In this episode, we encourage you to surrender your problems to God, acknowledging that God’s will is always for your benefit. We highlight the importance of focusing on God’s love and trusting in His plan.

We want to offer guidance and comfort to those facing challenges in their
lives, emphasizing the importance of placing faith in God, asserting that God
is aware of and in control of everything.

God is always aware of our struggles and wants us to turn to Him for guidance
and support. No matter how big or small, nothing happens in our lives that He doesn't see. He has a plan for us, even when times are tough, and by trusting
in Him, we can find peace and freedom from our worries.

Have you ever had a situation when you didn't know what to do?

Have you ever had a problem that you thought was so big you did not
know howit could ever be solved?

Have you ever felt that no matter how hard you tried to explain something,
no one would understand?

Have you ever felt so discouraged that you felt as though the weights of the
world were upon your shoulders?

Have you been physically ill or near death ,and felt that you were at the point of
no return?

Has death knocked on the door of a friend or loved one unexpectedly?

Have you ever been persecuted, forsaken, maligned, misunderstood or
unappreciated?

If you have ever experienced one or more of these things, we have some great news for you! Nothing happens in your life that God is not aware of.

It’s important that you are careful of with whom you surround yourselves with. Careful of with whom, you share your innermost feelings and issues with.

Be careful of having a “Woe is Me” attitude, and sharing that with someone who will co-sign that feeling. The Bible says: “They that wait, or hope, in the Lord will renew their strength. They will mount up with wings like an eagle.”
You can’t soar with the eagles, if you’re running with the turkeys!

Take your burdens to the Lord. You can Put It All In His Hands.

In this episode we discuss the dwelling place of God. Specifically focusing on God dwelling within His people. We share information about the establishment of the first temple, built by King Solomon, as well as some of the exquisite places of worship we have visited around the world.

While these places can be dedicated to worship, and serve as gathering places for believers, God's true dwelling place is in the hearts of His people. God is not confined to physical structures like temples or church buildings.

One of our most memorable trips was to Athens, Greece and Istanbul, Turkey.
In Greece, we visited Mars Hill, the place spoken about in the book of Acts.
In Istanbul, Turkey we visited the ruins of the city of Ephesus, as well as the renown Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque.

Mars Hill was a place where people worshipped various idols. The Apostle Paul preached a sermon to remember, to the men of Athens on Mars Hill. He told them that in all things they were too superstitious. He saw an altar with this inscription, "TO THE UNKNOWN GOD", whom they ignorantly worshipped. Paul declared to them, that is the God that made the entire world, and that He does not dwell in Temples made by hands.

In the book of 1 Corinthians, Paul tells the Corinthian church " Don't you know that you yourselves are God's temple and that God's Spirit dwells in your midst?"

When discussing sexual immorality, Paul says in 1 Corinthians 6:19-20

"Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies."

When you accept Jesus Christ as your personal savior, your body becomes a temple for the Holy Spirit. He comes in and fills your temple. Treat your temple with reverence and respect, for it is a sacred space. Be mindful of what you do with your body. In the book of Romans, Paul says "to present your body as a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service"


Where the spirit of the Lord is there is liberty, however, don't use that liberty for a cloak of maliciousness. Listen to this episode, then check yourself. You wa

To God Be The Glory!

There have been many people calling themselves “prophets”, who have predicted the second coming of Christ, dating back to hundreds of years ago.

• 3 Christian Theologians predicted He would return in the year 500
• An Italian mystic said between 1200-1260
• A mathematician said He was coming at 8:00AM on Oct. 19, 1533
• Others said the years 1373, 1694, 1700, 1757, and the list goes on.

Some predictions were based on pure foolishness. In fact, one person used the size of Noah’s Ark in their calculation, predicting the year of the return of Christ.

The Bible states in the Book of Deuteronomy 18:22 “when a prophet speaketh in the name of the Lord, if the thing follow not nor come to pass, that is the thing that the Lord hath not spoken: "

Since their predictions didn't come true, they have all been “false prophets.”

There are also a number of people today, making predictions about when Christ will return. However, we know for a fact that their predictions are also incorrect, and they are also false prophets.

You ask how do we know this ? Well, we know it because Jesus said no man knows the day nor the hour when He is coming back, only the Father knows. So we suggest you not spend any time listening to their predictions.

However, we do know for sure that Jesus is coming back, because He said it, and his word is true. But its’ not for us to know the specific day or time.

Our message in this episode to believers, is that you live your life in a way that is pleasing to God. Live in such a way that believers as well as non-believers want to know more and more about this Jesus whom we say we love, speak, teach, and preach about. Jesus Christ is The Light of the World. Live life out loud, and be “Light Walkers”


Be Ready, Get Ready, and Stay Ready, for Christ Is Coming Back.

To God Be The Glory!

How often have you heard someone say, “That’s not fair, life is not fair, or God is not Fair”. What does it mean to be “fair”?

