How is your faith? Tune in as Pastor Fred teaches from the Word how to stay strong in faith.
We fear when circumstances are uncontrollable and the future is uncertain. With our recent declaration by W.H.O. that we are in a pandemic, fear is at an all time high. We continue in Psalm 91 to talk about our walk in faith.
Fear is something everyone deals with. The Bible has more verses on fear than heaven or hell. In the New Testament the first word spoken to a person was, “Do not fear.” Psalm 91 is the Psalm that helps diffuse fear.
The Lord makes my life different. It is His will but the work of the Holy Spirit that releases me to be and do differently.
Most people know that they need some change in their lives. The Lord promises amazing grace that transforms my life. I become different like a caterpillar changing into a butterfly; I’m a new person.
We are all part of God’s restoration project. All of us have been scratched, dinged, and hit in a variety of ways and places. God’s purpose is to redeem and restore your life even though you don’t deserve it, that’s called grace. Grace is kindness. The Lord looks for opportunities to show love and kindness.
No matter what you’re facing, when you shine the light of God’s word onto your situation you will be able to see that out God is more than enough!
Grace is multifaceted. One side provides salvation, another the manifest power of God. God’s people have problems and get discouraged. God’s promise and power through grace brings breakthrough.
It is the heart and will of God to show grace. Grace is love in action. He extends grace because He loves us. In this teaching we give 4 suggestions on how we can extend grace in difficult circumstances.
Grace is the favor and blessing of God that is not deserved and can’t be earned, but it is available. It’s not automatic but it is something that we can learn to release. This message gives us 4 ways to activate grace.
Christmas is important. We understand the priority when we read the gospels. God spoke 15 times to 8 different people to be be sure we could focus on the message and meaning of Christmas. Go out and do likewise.
Some things need clarified like Christmas. People have fuzzy thoughts around the meaning and purpose of Christmas. Jesus is the reason for the season. This study explores why Jesus came and what that means to me.
Studies confirm the overwhelming majority of the population are stressed. Many physical problems and turnover in the marketplace occur because of stress related issues. Out study gives 4 specific ways we can acquire peace throughout the busy and demanding Christmas season..
Are you a thankful person? Thankless people have difficulties in life. Thankfulness can be learned and it impacts all areas of our life.
The Bible warns against deception that comes from within, from false teaching, and demonic spirits. This message gives 4 suggestions to keep us strong in our faith.
Jesus loves us and has given gifts to us so that we would not face life alone, unprepared, or unarmed. The discerning of spirits is giving to help us in this age of cultural confusion and spiritual ignorance.
The Bible is filled with miracles (Old Testament, Gospels, New Testament). They are still available today. This message discusses what hinders the miraculous and how to experience a miracle.
We are spirit, soul, and body (1 Thes. 5:23). The Lord is interested in bringing wholeness to every facet of our life. The death of Jesus Christ was not a tragedy but a triumph. Healing is released because of what He accomplished through His sacrifice.
The Bible puts great importance to the human body and healing. We are the temple of the Holy Spirit. It is the Lord’s will for us to be healthy and whole. The coming Messiah (Isaiah 53:4-5) was prophesied to bring healing and wholeness. The New Testament tells us that is Jesus.
The word faith is only mentioned 2 times in the Old Testament but is lived out through people. The gift of faith is the ability to believe the Lord’s promise and power released for any given situation.
The word of knowledge is not learning acquired through education, experience, or some psychic phenomenon. In fact the Bible warns about the demonic source behind that kind of knowledge. This is supernatural knowledge or facts given by Holy Spirit revelation.
There are 9 spiritual gifts given in 1 Cor. 12. This is not man’s wisdom but inspired wisdom from the Holy Spirit for a specific need. There are 2 specific purposes which we will explore in this study.
God desires to give us gifts. They are designed to help us live and function effectively. They are intended to inspire, direct, and encourage fellow believers
The greatest need in the church today is not more buildings, or staff, or programs, but the power and work of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit helps us to be effective and gives us power to accomplish all He desires through us.
The Lord wants us to be people of impact and influence. What kind of believer are you? If you’re unsure, others know, the devil knows, and the Lord knows. We will explore 3 categories of people in Nicodemus, Lazarus and Peter to see what made them effective believers.
