Prayer is an essential part of the Christian faith. It is a way for believers to communicate with God, seek guidance and ask for forgiveness. Christians are encouraged to pray regularly and there are different types of prayers for various occasions.

Islam's Five Pillars are the foundation of Muslim life. These include declaration of faith, prayer, giving to charity, fasting during Ramadan, and pilgrimage to Mecca. Each pillar has its own significance and helps Muslims to strengthen their faith and connection to Allah.

Meditation is a spiritual practice that has been used for centuries in different faiths. It involves quieting the mind and focusing on a particular thought or object. Meditation can help reduce stress, improve concentration, and enhance overall well-being.

Buddhism is a religion that originated in ancient India and is based on the teachings of Siddhartha Gautama, also known as the Buddha. It emphasizes the importance of understanding suffering and the impermanence of life. Buddhists aim to achieve enlightenment and end the cycle of rebirth.

Hinduism is a complex religion with many gods and goddesses. Hindus believe in one ultimate reality, but worship different deities for various reasons. Each god and goddess has their own unique qualities and represents different aspects of the universe.

One of the most difficult pills to swallow is the notion that Lot was a righteous man. In this message, we explore how Lot was righteous. 

One of the most humorous actions of both Abraham and Sarah is when they both laughed inside on different occasions of the thought of a hundred year old man and a ninety year old woman having a child. It's a great story on howIsaac got his name. 

This is a great story of how Hagar of how Hagar, the oppressed one, found favor with God. 

Abram returns from Egypt to Canaan and the Lord. He learns his lesson, which nearly cost him his wife.  Lot, on the other hand is drawn to a False Eden as he separates from Abram. 

Abram relies on his own human wisdom, not God's as he comes up with a plan to make some money in Egypt during a famine. The result could have cost him everything. 

As a father, you want to make a good impact on your son. You want him to be a better person than you are, more successful, more equipped. As we follow the story of Terah and his son, Abram, we have the opportunity to follow the two journeys and see the final outcome. 

This talk focuses on the seed of the woman outside the Garden, Cain and his brother Abel. The goal is to slow down and focus on the how this story develops from high hopes to a recognition that Cain is not the seed of the woman, but the snake.

Genealogies are treated as the unwanted Stranger. However, they can be fun to go through together as a church. I believe, we accomplished this on Mother's Day as we went through Genesis chapter 5, which involved the line of Seth, the line that began to call on the name of the Lord through him and his ancestors. 

 Genesis 6:1-8 is a Prologue of the Flood account. In this section, we get a an unclose view of the events just prior to the flood and they are alarming. Not only were the thoughts of every human evil all the time; but there were also strange characters introduced, including the Sons of God and the Nephilim.

 Genesis 7:1-24  

This is one of the most controversial chapters in Genesis. It is hard to imagine everything that breathes the breath of life from its nostrils, that is all the creation on the land, dies. All kinds of questions about the animals, the architecture of the boat, and the improbability of Noah's survival.

 Genesis 8:1-22

This section begins with a beautiful line. God remembered Noah. How does Noah respond? He makes a sacrifice. A Burnt offering, which represents the whole animal, every part of it. That is the one Old Testament sacrifice that really illustrates the total sacrifice Jesus made to us on the cross. He gave every part of Him to God as a demonstration of how committed he was to saving us from chaos and death. 

 Genesis 9:1-17

God's Covenant Promises are Revealed in 9:1-17. We explore the nature of that covenant, which includes animals will be the meat for humans, and in retrospect, the animals themselves. The section ends with an encouragement. If you have ever felt lonely, alienated, defeated, or even an outcast, you must cling to God's Promises. He is speaking to us today, we just have to discern how to "listen" in a way where we see Him. 

 Genesis 9:18-32

This section is about Noah's Drunkenness and  Ham's Sin. In the Process, Noah cursed Ham's yet unborn child, Canaan., Noah's grandson. We explore several questions such as how could a righteous man like Noah get drunk.  How could God allow Canaan to be cursed for the sin of his father? Also, what is meant by Ham seeing his father's nakedness? 

