This is week 3 of our series, Reset.
sermon #reset #realchurch #crowson #message #sermonseries
It's time for a personal reset.
It's time to plug back in to the things of God.
God is trying to lead us into the future He has planned for us... Jeremiah 29:11 tells us "For I know the plans and thoughts that I have for you, says the Lord, plans for peace and well-being and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.
Hope.
Hope is ALWAYS looking forward... Never backwards...
Remember Lot's wife? She turned to a pillar of salt after looking back at the place God was bringing them out of...
There is NOTHING worth going back for.
NOTHING.
Your future is NOT behind you...It's in front of you!
Keep. Moving. Forward.
God is trying to reset our focus on His best... Allow God to reset your vision.
Let your new vision be by revelation, and be strengthened by God!

It's time for a reset.
To reset, according to Webster, is to set again or anew...
Here's the thing. If we don't take time to learn from the past, we are destined to repeat it!
Judges 2:10 says this: "And also all that generation were gathered unto their fathers: and there arose another generation after them, which knew not the Lord, nor yet the works which he had done for Israel."
It took just 4 generations from Abraham, the father of the faith, to Judah who engaged in fornication as he unknowingly had relations with his former dauther-in-law...
In just 4 generations the patriarchs moved from FAITH to IMMORALITY.
There have been many great revivals throughout the history of our world and country. Each one was followed by a terrible event.
Right now, our world is primed for the greatest reset in the history of the world... Will you be ready??
It's time for a reset!

We learn in Nehemiah that a watchman fights with one hand and builds with the other.
Listen, the enemy is sneaky, and he comes in quickly and typically when you're unaware...
It is imperative that we be watching, praying, and taking a stand continually! Never putting down our sword, and never ceasing to watch and pray.

Jeremiah 2:13
The people of God experienced two great evils...
-
They neglected and rejected God...
-
They tried to find purpose and pleasure in things other than God.
The result?
They lost their purpose and destiny as God's special people.
Let this message challenge you to get back to the basics of "seeking FIRT the Kingdom of God..."

This week's message is week 1 of a new sermon series called "The Church Gone Wild"
There's a BIG difference in religion and relationship.
Religion makes a god. Relationship seeks God.
In Exodus 32 we read that when Moses went up the mountain to receive the ten commandments from God Aaron aloud the people to "run wild" and create their own "god".
They got so crazy in their sexual party that they disgraced themselves for their very enemy's.
God's not about taking from you as are manmade gods... He's all about giving to you! He's about forgiving you! He's about relationship with you.

So many today have a distorted view of God.
Maybe they have had a terrible example of a father, or maybe they haven't had one at all and now they've projected those experiences on God.
The good news is God is good. He's always good. He's always faithful, patient, and full of love.
Let today's message encourage you and help you see the true heart of your Heavenly Father!

Wells.
A natural source of fresh water.
Digging them isn't fun, but the reward is fresh water!
You don't find people digging wells on tops of mountains... No. You dig wells on the ground - in the valley. They become a source of life to you when you need it most!
If you're not finding fresh water where you're currently digging, then move on but don't stop digging, and when you find fresh water from God, stop and build an altar. Pray. Give thanks. God has provided!
Streams of refreshing are a gift from God and they are yours!
Let today's message be an encouragement to you to never stop digging!

Everything in life works a little smoother if you implement a process or a plan.
You can help your children avoid a lot of life's mishaps and disasters by teaching them a process..
A few things to consider...

"Good" - meaning morally upright.
Here are a few highlights of our Good Shepherd, Jesus...
He has a reward with Him.
He has a work before Him.
He feeds us.
He gathers us.
He carries us.
He leads us.
We, as the sheep following Jesus, have a discerning ear and an obedient heart.
Jesus' reward for us in abundant life, and His desire is that His work become our work here on earth.
John 14:12 says "He that believers on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father."

