We’ve all heard someone quote the verse, “Judge not, that you be not judged.” When used by itself, it sounds as if Jesus is prohibiting judging altogether, but He’s not.  What He is exposing and correcting is hypocritical judging.  Listen today as Pastor Fred teaches on how we are to judge appropriately and with authenticity.

Worry is a mental distress or agitation resulting from concern over something that’s anticipated.  Since worrying will divide your attention and draw you in another direction; Jesus clearly instructs us not to do it.  Today, Pastor Fred concludes his teaching on worry, by sharing some practical questions that we must answer if we want to live worry-free lives.

Living free from worry is a key element in building a life with rock solid foundation.  In Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount, He tells us not to worry about the things that pertain to our everyday lives. In today’s message, Pastor Fred teaches on the first of three questions that we can ask ourselves that will help us in eliminating worry from our lives.

Jesus tells a story at the end of the Sermon on The Mount about two men who built a house. These two men both had the same desire to build, listened to the same teaching and experienced the same storm. However, in the end, one man’s house stood because it was founded on the rock, while the other man’s house fell.  Listen to this teaching by Pastor Fred to learn how to ensure that your foundation i...

Even at the young age of twelve, Jesus had a keen awareness of His purpose when He told His parents that He must be about His Father’s business.  Twenty-one years later, after Jesus fully completed His assignment on earth, He passed the baton to His disciples (and to us) when He said, “As the Father has sent Me, I also send you.”  In the same way the Father sent Jesus on a mission, Jesus commissio...

When “the Word became flesh,” Jesus fulfilled the Old Testament prophecy that a virgin would bear a Son and they will call His name Immanuel which means “God with us”. When Jesus took on human flesh, He gave the world a visible expression of the true nature of God the Father.  When Jesus came, grace came because Jesus is the Person of grace.   

When the angel announced that “in the City of David there has been born for you a Savior,” he wasn’t only speaking to the shepherds because the good news of the Savior’s birth was for “all people.”  In today’s teaching, we’ll look at each of the four names that Isaiah says that the Savior will be called; Wonder Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father & Prince of Peace and how they apply to us pe...

If the enemy can’t keep you from being saved, he’ll do his best to keep you from serving.  Zacharias, the father of John the Baptist, gives a prophecy about Jesus just months before His birth.  In that prophecy, he says that we are saved to serve, but all too often, many people get saved to be served. Listen to today’s teaching and hear how we are to serve Him without fear, in holiness and righteo...

King David had first-hand experience with difficult times, but he didn’t allow his situations to control his life. In tough times, he would remind himself of God’s benefits; that God forgives all sin and heals all disease; that God redeemed his life, crowned him with love and mercy and satisfied him with good things. There is great value in remembering who God is and what He has done because He do...

Jesus has called us into a place of co-laboring with Him where He literally writes us into equation of bringing His will to pass. However, when you’ve had people telling you your whole life that you’re inadequate, it’s not uncommon to start thinking that you’re not qualified work with God. The good news is that God has already qualified you and when He qualifies you, you’re never unqualified, unde...

The Apostle Paul said that we are co-laborers with Christ.  We know that God can do anything that He wants, completely independent of us, but He chooses not to.  What an incredible thought - that we actually get to partner with Him and have the opportunity to shape history by having a creative effect on our surroundings.

A renewed mind doesn't merely think the thoughts that God thinks, but actually thinks those thoughts from the same perspective that God thinks from.  In other words, the renewed mind thinks from a different direction and a different reality.  However, having a hardened heart will limit the degree to which your mind is able to be renewed.  In today's teaching, you will be able to evaluate your own...

If you think that your lifestyle choices only affect you, then you’re forgetting that we are all part of the same body.  In order for the whole body of Christ to reach the fullness that God intends, each member must do his or her part and that includes our lifestyle.  Only when we allow our minds to be renewed and our attitudes to be changed can we be successful in putting off the former way of li...

Do you ever struggle with saying "No" to the wrong things that your flesh wants to do? God's Word says that the solution for not carrying out the desires of the flesh is to walk in the Spirit. But what does that mean? If you want to experience absolute victory in your life, listen to today's teaching and hear about seven practical ways that you can walk in the Spirit.

Jesus didn’t save you so that you would be stuck in your sin for the rest of your life. In order to help us to live in newness of life, the Apostle Paul tells us that there are a couple of things that we need to know. Since the old man was crucified with Christ, sin no longer has any power in our lives. So much so, that we are to consider ourselves as dead to sin and as alive to God as Jesus is. Y...

Water baptism is not a requirement for salvation, but since it is a commandment of Jesus, it should be one of the first steps of obedience a Believer takes after receiving Him. It symbolizes the spiritual realities that occurred the moment that you accepted Jesus; that you died with Him, you were buried with Him and you were raised to life with Him. You are in reality saying “Goodbye” to the old m...

If you’ve ever wondered, “Where is God in all of this,” then this message is for you. The prophet Nahum lived in a time when Judah was being oppressed by Nineveh and in the middle of his prophecy of judgment against that city, he also proclaimed a promise of hope for the people of God that still holds true today. He said, “The Lord is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; and He knows those wh...

Three out four times that Jesus called the Holy Spirit, the Helper, He also referred to Him as the Spirit of truth. Today, Pastor Fred continues with The Spirit of Truth, Part 2, and talks about how important of a role truth plays in being victorious over the schemes of the enemy. The more truth that you receive, the more victory that will manifest in your life.
