God has given us authority when we became His children, but in order to use it, we need to understand it. As such, there are no more reasons to remain in darkness. Thanks to Jesus, today everyone can live in the light and be free from the power of the devil!

When mankind sinned in the Garden of Eden, in that moment they lost their position before God, and everything that was given to them by God. This is why Jesus came, to not only free us from the devil, but to also give us the right to use God's authority and power.

We are not just saved sinners, but we are disciples, and growth in our knowledge and actions is expected, and shown through our maturity. It's important to be a good, successful disciple of Jesus Christ, understanding the truth and applying it in our daily life.

An important thing that we need to learn as believers, is to fully have faith in God, and let Him take the things we need changed. Too often we may hold on to something that God wants to take in order to change us, because we aren't fully confident in Him.

The reason we are bringing attention to the authority we have as believers, is so that we don't feel afraid or helpless in front of the devil, but make decisions by faith and live in peace, because everything is in God's hands!

When we repent and are born again from above, we become children of God, which gives us the same authority that God has. It's important to understand the authority we are given by God, and use it correctly.

Good work - is a selfless action of one person in favor of another person, with the underlying goal of bringing joy, happiness, or help.
Jesus did everything to give us the opportunity to become like Him in our words and deeds.
By doing good work, we glorify Him!

Relying on yourself - will only lead to sorrow, but relying on God and striving to do everything necessary from my side, and having trust that God will do His part will bring results.
Only by taking refuge in Christ and being clothed with His Spirit and trusting in grace can we overcome and serve God.

Overcomers understand the importance of the things we say, and that sometimes it's better to be silent, rather than talk. Our relationships, families, and general situations depend on our understanding of the power of words.

Diligence is doing the most of what you have the strength, capabilities and resources to do. Many things can change in our life, such as our health, financial and material state, but it's important that we wouldn't change our attitude towards the Lord, and how we do everything for Him.
Preached live on Sunday, April 14th, 2024
There will be times in our life where God will tell us to do something that may not make sense to us, but it will be used to glorify God!

"The name of the LORD is a strong tower; The righteous run to it and are safe." Proverbs 18 verse 10
When Solomon was writing Proverbs, we can know he understood what he was writing about because of what his father David did and lived. We need to understand the importance of the name of Jesus in our life, and the authority it gives us.

Grace doesn't release us from the responsibility for our actions, but gives us confidence and the ability to live differently. What God forgives, doesn't give us the right to sin knowingly, but instead becomes a safety net for those who may stumble, but still want to continue living righteously with God.
Preached live on Sunday, March 24th, 2024
God not only gave His only son, but also the Holy Spirit as a guarantee that everything will work out if we follow Him! He wants us to be 100% confident that He can and will take care of us, as long as we listen to Him.

To fast - is to abstain from food for the purpose of concentrating in prayer to receive an answer from God. This isn't starving yourself, but a biblical method to strengthen your spirit, and obtain victory in spiritual warfare.
Preached live on Sunday March 10th, 2024.
Combined with the full armor of God, praise allows us to demonstrate our faith, and show God we are serious! There are many examples in the Bible of people overcoming situations through praise, such as Abraham, David, and Jehoshaphat to name a few. Where there is praise, there is faith. Where there is faith, there is victory!
Preached live on Sunday, March 3rd, 2024
The shield of faith may be the final piece of the Armor of God we talk about, but it is by no means less important than the other pieces. Roman soldier's had shields that completely covered them, and in the same way, we need to carry the shield of faith in every aspect of our lives, to protect ourselves from the darts and arrows of the enemy.
Ephesians 6:16
16 above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one.

A breastplate is a very important part of armor, as it is what protects vital organs, such as the heart. If we don't wear the breastplate of righteousness, we leave our heart open to sin, which can lead to a quick death. Make sure to put on the breastplate of righteousness, so that you are always protected.

We may all have different pairs of shoes at home, that serve many different purposes - it can be slippers for at home use, or sneakers for going to the park, or even sandals for the beach. But if we want to be victorious in the spiritual world, along with the other parts of the Armor of God, we also need to put on our Shoes of the Gospel of Peace. The message that we spread wearing these shoes, will bring victory to us and those who listen to us.