It's so easy to opt for what's easy and convenient for what God ultimately wants for us.
You wouldn't be able to survive on a diet of milk and donuts...
God's trying to lead us to green pastures while we're drowning in a bowl of Lucky Charms...
He's trying to lead us to living water while we're sipping on Coca Cola!
The children of Israel were content with the garlic and onions of Egypts, but God was trying to lead them to a place where He would provide manna from Heaven that contained everything they needed to sustain them.
In order to move forward into the things of God, we have to leave some things behind...
Are you willing to trade your "stuff" for the good God has in store for you?
Let this week's message challenge you to let some things go and move forward in the things of God!

It's one thing to pray a prayer asking God to forgive you of your sins.
It's a completely different thing to repent of those sins.
Repent is to turn away. To walk in the opposite direction of.
The only way we can be in true relationship with God is to ask for forgiveness of our sins AND to repent from them!
With the help of the Holy Spirit of God we can walk "washed" in the Blood of Jesus, and walk in a new direction!

Knowing God is so much more than reading a scripture a day and saying a prayer before bed. The book of Ezekiel actually tells a story of God calling us to go to deeper levels... Ankle deep, knee deep, waist deep .... further and further until we've completely lost ourselves in God.
If you have questions about God, or just have a deep "knowing" that there's got to be more... deeper understanding, deeper intimacy in your relationship with your Creator, then today's message is for you!

Rivers.
They're not stagnant. They're constantly moving and full of life!
It's so easy to allow sin, and the things of the world to get on us and make us "dirty"...
We need times of refreshing, and we need the river of God to flow over us and clean us.
This week's message will challenge you to step into the River of Life and be cleansed and refreshed!

Forgiveness.
If we're being honest, it's something that's difficult for all of us.
"For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you." - Matthew 6:14
Whoa! That'll make you think twice before holding on to unforgiveness in your heart.

What is the greatest question in the Bible?
We'll get back to that in a second.
Have you ever told someone you were in a romantic relationship with you loved them?
"I love you".
When you say it for the first time you say it as a statement...
But... It's really a question.
I love you. Do you love me?
The greatest question in the Bible is from God. "I love you. I sent my only begotten son to die in your place for the forgiveness of your sins... I love you. Do you love me?"
The Season of Teshuva is a from the Hebrew calendar and it marks the beginning of a turning back to God... of repentance.
Our prayer is that this message is a challenge and encouragement to to return to God.
God loves you. Do you love Him?

Fire.
Fire has a purpose.
The fire of God also has incredible purpose in our lives.
It ignites us. Scripture tells us we shall receive power after the Holy Ghost has come upon us.
It tempers us. Temper simply means: having temper, moderated or modified, hardened as a metal, tuned according to some temperament, a musical term.
It inflames us. The Fire of God inflames our passion for Him.
What does that look like in the life of the believer? Howe do you receive the fire of God in your life?
May today's message stir you to wanting more of the fire of God in your life!

Have you ever seen a fire that had almost gone out?
Maybe there were just smoldering coals... Just some hot ash left...
You can throw some kindling like dried leaves or small twigs on something like that and blow a little air across it and watch it catch fire again!
The same is true with your spiritual life...
Maybe you feel like your fire is dying out. You're not as passionate about the things of God as you one were.

If you ask the average Christian something like "Do you want the fire of God in your life?" you'd probably hear the same "yes" across the board.
But what does it take the have the fire of God fall in your life.
In this week's message we'll look at 2 Chronicles and how we can apply the things we learn in this incredible story to our lives and start seeing the fire of God show up in seemingly impossible situations.

The book of 2 Timothy exhorts the church to be "instant in season and out of season".
Instant... Webster defines Instant as happening immediately, urges, pressing, a precise moment in time, a short space of time.
"Instant" doesn't sit around waiting... "Instant" DOES!
When we move in tandem with the Holy Spirit powerful things happen... We can be used of God in an instant!
Let today's message challenge you to allow God to use in in an instant!

