Incredible New Christian Movie. This is one of the most encouraging films I have seen, it will encourage your faith as well as challenge you to talk to the people around us every day. I was hooked from the first five minutes and have been waiting anxiously for it to be released in order for everyone to see!
This message, by Pastor Mike Focht, is a great encouragement to anyone that has fears or questions about heaven.
Mike Focht and Ryan Ries both grew up around church their whole lives, but their stories are very different. They choose different paths growing up but it is amazing to see how the Lord was faithful to each one. There is an encouragement to those who are growing as well as to those who are prodigals.
The story of the two thieves that were crucified next to Jesus has always been fascinating. Listen as Pastor Joe describes how one of the men went from a criminal and a blasphemer to being in Heaven by the end of that day. It is an encouragement to us all that God can work even in the most unlikely of ways.
Now is the time for us to take these things seriously and respond as the Lord would direct. During second and third services, many were stirred up, and responded by coming forward to the stage during the closing song. We invite you to watch the message this week and seek the Lord for how he would have you respond. Be blessed!
As part of a Sunday morning teaching, Pastor Joe read a few paragraphs from an account of the sinking of the Titanic – and the record of what happened has some important challenges for us as believers. Enjoy this video clip of the reading.
