Guest speaker Kevin Lea examines Psalms 2:1,12 to ask what the disciples should have said and done when Jesus repeatedly predicted his suffering, death, and resurrection. He challenges doubts about the Bible, recommends Walt Brown's Hydroplate Theory and related apologetics resources to defend the historicity of events like Noah's flood. Walking through Psalm 2, Psalm 22, Isaiah 53 and multiple Gospel episodes, he contrasts the disciples’ expectation of a conquering Messiah with the scriptural picture of a suffering Messiah and recounts six occasions Jesus warned them. He calls us to deny ours
Guest speaker Mark Dinsmore reads Genesis 7:1,12 and challenges us to ask whether the flood waters came from above or from subterranean fountains. Drawing on Walt Brown’s hydroplate theory and his own creation science background, he explains how rupturing underground seas, supercritical water, and a global crustal rupture could have produced rain, ejected debris that became comets and asteroids, and left signatures like frozen mammoths and the Grand Canyon. He critiques the canopy model and radiometric dating, outlines flood phases that shaped mountains and Earth’s radioactivity, and points us
Pastor Rick Beaudry expounds Philippians 1:27,30, challenging the church to stand firm and united rather than succumb to division or political compromise. He outlines three essentials for the joy of victory: unity of purpose, an unshakable presence under pressure, and embracing the privilege of suffering for Christ. Drawing on Paul, church history, and the Roman triumph image, he contrasts suffering for righteousness with suffering from sin and warns of cultural threats such as technocracy, AI, and manipulative politics. He urges us to rely on Christ as our sufficiency, rejoice amid trials, an
Pastor Rick Beaudry expounds Philippians 1:19–26, showing how Paul, even in prison, rejoices that Christ will be magnified through his life or death and declares "for me to live is Christ and to die is gain." He unpacks Paul’s confident expectation that deliverance may come through the prayers of the church and the supply of the Spirit, while honestly wrestling with the tension between departing to be with Christ and remaining to serve the Philippians. Beaudry urges us to submit to God’s sovereignty, embrace sanctifying suffering, persevere with boldness and prayer, and let a single, consuming
Pastor Rick Beaudry unpacks Philippians 1:12,18 by pointing to Paul’s imprisonment as proof that adverse circumstances can further the gospel rather than derail it. He urges us to surrender daily, accept trials as ordained of God, and see suffering as an opportunity for God to expose Himself, encourage bold witness in others, and even use rivalry and envy to spread Christ. Drawing on biblical examples (Paul, Joseph, Peter, and Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego), he calls us to radical boldness in every setting, reminding us that the gospel is not bound and that there is joy and purpose amid pers
Pastor Rick Beaudry unpacks Philippians 1:7,11, teaching on the "Fruits of Righteousness" as he shares Paul’s affection and prayer that the Philippians' love would abound in knowledge and judgment. He lays out a threefold petition: abounding love informed by truth, authenticity as “sincere without wax,” and an abundance of goodness, and warns against hypocrisy, false teaching, and the seduction of secret knowledge. Practical application centers on the internal fruits of the Spirit (love, joy, peace, longsuffering, etc.), abiding in Christ as the vine to bear lasting fruit, the refining work of
Pastor Rick Beaudry unfolds Philippians 1:1–6, arguing that the source of our joy is confidence in Jesus: confidence drawn from God’s faithfulness in the past, sustaining us now, and securing our future completion at the day of Christ. Drawing from Paul’s imprisonment and memories of the Philippian church (Lydia, the freed slave girl, the jailer, and Epaphroditus), he shows how suffering and provision produced rejoicing, fellowship (koinonia), and practical support for the gospel. He exhorts us to keep our minds on Christ rather than inward introspection or therapeutic quick fixes, to refuse d
Pastor Rick Beaudry expounds Ephesians 6:21,24 with a defense of expository preaching and a call for men to lead faithfully while not quenching the zeal God raises in women when men fail. He identifies Tychicus as the messenger of love who brings Paul's letter, news, and comfort, and highlights the message of love as peace, faith, and reconciliation grounded in Scripture. The measure of love is described as sincere, tested, enduring, “without wax,” proven by trials and ultimately by the cross of Christ rather than worldly compromises. He urges us to be doers of the Word, to love God with all o