You've probably never stopped to think about this when starting a fire in your fireplace, at a campsite, or even when lighting a candle...
But it takes three ingredients to create fire.
- Kindling or Fuel.
- Oxygen (no air, no fire...)
- Source of Ignition
Scripture tells us to "quench not the Spirit, or fire of God." However, we are all guilty of doing this to some degree or level from time to time.
The word "quench" quite literally means: to put out, extinguish, or satisfy thirst.
Ouch... I don't want to be guilty of doing that!
We must be constantly stirring up the embers of our heart ... what once was on fire for God, but has started to die out. We must add more fuel and more air to the fire.
Let today's message be a challenge to you to stir up the fire of God in your heart and life!

Pentecost Sunday is the perfect time to talk about the third person of the Trinity - The Holy Spirit.
What does the Holy Spirit do for us? What purpose does he serve? Why is it important that we receive the Holy Spirit?
All great questions. And ones we address in this message.
Here are a few thoughts on the Holy Spirit:
He gives us power over sin.
He tells us who we are.
He helps and teaches us to pray.
He helps us feel the love of the Father.

Raise your hand if you like waiting .... Go ahead, I'll wait (pun intended)
You've heard it said before, "Anything worthwhile is worth waiting on".
Think about your favorite meal or desert. Chances are, it doesn't just appear before your eyes... There's a process. It takes time!
The same can be said for spiritual things as well.
Just as in the natural, waiting on spiritual things serves a purpose. We gain understanding and desire increases as we wait.
If you feel like you're in a season of waiting may this week's message encourage you!

The "antichrist".
Ever heard of him?
Who is he? What does the Bible have to say about him?
What if we told you the spirit of the antichrist has been working on earth since the beginning?
In this week's message, we learn what the Bible has to say and look at biblical prophecy concerning him.
We also look at the book of Micah and what it has to say about "the breaker" who has come to free us from this spirit of antichrist.

During this series on End Times, we're looking at what the Bible has to say about the "Son of Perdition" and how we can be on the lookout for signs that "he" is here.
Scripture tells us that during the end times we will see a great falling away, or an apostasy; we are certainly seeing that.
The antichrist spirit has always been here, but it is certainly getting stronger. The antichrist exalts himself above God and opposes God.
However, the good news is that the antichrist can NOT have his day until the Church of Jesus is raptured.
Jesus will defeat the antichrist and Satan once and for all!
May this week's message be a blessing to you today!

How do we receive blessings from God?
Being “good”?
Volunteering at the local homeless shelter?
Giving a lot of money to church or a charity?
These things aren’t bad, but they’re not what gets the attention of God.
What does then?
Good question.
Repentance.
God can’t even hear the prayer of a sinner until they have repented of their sins.
How do we repent?
How do we know we’ve repented?
In today’s message we’ll be looking at what scripture has to say about unlocking the blessings of God when we repent and turn away from our sins.

Pastor BJ Smith is ALWAYS a blessing to Real Church.
If you're wondering how he preaches without a physical Bible in his hand, it's because he has studied the word intensely for decades and he has hidden the Word of God in his heart! Wow.

Bricks have a certain quality...
They're made from the same mold. They aren't actually very strong. They all look the same - same color, shape, size... and they're man-made.
Stones, on the other hand, are incredibly strong. No two stones are identical. Not in size, shape, weight, color... the list could go on and on.
1 Peter 2:5 tells us this... "you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ."
And as we are to be stones, we are also to build our lives on the chief cornerstone, Jesus Christ!

What does it take to "win" these days?
No, we're not talking about physical beat-downs...
We're talking about living a victorious life in every area the way God intended for you.
He paid too high a price for your victory for you to go through life defeated.
Let today's message encourage and equip you with the necessary tools to WIN in this life.
During this message pastor Crowson looks at what the Bible has to say about the power that is in the blood of Jesus!
Does God have a place in your heart, or does he have your WHOLE heart?
That's what today's message is all about.
Be challenged as you listen today!
In Deuteronomy 6:5 we here God say that we are to love the Lord our God with all of our heart and with all of our soul and with all of our strength.
When He says "heart" he's referring to our spirit.
When He says "soul" he's referring to our mind, will and emotions.
And when He says "strength" he's referring to our body.
Let today's message challenge you to love God on three new levels!
How do we view God and his Word?
How do we view Gods word for our lives?
Today's message from guest pastor Calvin Kearley looks at the person and work of God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit.
We think you'll be challenged as you listen today!
God's desire is to give you the free gifts of the Spirit of God... He's got an inventory of gifts just waiting on your to be ready to receive them.
One you receive the Spirit of God you can receive all He has in store for you!
Enjoy today's messaged entitled "Spirit And Power".
You've bought all the materials to build a house. They've been delivered to your property and laid out. You have floor plans and diagrams. You may even be able to visualize what the finished product will look like in your head. However, you'll never see that vision become a reality until you pick up a hammer and start the hard work of framing up your house.
Your spiritual life is no different. Maybe God has given you a vision of what your life can look like. Maybe you go to church. Maybe you have an understanding of all the right things you should be doing in your life, but until you do the work your life will stay right where it's at. You'll never make progress.

