Watch and Be Sober

Pastor Gray exhorts us to “not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober,” for Jesus’ return comes like a thief in the night.

For the believer, it is not a time to go to sleep. It is a time continue in vigilant prayer, to build up our faith in God, and time to get out more of the Word of the Lord than ever before.

We are to be watchmen who make mention of the Lord day and night.

Don’t Despise the Threshing Floor

Sunday, Nov. 10, 2024. Pastor Mark Linder of The Dwelling Place, Florence, Alabama, concludes the Simply Jesus weekend with a lesson from the threshing floor.

From God’s threshing floor we learn our identity, receive God’s assignment, and are assured of His presence and authority as we carry out His assignment. Our purpose is greater than our pleasure.

T.R.U.T.H.

Saturday, Nov. 9, 2024. Pastor Mark Linder of The Dwelling Place, Florence, Alabama, teaches about water baptism.

In our flesh, we are powerless against the enemy. But water baptism signifies we are dying in Christ. When we come up out of the water we are identifying with Christ’s resurrection, and no longer operating in our flesh.

Come Out of Babylon

Friday, Nov. 8, 2024.

Pastor Mark Linder of The Dwelling Place, Florence, Alabama, opens a special Simply Jesus weekend with calling us to come out of Babylon.

God is gracious and merciful. He is also holy and just. Babylon, the world, would tell you your pleasure is more important than your purpose. But no, it is time to pull down the idols in the church and return to the fear of the Lord.

Vote for Righteousness

Pastor Gray draws a comparison between the unrighteous Israel of King Jehu’s day and the US of today.

The upcoming election is not about Democrats or Republicans. It’s about good and evil. Not voting is being in agreement with evil. Though evil seems to dominate everything today, God will have the last say.

Vote for righteousness.

The Demands of Evil

Pastor Gray preaches on Daniel 3 and the 3 Hebrew boys King Nebuchadnezzar had thrown into the fire.

The king insisted all bow down and worship the golden image he had built, and those who didn’t would be put to death. In the End Times, the Antichrist will insist on the same thing.

Will you refuse like the Hebrew boys or submit to the demands of evil?

By Their Fruit

A tree is identified by the fruit it bears. So are we. Pastor Gray expounds on Matt. 7:15-23, “by their fruit you shall know them” (vs. 20).

When Jesus went to the fig tree for a fig, he discovered no figs. That fig tree represents both the church and individual believers.

Will the world find good, evil, or no fruit at all from us when it seeks to know the Lord?

Eternal Destiny

“For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul” (Mark 8:36 KJV).

Pastor Gray asks us, have we given up our lives for the sake of Jesus or are we holding onto the pleasures of this world?

Where will your eternal destiny be? Will you meet Jesus as Judge or as Savior?

Arise and Shine

Pastor Gray preaches on Isaiah 59:19, “when the enemy comes in like a flood.”

On Oct. 7, 2024, it will be one year since Hamas attacked Israel. The code name for that insurrection was The Flood. Israel’s ultimate enemy, Satan, like Hamas, wants to destroy them. In doing that, Satan must also destroy the true church because it is the only ally Israel has.

What tactics does Satan use to do this? And what is our role in the battle?
