Thanksgiving Harvest Dinner – November 20
It’s the time of year when the entire country celebrates a time of thanksgiving and most of them don’t even know who they are thanking for what.
Our annual Thanksgiving dinner is a time of celebration and worship to celebrate God’s provision, even in the leanest of times. Join us for this wonderful fellowship and time of worship and come prepared to share how God has provided for you, especially in the provision of His Son as propitiation for your sins.
6PM till whenever and bring your game, because there are a few Turkey Bowling Champs that need to be dethroned!

“The Conversation” A Dialog on Racism and the Church
History has been made and a new line has been crossed in America as several brothers in Christ have assembled with a National Audience to dialog on why racism still exists in the Church of Jesus Christ. There will be more information concerning this as our media group organizes very soon.
Our Goal: To shed light on the darkness of the sin of racism for the Glory of God by the light of the Gospel of Christ!
We know that unless God gives life to the dead heart of mankind that racism, among other sins, will continually be prevalent. So partner with us in this prayer that the gospel will go forth and the Holy Spirit will save the lost and regenerate the church with revival for what God loves: the NATIONS!
UPDATE: September 18th at Word Assembly 14th Street in Oakland, Town Hall Open Forum 6PM to 10PM Live on-air KFAX.com or 1100AM in the Bay.

Sunday Evening UnPlugged!
Every Sunday Evening at 5:30PM we have a time of learning going through the Gospel of John. Join us each Sunday for this superb time of experiencing Christ through the eyes of Scripture by the Disciple that Jesus Loved!
John 20:30-31 (ESV)
30 Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book; 31 but these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.

End Times Study
For everyone who always has questions about the “end” of time, our Wednesday evening class will give you a few answers. We are going through the Apocalypse in high gear and learning how to interpret biblical text.
Join us at 7PM each Wednesday evening for a super time in reading apocalyptic and end-times literature. The notes on this study will be available after the sessions are done. No audio exists due to the fact that this study is interactive and much dialog exists.

We spent 42 weeks on Sunday Morning for a journey through John’s First Letter. Here we discover the tree fold tests to assure our hearts that we are in fellowship with God, His son and each other in truth.
Learn, Live and Love!
God’s Holiness is the Display of His Intrinsic Worth!

CONFERENCE: The Heart of the Gospel: The Word was God and the Word became flesh

Dr. Edward L. Dalcour, President of the DEPARTMENT OF CHRISTIAN DEFENSE
Dr. Edward L. Dalcour, M.Apol., Ph.D., Takes an exegetical look at the Prologue of John: Defending the deity of Christ
In the Prologue of John (vv. 1-18), Dr. Dalcour will clearly reveal that Jesus Christ is fully God Almighty who became flesh. He will also show that John 1:1 exegetically refutes the assertions and denials of the deity of Christ made by cultic and false religions, thus making this text a very useful tool in our effort to evangelize them. The Prologue of John is rich with the doctrine of Jesus deity and also the doctrine of the Trinity.

Test of Sonship, NOT Test for Sonship
2 Timothy 2:15 (ESV) 15 Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth. This text has resonated with me over the last few months as I have considered why so many people work so hard to fight […]
