04-28-2022 2 Samuel 24 Pastor Dave shares one of the times in Scripture when King David sinned ( 2 Samuel 24:17 ) but believed God, recognized his sin, took responsibility for his actions and repented. King David, not a perfect individual, believed God and he went to the source of Mercy always acknowledging his sin and receiving cleansing that comes to him as Justice meets Mercy ( Psalms 51).

03-13-2022 1 Cor 3 as well as many passages on the subject of being carnal. This topic was selected to cover in advance of The Judgement Seat of Rewards which will be our topic for next Sunday.

03/06/2022 Ephesians 2 What is Death? What is Life? Do we understand that life is absolute? God's Word has So much to say regarding this subject. This message gives the clear answer and necessity for us to understand this Truth. May God Bless you as you listen.

Listen carefully as Pastor Dave addresses this question with clarity and by the Word of God. May God Bless you as you listen.
02/20/2022 Matt 24:36-38 Noah's ark a type of salvation "In Christ". May we not be so busy doing all the things around us, as those during the time of Noah did, and miss the salvation that is available to us right now. God paid with a great price, by giving His Only Begotten Son, John 3:16, that I might enter the security of being In Christ and receive confidence that the penalty for my sins has been paid. By Faith alone not adding anything. Jesus is, the Way, The Truth and the Life, (refer to that message). Only Believe (faith) and call upon the Name of the Lord. May God Bless you as you listen and respond to His Call.
02/17/2022 Col 1:24 Paul was in a Roman prison when he wrote this letter. He endured to the end and his writings to us demonstrate in his life the realty of being "IN Christ". You may be suffering, discouraged, and even in fear of the circumstances we are seeing around you. This message will encourage you and give you Hope and Joy. May God Bless you as you listen.
02/13/2022 Ps 103 and Ps 51 Understanding the Mercies of God and His Great Love for Us. In Ps 103 we see a picture of God and His Tender Mercies to us and in Ps 51 an example of that Amazing Love.

12/05/2021 Passages From John 3 and John 4. What is Salvation? This message will give you hope and assurance of God's Work in your life. Our Salvation comes from God. He shows us our need for Him and then we by Faith agree with God and believe on The Finished Work of Christ. Be encouraged this day as you listen. May God Bless
12/02/2021 Romans 15 and Isaiah 11 Pastor Dave again reminds us that God's Word is true and that all it says will come to pass. One day "...every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess to God" Rom 14:11 (KJV) Do we really understand and know how great His Salvation is? Are we Sunday morning believers only or is Christ your life? Many people think that they can decide for themselves what is true with no regard or even caring about what God says is True. May we consider today and examine ourselves to know beyond a doubt that we have trusted in the only one that can save us Jesus Christ. Jesus said, " I am the way, the truth and the life: no man cometh unto the Father but by me" John 14:6 (KJV) May God Bless you as you listen today.
11/14/2021 Genesis 31 and 32 Jacob's life and how it was always God working and interceding on Jacobs behalf is an example of how God works in each on of us that love Him. Hebrews 11:21 says "By faith Jacob when he was a dying blessed both the sons of Joseph and worshipped, leaning upon the top of hi staff." KJV. This was at the end of Jacobs life. May we not lose hope as we life day by day in the Light of Jesus. He will accomplish the completed work. Glory to God. May we worship Him this day for OH so GREAT A SALVATION!!!!! May God bless you as you listen.
09/09/2021 Romans 7. This beautiful passage describing that we are dead to Law and Alive in Jesus. Our salvation and living Is based not on law bur Christ (His Life) ".. who shall deliver me from the body of this death? I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord, So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin." Rom 7:24-25 Listen carefully and understand by the Spirit what is written here in Romans 7. May God bless you as you listen.
