is to know the Word of God.
God will take you as far as you want to go. Abraham allowed God to take him to great depths of faith to the point where he died in faith. Where is God leading you today?
Perilous times we predicted in the Bible, and are inevitable. But there is hope, and there will be restoration!
Our study continues in the Hall of Faith. The faith of both Enoch and Noah was active & fearless, because they walked with God. What is your faith like?
Pastor Paul Charles shares a message on service and calling. The Bible tells us that every Christian is given a calling, and every Christian has been given a gift as a part of the body of Christ.
The central theme of Hebrews 11 is faith! As we read of the faith of these characters (some unusual) we are encouraged in our faith.
As Christian's we are apart of the house of God, and in the house we are referred to as vessels. However, there are vessels of honor and dishonor. Which are you? The choice is yours.
In this study, we see what the God of universe has to say about us! The beginning of Ephesian's chapter two is "you", but in verse 4 there is divine intervention by God himself. The focus changes to God, and separates "who we were" to "who we are."
David was led by the Spirit of God, Saul was led by his own selfishness. Which are you?
The book of Hebrews continues to expound upon the greatness of the New Covenant! Due to the greatness of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ; we have boldness to enter into His presence.
Paul the Apostle writes to Timothy and emphasizes the importance of remembering Jesus daily. Remembering Jesus may seem like a simple idea, however Paul mentions this during a time when Timothy was pastoring the church of Ephesus and was dealing with false teaching and persecution. We must remember Jesus during the good and the bad; the easy and the hard.
The sacrifice of Jesus made for a perfect atonement. Rather than a covering of our sin, there was an eradication of sin. It was the perfection of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ that wipes away our guilt and shame. There was a limit to the old covenant, however the new covenant is limitless!
As Christian's we are in need of divine strength. It is by the grace of God that He imports and imparts strength to the believer. We see that we are in need of this strength as Paul likens the Christian faith to a warrior, athlete, and farmer.
As we continue in the book of Hebrews, the earthly and heavenly sanctuary are contrasted. The earthly sanctuary was a model of the heavenly sanctuary, but the heavenly sanctuary is so much greater! Not only is the heavenly sanctuary better, but the atonement is far greater, it is complete!
The Life of David is a monthly bible study on Sunday Evenings. There is much that we can learn from this one character in the bible, and the highs and lows that he goes through. Join in the first study of this series as the lives of David and Saul are contrasted.
In this message, Paul the apostle exhorts Timothy to pass on what he has been given. God's truth is not subjective to culture or time, but is enduring and eternal. We must hold on to God's truth, this truth is woven into a pattern. The pattern of God's truth helps the believer discern what is, and isn't sound truth.
When we come to God, we approach Him based upon the finished work of Jesus on the cross. This is due to the glorious New Covenant, a covenant that is based upon the finished work of Jesus on the cross.
In this message, Paul exhorts young Timothy to not be ashamed of his circumstances, but to rely on God every moment.
In this message we are reminded that Jesus is our representative in heaven, and we have direct access to Him. He is there for forever and completely reminding us that our salvation is complete and forever in Christ.
In this message we will see the importance of being a Christian of belief and boldness. Timothy's faith was heavily influenced by witnessing the belief of his grandmother and mother. In addition, we see that Paul encourages Timothy to be bold.
This message is deep verse by verse study through Hebrews. The writer warns the reader in Hebrews 5 of the depth and importance of Melchizedek. By Chapter 7, the Holy Spirit finds it fit to go into this depth. The importance of Melchizedek comes to the conclusion that Jesus is the Superior High Priest, which is directly applicable to the born-again Christian. We do not have to go through a priest, prophet or pastor to have fellowship with God, but we have fellowship because Jesus is our Great High Priest.
In this message, we are introduced to the book of 2 Timothy. Paul the Apostle is imprisoned and awaiting his death, however prior to his death, he writes a letter of encouragement to Timothy. This letter was written as a source of encouragement and direction for Timothy to minister in preparation for the Last Day's, therefore it has direct application to the Christian.
In this controversial portion of Scripture, Pastor Mark teaches that Paul the Apostle is hypothetically speaking of a born-again Christian, losing their salvation. Again, this is a hypothetical situation that Paul uses to get the attention of the Jewish people. It is obvious as we continue to read that salvation is secure in Christ, and that there is a great hope found in Jesus. As we study all of Scripture we see salvation is absolutely secure."Don't go back, go forward."
"The place you have suffered the most painfully, is the very place God speaks most powerfully." Pastor Ben Courson shares another powerful message on the hope we have during times of pain, by using powerful illustrations throughout the entire Bible. Because God is love, we are able to confidently run the race of life!
** Ben played a video from his Youtube channel called "Hope Generation Creative: If" Click the link on the bottom to listen.
Turn your fear into courage! Pastor Ben Courson gives an incredible message of hope by diving deep into Genesis 1:1, and the incredible work of God in the first verse of the entire Bible. Ben explains to us that our God is BIG, and there is nothing we have to fear!