God wants so much more for you. He wants you to know Him. He wants you to experience him in his fullness. He wants to take you past the shallow place of when you first believed in God and take you to a place of revelation knowledge. A deeper place in Him.

God wants an intimate relationship with His creation. He wants us to snuggle up to Him and experience His embrace; His warmth, His nearness, His comfort.
How can we achieve closeness with God? James 4:8 tells us that if we draw close to God He'll draw close to us. But he continues that scripture with some instruction: cleanse your hands and purify your hearts.
Let today's message challenge you to let go of some things in your life that might be holding you back from experiencing nearness with your creator!
Every level or season we reach in life has its own challenges and difficulties. However, each level is meant to help you grow.... flourish even!
How do we allow the seasons of life to propel us further and not hurt us?
In today's message we will look at these things and more. Let it challenge you to grow in God!
Did you know that God wants to take you from faith to faith and glory to glory?
He doesn't want you to stay where you are in your relationship with Him... He wants to take you to new levels after new levels after new levels.
Let this week's message challenge you to go deeper in God!
There's something about joy, gladness, and thanksgiving resounding on the inside of us and harmonizing with the sound of heaven... it produces the voice of the church!
Let today's message be a reminder that we each have a responsibility to cultivate the church service going on inside of each one of us.
When we allow joy, gladness, and thanksgiving to cease to exist inside our hearts we find ourselves open to the attack of the enemy, lacking joy, peace, and the presence of God.
May this message be an encouragement to you today!
The gift of Christmas was SO much more than a baby in a manger. It was a savior. Christ the Lord.
The book of Luke tells of three things that came along with the birth of Christ:
Salvation
A New Covenant
Everlasting Life
Enjoy today's message!
A tale of two climates...
One that is constant. Another that is constantly being turned up.
For the proud and wicked the thermostat is being turned up...
For the faithful who fear His name the thermostat is a constant 72!
How do we stay faithful? How do we stay at 72?
Remember the law of Moses. Repent. Turn from our wicked ways and follow after the ways of God.
Have you ever been in a place where you felt like you needed a change but just didn't know how to make it happen?
Let today's message challenge you and encourage you!

We have SO much to be thankful for. In this four-week series of messages we're going to be looking at something different every week. In this first week we'll be looking at what it is to be full of thanks for our friends and family.

Do you feel like you're under pressure right now? Maybe the weight of all that is going on in the world is a little much right now... We get it.
Let today's message encourage you to not give up. To allow that pressure around you do the work of removing what's not needed, and putting in your what's necessary!
What happens when a nation sins against God?
• Fear overtakes them.
• Food becomes scarce.
• They lose their way of life.
• Poverty becomes the norm.
However, in a time of awakening....
• God raises up a Remnant
• God cleanses His people of sin.
• God brings deliverance and restoration.
Salvation is a journey...
We read of Paul's experience on the road to Damascus and how it was a turning point in his life.
One of the meanings of the word Damascus is: full turn in the pattern of salvation. The turn around in Paul's life was one of the most amazing in the Bible. He went from christian killer to christian leader; now that's a turn around!
If you need a change in your life, let God turn you around!

