Now more than ever, we are reminded that we need to have faith. But, we need to go beyond just faith. We need to have unshakeable faith in God. Especially in these dark times, we need to continue to pray and praise God for who He is.
How do you go to God in prayer? Do you pray for everyone, or do you ask God to give you what you want? As we learn in this sermon, there’s more to prayer than we think. We break down Jesus’ prayer in Matthew to learn how to properly go to God.
The best is yet to come… Jesus is coming back! But, are you ready for when he comes back? In this sermon, we’re taught what it takes to get our souls ready for Jesus’ return so that we can meet Him in the middle of the air and spend the rest of our lives with Him.
Don’t tell God about your storms and troubles. Tell your storms and troubles about your God! In the second part of this two part message, we learn that it’s up to us, now more than ever, to go to work for Christ.
Holiness doesn’t depend on how “good” we are. It depends on our relationship with Jesus Christ and how we live.
When you’re told “don’t use the Lord’s name in vain,” we think it means don’t use swear words along with God’s name. But, did you know there’s more to it? Christians can use the Lord’s name in vain without cussing a day in their lives. In this sermon, we know what it truly means to be a Christian and understand how not to use God’s name in vain.
God sometimes places us in a situation to test our Love. He’s done this several times in the Bible, such as with Abraham. He’s also done this with His only Son, Jesus. It is our responsibility to evaluate ourselves in those situations and make sure that we are acting in the God-like Love that He has instructed us to do.
What kind of a representative of Christ are you? Do the works that you do best represent Christ? As Christians, we are ambassadors of Christ, meaning we represent Him in everything that we do. There’s more to being a Christian than looking like a Christian. Listen to this message to learn how to be a better representation for Christ.
Many Christians walk around exclaiming that “their God is awesome” and that “they believe God can do anything.” But, how many of us really believe that God can do ANYTHING? There’s more to believing that God can work in our lives than just saying that we believe. We have to wholeheartedly believe that God can do anything. Anything, but fail. Take this challenge and try Him today.
In this message, we learn that we need to look at people beyond their outward appearance. There’s more to people than what you see. We need to be like God and look at a person’s intentions. We need to look at their hearts.
In this message, we learn that every day of our lives is a battle. Mostly, the battle that we face is a spiritual one. Therefore, the protection and weapons we need must also be spiritual. Why? Because, we are in war against spirits. We need to use these weapons to defend ourselves while working to get closer to God.
God has a high expectation of us. There are three expectations God has for us. He expects us to be saved, obedient, and filled with the Holy Spirit. In this message, we learn that if we meet His expectations, He will bless us.
