How are you feeling? What questions come to your mind? Where does your mind go? Are you seeking safety? Would this have been an adrenaline rush as you raced to send the resignation response? What an "enhanced standard" regarding loyalty and trustworthiness was? What are these new "enhanced standards?" Are they beyond what my Constitutional oath requires?

I wonder if I speak to anyone that says, man, I need more peace. I need more rest in my soul. Pastor Ray Bentley points to where we can find real peace and rest for our souls.

3 days ago25:35

25:35

Jesus was in the heavenlies, reigning supreme, the creator of the universe. And yet, pastor Ray Bentley points out. Jesus chose to become a human being and walk among us.

And by dying and being perfect, he was able to rise, resurrect, and all who trust in him shall be led back to that former place of glory spread.…

It's a fact that God's children will rule and reign with him as kings and queens spread.…

6 days ago25:33

25:33

There's only one person allowed to be worshiped in all of heaven, and that is God. Pastor Ray Bentley says, God the Son is superior to angels. Angels worship Christ because they recognize him as of a totally different and superior nature to theirs. They are the servants of the father and the son. They are the winds and the flames fulfilling his purpose in spreading.…

Angels Worship Jesus • Hebrews 1 25:32

9 days ago25:32

25:32

f we could somehow pull back the veil separating this world from the spiritual world, we may be surprised at what we see. Pastor Ray Bentley, there's at least as many angels here as there are human beings. And as God's messengers, they can wield immense power. And we're going to share eternity with them. And yet, when compared to Jesus Christ, he is far superior.…

25:33

Sometimes when trials overwhelm, we want to just run away. Pastor Ray Bentley responds, I wonder if I speak to someone here this morning that is tempted to run away.

God's Love Catches a Runaway • Philemon 1 25:35

13 days ago25:35

25:35

Pastor Ray Bentley says. So many think in the give and take of love, it's better to take rather than be taken. That's the world's idea of love. It's very much a 5050. What are you going to do for me? What have you done for me lately? And that's why it falls apart so many times. There's no commitment. There's nothing there. That's not what the Bible says. Love is. Love is saying what is important to you is important to me.…

25:31

There's an undeniable relief having our sins forgiven. Pastor Ray Bentley explains what's going on. When you believe in Christ and ask Jesus in your life, the Holy Spirit comes in you.

The Gospel is Enough • Titus 1:10-16 • Part 2 25:31

19 days ago25:31

25:31

Pastor Ray Bentley says the gospel is sufficient to bring us into a productive relationship with God. Most people think that because they do not measure up, they are worthless to God.
