March 5, 2019
This is a verse by verse teaching of 1 John 4:7-14. If Christians are "of God," and love is "of God," and we are "born of God," then we will love others. John calls Christians, "beloved," many times to show that they are loved by God. If we don't love others, then we don't know God.

Christian Living 04 - Love Your Brothers - Audio
March 11, 2019
This is a verse by verse video teaching of 1 John 4:15-21. John says that the start of this life of agape love is to confess Jesus Christ as the Son of God. As we live in love, God abides in us. This prepares us for the day of judgment. Perfect love casts our the fear of judgment day. We love Him because He first loved us. We are liars if we say we love God but don't love our brother. If we don't love our brother, we...

Christmas Message - The Purposes Of The Lord - Audio
May 4, 2017
This is a verse by verse look at Matthew 1:18-25. The Incarnation - when God became man - is perhaps the greatest miracle in the Bible. The truth that in one person, two natures, fully God and fully man, could dwell together perfectly is a great mystery. Pastor Charlie gives verse by verse insights into this famous Christmas story. We look at the call of God on Mary as a young teenager girl. We see that God always initiates. He begins every...

Clothe Yourselves With Humility - Audio
May 4, 2017
This is a careful study of 1 Peter 5:5-11. We start first with a summary of 1 Peter. There are two key "S" words in this powerful book - Submission and Suffering. If we submit to God and others, we will suffer. Peter focuses on the "sufferings of Christ," yet, he does remain there. He explains the "glory that will be revealed." Our temporary sufferings are nothing compared to the "eternal glory." In...
Come to Me - Audio
May 8, 2017
Pastor Charlie takes three well-known passages from John, Chapters 5, 6, and 7, that mention the words "Come to Me." From John 5:39-40 he shows that coming to the Living Word is different than coming to the written Word. In John 7:37-39, he teaches that "thirst" is not a bad thing, but it's how you seek to satisfy that thirst that makes all the difference. Finally, in John 6:35-37, he magnifies Jesus as the bread of...

Confidence In God Not Man - Audio
May 4, 2017
In this encouraging and strong teaching on "trusting in the Lord," Pastor Charlie starts again with one of his favorite verses in the Bible - Proverbs 3:5-6. "Trust in the Lord" - the Hebrew word for "trust" is a picture word that means to lie face down before a conquering general in total and complete surrender. We are to lie prostrate before God with no agenda just unconditional surrender. One of the biggest...

Consider Your Ways - Audio
March 22, 2020
This is a detailed teaching of Haggai 1:1-7. The people had stopped building God's Temple for nearly 16 years. They didn't have time for God's house, but they had plenty of time for their houses. The Lord brings a powerful word of conviction and priorities. Why was nothing satisfying them? Why was nothing ever enough? Why did they have time for themselves but not God? The worship and presence of God was missing and they...

Corona Virus - Trust in the Lord - Video
March 16, 2020
In this unprecedented time of local, national, and world shut-downs due to the corona virus spread, our call as Christians (as always) is to trust in the Lord with all our heart. Being fearful is a choice. We're either going to trust the Lord or live in fear. In Psalm 56, David said that he would not fear; instead, he would trust in the Lord. Pastor Charlie also gives statistical information from the Great Influenza of 1918 and what...
Courage Not Compromise - Audio
May 4, 2017
Jesus has called us out of the world and into His kingdom and presence. We are not to be like the world nor mimic the lifestyle of ungodly people. Jesus said in Matthew 6:8, "Do not be like them." Don't be like the Pharisees, scribes, hypocrites, and pagans; be like your Father who is in heaven. Don't be like this culture. Reject it. Yet, so many Christians are compromising and giving in to the prevailing moral values of...
