Pastor examines a question often asked: Why, God?
When we ask the question “Why, God, did you allow this?” we show our lack of faith in Him. When you give your heart to the Lord, He gives you eternal life through His Son, Jesus Christ. He has a destiny for you.
We shouldn’t ask “why, God?” but say, “I trust You, God.”
As we enter the Christmas season, Pastor Gray ponders the Light of the world.
Jesus did not come into the world as the Israelites expected or wanted him to. Instead he came as a baby, yet Isaiah 9:6 tells us Jesus shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
And He came to do that for all mankind.
Pastor Gray takes a cue from Revelation 2:1-5 to encourage us to repent and return to our first love and first works–that of the apostolic age.
What is the apostolic age? God is able to heal; He is able to deliver; He is able to save. And when we go back to that, we’ll see a move of God like never before.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
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?
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?