Pastor Rick Beaudry expounds Ephesians 6:19–20, using Paul’s prayer for an open door as a model for praying that God give us boldness to speak the gospel even while chained or persecuted. He draws sharp parallels between Paul’s trials and modern pressures: COVID church shutdowns, Bill C‑9 and Pastor Arthur Pawlowski’s legal battles, rising hate‑speech laws, biometric surveillance and the normalization of sexual immorality, that threaten Christian witness. Beaudry urges the church to be continually filled with the Holy Spirit, to pray for open mouths and open eyes, and to obey God rather than m
Pastor Rick Beaudry, preaching from Ephesians 6:18, urges us to embrace total dependence on God through persistent, Spirit‑led prayer, unpacking six aspects: frequency, form, fellowship, fight, fervency, and family. Drawing on biblical examples (David, Daniel, Peter, Paul, and Jesus) and personal anecdotes, he emphasizes direct access to the Father through Christ, the necessity of praying without ceasing, and the power of intercessory prayer for saints and prodigals. He warns against trusting technology, wealth, or political fixes, calls us to confess and persevere, and frames prayer as our pr
Pastor Rick Beaudry unpacks Ephesians 6:16–17, explaining the shield of faith, the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit as the believer’s armor in a world of spiritual warfare. He urges us to persevere through trials, guard our minds with assurance of salvation, and wield Scripture as both defense and offense against deception. Drawing on biblical examples and contemporary concerns about cultural and political deception, he emphasizes prayer, Bible study, and church community as essential support for standing firm. The message closes with a call to vigilance, faithfulness, and reli
Pastor Rick Beaudry unpacks Ephesians 6:14–15, urging us to wear the belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, and boots shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace as spiritual armor. He warns of intense deception in the last days - media manipulation, contested narratives about 9/11 and COVID, pharmaceutical and globalist influences, and the church’s drift into compromise - and urges us to test and prove all things. Calling for repentance, vigilance, and bold exposure of falsehood, he exhorts us to reclaim authentic faith so we won’t be neutralized by the enemy. He closes with a
Pastor Rick Beaudry reads Ephesians 6:10–13 and frames the Christian life as a battleground, calling us to be strong in the Lord, put on the whole armor of God, and rely on the Holy Spirit rather than self. He draws on Scripture to outline four essentials: reliance, readiness, reconnaissance, and resistance, showing how prayer, discernment, and public testimony equip us to withstand the devil’s schemes. Beaudry critiques widespread biblical illiteracy and church compromise, warns about cultural and technological deceptions (AI, data centers, global financial controls) used to divide and deceiv
Pastor Rick Beaudry preaches from Ephesians 6:5-9, urging servants to serve with humility, wholeheartedness, honor, and hope; doing all work as unto the Lord and following Jesus’ example of servant leadership. He contrasts first-century Roman slavery with modern abuses, warns against pride and quitting, and exhorts us to be faithful in small things so God can open doors. Masters are called to be fair, friendly, and forgiving, treating employees as brothers and remembering their own Master in heaven. The message closes with prayer, a reminder of Christ’s sacrificial example, and an invitation t
Pastor Rick Beaudry preaches from Ephesians 6:4, calling fathers to not provoke their children but to raise them "in the nurture and admonition of the Lord," seeing fatherhood as both a priceless privilege and a sober responsibility. He outlines four fatherly duties: use restraint (be fair, avoid provoking or breaking a child’s spirit), use your riches (time, talent and provision to nourish body and soul), use the rod (biblical discipline and chasten with love), and use your relationship (model faith, read Scripture, pray and live authentically). Through personal stories about his father, chil
Pastor Rick Beaudry examines Ephesians 6:1–3, urging children to obey and honor their parents as an outworking of relationship with God, the right moral response, and a command with a promised blessing. He emphasizes the necessity of being "being filled with the Holy Spirit" so families (husbands, wives, fathers and children) can model Christ, resist cultural confusion and spiritual deception, and raise bold, obedient disciples. Using biblical examples (Joseph, Jacob, Daniel), personal stories and pastoral counsel, he addresses practical parenting, discipline, prayer for prodigals, and the lon
Pastor Rick Beaudry expounds Ephesians 5:25–33, calling husbands to love their wives as Christ loved the church and urging Spirit‑filled marriages that reflect Christ and the bride. He unpacks agape love with four characteristics: costly (sacrificial), cleansing (sanctifying by the Word), caring (nourishing and cherishing), and cleaving (lifelong oneness). Beaudry uses personal anecdotes about his wife Kathy and family to illustrate practical application. He warns against worldly influences, power struggles, and the erosion of marriage when the vertical (relationship with God) is neglected, pr
