We Christians are supposed to be the body of Christ, but what does that mean for us today? We know that God has a specific plan for each and every one of us, but is it just specific plans or is there also a general plan for His Church?

In today’s world, there are two main enemies plaguing society. These two are two faces of the same coin. They go hand in hand: adultery and idolatry.

Each and every year we lose a little more freedoms. They’re subtle things such as renting instead of owning. Why do we give away freedom so freely and without thought? Is it because we never had to do anything to gain those freedoms? Join Reverend Kenny Yates as he reminds us of the cost of our freedom in his Independence Day message, Give Me Liberty.

Many people struggle with the concept of God. They can’t grasp how God can be a loving, merciful God if there is a place called hell. Many in the Church even struggle with the concept of the love of God because they believe God is just waiting for them to mess up so that He can punish them. If God is love, then is He loving God? Join Reverend Kenny Yates as he opens our eyes to the Truth in his message, The Steadfast Love of God.

Within the Trinity, there is the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. There is zero debate on the fact that the Father is God, but do we actually know what His role is in the Trinity?

God gave the Israelites seven feasts to observe. Some of these feasts have already been fulfilled, such as Passover and the Feast of Weeks, but what about the other feasts? The Feast of Weeks isn’t observed today by the Jewish people; instead, they observe Shavuot. What is Shavuot? Why don’t they observe the Feast of Weeks?

Today, phrases like ‘love is love, ’ ‘God understands,’ and ‘God just wants me to be happy’ have become more and more popular, and anything contradicting these statements has been deemed hate speech and evil. As culture continues to push the boundaries and blur the line between right and wrong, they use God to justify all of it. Does that mean that God is for them? They say they believe in Jesus, but does that alone save them? Join Reverend Kenny Yates as he opens our eyes to the state of the world and the Church in his message, A Broken And Contrite Heart.

The deity of Christ is one of the most debated topics in the Church. There are those who believe that because there is only one God, therefore, God has to be the Father alone and not Jesus, as Jesus was a man. But is that what the Bible says? Is Jesus God, or was He just a created being with a great purpose? Join Reverend Kenny Yates as he opens our eyes to key verses that are often overlooked in this pressing debate in his message, From Everlasting to Everlasting. Verses Used: Psalms 90:1-2 John 8:56-59 Matthew 6:9 John 10:24-30 John 10:31-39 Genesis 1:1 Deuteronomy 6:4 John 1:1-5 Numbers 23:19 Ephesians 3:5 Hosea 11:9 John 3:17 John 12:47 John 14:28 John 16:7 Hebrews 10:12 John 1:29-34 Matthew 8:2 Matthew 9:18 Matthew 14:33 Matthew 15:25 Matthew 20:20 John 20:28 Acts 4:11-12 John 6:68 Our Website: https://holdtohope.org/weekly-messages/from-everlasting-to-everlasting/ Our Telegram Channel: https://t.me/holdtohope Our Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/HoldToHope Music By: https://www.hooksounds.com

This Monday is Memorial Day. A solemn day of remembrance for our fallen soldiers who gave their lives for our freedom. This freedom is often the subject of debate. Many believe that their sacrifice, along with the Founding Father’s desires, was to keep Church and State separate, but is that true? What freedom did they die for?

The term Trinity is often used in the Christian community to describe God. Within the Trinity, you have the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Many people believe that this is a man-made belief as the term ‘Trinity’ is never used in the Bible. So, does that mean that there is no evidence for the Trinity in the Bible?

God created men and women equal but different. Our very chromosomes are different. This wasn’t so that there would be a clear ruler over the other but so that there would be balance. God endowed women with a maternal instinct. This instinct isn’t necessarily taught but something we are born with, and we develop and finetune over time. Join Reverend Kenny Yates as he opens our eyes to the attack on this God-given trait in his Mother’s Day message, A Mother’s Instincts.

