SUNDAY CLASSES
Steve Yoshimoto (Prayer Room)
Sundays @ 8:30 AM
Video class by Andrew Wommack
The Bible reveals that we are not wrestling against flesh and blood, but demonic powers. Our fight is not against people, but the spiritual forces influencing them. Like it or not, there is a spiritual battle raging right now for your heart and mind. The one we cooperate with is the one who will control us. Satan’s only power against you is deception. But the power of deception is completely broken when you know the truth. In this teaching, Andrew Wommack exposes this war and the enemy for what he is and the power and authority that we have as the child of God.
Dr. Paul Smith (Room 102)
Sundays @ 8:30 AM

Bob Yee (Room 203)
Sundays @ 10:15 AM
When one thinks of the martyrs of today, some of whom we know and others we just know about; know that they will ultimately see satan pushed out of Heaven. Then like a cornered criminal he will vent all his anger toward earth. Revelation 13 then tells us what will happen when an evicted devil attacks the Christians on the earth and changes tactics to usher in the prophecies of the Great Tribulation and the birth of the Antichrist. A One World Government in lock-step with a One World Religion will wreak havoc and destruction, as the requirement and precursor to Jesus’ Return, “For it will not come unless the apostasy comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction.” What comes next is the Rapture and the Second Coming. And that is the focus of this class.