09/02/2021 Romans 6 Pastor Dave called this section of God's Word "the Heart of the Gospel". In this chapter Paul tells of the Union we have in Christ in His Death and in His Resurrection. And, the precious Truth in chapter 6 verse 11 that we, as believers, are to reckon (count on and agree with God) that we are dead unto sin but alive unto God through Jesus Christ. Death, Burial and Resurrection. Unfortunately, this truth has been forgotten and passed over in so many teachings of today. This is a POWERFUL MESSAGE.May God Bless you as you listen.
08/22/2021 Starting with Ezekiel 28:20 and continuing into the prophecy of Egypt.....and the truth regarding hell, the pit and Hades in chapter 31.

July 29, 2021 Romans 1:18----- We are starting an overview of Romans. Join us and see Oh How Great A Salvation WE Have In Jesus.
06/20/2021 Ezekiel 6:11-chapter 9. Understanding these deep prophecies "The king shall mourn and the prince shall be clothed with desolation, and the hands of the people of the land shall be troubled: I will do unto them after their way, and according to their deserts will I judge them: and they shall know that I am the Lord" Ezekiel 7:27. May God Bless you as you hear with ears of hearing and hearts receiving The Truth of His Word..
05/23/2021 Matt 9:13. Thank you Andy for sharing God's Word today. This message today is so much needed in our lives as we see events going on around us that can easily confuse and distract us. May we never forget that Love, The Very Love Of God, covers a multitude of sin. Listen and hear the interaction of the group as many scriptures are given for us to Think Upon and consider. May God Bless you as you listen with ears to hear and hearts to receive. May God Bless you each one.
05/16/2021 1 Kings 13. Some of the greatest temptations we experience are couched in men that do not speak the truth. Are we interested in the truth? Do we truly believe that God is Holy? If so, how does that truth change our life? Or does it? This is a great message with interaction with the group that will benefit each that listens with ears to hear and hearts to receive. May God Bless you as you listen.
05/09/2021 Finishing up (for now) our survey of the book of Isaiah. See what Isaiah says regarding The Eternal State, that time after the 1000 year Reign of Christ. God has not told us a lot regarding that time, but certainly enough to understand that it will be a Glorious Time. God will finish His work and not forget His Promises. In case you wonder, Dave's voice will improve with time. Thank you for listening!!!!!! May god Bless you. We have so much to look forward to. This time here is nothing compared to what God has for us for eternity. So, do you have that security that your sins have been paid for by Jesus Christ. "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life" John 3:16
05/06/2021: 1 Peter chapter 1 Starting a new study in 1 Peter Understanding what has happened in the World and continuing today, we find that a body of knowledge of every area has exploded. Listen with ears to hear and hearts to receive. May God Bless
04/18/2021 Isaiah 54 and 55. Again Dave gives us a simple outline of the next few chapter of Isaiah. The comparison of Israel and our walk is so evident in these two chapters. Are we, as believers in Jesus, willing to acknowledge sin in our lives and fall on our face before God or are we stiff-necked? Questions for us to consider today as we listen to this moving message. May God Bless you as you listen with ears to hear and hearts to receive. Salvation is of God.
04/08/2021 Continuing in Olivet Discourse, Matt 25:14. See how this message is for us today. AMAZING!!!!
04/04/2021 Isaiah 53 on this Resurrection Morning. This is a powerful message. May God Bless you as you worship the Risen Savior today.
03/25/2021 Matt 24:9 Starting with verse 9, Jesus starts to open up a description of what this time called The Tribulation will look like. Using other scriptures, Dan 7 and 2 Thess 2 which gives more detail and confirms as well these amazing verses in Matt 24. Matt 24 is referred to as "The Olivet Discourse" , the Words of Jesus. May you be encouraged regarding the Faithfulness of God. He will do ALL that He has said and promised. During these next minutes as you listen with ears to hear and hearts to receive, May God Bless you.
