Pastor Scott Craig takes through 2 Cor chapter 11. Paul makes the case that there ARE false apostles who do what they can to self-capitalize on the work of Jesus. Paul's service cost him much, just as the obedience of Jesus cost Him much. Serving the kingdom of God through Jesus requires staying faithful to the "word of God." Meaning not just what is on the printed page, but also being in line with the character of Jesus. Don't be deceived.

Pastor Walter Rasmussen delivers the lesson from the 2nd chapter of Malachi. Mixed marriages with pagans, unjust financial practices, and general spiritual apathy plagued the heart of God and He addressed it through the prophet Malachi. "God hates divorce" is also discussed in this lesson. The priests were not doing what they were supposed to do.

Evangelist Henry Matarrita presents the message of God's judgment for humanity's sin poured on Jesus. The cross was the convergence point. There WILL be only two outcomes for eternal life—one without Jesus and one with Him. The truth is, that God loved humanity as He created it. But, the devil convinced Eve and Adam to sin. That sin resulted in separation from God's love, so He devised a method for us to come back into His designed relationship with Him. JESUS. Jesus took the punishment that was supposed to be ours. https://landmarkcommunity.church/about-us/ https://landmarkcommunity.church/donate/ https://wmoutreach.org/ https://giving.myamplify.io//app/giving/wmo Image credit: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1683766414/the-passion-of-therealistic-christ Member CCLI

Pastor Walter Rasmussen brings clarity and hope to our Christian walk from the words of the Apostle Paul. {Declarations in description} Pride will prevent us from accepting God's word at face value. You are fearfully and wonderfully made. Ask God to help you stop comparing yourself to others. Look at your weaknesses as an opportunity for Christ's power to be upon you. Jesus told Paul “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Don't try to be as good as others, especially to the point where YOU take credit for what they did. God is not doing that, He compares what you do to what He gave you to do. IF you are going to boast, boast in what God has done. Make a big deal out of what God has done.

Pastor Scott Craig completes the last two verses of Zechariah. Pointing out that the prophet is pointing to the end times when Jesus returns and is acknowledged. Before the 400 years of silence from God to the children of Israel. The prophet Malachi delivers God's sentiments to the people. Like today, God yearns for the relationships with humanity that He designed from creation. He established parameters, explained them, and appointed priests to keep them at the forefront of the people's minds. But they didn't do that. https://landmarkcommunity.church/about-us/ https://landmarkcommunity.church/donate/

Pastor Scott Craig welcomes our friends Johnny and Gail Rowlett. Johnny's music and message are a blessing whenever you see this. God KNEW we, as humans, could not make it to Jesus and salvation on our own. Too many distractions, habits, and sins would get in our way. Too much dirt. So, in eternity past, the Triune God determined to get in the way of the Father of all Lies and do everything He could to make a way for us. Get us out of our way so we could see His way - and receive the gift of salvation. As part of the process, Jesus would take the hit determined for us so God could receive us. Share the fact that NOBODY has gone so far that God will not receive them, through Jesus.

Pastor Scott Craig brings the Apostle Paul's words into the public discourse we are experiencing today. Paul explains to the church of Corinth that the mission is to bring God's truth to bear. God's truths are in no way our creation, but His. As such, they have power. Power that no mere human can exert out of their own essence. Yet, because of our access to this power through Jesus, we can impact anything that arises against God's truth.

"E Pluribus Unum" in English "out of many, one" which is what Jesus wanted the disciples' mindset to be. Pastor Scott Craig uses John 17 to enhance our understanding of what it means to be "unified" with Jesus. The ruling religious leaders knew the scriptures, they knew the prophecies, and they knew Jesus. But they did not have incredible intimacy with God. Jesus left the disciples on earth, but before He did, He prayed for them. Prayed their strength and endurance to withstand the assault that will come to them BECAUSE they understood Jesus' teachings. Jesus desired them to impact the world with truth. To deliver the Good News despite the enemy's attacks to nullify the delivery. Eternity is a long time; help others to spend it with God by introducing them to Jesus. John 17:25-26 “Righteous Father, the world does not know you, but I know you; and these know that you have sent me. I made your name known to them, and I will make it known, so that the love with which you have loved me may be in them, and I in them.” https://landmarkcommunity.church/about-us/ https://landmarkcommunity.church/donate/ What happened on January 6, 2021? https://youtu.be/-KVrNBEhvwg

Pastor Scott Craig opens our understanding of Chapter 13 of the Book of Zechariah. God is not against government, He created it and the Bible shows the struggle between God, the people, and the government of Mammon. Remember it is the "kingdom" of God that culminates the end of the Bible. The continuous theme throughout the Bible is God bringing correction to His people when they do not follow His governing precepts instead they follow the governing principles of kings who worship idols. Anything could be an idol, even "good" things. God says, through the prophet Zechariah, that He will cut off the names of the idols. We should be mindful not to deny the supremacy of YHWH, who has a chosen relationship and promise with the nation of Israel. And by extension, we who are grafted in through the death and resurrection of Jesus the Messiah. The scriptures are aligning with what is happening today in 2024. The world denies the goodness of God's rules or precepts, favoring the deception of the times. The last 10 minutes or so could result in YouTube jail. Pastor calls out the WHO for the possibility of a new pandemic based on the protocols of the last one - vaccine included. Brace yourself, brace yourself, brace yourself. The Devil is on a mission to silence the followers of Jesus.

Shahram Hadian in Rapid City, SD on September 26, 2023, discusses this dilemma many Christians experience. This presentation was given at First Assembly Church. https://www.tilministry.com/about-shahram Pastor Shahram Hadian is the founder of Truth in Love Ministry, and is a sought-after speaker who travels around North America addressing critical issues facing us as believers and as Americans. A Christian pastor and former Muslim, Shahram was born in Iran, came to America to escape an oppressive Islamic regime and had a powerful conversion to Christianity in 1999. Shahram's unique background includes experience as a pastor, police officer, teacher, coach, and servant leader in his community. He was a candidate for the governor of WA State in 2012. Shahram passionately fights to: Safeguard religious liberty and the authority of the Word of God Defend 1st & 2nd Amendment rights as foundational to all other God given rights Champion the sanctity of life and marriage Protect our national security from enemies foreign and domestic Expose the growing deception of interfaith dialogue Guard our Constitution and rule of law from foreign law (including oppressive Shariah) Restore our Constitutional Republic Support the nation of Israel both politically and biblically Shahram proclaims that we need a courageous generation to rise up in defense of liberty and our God -given rights. America desperately needs revival back to her Judeo-Christian roots, and needs patriot, courageous pastors and Americans that will stand in the gap for our nation.

Pastor Scott Craig continues unpacking the prophecies of Zechariah. In chapter 12, the focus is on Israel and it's enemies and the day of the Lord. The other great "religion" is largely present by virtue of their most recent actions. The fingerprints of Satan are all over the antics of the world rulers toward the followers of Jesus. But we know the end and until it comes, we should practice what Paul states in Ephesians 6:10-18.