People think about how they should start their ministry, how to change, how to live with God - it all starts from a close relationship with Jesus! People came to Christ and received not only healing, deliverance and answers to their needs, but also a direction for their life. Jesus told them, what and how best to do things. So what everyone needs first and foremost is a relationship with Christ, who is the truth and our belt of truth.
We can experience all the charm, beauty and pleasure of our new life in Christ only by moving away from sin and following His commandments. The passing pleasure of sin will only lead to death.

We often get caught up in other sins, but idolatry is a sin that is often ignored or forgotten, but it can be one of the most common and dangerous sins in the world. As outrageous as the claim may sound, it is true. When we focus on something outside of God, and begin to value something else more than Him, we commit idolatry. So we need to be careful, and make sure that no matter what we do, we keep God in first place, and make sure we value Him with all our heart, our soul and our mind.

Throughout our lives, there will be many situations where nobody but God can help us. People will try to gain recognition through these situations, but ultimately God is the only one who is able to truly change us, and show us where we need to go next. As long as we follow the path He has prepared for us, we will fulfill our calling.
If we compare the definition of success between the world and God, they are fundamentally different. The world sees success based on your home, job, financial situation and so on, whereas God sees success based on your obedience and trust in Him.
If you want to see change - you need to start building a relationship with Him. When you make a relationship with God your priority, good changes in your life will follow.
The church should have an atmosphere where people can come into it and receive salvation, then open up the calling God has for them and be surrounded by those who will support them to fulfill that calling so that they can then meet with Jesus Christ in Heaven.
We need to understand the calling God has for our lives, and align ourselves with that. The devil will try to move us to the right or left, or even stop us, but God wants us to keep looking at Him and striving to fulfill His calling for our lives.
The Bible is about Jesus. If you look at the many stories in it, you will find that it shows us His character, attitude and general view of the world. Ivan goes in depth into a few of those verses in this sermon, and encourages us to dive deep into the Bible ourselves.
The peace of God, which we receive through Jesus Christ, and which also can go against what we may think about our situation, helps us change our mentality and bring it to order so that we would be able to keep our faith and be blessed!
Every time we accept Communion, we remind ourselves of our position before Christ and of our victory that we achieved through Him. Pastor Alex talks about the importance of remembering the true meaning of communion and acting accordingly.
Have you ever tried to fast without food or water? As you go on, you begin to be more and more desperate for water, to the point of hallucinating it. Unfortunately, many believers today live like this when it comes to their spiritual life. We can fill up a small portion of our spiritual water from Sunday service, a small prayer or listening to sermons, but it will never fill us up unless we go to the one who is living water - Jesus! Before we can try and fill others up, we need to fill ourselves up in Him through praying and reading the Bible consistently, and thoroughly. We encourage you to fit spending time with Him in everyday, even if it is just for one hour because as it becomes a habit it'll grow bigger and you will see blessings in your life!
We live in an age where everyone's opinion is easily accessible. Search something on google and you'll immediately get thousands, if not millions, of different results and opinions. But, we need to make sure that we keep one opinion first before everything - God's opinion. Many times people will have already given up on something, such as friends and relatives of Jarius, but God will say not yet. The enemy will try to use others around us to diminish our faith, but we need to understand that God's opinion is all that matters. Things that seem unfortunate to those around you, God will use for His glory!
When we come to God, we determine a very important goal for ourselves - to be in a close relationship with God and to meet Him in Heaven. Yet when we choose this goal, we may notice that there are many different obstacles on this path, that we need to overcome. There are also other goals that we make for ourselves, which include our ministry, family, or jobs, where we also meet with obstacles and tribulations. What allows us to overcome all these obstacles and tribulations is patience!
Faith - is the ability to see past the problems we have today. Imagine that a problem is a mountain in your life, and you are stuck up against it. On your own, all you can see is the mountain and it feels impossible to change or move it. Faith is what allows us to see what is past the mountain - it helps us see what we should hold out hope for in the future.