The Church today struggles to see its prayers answered. We struggle to see God move in our lives and in our churches. Why is that? Has God changed, or are we missing something important in our prayer lives? Join Reverend Kenny Yates as he opens our eyes to the importance of desperate prayers in his message, Desperate For Jesus. Verses Used: Psalms 122:6-7 Matthew 24:15-16 Matthew 24:32-34 Deuteronomy 30:3 Isaiah 43:6 Ezekiel 36:24 Matthew 14:13-14 Matthew 13:57 Matthew 14:13 Mark 6:32-34 Matthew 14:14 Hebrews 11:6 Isaiah 53:5 (KJV) Matthew 11:12 John 10:27 Matthew 14:16 1 Samuel 15:22b (NIV) Lamentations 2:18-19 Acts 12:1-5 Matthew 20:32-34 Our Website: https://www.holdtohope.org/weekly-messages/desperate-for-jesus/ Our Telegram Channel: https://t.me/holdtohope Our Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/HoldToHope Music By: https://www.hooksounds.com

The disciples asked Jesus to teach them how to pray, but today, we define prayer as simply talking to God. Many of us talk to God, but it often feels and seems as though God doesn’t hear us. So, could it be that there is more to prayer than just talking to God? Join Reverend Kenny Yates as he opens our eyes to some reasons that our prayers may not have been answered in his message, The Importance of Prayers. Verses Used: Luke 11:5-13 Luke 11:1 Luke 11:2a Mark 7:24-30 Isaiah 53:5 Psalm 107:20 John 1:14 John 19:1 Matthew 17:21 (NKJV) Acts 6:4 Acts 5:12 Acts 3:6 (NKJV) 1 Peter 2:24 (NKJV) Luke 11:9-10 Mark 11:24 Acts 16:25-27 Luke 18:1-8 Proverbs 15:8 Matthew 3:8 Our Website: https://www.holdtohope.org/special-occasion-messages/the-importance-of-prayers/ Our Telegram Channel: https://t.me/holdtohope Our Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/HoldToHope Music By: https://www.hooksounds.com

The Feast of Passover is the precursor or forerunner of Easter. It was the very first instituted by God while His people were still in slavery in the land of Egypt. Though we’ve all heard about it, this specific feast is often very foreign to the Church.

The Lamb is mentioned a few times in the book of Revelation. The first time The Lamb is mentioned is when John, the apostle, sees the scroll with seven seals.

This upcoming week is the Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread. These two feasts have been combined into one feast that symbolizes and foreshadows the then-coming salvation offered to us through the sacrifice of our LORD and Savior, Jesus Christ. When we think about the Passover, we usually focus on the sacrificial lamb, but rarely do we focus on the unleavened bread, its meaning and symbolism.

Lucifer is often referred to as the Morning Star, but Jesus refers to Himself as the Bright Morning Star. Does this mean that they are both morning stars or that Jesus is claiming to be Lucifer?

With each generation, church attendance, bible reading, following Christ, and believing in Jesus and God decreases. Many believe that these are steps forward in progress away from the patriarchal oppression brought on by colonizers. Is that what Christianity is? Is it oppressive and has no place in our society today? Are we progressing as we separate Church and State by removing Church from every aspect of our lives? Join Reverend Kenny Yates as he opens our eyes to what is truly at stake in his message, Kiss The Son.

The crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus are two of the most revered days in history. Jesus was crucified alongside two thieves. Because it was the Day of Preparation, they didn’t want the men on the cross on the Sabbath; they asked Pilate to have their legs broken. When they got to Jesus, He was already dead, so His legs weren’t broken. This fulfilled many prophecies about Christ, but what was the significance? Why was it important that Jesus’ legs weren’t broken? Join Reverend Kenny Yates as he opens our eyes to the mystery behind this prophecy fulfilled in his Resurrection Sunday message, No Broken Bones.

Every year, we celebrate Jesus’ Triumphal (Triumphant) Entry into Jerusalem.