03/21/2021 Powerful Message of encouragement. Continuing in Isaiah a powerful message of the faithfulness of God to accomplish His plan and purpose for those that believe. We are taken every day to difficult times, heart ache, sorrow, disappointment, rejection, and so much more. But God, in His faithfulness and holiness has YOU graven upon the palms of His hands. How marvelous is that to hear today. Christ the Suffering Servant is prophesied here in chapter 49 of Isaiah some 700 years before the birth of Jesus. Amazing to say the least!!!!! The Redeemer the mighty one!!!!! May God Bless you as you listen
03/07/2021 Isaiah 43. "I Even I am the Lord; and beside me there is no saviour." Isaiah 43:11
02/28/2021 Isaiah 42 "...The Testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy." Rev 19:10. The revelation of Jesus through out the scripture is so amazing as we see again the person of Jesus manifested in chapter 42 of Isaiah. This is the time for us to see this more clearly and recognize the Holiness and all knowing of Our God. His plan is perfect and nothing will ever take Him by surprise. He will be exalted. We find here in chapter 42 the phrase "When God Roars". Judgement will come to the world at His appointed time but now is the Time of Grace. These things are true and real. May we have ears to hear and hearts to receive. May God Bless you as you listen.
02/14/2021 Isaiah 40:1-11 Remember the following. Isaiah 1-39 = 39 chapters, tells of the Government of God by Law, It so happens that there are 39 Books in the Old Testament. Isaiah 40-66 = 26 chapters, tells of the Government of God by Grace and there are 26 Books in the New Testament. Did this just happen? Law came by Moses, Grace and Truth by Jesus Christ. Believers in Jesus Christ have a high calling. We are made for Him. "..In Him we live and move and have our Being...." Acts 17:28. So may we concentrate today on The Love Of God that is beyond measure to all those that call upon His name. He stands with outstretched arms to receive any one that will Believe. "For God so loved the world that He gave His only Begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." John 3:16. May god bless you as you listen.
02/04/2021 Matt 13:45-51 and Matt 15:22-29. This is a moving message revealing to us God's Faithfulness, patience, longsuffering, and mercy to those who come to Him by Faith believing. Simple Faith and a Broken and contrite Heart. May we understand more fully the meaning of these messages of the The Kingdom of Heaven. May God Bless you as you listen.
01/31/2021 Isaiah 33. Hear a sincere testimony. We are beginning to Understand the Ways of God and the working of His might to accomplish His plan and watch care on those that call upon His Name. We see the results of Israel and the outcome as they experienced Blessing and Cursing based on Law. May we all understand the great redemption we have through Jesus Christ and understand the difference between Law and Grace. Glory to Jesus Christ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!May God Bless you as you listen. Amen!
01/28/2021 Matt: 25:1-30 As we continue in Matthew, Pastor Dave reminds us of the differences between the Kingdom of Heaven and the Kingdom of God. As we study these parables, a question is answered. Who makes up this Kingdom of Heaven and just what is the Kingdom of God? When we talk about Christendom, who are these individuals? Find the answer here as Dave shares these precious Words of Jesus. May God Bless you each one.
01/24/2021 Isaiah chapter 30. The example of Israel in this book of prophecy shows us more of the Ways of God and how He deals with people during various times. The mistakes Israel made are often so much like what we as Believers do. Paul told us that the Old Testament scriptures are for our example so that we may learn from them. Can we be thankful for the chastening that might come to us? Are we mindful of what God is telling us? We can be dependent in no one, But Jesus, The Author and Finisher of Our Faith. May we have ears to hear and hearts to receive the Truth. May God Bless you.
01/17/2021 This message is for ALL of Us. Pastor Dave puts a spot light on the events happening today in the world. How much responsibility does Christendom have? A Big question. Pastor Dave takes us to 2 Thess 2:3-12 and gives us instruction that is necessary for us to understand during these days. We as believers in Jesus, those that Trust in (Believe) the finished work of Jesus on the Cross, must understand these truths. Don't be deceived.!!!!! Pastor then goes to Isaiah 29 as he continues the highlights of this great book of prophecy. May we have ears to hear and hearts to receive. May God Bless You each one.
