This weekend, we are moving forward through the book of 1 Peter. Peter is reminding his audience of the purpose of trials in this life.

Perspective by Pastor Abidan Shah
This weekend’s message is titled “PERSPECTIVE.” Paul told the Philippians that everything that happened to him, both good and bad, served to spread the gospel.

Redirected by Pastor Abidan Shah
We are all redirected by God. As we will explore in this weekend's message titled "Redirected," from Acts, door after door was closed to Paul. It would have been easy for him to lose heart. If Paul had another reaction to the closed doors, one of anger and bitterness, and had not waited, it would have been a bad situation.

Alive: What Jesus’ Resurrection Means for Us
Contrary to what many consider, the resurrection of Jesus is not some stale doctrine based on some event that took place 2000 years ago. In fact, it is one of the most applicable doctrine of Christianity.

HOW TO DEAL WITH THE FORBIDDEN FRUIT
It’s great to be back home in the Good Ole USA! As you know, Nicole and I went on an educational tour of Israel. Words cannot describe how amazing this trip was! To name just a few of the highlights --
we sailed across the Sea of Galilee,
- we stood on Har Megiddo (Armageddon) which will be the site of the final showdown,
- we drove through the wilderness where the children of Israel wandered for 40 years,
- we prayed by the Western Wall
- and, among many many other places, we saw the Mount of Temptation near Jericho in the Judean desert.
This weekend I will preaching on the temptation of Christ in our series on the life of Christ. The message is titled "HOW TO DEAL WITH THE FORBIDDEN FRUIT."
