"What is man that You should exalt him, that You should set your heart on him?" - Job 7:17
Dr. Ronald Nash says, "A worldview is the total of answers people give to the most important questions of life." And the question "What is man?" is so important that it's found 5 times in the Bible! We hope you can be with us this weekend to discover how the biblical worldview answers this great question and how knowing the answer can equip us for life in an increasingly counter-Christian culture.

Every one of us from his mother's womb, is an expert on inventing idols." - John CalvinA critical piece of the puzzle in our real-life "game of thrones" comes with an understanding of the fact that all human beings are wired for religion.

I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now.

U N D E R S T A N D I N G T H E T I M E S & K N O W I N G W H A T T O D OThe military uses the term "fog of war" to describe the confusion and chaos that soldiers experience in the heat of battle. God's people must deal with the same thing in the "War of the Worldviews." There is so much warfare we hardly know where to shoot! In this week's message, Pastor Ray will be teaching on how to move in the spirit of the children of Issachar and becoming one who understands the times and knows what to do. We hope you can be with us!

“The arguments of socialism resound through America like never before, and Christians must discern their persuasive but devious rhetoric and stand firm with a biblical answer. The answers to socialism are ‘the king is not God’ and ‘thou shalt not steal’.” - Dr. Joel McDurmon

"The problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people's money." - British Prime Minister Margaret ThatcherOne of the deadliest enemies of the Christian biblical worldview is socialism; a political philosophy that strikes at the very heart of the Lordship of Christ and the principles of private property and personal responsibility established in the Law of God. Yet so many of God's people don't know what it is, what it looks like, or why God is against it. We hope you can be with us for part one of a two-part message on "God Versus Socialism." - Jul 7, 2018WAR OF THE WORLDVIEWS: Part 22 – A Biblically-Informed Vision for Christian Citizenship

And from the days of John the Baptist until now, the Kingdom of heaven suffers violence and the violent take it by force. - Jesus in Matthew 11:12

"You are the salt of the earth...You are the light of the world." - Matthew 5:13-14Faith in these words of Jesus empowered the early church to "Christianize" cultures and disciple nations. But faith in myths, lies, and half-truths has left the modern church sitting on the sidelines while the battle for the soul of our nation rages on. The knowledge of the truth will set us free. - Jun 16, 2018POINT MEN

"As goes the pulpit, so goes the pew. As goes the pew, so goes the nation." - Dr. Michael YoussefThe power of the early American pulpits shaped the nation by providing God's people with a biblical worldview. Yet today, in an hour of great crisis in our civil government, our pulpits are misleading God's people, misreading God's word, and misunderstanding the signs of the times. We hope you can be with us this weekend as Pastor Ray continues our "War of the Worldviews" studies with a compelling message on "Politics and Pulpits." - Jun 2, 2018WAR OF THE WORLDVIEWS: Part 18 – Kingdom Politics

“Historically, the term ‘government’ was always qualified in some way, unlike our present-day definitions. The state was seen as only one government among many.” Gary DeMarWhen American Christians hear the word "government", they automatically think in political terms. This is a sad testimony to the fact that only 19% of American Christians have a biblical worldview. Please join us this weekend as Pastor Ray continues our "War of the Worldviews" series with an eye-opening introduction to the 4 spheres of government that God has ordained to regulate His world and what it means to you! - May 19, 2018WAR OF THE WORLDVIEWS: Part 16 – Echoes of Eden (Part 3)

"The foundations of the Christian worldview are all laid in the Book of Genesis, specifically in the events described in the first 3 chapters. After that, spiritually speaking, history just repeats itself. The history of the human race proves that our lives are "Echoes of Eden".

All the foundation stones of the biblical worldview are laid in the Book of Genesis and many are found in the events in the Garden of Eden. In this week's message, Pastor Ray will show how the events of human history are really only "Echoes of Eden" and what it all means us in our everyday lives. - Apr 21, 2018WAR OF THE WORLDVIEWS: Part 13 – Christ and the Gadarenes