1/14/2021 Finishing the Sermon on the Mount, Pastor Dave summarizes as we finish Chapter 7 of Matthew. Are we just going through the motions of what we think is expected of us being Born Again or are we living out the very life of Jesus by His Holy Spirit moving and having His way in our lives. Are we concerned about a list of Don'ts or are we living by Faith and BEING what God has made us for. What we read here in these passages does not approach the heights of things that God wants for His Church Today. May we listen with ears to hear and hearts to receive. May God Bless You.
07/07/2021 Matt 5:25-6:6. The Sermon On The Mount is so misunderstood by so many today. Listen with ears to hear and hearts to receive. May God Bless you each one. Thank you for listening. Thanks to David Crowder for his song, "All My Hope is In Jesus" . May Jesus truly be Our Hope. AMEN
01/03/2021 Continuing in Isaiah starting with chapter 25 and 26. We find again the Ways of God in this passage. We see how it applies to us today and gives us even more understanding in how God has and will deal with The Nation of Israel. May God Bless you as you listen.
12/3/20 1 Tim 1:8-11. As we continue in our study of the Sermon on the mount Matt 5:17, God is answering many of our questions regarding the use of the law for the believer in The Church today. Law came by Moses But Grace and Truth By Jesus Christ. So what is the use of law....today many say it (the law) is a rule of life. Pastor Dave answers this question in this message and more. Do we understand that self righteousness has no place in our life? What does it mean to be humble? May we have ears to hear and hearts to receive what God would have us know. May God Bless you as you listen. Read carefully I Tim 1:8-11.
12/24/20 Affliction, heart ache, trouble, disappointment, not knowing the future, job loss, isolation and on and on has been this year 2020. How does God refine us as believers? It is done in many ways but affliction is one of them. Remembering that "All things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose." In Hebrews 5:8 we read "Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered." a hard verse to understand that Christ suffered and he learned obedience. Listen as Pastor Dave shares truths that will cause us to better understand why we suffer. May we learn these truths in order that we can stand during the age that we live in. May God Bless You.
Luke 2:25nand Isaiah 48:9-11.
What is Faith? What is the meaning of Identification with Christ and how does that apply to my life today? These are questions answered here in this discussion with Andy in 2006. The truth that just as we are saved by faith in the work of Christ on the cross, Justification; we are Sanctified as we walk by that same faith and not by the law. All Glory will be given to God. This is a Truth that has been lost in our Christian teaching today. May we each listen with ears to hear and hearts to receive.
Personal Testimony of Pastor Dave recorded in 2006. This is the true life experience of Pastor Dave. If you are a Believer, Pastor, Teacher young person that have questions regarding salvation and freedom and deliverance from the power of sin, please listen to the entire story that is very personal. May we all have ears to hear and hearts to receive this marvelous truth. May God Bless you.
Isaiah 9 continues again seeing the prophecy of Christ's first and second advent. This prophecy was given some 700 years before the birth of Christ. May our eyes be open and our hearts desirous to receive truth and hope that is contained in this book of Isaiah.
Continuing in Isaiah we find a description of great suffering, war and blindness under the reign of King Ahaz. But in the middle of this great time in history some 700 years before the birth of Jesus, we find the great prophecies regarding the Birth of Jesus (Isaiah 7:14) being one says "...a virgin shall conceive and bear a son and shall call his name Immanuel." Revelation 19:10 (kjv) "....the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy." May we have ears to hear and hearts to receive what the Spirit of God says.
As we continue in our survey of The Book of Isaiah Pastor Dave, taking us to the book of 2 Kings, gives us a vivid picture of the various Kings of the Southern Kingdom during the time of Isaiah. . With this, we can not only see what Isaiah was dealing with during his time but can see what God is saying to us today see 1 Cor 10:11. As you will see the word Compromise is spoken often. May we consider these things for us today in our personal life and in considering the condition of the church today. May we have ears to hear and hearts to receive the TRUTH of these passages. May God Bless you as you study His Word today.
Isaiah 6. Have we in our inner man experienced the Glory of God? Listen as Pastor Dave describes Isaiah's Vision and how that applies to us as believers. May we have eyes to see and ears to hear with our heart today.
