In this sermon, Pastor Troy Billow illustrates how the world is in panic mode and frantically in search for a vaccine. And yet, people do not hold to the power of the one who has control over all of these things; our true "vaccine" with eternity factored in. Drawing from Exodus chapters 11 and 12, Pastor Troy shows how God used plagues to shake the worlds of those who were so set in their ways, and refused to turn to the one who ultimately had the power over it. And in the midst of this, Christ showed a shadow of His protection and power over these things in the midst of these plagues.

King David was a man whom the Bible said was "after God's own heart" (1 Samuel 13:14. Acts 13:22), but in a moment of temptation and lust he acted on his desires and his sin placed him in a situation where he fell trap to other transgressions as a result. Did God give up on Him? No. So how could David do such things and still be called a man after God's own heart?  As believers today, we may find ourselves in situations similar to David's but two things stand out. 1. We have a position in Christ, and 2. We have our lifestyle in Christ. Sometimes the two do not align, and one is in one direction, and the other may be way out in the opposite direction. In this message, Pastor John addresses how to, if you are experiencing such a disconnect yourself, how you can get back on track and get things back in order again.

Why does God allow pandemics, or turmoil and strife? In this message, Pastor Troy Billow lays out the case that in HIs mercy, God is allowing these things to get people to humble themselves, repent, focus on, and rely on God. Using King David as an example of this dynamic in motion, God wants to heal things, but he wants us to learn from dangers like these and act on what we've learned by coming to Him and trusting Him to change things, and our hearts.

In delivering a live version of "Heavenly Father", Pastor Troy shares powerful additional insights into the love our Heavenly Father has for us, and gets us to think about the notion in a deep and dynamic way.

Whether you were an individual who grew up with a loving father, or you grew up with no father, a mean father, a father who caused you some kind of pain, or a father who abandoned you, there is a Heavenly Father who loves you, who cares about you, and wants to be intimately involved in your life. Drawing from Jesus's story of "The Prodigal Son" in Luke chapter 15, Jesus explains how the love of our Heavenly Father graciously reaches out to us, even in the midst of a rebellious and distant life away from Him. In this special Fathers Day message, Pastor Troy explains what lengths this Father took to win you over, and how he waits for and celebrates those who decide to come home to Him.

In the midst of this broken world system that seems to be disintegrating all around us - we are called to be a voice for the Gospel and to look forward to the Kingdom of God.

In matters of pandemics and potential threats to our physical health, it is easy to ignore the state of our spiritual health. But it is in spiritual healing that Christ has the power to heal you in ways that it impacts you physically.
