Staff Update

Ladies and Gentlemen, Our staff come to you today to address different things.   Our first thing has to do something our staff was notified about. A couple weeks ago we got notified about a situation that had to do with a staff member.  We will not be revealing any details but just pray that this person gains faith again and doesn't lose faith.  This person's anonymity will be taken seriously.   Our second update we have has to do with some things that were said by The Robloxian Christians. The "pastor" of the church started taking a Liberal stance on scriptures. Our staff strongly believe that he is unfit for a Pastoral role.  We strongly believe that he should step down.  If you have any prayer requests please contact our staff at the staff contact page. Thank You Prod1gal Church Pastoral Staff

Small Groups Week 1

"Fear No More"-King Of My Heart Verse: Deuteronomy 31:8 “He will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.” Questions: What does this verse say to you? Is God REALLY the King of your heart or is he just a friend you don't speak to? What are you afraid of? Devotional: Spiders, Snakes, Satan. What do all of these have in common? Besides the letter S, they are all fears. The bible tells us that we shouldn't be afraid since God will never leave you. There is so much different things on our heart at different times.  The question that should remain is that Is God REALLY the king of your heart? But what does that really mean? Are you focusing on God or are you focusing on something else? -DH

Devotional Day 7

Oh the overwhelming never ending RECKLESS LOVE OF GOD! The definition of Reckless as according to Webster's Dictionary is "marked by lack of proper caution  :  careless of consequences" So if that's the definition of Reckless so what is the song talking about?? First of all, I hear all the time people complaining about this song since the word Reckless. People say it is calling God reckless,  where do you see it calling God reckless? Here's the answer,  no where! If it was calling God Reckless then the song would be called "Reckless God" not "Reckless Love" But Pastor where in the bible does it show God's love as Reckless? Well,  if we look all over you will see the sign of recklessness. Let's go back to the definition of Reckless "marked by lack of proper caution  :  careless of consequences" CARELESS OF CONSEQUENCES! You will see in Luke 15:1-7 that God didn't care of the consequences! He knew that the devil w...

Devotional Day 6

To love God,  you also have to love people. Wow,  that is such a strong statement.  And believe it or not,  it's true! BUT here's the catch,  this is contradictory since in the bible it states to "Love the lord your God with all your heart,  with all your soul and with all your mind" But guess what,  right after that it reads "The second great command is just like this,  love your neighbor as yourself" Pastor, so I have to love the people across the street from me?? Yes and No, the word "neighbor" in this context means to love everyone. So what is it REALLY saying? It's saying to love everyone.  Yes,  there may be people you absolutely despise in your area,  but God says to love everyone.  Your challenge today is to love everyone no matter what.  Show them the love of God(Believe it or not,  the number one reason of why Atheists come to Christ is because of the love that they see). PRAYER: God you are good,...

Devotional Day 5

Yesterday we covered the most common #1 reason why Atheists become Atheists. That was Evidence. In today's study we will be covering the #2 reason which is faith. Faith is best defined as believing in something you can't see. In my work I hear all the time from Atheists that the reason that they don't believe is because they have no faith. So a good relatable thing to faith is the story of Lee Strobel. Strobel was a hardcore Atheist who claimed to "have no faith". But throughout the research that he was going through he figured out what faith actually is. Sometimes we may be low on faith. But when I hear atheists say they don't believe since they don't have faith.  I ask them,  do you believe in oxygen? Since we can't see oxygen but we believe it.  They always say yes,  that they believe in oxygen. PRAYER: Lord God,  I pray that you give me faith through the hard times.  Amen. SCRIPTURE: Matthew 8:26 NIV QUESTIONS: 1) Describe a time when ...

Devotional Day 4

In today's devotional we are going to be discussing the most common reasons why Atheists become Atheists. We will be taking different days to do this. Do know my job is to work with Unbelievers and do know I'm a former Atheist. Reason one: Evidence The most common reason why Atheists become Atheists is the lack of evidence which is also what had me into atheism.  But I found the evidence. Atheists believe that there is no God. A=Without Theist=God. If we look historically there is over 300 pieces of evidence for Jesus that is not taken out of the bible.  A reputable former Atheist is Lee Strobel. Strobel was a journalist for The Chicago Tribune and during his work he has covered thousands of stories. Lee was doing some research into Jesus and found the evidence but first didn't believe. But then he researched more into it. Lee's wife became a Christian and for awhile they were in a abusive relationship but God brought Lee to Christ. The key whenever we have friend...

Devotional Day 3

Believing God is good when life is not. Wow,  think about that real fast. Your going through troubles but your also believing God is good,  let's be truthful,  it's complicated to believe that. As we discussed yesterday that trials will happen but Jesus has overcome the trials(John 16:33) But how can we believe God is good when our life is in pieces? When we are depressed. When it seems like God has left us. Pastor Craig Groeschel of Life.Church understands.  He wrote a book on this topic called "Hope In The Dark: Believing God is good when life is not". Groeschel's own daughter Mandy has so much health problems that they have had to visit Mayo Clinic so many times that doctors can't find a cure. One of Groeschel's friends Adrianne she thought that life was on a mountain but then the devil invaded, her husband cheated on her with one of her close friends,  then her daughter got diagnosed with cancer and later died. How could Adrianne have Hope after...
