Jesus commands us in His Word to "love your neighbor as yourself." The real question is who is my neighbor? Is it just the person that lives next door to us, or is it the oppressed that live on the other side of the world? Join us as we welcome Joe Mann as he shares about his ministry with Destiny Rescue.
Ready, Not Ready
Jesus said that there were certain signs that will indicate the closeness of His return. But recognizing the signs and being ready for the close of the age are two very different things. In Jesus’ parable of the ten virgins, five young women are called “wise” and five, “foolish” based on their preparedness. How can we know with certainty that we are ready for the coming Day that is ahead?
Join us as Pastor Paul Mowery interviews Joe Mann, a missionary with Destiny Rescue. Destiny Rescue exists to Rescue, Restore, Protect, Empower and be a Voice for the Voiceless. Our vision is to see the sexual exploitation and trafficking of children end in our lifetime.

We have been reconciled to God and given new life through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. How does the fact God did everything to initiate reconciliation with us affect the way we pursue reconciliation when conflicts occur in the Body of Christ? Do we pursue justice, rights, or something altogether different?
God took the initiative to pursue reconciliation with us when He sent Jesus Christ as an ambassador to pay the penalty for our sin. More than that, He rose from the dead to give us new life and the opportunity to serve Him as ambassadors of reconciliation in a world drowning in conflict. This message from 2 Corinthians 5:11-6:2 encourages us to remember that as citizens of God's kingdom, we are called to respond to conflict in a radically different way ... a way that leads to reconciliation.
God will not always keep us from experiencing deep pain and loss but, if we are willing to turn to Him during these dark and uncertain times, we will eventually discover His all-sufficient grace and power to bring life and renewal. In 2 Kings 4:1-7, we are reminded that there is provision that can only be reached by an all-powerful, deeply loving God. And this divine provision is ultimately realized in the person and finished work of Jesus Christ.
Jesus reassured his disciples that when he returns from where they could not follow, “In that day, you will know that I am in the Father, and you are in me and I in you.” He then began to share with his disciples the allegorical parable of the True Vine. In John 15:1-8 we discover that apart from a vital relationship with Jesus we can do nothing, but in Christ, we can know the wonderful reality that we have been created to do good works.
