    I Wanna Tithe (Part 3)

    I Wanna Tithe (Part 3): First Things, Conviction, and Trust In “I Wanna Tithe” lesson 3, Pastor Ryan teaches on finances and tithing, emphasizing that under the new covenant believers give from conviction, not fear of curses (contrasting Malachi 3:6–10 and the Levitical “tax” model with Christ’s priesthood after His death). Using Matthew 10:37–39, he stresses loving God first and calls the church to preach with urgency because eternity is at stake. He explains the “first things” principle through the Jewish Bikkurim/firstfruits ceremony (Deuteronomy 26:5–11; Exodus 13:2; 23:19), arguing the first sanctifies the rest and giving happens at “maximum uncertainty,” producing joy. He warns against prosperity manipulation, cites 1 Corinthians 9:13–14 and 16:2 on supporting ministry and setting aside giving weekly, and concludes that God owns everything (Psalm 24:1), so tithing is honest worship and stewardship. ==== Join us for our Sunday services at 10 AM and 4 PM. You'll experience uplifting worship, practical and biblical teaching, and a welcoming community. Come as you are and be a part of something bigger than yourself. We can't wait to worship with you!  When we give to the church, we honor God and support its ministry. Giving a tenth of our income, or tithing, is a biblical principle that helps those in need and furthers God's work.

    I Wanna Tithe (Part 2)

    In “I Wanna Tithe, Lesson Two,” Pastor Ryan teaches that tithing should be motivated by worship and honor rather than coercion, fear of curses, or a prosperity “pay God and get money back” mindset. Using Matthew 23:23, he argues Jesus did not cancel the tithe but rebuked hypocritical motives, affirming believers should practice “justice, mercy, and faithfulness” without neglecting the tithe. He distinguishes Abraham’s voluntary tithe to Melchizedek from the compulsory Levitical “tax” model, explains that the New Testament began after Christ’s death, and connects tithing to Jesus’ Melchizedekian priesthood (Hebrews 7) given through the church as Christ’s body. He also discusses explicit New Testament abrogations (e.g., sacrifices, dietary laws, circumcision, Sabbaths) to argue tithing was not abrogated, and closes with the manna “daily bread” theme as trusting God’s ongoing presence and provision. ==== Join us for our Sunday services at 10 AM and 4 PM.

    I Wanna Tithe (Part 1)

    Tithing in the New Covenant: From Compulsion to Partnership Pastor Ryan introduces a three-part teaching on the controversial topic of tithing, stressing there is no coercion and his goal is for people to say “I want to tithe,” not “I should tithe.” Using Hebrews 7:4–5 and Abraham’s tithe to Melchizedek, he argues New Covenant giving is not a compulsory Levitical tax or driven by Malachi-based fear, but a voluntary act of worship, surrender, and partnership in God’s Kingdom. He acknowledges historic church abuses, addresses common reasons people don’t tithe (compulsion, lack of trust, lack of teaching, consumerism, disappointment with God, privatized faith, and poverty), and clarifies The Way’s finances and leadership integrity. He warns against manipulating God for financial return, teaches that God has already provided in Christ, and shares testimonies—including hardship after giving more—emphasizing God owes nothing, but believers owe Him everything. ——— Join us for our Sunday services at 10 AM and 4 PM.

    Names of God (El Shammah) Part 16

    Jehovah Shammah: The Lord Is There—The Bible’s Central Message Is God’s Presence In “Names of God” Part 16, Ps. Ryan focuses on Jehovah Shammah (“the Lord is there”) from Ezekiel 48:35, arguing that the heart of the Bible is not merely salvation from hell but God’s presence with His people. Ps. Ryan explains that God is constantly present and that what we call “encounters” are awakenings to a reality already true, not feelings we must manufacture. Using Israel’s ruin and exile when Ezekiel prophesied, he emphasizes that God remains present in brokenness and names the city before changing its condition. He connects this theme to Emmanuel (“God with us”) in Matthew 1:23 and teaches that Jesus restores access to the Father’s presence, reframing provision (Jehovah Jireh) as God giving Himself. He also highlights making “room” for God through space and time, contrasting Mishkan and Shabbat. ——— Join us for our Sunday services at 10 AM and 4 PM.