Author & apologist Don Stewart gives a prophetic update on end times events. This thought-provoking message reminds us of the faithfulness of God, and the reliability of the Bible. In addition, we are comforted with the fact that God is ultimately in control of the world, and our lives.
In this message Pastor Mark uses Scripture to interpret Scripture to answer this controversial topic of salvation. Thankfully, when we allow Scripture to do the interpreting of Scripture we see that true salvation can never be lost in Christ. Listen for more.
"Millionaires seldom smile" - Carnegie
You can be rich in this world, and poor in the next; you can be poor in this world, and rich in the next. Real riches are eternal riches, and Timothy is told how to charge those that find themselves rich in this world.
As Paul finishes the letter to Timothy, we see Timothy is told to guard the real truth. For real truth is always found in the Word of God.
In this message, Pastor Mark, teaches verse by verse through Hebrews chapter 5. In this chapter we learn that Jesus is our Great High Priest. He is superior, and completes the priesthood of the Old Testament. In addition, we are called to be apart of this priesthood. At the end of the chapter we see a warning to spiritual immaturity.
Many people hear about Jesus during Christmas time, and even sing about Him, but seem to miss Him. We must mix faith with what we hear, and as Christians we must share the gift of God of eternal life by sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
The birth of Jesus was the fullness of time for the 1st coming of Jesus. It was the fullness of time prophetically, politically, socially, and spiritually for Jesus to come into the world.
Jesus is our place of rest, He is our helper, He is our mediator, He is our sacrifice, He is our High Priest, and He is so good! Listen this powerful message of our gracious God!
In this message Paul gives a prescription for godly living in three doses. Flee, follow, and fight. As children of God we are called to flee temptation, follow godliness, and fight the good fight of faith for the rest of our lives.
True rest is not found in a location, but in a person, Jesus Christ. A byproduct of following Jesus in obedience and trust will lead to spiritual rest, even during times of trial and turmoil. In contrast, a life of unbelief will result in anxiety and fear for the child of God.
In this message we are given insight into God's word on: the right man for the right ministry, that attitude of a Christian in the workplace, and where to find true contentment. Follow along on this verse by verse study in the book of 1st Timothy.
In this message, the author of Hebrews writes to the Jews reminding them that Jesus is better than Moses.
In addition, we see the second exhortation that warns believers of falling into unbelief. By looking at the old testament picture of the Jews remaining in the wilderness due to unbelief, we are exhorted not to remain in the wilderness of the Christian life, but to enter into victorious Christian living by faith.
If you were blessed by this teaching, share it with a friend or on social media! Simply, tap the 'share' button in the right corner under the image.
In this message we cover instructions given to the family of God. As children of God, we are apart of the family of God, which was bought by the blood of Christ. And in this portion of Scripture, the Holy Spirit inspires Paul to pen instruction on how God desires for His family to interact with one another.
In this powerful message we dive into Scripture and see the victory that we have in Jesus! Jesus Christ is the ultimate answer and solution to every problem we face. Because, Jesus came as the God-man and related to us on the basis of suffering in humanity, He is the perfect High Priest. Check out this teaching, as we dive into this incredible section of God's Word.
In this teaching, Timothy is exhorted to advance in the faith, and we are reminded of moving forward in our relationship with the King of Kings.
In honor of Thanksgiving, Pastor Mark reminds us that no matter what we've gone through we can give thanks to the Giver. A quick overview of the Life of Jonah reminds us that Jonah was in a place of hopelessness, and helplessness, but once Jonah put his eyes back on Jesus he was able to give thanks and everything changed for him. Jonah gave sacrifice with a voice of thanksgiving.
On November 19, 2017, we were blessed to have Pastor Greg Nelson share with us. Pastor Greg is the chaplain at the Federal Correctional Facility (Penitentiary) here in Lompoc. Remember to pray for Pastor Greg and his family, that God continues to use him to reach the lost, and equip the saints in prison.
We were blessed to have Ben Courson of Hope Generation give an encouraging message on faith, hope, and love on Wednesday, November 15th! If you'd like to hear more messages from Ben, check out the link above to his website and youtube!
In the study we are warned of false teachings that we circulating in the church of that time and continue on today. In the end, we are exhorted to stand boldly for the truth!
Follow along as we study the book of Hebrews, and are reminded how Jesus is better than anything else this world has to offer.
In this study we are reminded that the church is alive, because Christ lives within the body of believers.
In this study we see how Jesus is better than the angels, how God the Father refers to Jesus as God, and are warned of drifting away.
The qualifications of church leadership are clearly defined, and given to Paul as Timothy pastors the church in Ephesus.
Paul writes on the roles of men and women within the church. Its is crucial to remember that men and women are completely equal, and are given different roles that are critical to the functioning of the church.
Prayer is critical to the church. The men and women of the church must continue in prayer, because there is power in prayer.
It is important to look through life in the lens of Jesus Christ. By looking at life through His perspective, we will be saved from shipwreck.
Paul focuses on the glorious gospel of Jesus Christ, and the incredible power it has to transform the greatest sinners, great children of God.
