Triumph and Tribulation

Pastor Austin W. Duncan dives into the theological concept of 'The Great Tribulation' and the triumph of Jesus' return. Addressing one of the most profound yet neglected areas of Christian theology, he discusses the dual nature of tribulation—as a current experience and as a future event. By unpacking the signs, symbols, and teachings found in Scripture, we gain a clear and relevant understanding of end-times prophecy. This message not only provides a biblical foundation for the tribulation but also emphasizes the common thread that unites all believers: the eager expectation of Christ's imminent return, and living with an eternal perspective in the midst of our present realities.

Won't You Be My Neighbor?
Won't You Be My Neighbor?

In this present darkness we see in our world, it is far better to be a light, that others may be shown the way. And the wonderful, awe-inspiring thing is that it's not through our own strength that we be a light in a dark world, but through the strength of Christ. It can be so easy for us to look at Peter and think, "I would never deny Him three times like he did right in front of Jesus." But instead, what an incredible example and admirable trait to be able to say when Jesus asks, "do you love me?" to be able to say, "Lord, you know everything; you know that I love you."

Exposing the Golden Calf

When we own our sin and realize the sheer weight of it, when we dig down beyond the surface to the root of our sins and grasp the weight of it all - it magnifies what Christ did for us that much more.  Thank God that no matter our sins, we have a savior with which we can walk in joy.

Enough is Enough

What a marvelous joy it is to know the one and only God of Israel. The same God that heard and answered Elijah's prayers, the same God that brought the rain, is the same God that is with us today. What a marvelous joy the foundation before us upon which we can rebuild the altars in our heart, that He is with us every step of the way. When we find ourselves between two opinions, He's with us. If we stumble and find ourselves turned toward the way of the world, He's with us. When we turn toward Him and serve Him, He's with us.