... the mystery hidden for ages and generations but now revealed to his saints. 27To them God chose to make known how great among the Gentiles are the riches of the glory of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. Colossians 1:26-27
We all know the scripture, “Without faith it is impossible to please God”. But what else does Scripture teach us about faith?
We know that:
Faith never forgets.
It never looks at the odds.
It claims what’s ours.
And it defeats giants.
How’s your faith doing today?
Maybe you need to pray this prayer… “Lord, I believe, but help my unbelief.”
Let today’s message challenge and encourage you in your faith!
Jesus tells Martha in Luke 10:41-42a “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things, 42 but one thing is necessary...
I don't know about you, but it's way to easy to get caught up in everything going on around we forget the necessary, or essential part of being a Christ-follower...That is sitting at the feet of Jesus. Spending time alone with Him. Listening for his voice. Hearing His instruction.
One thing is essential... Let today's message challenge you today!
Are there things in your life you're unwilling to give up to follow Jesus?
We all have a decision to make. To lay down our will, desire, hobbies... You name it.
Decide today to lay it down and follow Jesus!
Acts 2:42 says "They were continually devoting themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer."
What is the key to spiritual success? Continuing.
Let this message challenge you to continue.
In today’s message from Pastor Crowson we see Jesus’ words to Jairus when he was asking Jesus to heal his sick daughter. “Do not fear. Just believe”.
What are you fearing today? One thing we know is fear and faith cannot coexist… The doubting crowd will never see the power of God. Jesus fellowships with the faith crowd! The crowd that believes.
Allow Jesus to speak directly to your situation today.
Believe. Do not fear. Do not doubt. He is able. He is willing.
Believe and ask God to help your unbelief.
Did you know that what you do today will determine your tomorrow?
In Acts 2:42 we see that they were "continually devoting themselves to the apostles teaching, and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer."...
Devoted. A word that's seemingly lost some meaning in today's culture.
In Luke we read that no man can serve two master... You will love one and hate the other...
In today's message we dive into the subject of devotion.
What you do today determines your tomorrow.
Do you ever wish you could see the unseen obstacles and pitfalls in life?
Does it ever feel like you're walking along just fine and then BAM you fall through the surface and land in the bottom of a dark pit?
Sin can drag us into a state of panic and leaves us in the pit of despair.
So, how do we deal with this?
In this week's message we'll be looking at just that: Breaking Free From The Pit.
One is given. The other is received.
In today's message we'll take a look at the power God has made available to us and how it works hand-in-hand with the God has given us.
You can probably think back to many different gifts that have been given to you over the years. Things like clothes, books, video games... you name it. All things that fade, rust, or get thrown away at some point.
However, spiritual gifts last forever! Spiritual seeds that are planted in our children will NOT return void...we will reap a harvest!
Check out our message from Father's Day 2021 and learn about the gifts we need to be giving as fathers.
We all speak a language. Some of us speak English, others Spanish, and the list goes on and on.
However, even in one language, such as Spanish, there can be several different dialects.
In the Kingdom, we can all speak the same language, but there is an earthly dialect, and a heavenly dialect, or "tongue of angels".
Check out this message about the language of the Kingdom of God!
A kingdom belongs to it's king... And the kingdom is supposed to reflect the image of it's King... The kingdom of God should be one of: love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, faith, meekness, and temperance.
Let today's message challenge your thinking about the Kingdom of God!
The Kingdom of Heaven is a mystery to us here on earth...
Earthly kingdoms are those that can: be seen, are all about money, power and ideas, are built on shifting ground and are surrounded by pitfalls...
The Kingdom of Heaven is unseen, there is abundant provision, authority, is all about truth and principles, and is built on the solid foundation of Jesus Christ...
Today's message takes a deep dive into the Kingdom of Heaven.

