Our power to persevere and endure during the most difficult of challenges, trials, and tribulations is founded upon our faith, hope, and love of the LORD Jesus Christ. Without Faith we will not be convinced of God's kind provision for us as He continues to fulfill His promises. Without faith we will lack the confidence, trust, and follow through in obedience to His call to receive what He has prom...

This morning we finish the series on the three elemental facets of the faith of Christ. The faith the Christ had is the faith we are called to develop and possess. We are both justified and sanctified by the faith of Christ! We have already examined the facets of conviction and assurance of Christ's faith in us and this morning we will study the facet, the obedience of faith. Christ's faith led Hi...

I am extremely excited to share the many amazing things I am discovering in the Scriptures about the foundational teachings to build our ability to persevere in any and all circumstances! Remember, we need to be like the sons of Issachar, "men who understood the times, with knowledge of what Israel should do...!" 1 Chronicles 12:32 Brethren, I have found the three cornerstones for the power of per...

The sermon this morning will be a broad brush introduction to t...

This is the 3rd lesson in the Power of Perseverance series. The title of this lesson is For You Have Need of Endurance, and we will be discussing how our endurance plays into keeping the faith of Christ. As Christian's we will need endurance to overcome the challenges we face on a daily basis. Listen to find out how to manifest the endurance we need to stay faithful.

Two important points will be shared in this the first lesson on “Presence” The term “Presence” will be defined from both the Hebrew and Greek languages used in the Bible. The second point will identify the 4 aspects of concept of “Presence.”

There is no substitute for face-to-face presence in a person’s life. As a Christian Christ must be present in your body through His Holy Spirit. You must also be present in His life. We also need to be fully present in other people’s lives.

The Lord is present in every place, at all time, without exception. This is called the Omnipresence of God. We will answer the question of what does the omnipresence of God mean and also what our response should be to His omnipresence in our lives.
