Israel, the End Times, and the Second Coming

Scripture contains many prophecies and signs of the end times, including wars and shifts in the economy. We must watch and pray so that we know what God wants us to do in these last days. The Church will see a crescendo! We should not let our hearts be troubled. Understanding the end times impacts how we spend our days, how we talk to people, and how we view world events, especially in Israel.

Following the Presence of God

Under the Old Covenant God made it simple to follow Him: move when I do, rest when I do. It’s also simple under the New Covenant: His presence is in our spirits through His Holy Spirit, so we can follow His leading on the inside. The Holy Spirit only leads us toward what is good. And if we stray, He redirects us back to His plan. Following His presence is listening to His presence within you!

Our Inheritance of Peace

Jesus said, “My peace I leave with you.” We can trust this 100%. His peace doesn’t depend on circumstances. But to enjoy His perfect peace, we must watch over our thought life. Troubling thoughts may come, difficult circumstances may arise, rumors and evil speech may surround us, but if we stay single-minded and focused on His Word, we can enjoy that perfect peace He gave us.

Receiving the Gift of a Pastor

A pastor is a gift from God that every believer needs! If we receive and honor the gift of a pastor as one sent from God, we’ll receive His reward — such as wisdom, direction, and correction. Receiving our pastor’s teaching (if he is speaking the Word) is like receiving from God! And if we gather with the pastor, we are gathering with the Lord. Pastors who speak the truth prepare us for the Lord’s return!

Signs of the End Times

Rev. Joel walks us through key signs given in Scripture. Jesus said we must watch for — and understand — the signs of the end times. Understanding them helps us prepare ourselves for His coming and bring in the harvest. We shouldn’t fear the end-time events, such as wars, economic shifts, pandemics, and scientific experimentation. Instead, understand their meaning, and then, as Jesus said, “Look up, your redemption is near!” (Luke 21:28).

Nuggets of Faith, Prayer, and Healing

Rev. Joel Baker describes the fruit God is bringing in Montenegro, where Joel and his wife, Nicola, are missionaries. People are receiving Christ, being healed and delivered, and getting on fire for Jesus! We must pray urgently to bring in the harvest. Rev. Joel also explains the meanings of some Hebrew words and Biblical symbolism. The details of the Cross, and events leading up to it, are all prophesied in the Old Testament.

The Importance of a Pastor

Every believer needs a pastor. Pastors are like parents: they feed us so we grow up, help us recover when we’re sick, and answer our questions. A child can’t grow up by himself; likewise with a believer. We can help our pastors fulfill God’s vision by participating, pulling on their gifts, investing in the local body, and serving in the ministry of helps. And we help our pastors by praying for them!

Speak the Vision and Make It Plain

Our vision is: 1) help people discover Jesus and get saved. 2) help the Body grow up, with renewed minds, health, and prosperity. 3) equip believers to reach people with the Gospel. We are a Word and Spirit church: the Word is the foundation, and moves of the Spirit are rooted in Scripture. Our church vision mirrors the four Gospels and Book of Acts. Members have different roles, but we all share the same vision!