Pastor B.J. Smith is our guest for both services at Real Church.
He is a mighty man of God - one that is overflowing with the word of God.
Let today's message bless you!
We hear it all the time... Trust your heart... Listen to your heart...
"The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked... Who can know it?"...
Wow... That's what the Bible has to say about your heart.
Check out this week's message about your heart!
We so often like to put an adjective in front of "God" when we refer to him... For instance - We serve an Awesome God... A Faithful God... A Great God...
Well, what about this... We serve GOD.... God alone. He encompasses all of these adjectives and more, and He's able and willing to do exceedingly, abundantly above all that we could ask, think, or even imagine...
Let today's message challenge you to believe God for Great and Mighty Things!
A drowning man cannot save himself.
A lost man cannot find himself.
Many say there are many pathways to God... Sure, we each take a different pathway to God, but when we get to that point we have a decision to make... To accept Jesus Christ or to reject him.
To walk through the narrow gate and narrow pathway that leads to life everlasting THROUGH Jesus Christ, or to turn and walk the broad pathway where many others are already walking...
Be challenged this morning in your view of "salvation"... It comes through Christ ALONE.
Every first Sunday night of the month we have what we call Revival Nights. Each night is an awesome time of praise and worship followed by an incredible word from God from a different guest speaker.
This week we welcomed pastor Calvin Kearley to speak and WOW! God used him in a mighty way!
When you think of traditional Easter sermons you probably think Jesus crucified, buried, and raising from the dead on the third day...
Well, take a listen to this Easter message and be blessed AND challenged!
God is a God of LIFE...
He created life. He breathed the breath of life in us when he shaped us from the dust of the earth.
So, if He's a God of life, then we believe He's in the resurrection business!
We believe, as Christians, that when the God of life comes in contact with the dead resurrection follows!
We, the body of Christ, cannot be dead... We must be ALIVE, healthy, and active in the work of the ministry.
Have you allowed the dream to die? You know the dream I'm talking about... The dream that seems SO big it'll never happen... The dream people scoff at. Did you know there are phases to a dream?
It goes something like this:
The birth of a dream
The announcement of a dream
Building synergy
Arrival of roadblocks, pitfalls, opposition, and unexpected difficulties
Loss of zeal, excitement, and focus
Forgotten...
REVIVED, RENEWED, and REBORN!!
Listen to today's message and be challenged to keep the dream alive!!
Have you ever wished you could raise the dead?
When you were created God breathed HIS breath in your lungs... That means for those that are in relationship with Jesus you have resurrection power living on the inside of you!
You've been given the gift of prophesy - the gift of being able to speak to dead situations, relationships, and even bodies and say "come alive again"!
Enjoy today's message and be challenged to speak LIFE to dead things today!
You say you believe the Word of God… You even have it hidden in your heart… But what does your mouth say?
Scripture says in Romans 10 “With the heart I believe; with the mouth I confess…”
A couple things about faith… Without it we have no salvation. And without confession there is no salvation.
Faith is about speaking the UNSEEN!!
Hebrews 11:1 tells us that “Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”
So, spoken confession is the validation of our faith!
We say we believe, but what do we confess with our mouths?
What’s my heart saying?
What’s my mouth saying?
Do they line up?
We find in Acts 3:19-21 that God tells us our sins can be wiped clean and we can enjoy times of refreshing from the Lord if we turn to God and repent from our sins...
A few takeaways from today's message:
Our Repentance Releases God's Revival
Just as a good cleanse detoxifies the body; a heart of repentance detoxifies the soul.
The Word of God refreshes, strengthens, and empowers.
We can find rest in God's plan for refreshment.
Take some time to hear from God in today's message.
We live in an upside down culture... Right is wrong. Wrong is right.
Scripture tells us toe repent and return, so that your sins may be wiped away, in order that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord... It's conditional... Need refreshing from the Lord in your spirit? No problem. Repent of your sins. Return to the Lord. Then your sins will be washed away and you'll receive a refreshing in your spirit that only the Lord can give!
Do you ever struggle with knowing just how to show someone how you love them? Is the buying them the perfect gift? Is it spending more quality time or showing affection?
Well, we don't have to struggle with knowing how to show God we love him... Did you know the Bible tells us how we should love God in return? He gave his only begotten son as the ultimate sacrifice for our sins.... How could you ever repay a love like that??
