Spiritual Warfare is all about fighting our battles in the spirit instead of "in the flesh."

What makes Jesus a better and more perfect priest than all the human priests that have lived? Find out in today's sermon. But first we heard a testimony of how God spoke to Diana concerning the way she used politics. A timely message!

Today we had the awesome privilege of hosting one of the ministries WCC supports monthly--The Renovation House in Spencer, NY. These individuals are more than "in recovery." Their lives are being totally transformed by the power of God! Hear their testimonies.

Did you know that Christianity is spreading fastest in the countries where it's most dangerous to be a Christian? Find out why.

The Jewish nation just celebrated the Feast of Tabernacles; what is the spiritual meaning behind it for Christians, how did Jesus celebrate it in the New Testament, and why is it important for us to remember in this hour of our nation's history?

The Trespass Offering of Leviticus 5 and 6 had to do with sins against God and people. How important are relationships to God, and how seriously should we take it when we know we've hurt someone in any way?

Do you ever wonder how the sacrifices and offerings of the ancient Jewish system of the Old Testament holds any relevance for Christians today? Actually, they have huge spiritual significance for our relationships with God and people! In this sermon, we look at three of the five OT offerings: the Burnt Offering, the Grain Offering, and the Peace Offering.

Our friend Kurt Heisey shares a powerful message with insight into the meaning of courage.

The idea that God requires a blood sacrifice is offensive to a lot of people, and a part of Christianity many would rather ignore. In this message, we look at "Four C's" of Jesus' blood that help us understand the meaning and purpose of blood sacrifice.

Every structure and ritual in the Old Testament foreshadows something in the New Testament, and the Tabernacle (tent) in the wilderness was no different. Today we look at three truths this tent teaches us about our relationship with God.

You can tell a lot about a person by the place at which He wants to meet you. "Meet me at the Mercy Seat" is the message God gave to Moses, and is echoed at the Cross; God relates to us from mercy. May we never forget!

Jesus elevated the Ten Commandments in such a way as to show us we cannot possibly keep His higher law without the aid of the Holy Spirit.

Cuu Tran shares his testimony of recent coming to Christ, followed by a few thoughts on salvation from the book of Romans.

Exodus 19 describes the "terrifying" holiness of God, and this sermon is an attempt at reconciling God's love with the awesomeness of His holiness.

From Exodus 18 we learn important lessons on leadership, service and work. Moses would have crashed and burned had he not taken Jethro's advice.

In this teaching, Faith draws three parallels in scripture to show us how the manna of the wilderness symbolizes Jesus, our Bread of Life, and the Church, which is His Body. We are "bread" for each other, yet we hold each other with the same regard the Israelites held toward the mundane manna.

This message from Exodus 13-14 is about Israel crossing the Red Sea on dry land. When our enemy the devil pursues us from behind, and we see no way forward, we can either give in, fight in our own strength, or trust God to fight for us.

Anna Bogdan shares about her recent mission trip to Brazil and all that God has been doing in her life.

In Exodus 4 the people were so anxious and full of fear that they had, according to the original Hebrew translation, shortness of "breath" or "spirit."

In this short teaching, Faith points out three truths that water baptism signifies, all starting with the letter "B."

When God called Moses to be a great leader, Moses asked a common question: Who Am I? God didn't answer his question, but instead told Moses Who HE Himself was. That is the strongest basis for identity.

Do you ever wonder why some people, including Christians, never seem to get off "the treadmill" of discouragement and defeat? Or why some don't seem to ever hear God's voice? This passage from Exodus 3 gives us a clue as to why.

Moses' call to leadership was in the context of having committed a crime and running from the scene. His "doctorate of theology" took place over 40 years in a desert. This passage from Exodus 2 teaches us that God can use our most idiotic mistakes as "ministry preparation."

We continue in our journey through the Bible in Exodus 1, where we learn about the king "who did not know Joseph." What's it like to live in a world where you are not recognized and valued, but are judged on the basis of things that don't define who you actually are? It's hard! But the wonderful news is that there is a King Who knows you fully, and loves what He sees.

In this Palm Sunday message we are reminded that Jesus came as a very different Messiah than the kind the Jews were expecting; He is still, today, a very different kind of King than even many Christians want.

