John Spellman preaches at the Babylon SDA Church. The writers of the Bible testify that its origins begin with the Holy Spirit who spoke and move upon men. The Testimony of Jesus warns us of things to come. The mind of Christ is certainly needed today. Are you prepared to stand for your faith against opposition and impossible odds? What if standing for the truth meant being unpopular? What if it meant being ridiculed?

Pastor Michael Mirra hosts Ever-Present, an interactive Bible based talk show which explores how God is invested in the affairs of humanity. God cares about people. While sometimes we don't always understand why things happen a certain way, God is Ever-Present in our lives working on our behalf in ways we don't always realize. In this episode Pastor Mirra focuses on how human beings often have stormy moments in life that take us by surprise. When disaster strikes or bad things happen, where is God?

What is true greatness? How did Jesus define what it means to be great? How did Jesus believe those who are great should treat people? How can we compare this with our society today and the way it treats people? What are the ways in which we still break the first and second commandments today? Do we still have images or other gods in our lives? What are the things we still idolize? The book of Matthew illustrates instances in which people, like the rich young ruler, put possessions before God. Many were not willing to surrender everything and entrust it to God.

Have you ever been through situations where you felt abandoned by God? Are there times in your life where you wondered if God was really present? When things go wrong, does it mean God is not there or that He doesn't care? As we look at the story of Joseph, you'll be surprised that in the darkest of situations,  God is still ever-present.

Pastor Mirra continues with part 2 of "When I Feel Like God Has Abandoned Me". In the conclusion of the story of Joseph, God comes through for Joseph in an amazing and unforseen way. Many reach points in their lives in which they feel abandoned and forgotten. Joseph had reach a point in his life in which he had every reason to feel abandoned and forgotten. Yet, Joseph held on to his faith and trusted God. God was working behind the scenes in Joseph's situation, the way He may be working on your situation. Find out how in this week's episode.

Have you ever been asked to do something by a friend or family member that you didn't want to do? Have you eve been asked to do something and, although you didn't want to do it, you couldn't say no? Have you ever said you were going to be somewhere and purposely didn't show up? This sermon is about doing God lip service. There are times when we say things we don't mean and honor God with words, but we don't follow through with action. What kind of service does God expect from His people? This sermon talks about sanctification, God's power to transform our lives, and how to avoid hypocrisy.

John Spellman preaches part 2 of the 3 part series on the 3 angels message: Babylon Is Fallen. What does this message mean for the church today? God is calling a people out of Babylon. But, is it possible to recognize what the Book of Revelation meant by Babylon? Is there still a false system of worship that is uniting with the world against God today? Who is the great harlot of Revelation? How does it influence and play a role in the system of confusion that exists today? What is God telling Christians in order to prepare them for the final crisis?

This week we are joined by Dr. May-Ellen Colon and Dr. Gaspar Colon as we discuss Jesus on the topic of community outreach. What did Jesus have to say about community outreach? How did Jesus view the church's role in terms of reaching out to those in spiritual darkness? Who is our neighbor? What did He mean by the metaphors of light and salt? What roles do different members within the church play in reaching outsiders? How does the farming analogy illustrate these different roles? How do we prepare the soil, sow the seed, nurture the crop, and reap the harvest?

How did Jesus lead people to follow Him? How can we do the same today? Does God use flawed people to draw people to Jesus? What role does the church play in bridging the gap between humanity and God? How does God speak to people today? How can we discern the voice of God amid all the other voices which compete for our attention? How does the story of Zacchaeus show that God is often seeking out us when we think it’s difficult for us to seek him? Is God still reaching out to people today? Should we be passive or active in reaching people?

Have you ever felt like God was too late? Have you ever had a delay in your answer to prayer? If God loves us, why doesn't He always answer requests right away? When Lazarus died because Jesus was delayed for two days, they might have had similar questions. Jesus taught them a powerful lesson about what happens when people think God is too late.
