On this Easter Sunday, Pastor Alexander declares the way the resurrection power is going to come into your life is through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit! But before there can be a resurrection there first must be a death. You will never have a resurrection without a death.

If you will allow the Holy Spirit to indwell your vessel, you too will experience resurrection power.

If we are going to grow spiritually, THEN it is imperative we learn to “abide” in Christ! Most people who go adrift in their lives do so because they lose an abiding relationship with the Lord. He is no longer the center of their life, and they’ve thrown away their anchor. They begin to drift in the winds and current of this world system and ultimately they cannot discern right from wrong. In his epistle, the apostle John identifies three anchors of our abiding that will keep us from drifting away. We are to abide (be anchored) in the Word, we are abide (be anchored) in the Anointing, and we are to abide (be anchored) in Him – Christ!

We continue our theme of spiritually growing together in the fear of the Lord. We have learned that a lack of the FEAR of the Lord is the root cause of not drawing near His presence and not obeying the Lord’s commands. As a result we become HEARERS of the WORD but not DOERS of the WORD and we thereby DECEIVE OURSELVES. WE think we know God, but in reality we don’t! In today’s study we will identify three stages in deception in a Heart that lacks a holy fear of the God.

We continue our study on spiritual growth by identifying two common Biblical patterns of seeking God’s presence. There is a classic contrast between how the children of Israel approached God and how Moses approached God’s presence.

There are those who seek God for his protection, provision and promotion, but NEVER realize that they can EMBRACE Him for WHO He is and KNOW Him INTIMATELY. “You can be as close to God as you choose to be!”

David was called a man after God’s own heart! The reality is that God longs for YOUR FRIENDSHIP, but our PROBLEM is we are either NOT AWARE or we are NOT WILLING to BECOME a friend of God. In today’s message pastor Alexander focuses on how we can become a friend of God.

As Abraham walked with God he proved himself trustworthy, so much that the Lord entered into a Covenant relationship with him and his descendants. Genesis 15:18 “In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram...” A Covenant is AN AGREEMENT between two parties that is binding upon each to fulfill to the greatest of their ability the conditions of the covenant. A Covenant is a two way street. God has HIS Part. “I’m going to bless you . . .” But Abraham also had a Part - “his part was TRUST and OBEDIENCE!” With the blood Covenant there was symbols that were tokens of a reminder of the Covenant. In Abraham’s day it was the token of circumcision the shedding of blood that would remind his descendants of the Covenant. We too, have a tokens of the New Covenant established in the body and blood of Jesus Christ. It is important that we REMIND ourselves regularly that we are in COVENANT with FATHER GOD. We do that today by the SYMBOLS of Covenant!

She admonished Abraham to separate from and CAST OUT these things and the Lord agreed. Although it was painful, Abraham obeyed God and CAST OUT that which was symbolic of the FLESH.
Abraham literally walked with God through difficult times of sorrow and in times of great joy and blessing. The Lord had promised Abraham MANY descendants but as he and Sarah were advanced in age the promise had NOT been fulfilled. At the right time, the Lord passed by and once again confirmed His promise. And at the set time the promise came, and Sarah’s mourning was turned into laughter! God hears your dry and He see’s your tears! At the appointed time He will visit you and when He does, your SORROW will be turned to JOY!

