An in-depth study of Nehemiah 1-2:10.

There are many opinions about the modern State of Israel. Are they committing genocide in Gaza? Have they been replaced by the Church regarding the promises of God?

These questions and more are answered in a frank discussion between Pastor Gary Hamrick and U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee on location at the TBN studios in Jerusalem.

An in-depth study of Hebrews 1:1-14.

Does God still speak to us? Why does it seem like God spoke audibly to people in the Bible but not to us? Why can’t I hear Him speak to me? In today’s Bible study, Pastor Austin unpacks these questions in a message entitled “What Turns Down the Volume of God’s Voice?"

An in-depth study of Ezra 8-10.

The Bible teaches that, at any moment, God could sound a “trumpet” and physically snatch Christians from the earth just prior to the tribulation. This is known as “the rapture.” The Bible teaches that the first phase of the second coming of Christ is when He comes in the clouds to gather Christians from the earth. There is a generation that will not experience death but will be snatched up to be with Jesus forever. Are you ready for the rapture? Find out in today’s teaching how you can be ready!

An in-depth study of Ezra 7.

How much do you love people who don’t know Jesus? Because Jesus is coming again, our hearts should break for people who are not ready. In the closing verses of 1 Thessalonians 3, Paul prayed that our love would “increase” and “abound” for one another and for all as we wait for the second coming of Christ. Follow along as Pastor Gary explains four practical ways to demonstrate God’s love to others.

An in-depth study of Ezra 5-6.

Sen. Josh Hawley, U.S. senator from Missouri, shares God’s Word today from Acts 13. He challenges us to be “set apart” for God, and to be His ambassadors in every aspect of life and culture. Sen.

An in-depth study of Ezra 4-5.

An in-depth study of Ezra 1.

The book of 1 Thessalonians deals with a major theme: the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.

In today’s teaching, Pastor Gary expounds on 1 Thessalonians 1:10 and how we will be “delivered . . . from the wrath to come” (KJV).

An in-depth study of 2 Chronicles 35-36.

A Christian’s conduct and speech have a direct impact on non-believers who are watching and listening. How well do we reflect Christ? How much does our witness draw people to Jesus? In today’s teaching, Pastor Gary highlights some of Paul’s closing remarks to the church in Colosse that challenge us about how to witness to non-believers.

An in-depth study of 2 Chronicles 34.

Slavery has unfortunately been common in many civilizations, including the Roman Empire during the first century A.D. But Paul gave instructions to both slaves and masters, elevating “bondservants” to equal status within the body of Christ. Then he used the same term “bondservant” to describe himself in his relationship with Jesus. The Bible encourages all of us to understand what it means to live a surrendered life to Jesus, our Master. Join Pastor Gary as he shares the historical and practical application of what it means to be a “bondservant of Jesus Christ.”

An in-depth study of 2 Chronicles 33:1-34:7.

Marriage was ordained by God between one man and one woman. But if God ordained marriage, why does it seem so difficult at times?

The Helms Triplets went from ordinary teens to nearly 1 million Instagram followers by boldly sharing Jesus online. Pastor Gary sits down with them to hear how it started, what it’s really like, and how God is using social media to reach their generation.

Although we exist on the horizontal (earth), the Bible encourages us to have our minds set on the vertical (heaven). Believers in Jesus are called to have an eternal perspective: to “put off” the old, sinful ways and to “put on” the new, godly traits of Christ. Among all the godly traits Paul tells us to “put on,” there is one trait that we are told to do as Christ has done for us. Pastor Gary shares about this one trait—among the other lessons of Colossians 3—in today’s study titled, “Vertical Living in a Horizontal World.”

An in-depth study of 2 Chronicles 30:1-31:7.

There were three issues that plagued the church in Colosse that Paul addressed in Colossians 2: Judgmentalism, Hyper-Spiritualism, and Legalism. Pastor Gary defines these things and then challenges us to make sure these issues don’t define us or the church today.

An in-depth study of 2 Chronicles 29.

Repent! This is a word many of us are familiar with but few of us understand how it applies to our lives.

What are the results of repentance? Join us today to learn more.

An in-depth study of 2 Chronicles 27-28.

