Ask for the Old Paths–Part 14: And You Shall Be Like God, part 2

Then the serpent said to the woman, "You will not surely die. For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil." Genesis 3:4-5

Barna Research Poll: 58% of all Americans surveyed agreed that ‘identifying moral truth’ is up to each individual; there are no moral absolutes that apply to everyone, all the time. American culture has descended into the decadence of Israel during the evil days of the Book of Judges... In those days there was no king in Israel; everyone did what was right in his own eyes. Judges 21:25

We hope you enjoy Pastor Ray's prophetic analysis of what ails us and how we can turn it around in Part 2 of the message, "And You Shall Be Like God".

Ask for the Old Paths–Part 13: And You Shall Be Like God

By: Pastor Ray McCollum
Series: Ask For the Old Ways
And you will be like God, knowing good and evil... Genesis 3:4

Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight! Isaiah 5:20-21

Nothing proves the depravity of our anti-Christian culture more than how it is seeking to redefine good and evil apart from the revelation of God.

We hope you enjoy as Pastor Ray reveals how the same sin that separated the human race from its Creator is being repeated today and what we must do to turn it around.

Ask for the Old Paths–Part 12: Contending for the Faith

By: Pastor Ray McCollum
Series: Ask For the Old Ways
Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once for all delivered unto the saints. Jude 3

One of the causes for the current critical condition of our country has been the Church's failure to contend for the Christian faith our fathers entrusted to us.
But the tide is about to turn.

We hope you enjoy as Pastor Ray continues our "Ask for the Old Paths" series with a compelling message entitled, "Contending for the Faith".

Ask for the Old Paths: Part 11 – Bringing Back the Glory

By: Pastor Ray McCollum
Series: Ask For the Old Ways
The anger of the Lord our God burst out against us because we failed to ask God how to move it properly…after the due order.
1 Chronicles 15:13

Even the great King David failed in his first attempt to restore the Ark of God's glory to Israel. He made the same mistake many American churches are making today.

We hope you enjoy as Pastor Ray continues our "Ask For The Old Paths" series with a powerful prophetic message on "Bringing Back The Glory".

Ask for the Old Paths: Part 10 – Restoring Generational Connections, part 3

By: Pastor Ray McCollum
Series: Ask For the Old Ways
Before God would allow Israel to fight its first battle for their Promised Land, He commanded Joshua to undertake a task that would restore the generational connection that had been lost by their fathers in the wilderness. A similar assignment now falls upon the spiritual fathers of our own day!

We hope you can be with us this weekend for the conclusion of Pastor Ray's teaching series, "Restoring Generational Connections".

By: Pastor Ray McCollum
Series: Ask For the Old Ways
Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord. And he will turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers, or else I will come and strike the land with a curse. ~Malachi 4:5-6
God's word tells us that generational connection brings God's blessing but generational disconnection brings a curse. But what many don't realize is that generational connections can only succeed where there is honor and will always fail where there is dishonor. We hope you enjoy Part 2 of Pastor Ray's message on "Restoring Generational Connections".

Series: Ask For the Old Ways
Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord. And he will turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers, or else I will come and strike the land with a curse. ~Malachi 4:5-6
Before Christ comes down, an ‘Elijah’ ministry must rise up to restore the generational connections that release the covenental blessings of God upon the land. We hope you can be with us this weekend for Part 8 of Pastor Ray's "Ask for the Old Paths" series, "Restoring Generational Connections".

Series: Ask For the Old Ways
Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord. And he will turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers, or else I will come and strike the land with a curse. ~Malachi 4:5-6

Before Christ comes down, an ‘Elijah’ ministry must rise up, preparing the way of the Lord by restoring the generational connection between the fathers and their children.

We hope you can be with us this weekend for Pastor Ray's message , "Restoring Generational Connections".

ASK FOR THE OLD PATHS: Part 6–Cheap Grace

By: Pastor Ray McCollum
Series: Ask For the Old Ways
"Cheap grace is the deadly enemy of the Church. It has been the ruin of more Christians than any commandment of works." ~Dietrich Bonhoeffer

This great Lutheran Pastor/Theologian believed that the preaching of 'cheap grace' in Germany's Christian churches paved the way for Adolf Hitler's rise to power prior to World War II. Have American churches made a similar mistake with a similar consequence?

