Treasured Truth

On the next Treasured Truth , we’ll continue to look at the law today and understand how it exposes our sin, exalts God’s promises and enhances the gospel.  And Pastor Ford will remind us that if we’re crucified with Christ, then Christ lives in us and His love covers us. So, we’re under love, not under the law! To learn more about how we should be living lives that ar...

On the next Treasured Truth , Pastor Ford will help us understand that the law of the Old Testament was given to us to show that God had a standard that we couldn’t reach.  So, it demonstrated our need for God’s grace, through the promise that He gave, which would be fulfilled in Jesus Christ. To receive spiritual encouragement from Pastor Ford as he begins a new message series ca...

On the next Treasured Truth , Pastor Ford will remind us today that regardless of what we see going on now, whatever God has promised will happen is going to happen.  Regardless of what we feel now, it’s going to happen.  Regardless of who gets in our way, or whatever traps the Devil sets, we can always be confident that what God has promised is going to happen. To learn more about...

On the next Treasured Truth , as we start a new study in Philippians, Pastor Ford will explain that we can be confident no matter what happens, God is going to do what He’s said He’s going to do.  And we can’t say anything or do anything to change that.  No circumstances or anything that the Devil does, should ever persuade us to believe anything other than what God has...

On the next Treasured Truth , we’ll be that there are times when we will lose out on the blessings of God, because we don’t have enough faith to put all our trust in the plan that He has for us.  But Pastor Ford will explain there are also times when we place only part of our faith in His plan, and God still chooses to bless us fully. How God chooses to bless us, when He chooses t...

When you join us for the next Treasured Truth , as we look further at the story of Esther, we’ll learn more about how God brought her to a specific time and place in order for her to fulfill her destiny.  Pastor Ford will encourage us to consider how God wants us to use the time He’s given us in our lives to fulfill our own destinies and to do great things for Him.  So  ...

When we think about the time we spend living our lives for the Lord, we have a tendency to focus on duration. But God focuses on donation.  We focus on longevity, but God focuses on legacy.  We may hear someone say, “I’ve been saved for twenty years.”  And that may be true, but that person’s been out of God’s will for eighteen of those years.  So,...

On most tombstones, there’s the day of one’s birth and the day of one’s death, and then a dash in the middle.  We don’t control the day we’re born or the day we die.  But we do control what we do with the dash in the middle. And on the next Treasured Truth , Pastor Ford will encourage us to use our time now to make that dash count for the Lord. To learn more...

We have to remember that our attitude is crucial when we are seeking forgiveness from another person.  People generally judge the seriousness of our asking forgiveness based on the way our words come from our mouths.  If we don’t approach the conversation with humility, then it will definitely complicate the whole process.  And on the next Treasured Truth , Pastor Ford will co...

On the next Treasured Truth , as we continue to look at seeking forgiveness from others, Pastor Ford will explain how we often will make excuses for ourselves.  But he will remind us that Jesus died for our sins, not for our excuses. And we need to remember what we’re talking about when we seek forgiveness—it’s not what we feel about what we did to the other person.  Ra...

On the next Treasured Truth , we’ll be reminded that we have a God Who cannot love us more than He already does and will never love us any less.  And Pastor Ford will explain that even though we sometimes ignore the plan He has for us and we walk away from Him, He will never walk away from us.  No matter how far we stray, we never cease to be His children. To learn more from Pastor...

When you join us for the next Treasured Truth , Pastor Ford will explain that forgiveness is a dialogue and saying you’re sorry is a monologue.  In other words, when we say, “I’m sorry,” there’s nothing else to say about what’s happened.  But, when we say, “Forgive me,” now we’ve included the other person and it’s going to take...

When you join us for the next Treasured Truth , Pastor Ford will encourage us to not let the little things in our lives keep us from discovering the everything that God has for us.  And he’ll go on to explain that one thing God wants us to do in order to be in line with His will is to readily obey His precepts. To learn more from Pastor Ford as we conclude this series called Takers, fro...

On the next Treasured Truth , Pastor Ford will remind us that God’s word never has an expiration date.  It’s as relevant today as it was back in the beginning.  But we see in His word that God’s timing is not like ours.  Pastor Ford will explain that if God took 700 years to fulfill a promise about His Son, then He may also take more than just a few years to fulfil...

On the next Treasured Truth , Pastor Ford will continue his message series called “Takers.” And he’ll explain how in His word, God has given us the revelation about the promises that He has for us.  But He’s given us that revelation without giving us the manifestation of those promises yet.  That’s because there must be a demonstration of application on our...

On the next Treasured Truth , as we continue these messages from Joshua chapter 1, Pastor Ford will describe several aspects of faith that you might not have considered before. He’ll explain how faith sees the invisible, believes the unbelievable, does the impossible, complies with the incomprehensible, and accepts the intangible.  To learn more about how we can have faith and be certai...

On the next Treasured Truth , Pastor Ford will continue to encourage us about how we can overcome temptation. He’ll explain that when dealing with temptation, if you ask yourself, “Is it sin?” about anything, then it’s a good indication that whatever you’re considering is a sin to you.  The Bible says, “Whatever is not of faith is sin. ” So, if you ca...

When you join us for the next Treasured Truth , Pastor Ford  will continue to share his message series called “Takers.” He’ll help us understand that we often let the little things in life keep us from the everything that God has for us.  Because where God’s will is concerned, we need to understand two things—we’re either in the way or on the way. Join...

When you join us for the next Treasured Truth , Pastor Ford will explain that God has already given us the revelation—His promise.  But we don’t get the product—the manifestation of the promise—until we meet the qualifications for what God has said we can have.  To learn more from Pastor Ford  as we continue this series called Takers, from Joshua 1, join us f...

On the next Treasured Truth , Pastor Ford will remind us that everything we need is in Christ.  We can do all things through Christ who strengthens us.  There are no limitations.  There are no barriers.  We need to take the lid off our thinking, break out of the box and do the things He has called us to do. To learn more from Pastor Ford  and the book of Joshua about claim...

On the next Treasured Truth , Pastor Ford  will continue his message series called “Takers.” And he’ll explain how we must respond to God’s plan and also rest in His promises.  He’ll describe further how the more we depend upon God, the more dependable we find Him to be.  No matter what comes our way, we determine to follow God’s plan and He&rsquo...

On the next Treasured Truth , as we continue to look at how God commanded Joshua to take that land that was promised to the children of Israel, Pastor Ford will explain that sometimes the problem with us as believers is that we take the things that we shouldn’t be taking and we don’t take the things that we should be taking.  So, we have to be careful to determine what it is that...

On the next Treasured Truth , Pastor Ford will continue to encourage us about how we can overcome temptation. He’ll explain how no one is exempt from temptation.  The Bible says, “…let him who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall.” Your Bible knowledge is not going to exempt you.  Your service, or your singing in the choir, or your giving is not going to exemp...

When you join us for the next Treasured Truth , Pastor Ford will continue to share his message based on Joshua chapter 1 called “Takers.” And it may sound odd to our ears, but he’ll explain that Jesus is Himself a taker.  The most spectacular robbery in history didn’t happen in a movie.  It happened on a hill called Calvary where Jesus died and took our sins on Hi...

On the next Treasured Truth , we continue this series called “Takers,” Pastor Ford will remind us about how in the Old Testament, God elevated Joshua to a place of leadership so he could lead the children of Israel into the Promised Land.  He’ll also share some important leadership principles that will help us as we find ourselves in a position to lead others.