 Genesis 10:1-32

The focus is all about the connections of the Table of Nations in the Hebrew Bible (the Tanakh).  When it comes to these nations there are many connections to the biblical story. From Noah's curse and blessings, to his three sons, to sibling rivalry, God's heart for the nations,  to Nimrod (Nineveh, Babylon, Assyria) to the Canaanites,  to the importance of sharing God with the nations,.? 

 Genesis 11: 1-9

The Tower of Babel incident was the third rebellion. It serves to remind us how ever since the Garden, humanity is more interested in making a name for themselves, than they are for God.  

To Understand the Genesis Account, it is important to take off your western mindset and read like an ancient Hebrew. In doing so, you will discover the focus is not focusing on science, but rather the meaning the biblical author is communicating to you and his ancient readers .

 Why is day 7 of the creation account in chapter 2? Is the creation account in chapter 2 another creation account?  

What is the Tree of Life and how does it apply to my life? These are some issues we must wrestle together through to understand what the author is communicating. 

There has been some some debate on how the woman is portrayed in the Genesis account. Unfortunately, too many times the woman has been viewed as a helper and a rib throughout biblical history.  So what does the Bible say in light of a word study? 

When we think of the fall of the man and the woman, there is a sadness of what could have been. One aspect of the fall that has been overlooked is the extraordinary  mercy that was displayed by Yahweh. This will me a main focus. 

The Midweek Snack: On this podcast we explore what the serpent may have looked like before the fall. We will also clarify what is meant by the woman and the seed. 

The Midweek Snack:  In this podcast, the focus is on the Two Trees, the Tree of Life and the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. What does the Bible say about these Trees? How do they apply to our lives. You are invited to Trace the Tree of Life throughout the Bible.  d. 

The Roles of the Christian Household was Revolutionary when it was First Instituted back during the times of the New Testament.  It leveled the playing field, and held everyone accountable in a patristic culture. Today, the roles are questioned, especially the idea of submission by the wife.  The focus is explaining how having roles bring harmony to the home.

Knowing who You ARE in Christ is the most important thing in your life. 

There are many Christians today that make you feel like you are missing something spiritually. They make you feel like they are at a higher spiritual level.  But is this true? This message discusses this and correlates this to what was happening to the young Christians at Colossians church who were confronted with false teachers who claimed secret knowledge.

in this talk, we explore the theme and character in the first two chapter. In doing so, we reflect on whether God works in the lives of those who have no knowledge or desire to know Him. 

Have you ever been overlooked when you deserved a promotion? Have you ever reached a point in your life where you have to make a decision but you're not sure if it is the right or wrong thing to do? There comes a point where you have reached a crossroads in your life and you have to choose.

In this Talk, Pastor Kene focuses on how God's providence and human pride intersects in the story of Esther and in our own lives. In the end, God can work through anything.

The seventh chapter of Haman is a defining one because it focuses on identity. Esther had experienced hiding her identity, having her identity taken, and had to come to a point to were she would reveal her true identity.

Have you ever had your plans backfire, even though they were brilliant and thought out? At times like that you wonder if it is a coincidence or the fate of God. 

The message focuses on how God works thru Esther and Mordecai to grant the Jewish nation the ability to defend themselves. In the process, we learn that God is not silent; instead He is faithful to His promises. The same is true in our lives.

Often, we think we know what's best for our life. This story makes us realize we need to dig deeper

People know many traits about Jesus. Compassion. Forgiver. Lover.  But what makes him angry? 

Jesus always wants to stretch us. There are seasons in life where he wants us to go to the other side, where the trials of life can rock our faith.  In such cases, Jesus wants us to hold on to the boat. 

He couldn't escape his demons until Jesus came to the rescue. This story in Mark five is filled with Jesus, Surprising Prayer Requests, and of course, many demons.

We've all been told to wash our hands and use soap at some point in our life from our parents and educators. However, in this talk, the religious leaders equate improper washing to be an offense against God. Listen to find our more,

There comes a point where the Heart is torn between the Beautiful Treasures of Earth and the eternal ones of Heaven. In this talk, we will explore which one is truly Good. 

When Jesus overthrew the tables of the money changers and the stools of those who sold pigeons, he illustrated the importance of proper worship in God's house.  A good question for us simply, "What is it that Hinders our worship? What is it that Jesus needs to overthrow? Soon
