Read More If You're Going Through Hell, Keep on Going This Week's Episode This week, Pastor Bobby teaches us from 1 Peter 5:6-11 and shares that in whatever we're going through right now, God can turn it for good if we just keep going, with his message, “If You’re Going through Hell, Keep on Going.” Our interview guest is Nikki Koziarz, an author, podcast host, Bible teacher, and speaker who is very passionate about teaching the Word to others. Her new book, Your New Now: Finding Strength and Wisdom When You Feel Stuck Where You Are, helps readers figure out their transitional seasons by studying Moses’s life and the seasons that he went through. Special music is provided by Dayna Sauble, who was born and raised in Orange County and has performed in productions like “Joseph and the Technicolor Dreamcoat” & “Shrek." She also sings as a member of the a-cappella group WestBeat. Today, she performs “If the Lord Builds the House" and “My Redeemer Lives," accompanied by the Hour of Power Choir and Orchestra. Then, the choir, under the direction of Dr. Irene Messoloras, performs "The Last Words of David," accompanied by Alice Yoo on the piano. The closing hymn is "In Christ There Is No East or West." We hope you'll join us for this hour of hope and inspiration!  WATCH NOW Worship Draws You to the Heart of God This Week's Offer Our 2024 Made to Worship 13-month Wall Calendar takes you on a journey of discovery to help you uncover both conventional and unexpected ways to praise God! For your gift of just $20 or more this month, you can WORSHIP all throughout next year with 13 months of unique ideas on how to give honor and glory to the Lord.