Check out today's message entitled "Love At First Sight".
This week we look at the topic of prayer as its relates to Acts 2:42, our theme scripture for this message series.
Jesus has a table prepared for you... A place of communion where ALL are invited to sit.
When Jesus came on the scene here on earth he was viewed by most as a threat. A threat to government, to finances, the flesh... Be blessed as you listen to this week's message entitled "The Threat".
There is a motivating fire that empowers, invigorates, purifies, and energizes the Church. Without it, the Church is nothing more than a social club with a nice meeting place... God has placed his fire, His Spirit, within each one of us at birth... It's His breath in our lungs... It's up to us to fan the flame within!
This message will challenge you to fan into flame the embers of your heart... May we be set on fire for Jesus in these last days!!
In Revelation 3:14-22 Jesus writes to the church in Laodicea these things...
You are neither hot nor cold...
I would rather you be for me or against me...
You're indifferent...lukewarm...
You're spiritually bankrupt (wretched)
You're ignorant and exposed by your lack of the Word (blind and naked.
The people of that church were saying things like: we're rich, we have plenty of things, and we don't need anything...
God's remedy is that we be like gold tried in the fire and be like white raiment.
He asks us to trade in our doubt for faith. Our filthy garments for righteousness, and our darkness for the light of the Gospel.
These things can only happen through Jesus. We must be zealous and repent to experience a revival in our soul!
The same all powerful God who opens doors, shuts them with the same undeniable, irresistible force...
Let this message encourage and challenge you today!
The Bible gives us a warning in scripture... He says "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs which on the outside appear beautiful, but inside they are full of dead men's bones and all uncleanness..." Whoa... I don't want to just look good on the outside... like I've got my act together and things are really falling apart on the inside...
Let this message encourage you to allow the Holy Spirit to do a work on the inside that only He can do!
Scripture warns us of something that God does not not want the Church to tolerate ... That's a Jezebel spirit... It divides. It manipulates. It destroys. It's exactly the spirit that is running rampant in our country and world today.
We pray this message challenges you today and that you'd take time to pray and ask the Holy Spirit to reveal to you if the spirit of Jezebel is at work in your life and family.
The Word of God is a two edged sword... It has the ability to separate our soul and spirit. The Word of God is the sword of the spirit...On one edge is the law, and on the other is grace.
We pray this message challenges you to see that God knows you and has adopted you into His family.
It's so easy today to lose sight of who we're worshipping... It's easy to think we're worshiping God, but in reality we've set other things: religion, politics, money, etc. as our focus in worship...
In Revelation 2:8-11 we read of a story of the church in Smyrna... They had people who worshiped at the imperial temple in Rome.. They literally worshiped Rome... They has the "religicites"... people who worshiped the form and formality more than God - religious people... And then there were people who were true Christians...Christ followers... they worshiped the one true God.
What kind of person are you? May this message challenge you today to be faithful to the worship of God!
We've probably all heard of the 5 love languages... In fact, you probably know what your's is. However, have you ever stopped to figure out what God's love language is? How does he receive our love to Him? What is it He needs from us?
In this message we'll look at a familiar set of scriptures... Maybe you've heard of them before... We like to call them the Ten Commandments. God said, If you love me, then you'll keep my commandments...
Chances are most of just don't have any issues with murdering, but what about idols? Or keeping the Sabbath?
Listen to this message from Pastor David and let it challenge you in your walk with God!
Love God or love sin, but you can't love both...
This challenging message from pastor David Crowson reminds us that Christ is calling us back to our first love... Jesus - and to keep him and His love the priority.
When you're covered in the Blood of Jesus God's grace and mercy is poured out on you! Think back to how many times you've been spared from sickness, accidents, disaster... That's God's "passover" in your life! When you're washed in the Blood of Jesus His judgement will pass over you because He sees the Blood of Jesus, which washes us white as snow, instead of our sins that separate us from God.
Enjoy this message on The Passover from Pastor David Crowson.
When adversity comes it exposes SO much about us. Our beliefs, our faith, what we're anchored to...
Are you swayed by every "truth" that comes your way? Have you set up false gods for yourself without even knowing?