Continuing in Isaiah Pastor Dave reviews chapter 2 and chapter 5. Watch for the 6 Wows of Isaiah and how they can be applied to the condition of the Church today. May we have the "Mind of Christ" to hear and understand this message.
Starting a series of messages from the Book of Isaiah, Pastor Dave presents a message that will pull at your heart asking questions regarding our position and relationship with Jesus Christ today. Do I present The Glory of God in my life or ( you fill the blank )? Can I sincerely ask God to Search my heart.? "Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Ghost". Titus 3:5 (KJV). May God Bless you as you listen.
Jude verse 3 (KJV) says, ".....it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that you should earnestly contend for the faith which was delivered unto the saints." During these days we are witnessing, at a fast moving pace, the moving away from the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We are seeing a "what ever feels good" message that is destroying the Truth that we are saved from the penalty of sin completely and only by believing in Jesus and His sacrifice on the cross. Pastor Dave gives some examples and data that show exactly what is happening in the church today. May we listen with ears to hear and hearts to receive the Truth that we might truly be SET Free!!!!!and STAND for and contend for The Faith.
2 Cor. 11:4 and Gal 1:6-7 speaks of "Another Gospel". We are living in the days of "Post Modern Religion" and the influence of FALSE teaching that presents the Gospel as 'whatever seems right for you'. Pastor Dave gives a clear teaching of the WORD OF GOD. Galatians 1:7 ".....there be some that trouble you and would pervert the gospel of Christ"(KJV). Are you listening with ears to hear and confirming for yourself the accuracy and TRUTH according to the Word of God of those that you listen to.? Matthew 7:14 "Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves" (KJV). May God Bless you and teach you BY HIS SPIRIT as you listen with hearts to receive.
This is a short portion of a study that Pastor Dave did regarding how we as believers respond to the call to Love even our enemies. May we each one examine our hearts in this regard. This is a powerful message and testimony that you need to listen with ears to hear and hearts to receive. May God Bless you each one as you listen.
Starting with Eph 4:18 Pastor Dave gives us a real look at what God has to say about the importance of our thinking. Romans 6 reviewed in light of this subject. May God Bless you each one as you hear God's Word.
1 John 5:5 "Who is he that overcometh the world, be he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?" (KJV) May we be overcomers, not by our own will strength but by FAITH in the one that has already defeated and overcome this world. John 16:33 Jesus said "....but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world"
1 John chapter 4. As believers, we are in a spiritual battle BUT GOD He has given to us every thing we need for life and godliness, 2 Peter 1:3,4.
May you be encouraged this day as you listen to Pastor Dave. AMEN
1 John chapter 3. Love of self or Love for God and others, "...let him deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me." Mark 8:34 KJV May God by His Spirit teach us this day.
Love is the outflow of the very Life of Christ in our lives. In 1 John 3:11 we see the words "..love one another", "love the brethren" over and over. Is this the outflow of our lives? Listen with ears to hear and hearts to comprehend what God is telling us in this passage starting with 1 John 3:11.
I John 2. If this has always been a question you have had, Be encouraged. This is your answer.
Be encouraged with the message of "How you can know that you have Eternal Life". As Pastor Dave continues in this message, he will direct us to 1 John chapter 2 and discuss the spirit of the antichrist and the working of that spirit in the days that we are living. Listen ! with ears to understand and hearts that desire to Know God. AMEN
Ephesians Chapter 2. A lost message in todays age of self reliance and humanism. This is refreshing Truth that will encourage you this day. These are troubling times we live in but we are not without Hope and assurance of the outcome. Today may you be brought to a higher depth of understanding of God and His Only Son Jesus Christ and His desire for you.
John speaks to us in absolutes here in 1 John 2:15. Any thing we think about that is in the world substracts from our attention to God. May the Holy Spirit teach us this day what this means.
"Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered; and being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him" Hebrews 5:8-9 (KJV) See episode 1 John 1