We hope you enjoy Pastor Ray's plea to slay the 'sacred cow' of "Cheap Grace".
Oct 2, 2021ASK FOR THE OLD PATHS: Part 5: The Sinners Prayer

ASK FOR THE OLD PATHS: Part 5: The Sinners Prayer

By: Pastor Ray McCollum
Series: Ask For the Old Ways
The 'Sinner's Prayer' has sent more people to hell than all the bars in America. ~Leonard Ravenhill

Our modern methods of evangelism have filled our American churches with counterfeit converts resting in a false assurance of salvation because of faith in a prayer that has no basis in the Bible.

We hope you enjoy as Pastor Ray teaches on the unscriptural nature of the so-called 'Sinner's Prayer', and why it's a 'sacred cow' that must be killed.

ASK FOR THE OLD PATHS: Part 4: An Eschatology of Victory

By: Pastor Ray McCollum
Series: Ask For the Old Ways
The Lord said to my Lord, "Sit at my right hand, till I make Your enemies Your footstool." Psalm 110:1

Will the church be victorious or defeated before the 2nd coming of Christ? Our answer matters. Because what we believe about the future, (our eschatology), affects our present. While the church is waiting for Jesus to come down, Jesus is waiting for the church to stand up!

We hope you enjoy as Pastor Ray 'kills' the 'sacred cow' of the defeatist view of the future that has paralyzed the people of God.

ASK FOR THE OLD PATHS: Part 3: Killing Sacred Cows

By: Pastor Ray McCollum
Series: Ask For the Old Ways
And the the Lord said to Gideon, "Take your father's young bull, the second bull of seven years old, and tear down the altar of Baal that your father has, and cut down the wooden image that is beside it; and build an altar to the Lord your God on top of this rock in the proper arrangement, and take the second bull and offer a burnt sacrifice with the wood of the image which you shall cut down." Judges 6:25-26

God is raising up a new 'Gideon's Army' in this hour. But before we can go to battle we must kill some 'sacred cows', the dearly held doctrines, beliefs and traditions that are producing counterfeit Christians and imprisoning God's people in a political paralysis.

We hope you can be with us as Pastor Ray continues our "Ask For The Old Paths" series with a message entitled, "Killing Sacred Cows".

ASK FOR THE OLD PATHS: Part 2: A Convenient Christianity

By: Pastor Ray McCollum
Series: Ask For the Old Ways
"Not everyone who calls out to me, 'Lord! Lord!' will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Only those who actually do the will of my Father in heaven will enter."
Matthew 7:21

It is time to deconstruct the convenient Christianity of our modern American church culture and return to our roots--radical obedience to Christ.

We hope you enjoy Part 2 of our "Ask For The Old Paths" series: "An Inconvenient Christianity".

ASK FOR THE OLD PATHS: Part 1: A Prophetic Word to the American Church

By: Pastor Ray McCollum
Series: Ask For the Old Ways
Thus says the Lord: "Stand in the ways and see, and ask for the old paths, where the good way is, and walk in it; then you will find rest for your souls.” Jeremiah 6:16

With our nation at the crossroads, God's prophetic word to His backslidden people through the prophet Jeremiah apply to the church in America today. Israel refused to listen and came under judgment. How will we respond?

We hope you can be with us this weekend as Pastor Ray begins a new teaching series that offers some Divine direction for our turbulent times: "Ask for the Old Paths".

"Heroism is the lost chord of present-day Christianity. A soldier without heroism is a chocolate soldier." ~C.T. Studd

The Christian church in America has been feminized to the point where we have forgotten how to fight. But there is an army rising up!

We hope you enjoy Part 2 of Pastor Ray's series, "The Soul of a Warrior".

"The fate of the unborn millions will now depend, under God, on the courage of this army. Our cruel and unrelenting enemy leaves us only the choice of brave resistance, or the most abject submission. We have, therefore, to resolve to conquer or die." ~General George Washington, 1775
The warrior spirit won America’s freedom. We now live in a time where it will require the warrior spirit to keep it.

"Right now there are Christian heroes somewhere out there that none of us yet know about." Mario Murillo

David, like many of God's people, was obscure, silent and unknown in the public arena for many years. But the blasphemies and taunts of the Philistine giant stirred him to speak up. Today, there is a new 'giant' threatening our own nation. Where are the new 'David's'?

We hope you enjoy Part 2 of Pastor Ray's message, "Is There Not A Cause?".

By: Pastor Ray McCollum

Once again, as in the days of David and Goliath, God's enemies have seized the battlefield, blaspheming God and silencing God's people in fear.
When will we rise up and say, "Enough!"?

We hope you enjoy Pastor Ray's message, "Is There Not A Cause?"