The famous "Woman at the Well" did something extraordinary; she left her water pot at the very well at which she came to satisfy her thirst. How might this act speak to us today?

Judah plays a very important role in the story of Joseph; his role as intercessor for his brother Benjamin foreshadows Jesus and sets an example of the kind of love God wants us to have for each other.

Matthew 18 contains a parable about forgiveness that gives us perspective on why we can forgive others.

Part of Joseph's "character formation" was learning how to deal with disappointment when it comes from people. This is one of the greatest tests of spiritual maturity!

As we look at the story of Joseph in Genesis, and the sudden "detour" his life took, it's important to keep three things in mind for ourselves when the unexpected happens.

In this New Year's message, Faith preaches from Revelation 3:7-8, with a message for the church, and for each of us personally.

In Genesis 32 Jacob is "greatly afraid and distressed." How does God respond? By challenging him to a wrestling match! Find out the meaning behind this strange account in scripture.

King David's three mighty warriors famously stood their ground while everyone around them fled in the face of difficulty. What can we learn from them? Pastor Dave tells us in this inspiring message.

In Mark 10:17 a young man is faced with his own answer to this question every believe needs to come to grips with: Is it worth it to follow Jesus?

Is there hope for those who've been "less loved" than they should be in life? We look to the story of Leah in Genesis 29.

In this powerful sermon our guest speaker, Pastor Peter DeArruda of NYSUM, uses a miraculous incident from Mark 2 to show us what is to be our whole approach to people who are "laid low" in any way. As a minister in NYC, Pastor Peter even points out that the immigration crisis is independent of and separate from the individual immigrant; how does God want the church to view and treat such people? We are to have an "uncommon" response!

While Jacob is on the run from a brother who wants to kill him, God shows up in a powerful and personal way.

In this sermon from Genesis 25 and 27, we see what was in Esau's heart concerning his inheritance, and connect his story to how we value our spiritual "birthright."

In this "talk" Faith gives a recap of a trip she and Dave took to visit a friend's church in Erie, PA. The experience was a reminder of what God really wants in a church.

In this stand alone podcast episode, Faith Bogdan interviews her daughter Sarah about her eye-opening experience looking for a home church when she went away to college. This was recorded in February, 2022.

Rebekah possessed a certain quality that made her God's choice for a bride for Isaac. This story parallels God's "search for a Bride" for His Son. What is Jesus looking for in a "Bride" (the church)?

Genesis 22 is one of the most disturbing stories in the Bible, and one that atheists commonly point to in their objections to Christianity. But understanding the context of Abraham's calling and relationship with God helps us understand why he could obey such a radical command by God.

In Genesis 16, Sarai thought her good idea was God's idea; we are still seeing the consequences to her mistake, played out on the world stage! What "good thing" are you contemplating that may not actually be a "God thing?"

Ruth and Rebecca Bogdan share a refreshing approach to evangelism, and tell us where the church gets it wrong, and how to correct our approach to, and view of, people.

What does circumcision in the Old Testament have to do with our relationship with God as New Testament believers? Today we take another look at Abraham and how his life connects with Christ and the Cross.

What do the split animals in Genesis 15, the split hoof in Deuteronomy 14, and the "warring natures" in Romans 7 teach us about our identity in Christ? How can this truth set us free from the guilt and condemnation that comes even after we've repented?

In this first lesson on the life of Abraham, we look at the covenant God made with him in Genesis 15. God alone was the responsible party in this promise agreement, but Abraham himself had four parts to play.

"The Lettuce People" is a sermon about the Tower of Babel. If Adam and Eve tried to "save" themselves through self-preservation, and Cain tried to "save" himself through self-effort, then the builders of this tower represent those who try to "save" themselves through self-glorification.

As we continue our journey through the Bible from Genesis to Revelation, we look at an old familiar story, Noah's Ark, but from a different angle. This sermon is a challenge to leave the past behind.

In this unique episode, Pastor Dave starts his sermon with a skit in which he enters the sanctuary wearing a 150-200 lb heavy equipment chain, voicing his woes about the bondage he is in. Use your imagination to picture the scene!