When we see tragedy occurring throughout the world, or we experience something in our life that hurts, we sometimes ask, “Why do bad things happen to good people?

In spite of what you see happening in our world, or in your life, know that your complete faith and trust must be in God. Nothing happens in our life unless God ordains it, or allows it. God is good, and know that whatever happens, he is working it for our good.

We are not the first generation to experience disasters, tragedy, or have suffered at the hands of someone with evil intentions. Oftentimes, God allows these things to happen because we are being disciplined, or its part of a greater plan.

For example, remember what happened to Joseph when his brothers threw him in the pit? They meant it for “evil”, but God allowed it to happen for “good”. Joseph went from the pit to the palace, so he could be in a position to help the people survive the famine.

There are many things our minds will never quite understand. When some of us see suffering, catastrophic events, or what is perceived as “unfair”, we are quick to say “Why doesn’t God do something?”. Actually, what you see happening, is God doing something for a greater purpose than we know. Rest assured, God still has everything under control.

God is not fair. He is absolutely Excellent! God is a just God.

In this Episode, we will look at a small book in the Bible, the book of Habakkuk (haa-buh-kuhk), It will help us answer the question, “Why Do Bad Things Happen To Good People”?

Ever wondered how a game of Checkers can mirror the rise and fall of kings?

Join us on Walking in the Light as Elders Randall and Deborrah K. Ogans explore the lives of King Saul and Abimelech, drawing profound lessons on leadership, power, and the consequences of ignoring God's wisdom.

This episode draws a fascinating parallel between the game of Checkers and real-life leadership. Just as in Checkers, where the goal is to become a king and gain almost unlimited power on the board, leaders in real life often strive for power and authority. However, as the stories of Saul and Abimelech reveal, the pursuit of power without adherence to God's wisdom can lead to downfall and disaster.

Through an engaging discussion, we uncover the importance of patience, repentance, and submission to God's will, emphasizing that Christ is the true King and that ethical leadership is paramount in the church, and in our political arena.

In this episode titled "King Me - Checkered Kings," we recount the disobedience of King Saul, which led to his downfall, and the ruthless ambition of Gideon's son Abimelech to become King, after the death of Gideon, that ended in violence and his demise. Discover how Gideon's victory was a testament to God's intervention and learn the tragic tale of Abimelech's treachery.

We conclude by highlighting the sovereignty of God, and true kingship, urging listeners to seek Him first and live in accordance with His will.

Tune in for a compelling narrative that encourages a balanced life filled with wisdom and faith, reflecting on personal and spiritual growth. Join us in walking in the light and glorifying God each day.

It's important to Know What You Believe, in respect to God The Father, Jesus Christ His Son, the Holy Spirit, and the Bible.

Through studying the Scriptures and applying their principles daily, we grow in our knowledge of God, fostering a relationship with Him, and solidifying our beliefs.

In this episode, we share some history of our upbringing in the Church, hearing and learning about God, which helped us gain godly wisdom, establish a firm foundation, and to be doers of the word.

Jesus said "Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock." Matthew 7:24-25

Our hope is built on nothing less than Jesus' blood and righteousness. On Christ the solid rock we stand, all other ground is sinking sand.

By truly knowing God and what you believe, you are better equipped to speak what you know, and to stand on His principles and promises, ensuring your faith remains unshaken by others' attempts to undermine it.

During this episode, we also take a look at the "Apostle's Creed". This creed dates back to the 6th Century and does an excellent job of summarizing what we believe.

We pray this episode will help you to "Know What YOU Believe".

Have you ever considered your life to be a work of art?

If you were to view an Abstract Painting by Picasso, your initial reaction might be
unfavorable, as you may not be able to understand and appreciate what he is conveying on the canvas, and his unique gift.

Our life picture can be quite like an "Abstract Painting". Difficult to understand. Especially to those who don't really know us. People usually fear what they don't understand, or tend to label it negatively.

In this episode, Elder DeBorrah K. Ogans will help you to look at your life as though you are looking at "Paint On The Canvas". She helps us to understand how the parenting we received, choices we make, and what we say and do each day, adds strokes and paint to our personal canvas, or life picture.

Know that your life is a work of art in progress. Let God make you a showcase of His beauty. You can become The Designer's Original.

In this Episode we continue to discuss the need to "Contend For The Faith", referencing the Book of Jude. In Part 1 we provided some history about Jude and his message warning about the false teachers that crept into the Church.

We also looked at some of the worldly practices that are prevalent in some churches today. Their leadership, organizational structure, and what occurs during worship, which mimics the world.

In Part 2 we continue to look at what Jude said about the "doom", or the "fate" of false teachers, as well as bring focus to the current events in our world and in our local churches. We are living in some perilous times today, a time of increased apostasy, a time when "good is called evil, and evil good".

This is why it is so important to know the Word of God for yourself. To build yourself up in the faith. To hold true to the faith and trust we have in the Lord!
Then you will be able to contend for the faith, and to snatch others from the fire.
