Entering the Promised Land

Moses had some important things to say to the Israelites before they entered the Promised Land. It all came down to choices they would make. Those decisions would bring blessing and prosperity or destruction and death. God calls us to enter into the Promised Land where we can experience abundant living in Christ. But we face the same choices. Here's today's message from the Scotch Ridge pulpit--Scripture text: Deutoronomy 30:11-20:

Here's the Newsboys singing "I'm Free!"

Freedom Fighters

It will be a bad day for hell and a good day for the church when believers exercise the spiritual authority bestowed upon them by the Lord. Then those bounded by chains of addiction, brokeness, and failure will delivered, lifted up, and set free. Today's message comes from Luke 10:1-20.