What does a healthy, Christ-centered church really look like? In this message from Acts 2, Pastor Andy Wagner explores how the early church devoted themselves to God’s Word, fellowship, communion, and prayer—and how those same disciplines help us grow spiritually, overcome life’s challenges, and become more like Jesus.

What does the Bible say about happiness? Is true joy found in success, money, relationships, or something deeper? Pastor Brian walks through Matthew 5 to help us find the answer.

Join us in celebrating America's 250th Anniversary with Eric Metaxes as he walks through the history of the American Revolution and how God was at the center of it all.

It’s not important how well you start but how well you finish. Uzziah, the second longest reigning king in Judah’s history, started well but had a very tragic end to his life. Let's learn from Uzziah’s failure and finish well to the glory of God.

We are living in strange, exciting times before the second coming of Christ. In recent years, the UFO/alien phenomena have been on news headlines everywhere like never before and disclosure is happening. The Apostle Paul mentions in 2 Thessalonians 2 that lawlessness is already at work secretly behind the scenes. The Apostle John tells us in 1 John 4 that we as believers are to test spirits to see if they are of God or not. Could all this be connected as we get closer to the return of Jesus Christ? The believer needs to be equipped with God’s Word and seek discernment from Him to know what is the spirit of truth verses the spirit of deception.

King Amaziah was considered a man who did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, but not wholeheartedly. This half-hearted devotion would lead to the sad end of the life and reign of Amaziah. Let’s learn from his failures and be people who wholeheartedly follow after Jesus.

In John 3, Jesus has an encounter with an influential, religious elite named Nicodemus. Nicodemus represents many of us today - religious, influential, educated, and yet all of this is still not enough to be right with God and see the kingdom of God. Jesus is clear that one must be born again. What does it mean to be born again? Join us today to learn more.

An in-depth study of 2 Chronicles 23-24.

No person, possession, career, talent, spouse or anything is this world can complete us except Jesus. He is the only one who can fulfill the deepest longings of our soul. As Paul wrote in Colossians 2:10, “You are complete in Christ.” Join Pastor Gary for today’s study about how Jesus completes us.

An in-depth study of 2 Chronicles 20:21-22:12.

Our world is influenced by what Paul calls “the traditions of men” and “the basic principles of this world” that are often contrary to Scripture. The worldly influence threatens a person’s walk with Christ, and more broadly, the Church itself. What were the things of Paul’s day that he was warning the church at Colosse about, and how does this translate to what threatens the Church today? Pastor Gary mentions the cultural issues, but focuses primarily on the worldly philosophies and aberrant doctrines that have slipped into the Church.

An in-depth study of 2 Chronicles 18:28-20:21.

Everyone is touched by suffering to some degree at some point in their lives. It is the natural result of living in a sin-filled world with pain and sorrow. Some even question the God's existence or goodness because they wonder how a good God could allow such pain and suffering in the world. Pastor Gary addresses these questions and offers encouragement in today’s message to those who are suffering.

An in-depth study of 2 Chronicles 17-18.

Ever since the fall of man (when man sinned against God) in the Garden of Eden, mankind has been estranged from God. But what was broken by man in the Garden was reconciled by God on the cross! God pursued us to restore that relationship through the sacrifice of Jesus. He invites us to be reconciled to Him and then to spread the message of reconciliation to others. What does all this mean? Find out in today’s study with Pastor Gary Hamrick.

An in-depth study of 2 Chronicles 15-16.

The Bible explains the existence of two kingdoms—the kingdom of LIGHT and the kingdom of DARKNESS. Every person in the world belongs to one of those kingdoms. Pastor Gary describes the territory of those kingdoms and what defines them. They are not earthly kingdoms, but they are real, spiritual dominions. The question is, to which kingdom do you belong?

An in-depth study of 2 Chronicles 4:9-6:21.

Human nature is generally discontent. We crave things that are newer and better, the latest and greatest. Companies launch major ad campaigns to convince customers and clients that their products or services are “new and improved.” After all, who wants “old and familiar”? But the Bible cautions against always desiring something better and instead encourages us to be content no matter the circumstances. Find out in today’s study how to be content in a discontent world as Pastor Gary walks us through the closing verses of the book of Philippians.

An in-depth study of 2 Chronicles 3-4.

Many people believe that Jesus existed. Many even believe that He did miracles, died, and rose from the dead. Yet still, many might wonder, “Why is this relevant to me?” In today’s message, Pastor Gary offers four reasons why the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus should matter to you. If you’ve ever wondered how God could love, forgive, and save you, you will be encouraged by today’s message from John 20.