Pastor Rick Beaudry reads Ephesians 5:22–24 and teaches that spirit-filled wives submit to their husbands out of reverence for the Lord, enabled by the Holy Spirit. He outlines three reasons for this submission: reverence for Christ, a wife’s relationship with Christ (with the husband pictured as head as Christ is head of the church), and her responsibility before the Lord, while emphasizing mutual submission and the husband’s call to love sacrificially. Rick cautions that submission is not blind obedience. Wives must obey God rather than a husband who demands sin or abuses, and that the Spiri
Pastor Rick Beaudry exhorts continual, daily filling of the Holy Spirit as the antidote to living "after the flesh," contrasting Spirit-led life with drunkenness and worldly coping. He highlights practical fruit of being Spirit-filled: a celebrating heart (psalms, hymns, worship), a conquering heart that gives thanks amid trials, and a controlled heart that practices mutual submission, especially in marriage and parenting. Drawing on Pentecost and Acts as models of dunamis power and boldness, he also warns against counterfeit manifestations and the Christianizing of worldliness. The call is to
Pastor Rick Beaudry preaches from Ephesians 5:15–17, urging us to "walk circumspectly" by living orderly, opportunistically (redeeming the kairos), and obediently to God's will amid pervasive deception and cultural chaos. He warns of modern snares - from media and AI to globalist control and moral compromise - calling the church to sober discernment, repentance, and a fear-of-God wisdom grounded in Scripture. Using biblical examples and pastoral counsel, he presses us to be doers not mere hearers, to lay aside the weights that neutralize faith, and to seize the urgent opportunities for evangel
Pastor Rick Beaudry expounds 1 Peter 1:3–9, centering on the resurrection as a "living hope" that sustains believers through trial and transforms fear of death into rejoicing. He reviews the eyewitness resurrection appearances and prophetic fulfillment as grounds for confident, active faith, contrasting a risen Savior with other dead promises and modern pretenders. Beaudry outlines three blessings of Christ’s work - his resurrection, the reserved incorruptible inheritance in heaven, and our being kept by God’s power until his revealing - and emphasizes salvation as past, present, and future. H
Pastor Rick Beaudry preaches from Ephesians 5:8,14 on Palm Sunday, urging us to choose the light over darkness and to "walk as children of light," with no neutrality permitted. He outlines three marks of that walk—spiritual ripening and growth, reproving and exposing unfruitful works of darkness, and reflecting God's glory—calling us to abide in Christ, confess sin, and bear fruit in goodness, righteousness, and truth. Beaudry warns against cultural compromise, Laodicean apostasy, widespread deception, and the coming tribulation, exhorting discernment, Scripture-saturated living, and boldness
Pastor Rick Beaudry exposits Ephesians 5:1–7, urging us to be followers of God who imitate Christ and “walk in love” as he loved us, offering ourselves as living sacrifices. He contrasts children of light with children of darkness, calling believers to holiness (rejecting fornication, uncleanness, covetousness, filthiness, foolish talk and jesting) and to a life marked by forgiveness, obedience and gratitude. Through personal testimony (including his conversion and marriage to Kathy) and pastoral examples (prayers and care for James, Linda and Sally), he illustrates sacrificial love, contentme
Pastor Rick Beaudry expounds Ephesians 4:25–32, urging us to respond to God's kindness by putting off five sins (lying, uncontrolled anger, stealing, corrupt speech, and bitterness) and by being kind, tender‑hearted, and forgiving as God forgave us. He weaves personal stories (a family camp song from Twin Peaks) with biblical examples (Joseph, Jesus cleansing the temple, Stephen) and practical counsel for marriage, church life, and conflict resolution. Beaudry also warns about contemporary deceptions from propaganda and AI to political and cultural lies and calls us to rely on the Holy Spirit
Pastor Rick Beaudry preaches from Ephesians 4:17–24, using the image of new clothes to urge us to put off the old man and its garments of depravity, darkness, death, and degeneracy. He contrasts worldly emptiness, secular philosophies and church compromise with the life-changing power of Christ, calling us into a real relationship, repentance, renewal of mind, and recreation as a new creation clothed in righteousness and true holiness. Mixing candid anecdotes and cultural observations, he warns against conforming to the world, false teaching, and sexual immorality while encouraging vigilance,
