The Exodus: God's Hand in History
Countless individuals have postulated that the Biblical record of the exodus of the children of Israel could not have occurred, therefore completely discounting most of the ancient record. The problem is that there’s an abundant amount of evidence: historical, archaeological and many infallible proofs, that demand to be looked at; enough for any doubter to reexamine the Bible with a different set of eyes.

How Christians Should Understand the Law

How Christians Should Understand the Law
This is the companion message to The Ten Commandments: Like It or Not. It’s important for Christians to learn how to understand the Old Testament law so we don’t get sucked into thinking we should be performing it. Under the law, God demanded righteousness from people. But under grace, we see something completely different. We can’t say the law was bad, but we have to understand it in context of the New Testament scriptures, which this message takes us through.

The Ten Commandments: Like It or Not
It’s very important to study the Ten Commandments, not as a list of rules to follow, but as a revelation of God’s divine character and nature to a people He chose to save. Through them, God was sending a very clear message: this is how you’re going to relate to Me and to one another. They are not just words to the children of Israel. They are words to us today.

God Intended a Stewardship of His Word
God chose the children of Israel, and He gave them instructions for how to relate to Him and to their fellow man. He intended them to be custodians of His word and to spread it across the face of the earth, but they did not obey Him, so He turned to the Gentiles. Now He has set us apart to keep this stewardship.

What Is the Distinction between Israelites and Hebrews?
There is a clear distinction between “Israelites” and “Hebrews” in the Bible and secular writings from antiquity. It’s a mistake to homogenize the two. It’s also a mistake to extrapolate from the Exodus passages that either Hebrews or Israelites were practicing Judaism at this time. Judaism did not exist yet, and a careful examination of the life of Moses and his family history will clear up a lot of the confusion that surrounds this topic.

The Battle is Won By Faith
The children of Israel were attacked by Amalek for seemingly no reason. This was their first challenge from an outside force. They prevailed against Amalek by the faith of their leader Moses who interceded on their behalf, raising his hands to the throne of God with Aaron and Hur holding up his arms whenever he tired. Victory did not come by any skill or strength of the people. The battle was won through God as their banner, Jehovah Nissi. Today Christ is our banner held up for us at Calvary. We are to look to Him and by faith we will overcome those who try to destroy us. VF-2513 Exodus 17 Watch, Listen and Learn 24x7 at Pastor Melissa Scott teaches from Faith Center in Glendale.

The life of the Christian is comprised of times of joy and times of bitterness.

The Rich Man and Lazarus
10/17/2025
The Rich Man and Lazarus
When Jesus cursed cities that had seen His miracles and not repented, He said that it would be worse for them than for Gentiles that had not known God. Most religions have some concept of hell and eternal punishment, but we can look directly to what Christ said. In the parable of the rich man and Lazarus, the rich man ended up in a place of separation and torment, whereas Lazarus was taken to heaven by angels. The right starting point for the Christian is not to ask how to avoid going to hell but to begin a right relationship with God, following and trusting Christ.

From Hopelessness to Earnest Desire for God
10/14/2025
From Hopelessness to Earnest Desire for God
The word “desperate” has two meanings in English: the etymological meaning of the hopelessness and the more modern meaning of strongly desiring. Both of these senses occur in several spiritual vignettes in the Bible of people desperate for healing from God. Christians can become hopeless, but with God all things are possible. Our strength comes from Him, and our focus should be on Him, in praise. There is no problem that God cannot fix.

Salvation Available to Every Dying Thief
10/13/2025
Salvation Available to Every Dying Thief
There are only two types of people: those who recognize their need for Christ’s saving power and those who don't. The thief on the cross embodies this. Recognizing that he deserved to die and that Christ did not, he said, “Lord, remember me.” For this simple faith, Christ promised that he would be with Him in heaven that very day, making the thief on the cross His last earthly companion and His first heavenly companion.

God Is Still Calling Outcasts