Pastor Gary Hamrick sits down with Pastor Lon Solomon to discuss the true meaning of the Passover.

In this Palm Sunday message from Luke 19, Pastor David Guzik looks at the story of Zacchaeus and discovers the difference between a superficial response to Jesus and a sincere, life-changing one. Be encouraged to seek Him, receive Him joyfully, and welcome Him fully into your life.

In 2 Chronicles 1–2, Solomon begins with humility, asking God for wisdom—but his story quickly becomes a warning about how little compromises can lead to devastating consequences. This message encourages us to walk in obedience, steward God’s blessings faithfully, and live in a way that points others to Him.

Many people suffer from anxious, fearful, or worrisome thoughts. Life can bombard and overwhelm us at times. How can we find relief from troubling thoughts and fears?

Is your name written in the Book of Life? The Book of Life is mentioned eight times in the New Testament (once in Philippians and seven times in Revelation). The Bible teaches that this book lists all the names of people who are going to spend eternity in heaven with Jesus. If your name is not in the book, you will be denied access to heaven. So how can you be sure your name will be listed in the Book of Life? Find out in today’s study from Philippians 4 with Pastor Gary.

Join us for a special Midweek Q&A night where Pastor Gary, Tyler, & Austin Hamrick do their best to answer your Bible Questions!

Paul compares the Christian life to that of running a race. It’s an appropriate analogy because there is a starting line (when you accept Christ), a finish line (when you step from this life into eternity), and a prize at the end (heaven). Some have gotten off to a late start, others have had a slow start, and all of us have stumbled at some point along the race. But the only thing that matters is finishing well! In Philippians 3, Paul outlines three things to encourage us to run with endurance and to finish well.

An in-depth discussion of 1 Chronicles 24:20-29:30.

Most people pursue things that bring them happiness or pleasure in this lifetime: accomplishments, awards, degrees, rank, money, likes and followers. But at the end of the day, nothing compares to knowing Jesus! In Philippians 3, Paul wrote about all his many accomplishments and accolades that he achieved in his lifetime, but he said it was all “rubbish” (dung) compared to the excellence of knowing Christ! Do you know Jesus? There’s a difference between knowing “about” Jesus and knowing Him personally. Pastor Gary explains this in today’s study titled, “Nothing Compares to Jesus!”

An in-depth study of 1 Chronicles 22-24.

Did you know that God is revealing Himself to you on a daily basis? In Psalm 19, David explains how the Lord reveals Himself predominantly in two ways-through creation and His Word. God’s voice compels David to respond by helping him recognize his own sinful condition. Do you recognize God's voice when He speaks? Join us as Pastor Austin unpacks Psalm 19.

An in-depth study of 1 Chronicles 20:4-21:30.

An in-depth study of 1 Chronicles 17:15-20:3.

An in-depth study of 1 Chronicles 16:8-17:14.

Have you ever thought about heaven and wanted to go there sooner than later? Paul wrote in Philippians 1:21, “For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain.” He didn’t have a “death wish” with dark thoughts of wanting to escape this world; he simply longed for heaven and was ready to go whenever God called him home. Sometimes the weight of this world can cause our heavy hearts to long for our eternal reward. Find out more about heaven in today’s study with Pastor Gary Hamrick.

An in-depth study of 1 Chronicles 16.

Antisemitism and anti-Israel views are creeping into Christian and conservative communities. Pastor Gary Hamrick, along with guests Pastor Rob McCoy, Samuel Smadja, and former Congressman Bob McEwen, delivers a Biblical response to replacement theology, US support for Israel, the October 7th attacks, and the takes from Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson. Watch this timely message to understand the real issues and stand firm in truth!

Sometimes we think that God is absent during our difficult circumstances. Paul was “in chains” in prison in Rome for preaching the Gospel, yet he wrote about how much joy he had! How can someone in prison have such joy? Answer: because his joy was in Jesus and he understood that, regardless of his circumstances, God was accomplishing His divine purposes. That is why Paul would write in Philippians 1:13, “my chains are in Christ.” In today’s study, Pastor Gary shares how we can have joy in our difficult circumstances too with the right eternal perspective.