Pastor Alexander continues the series on the Life of Abraham, a FRIEND of God and the father of FAITH, as our EXAMPLE of “How to WALK with God.” As Abraham was walking in obedience, he encountered several situations where he FEARED for his own life. His response in those times was not what we would look to as a great example of FAITH, but rather demonstrated the FAILURE of depending on the flesh. Yet in spite of his own failures God intervened and turned his failure into blessing. Our weaknesses and failures do not disqualify us from God plan and purpose in our lives! God’s GRACE and MERCY is greater than OUR WEAKNESS!
Pastor Alexander continues the series on the Life of Abraham, a FRIEND of God and the father of FAITH, as our EXAMPLE of “How to WALK with God.” What’s interesting is to also study the life of Abraham’s nephew Lot, who stands as an EXAMPLE of a person who made RIGHT and WRONG choices in life and REAPED what he had sown. Lot’s choice of dwelling places illustrates his spiritual journey, and speaks to us of ours as well. We too make MISTAKES along life’s journey. We need to LEARN what prompted Lot to make WRONG choices to help us NOT REPEAT his mistakes in our spiritual journey of walking with God!
Pastor Alexander continues the theme “Walking with God” using Abraham as an example. As you walk with God, that intimacy brings REVELATION of His purpose, “Shall I hide from Abraham what I am doing?” (v.18) That revelation is a seed from God to bring you to a place of intercession. God RESPONDED to Abraham’s intercession. In Genesis 19:29 says, “When God destroyed the cities of the plain, he REMEMBERED Abraham and he brought Lot out of the catastrophe…” God responded to Abraham’s intercession because the Lord REMEMBERED him! The question is: Will He REMEMBER You?
Pastor Alexander continues the theme “Walking with God” using Abraham as an example. As you walk with God and abide in His presence you not only get to KNOW the Lord, but the Lord gets to KNOW You! Intimacy with God brings REVELATION of His purpose, “Shall I hide from Abraham what I am doing?” (v.18) That revelation is a seed from God to bring you to a place of intercession. God RESPONDED to Abraham’s Intercession because the Lord Knew him - “For I have known him…” (v.19) The question is: “Does the Lord KNOW You?”
Pastor Alexander continues with part three of the message “When the Lord Passes By?” When the Lord comes to us and we welcome Him and minister to Him, He SPEAKS fruitfulness to our barrenness. But to receive the promise blessing we must STEP OUT of our tent of Fear and Unbelief and have FAITH in the Promise-Giver. The Lord declared to Sarah, “It there anything to hard for the Lord? At the appointed time I will return to you…” There is an appointed time for your miracle of fruitfulness to come from the Lord.
Pastor Alexander continues with part two of the message “When the Lord Passes By will he Pass you By?” When God visited Abraham, he declared, “My Lord, if I have now found favor in Your sight, do not pass on by Your servant, THEN Abraham MINISTERED unto the Lord. (Genesis 18:3-4). In those times of SPECIAL visitation, we need to learn how to RESPOND appropriately to make Him welcome, OTHERWISE, He will pass us by. In today’s study we will identify six ways we can Minister to the presence of the Lord.
Pastor Alexander continues the series “Walking with God” using the example of Abraham a man who was called “a friend of God.” Although God is always with us, there are times when God visits you unexpectedly. And in those times of SPECIAL visitation, we need to learn how to RESPOND appropriately to make Him welcome, OTHERWISE, He will pass us by. When God visited Abraham, he declared, “My Lord, if I have now found favor in Your sight, do not pass on by Your servant (Genesis 18:3). What do you do when the Lord passes by? If we’re not careful, we might miss the opportunity when the Lord passes by, and He will pass us by without a visitation of His Glory!
When in the natural all seemed hopeless, then Lord appeared to Abram and said, “I am Almighty God.” Abram’s immediate response is to “fall on his face” before God! And God responds by asking Abram to do two things: walk before him and be blameless. Then God reestablishes His Covenant with Abram, and CHANGES his NAME from Abram to Abraham and changes Sarai to Sarah! When we enter into covenant relationship with God by Believing and Obeying him, God gives us a new name. It’s our responsibility to embrace our new name.
The biggest challenge to our faith when the promise is delayed is our own impatience. Sometimes we get ahead of God and try to help God out in our OWN FLESHLY ways. When we do, then we reap the consequences of sowing to the FLESH rather than to the SPIRIT. Abram and Sarai grew impatient and tried in the FLESH to help God fulfill his promise, but they learned the hard way that man’s ways are never God’s ways, no matter how sincerely they are presented. In today’s study we’ll identify three resources for triumphing over the flesh as we deal with our own impatience.
Our biggest challenge to our faith is WHEN the PROMISE is DELAYED! You see, delayed promises will either WEAKEN or STRENGTHEN our FAITH. The true genuineness of our faith will be revealed when we respond to delayed promises! In our study we continue looking at the example of Abram as he struggled with delayed promises, and through his struggles he learned to strengthen his faith. In today’s study pastor Alexander will identify at least five things Abram did to strengthen his faith that we too can do to strengthen ours.
On this Father’s Day pastor Alexander continues the series focusing on the life of Abram “The father of the faith” as an example of pursuing the purpose of God in our lives. As we pursue the purpose of God we will sometimes be led to walk in darkness. In those dark times, God knows exactly where we are every moment along the way. He never abandons or loses track of His children. We need to learn how to navigate in the dark hard times of life by looking at the dark times in the life of Abram. In today’s study pastor Alexander identifies at least five keys to learn to walk through the darkness.
Pastor Alexander continues the series focusing on the life of Abraham as an example of pursuing the purpose of God in our lives. As your journey with God and experience victory and triumph in one area of your life, it does not prevent an attack in another area. IF the enemy cannot successfully attack you from WITHOUT, then he will attack and temp you from WITHIN your own ego and desires. Abraham is an example we can follow in overcoming those attacks as we move from triumph to triumph.

In part 3 pastor Alexander focuses on Abraham as the example of an person that fully pursued God’s purpose and plan for his life. When Abram RESPONDED by OPENING his HEART to God’s Purpose in faith and obedience, God OPENED HIS heart in revelation of a covenant blessing He was establishing with him.

If we will RESPOND to God’s purpose the same way as Abraham – OPENING our HEARTS to God, then God will again OPEN His heart of covenant blessings to us as well.

I am convinced that it is our God ordained role to pursue the purpose God has for each of our lives. Unfortunately, some have given up on pursuing God’s purpose thinking it’s only something for young people to do, or perhaps they have settled in a comfort zone when God is wanting to stretch them. Sometime God brings us through the valley of hardship in His purpose. Following God’s purpose is not always the easy road, but it will ultimately bring you into the possession of the promised blessings!

In today’s message we celebrate the victorious work of Christ in Holy Communion by REMEMBERING what Jesus has done for us on the Cross through the sacrifice of His BODY and His BLOOD. Scriptures make it abundantly clear that it is the precious blood of Jesus Christ, the blood of the Lamb of God, that SAVES us from our SIN.

Jesus had a lot to say about priorities and making the main thing the main thing. The main thing is to obey God and the first and greatest commandment is all about increasing your Love for God and others. “Jesus has something to say about “increasing your passionate love” – the deepest expression of love itself that flows from PASSION within the HEART of man toward God!