    Names of God (El Olam) Part 15

    El Olam: Trusting the Everlasting God Beyond the Horizon Lesson 15 in the “Names of God” series focuses on El Olam, “the Everlasting God,” from Genesis 21:33, where Abraham plants a tamarisk tree in Beer-sheba and calls on the Lord’s name.  Ps. Ryan explains that God reveals His names progressively through relationship and experience, then frames Abraham—about 130–137 years old, tired and facing conflict over a well—as encountering God as the One who outlasts time, sees beyond human limits, and stands beyond the “horizon” or vanishing point of our vision. El Olam gives faith to keep walking, planting, obeying, and worshiping even when promises feel delayed, outcomes are hidden, or the full harvest won’t be seen in one lifetime, because God holds tomorrow and works even in darkness and failure for His purpose. ——— Join us for our Sunday services at 10 AM and 4 PM.

    Names of God (El Shaddai) Part 14

    El Shaddai: God Is Enough and God Is the Limit (Genesis 17:1) Teaching from Genesis 17:1, Ps. Ryan continues “Names of God, Part 14,” focusing on El Shaddai. He explains that El Shaddai means not only “God Almighty” but also “God is enough,” emphasizing surrender, reliance on God, and refusing idolatry of blessings or self-sufficiency. Using Abraham’s delay and Ishmael, he says God corrected Abraham’s attempt to “help” the promise and called him to walk blamelessly, connecting “enough” to God setting boundaries. Ps. Ryan illustrates God as the One who restrains chaos by setting limits in creation, and links this to Jesus calming the sea and exercising authority over demons and the law. He references Job repeatedly calling El Shaddai in suffering, teaching that chaos and pain have a limit set by God, urging believers to endure, trust, and give their future back to God. ——— Join us for our Sunday services at 10 AM and 4 PM.

    Names of God (El Gibbor) Part 13

    El Gibbor: The Mighty God Who Fights for You In this sermon, Ps. Ryan explains El Gibbor (“El” = God, “Gibbor” = mighty) from Isaiah 9:6, noting it is the only biblical occurrence of “El Gibbor” and a prophecy of Jesus Christ.  The message contrasts God as “Almighty” (His intrinsic nature) with “Mighty God” as His relational intervention—God stepping into human battles and fighting instead of us. It emphasizes surrender and grace: God helps those who cannot help themselves, not those who “help themselves,” and “being still” (Exodus 14:14) is reassigning the battle to God while continuing faithful obedience. Using illustrations from Adam’s fall, Nimrod, Esau, Jacob, and Joseph, it highlights how human self-reliance corrupts grace, and calls believers to trust El Gibbor, testify to God’s glory, and worship in advance like Hezekiah and Jehoshaphat (2 Chronicles 20:12). ——— Join us for our Sunday services at 10 AM and 4 PM.

    Names of God (Jehovah Nissi) Part 12

    Jehovah Nissi: The Lord Is My Banner (Exodus 17:8–11) In this “Names of God” lesson #12, Ps. Ryan teaches on Jehovah Nissi (“The Lord is my banner”) from Exodus 17:8–11 and the battle with Amalek, where Israel prevailed when Moses’ hands were raised and faltered when they dropped, until Aaron and Hur supported him all day. He explains Amalek’s unfair attack on the weak and weary (Deuteronomy 25:17–18) as a picture of how the enemy targets vulnerable areas, often through subtle lies that create anxiety and exhaustion over long, unresolved struggles. The raised hands are presented not as magic power but as a fixed point that turns attention upward to God, urging believers to keep looking to Him, persevere, and seek community support. He connects the “banner” ultimately to Jesus as the lifted-up Savior (Isaiah 11:10; John 3:14–15). ——— Join us for our Sunday services at 10 AM and 4 PM.
