Faith Alive Church - Sunday Message

Joshua Boyd There is no other person in history whose life details were foretold more than Jesus.  From birth to death, the Father, through the Holy Spirit, gave the prophets of old foreknowledge to write it down.  Every one of them were fulfilled.  With that context, there are two main points of focus for us today.  First is that we solidify and encourage our belief in Jesus Christ as the chosen...

Focus on Faithfulness Jordon  Gilmore 1. Don’t quit, don’t give up: because heaven is worth it and so is the crown 2. Believe in the goodness of God Psalm 100:5 NLT

Joshua Boyd Our thought cycles can get caught up in a loop if we don’t stop it.  And it is in our hands to do so.   Isaiah 26:2  Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee. Full trust equals full peace.  The opposite of full trust is doing what the toddler does:  looping our anxiety over and over again.  The responsibility of trust is ours.  The...

Joshua Boyd God puts Godly people in your life, not to have a “friend” but to have a co-worker in the kingdom.  They may encourage you, bless you, pray with you, and work with you.  Not everyone will be in your life forever.  Not everyone will connect with you the same way.  But cherish those connections while you have them.   In other words, God’s message would have not gotten out to all the Gent...

Jevertus Burnett The only thing that matters, is to be in His presence and behold His beauty.

Joshua Boyd Romans 15:1-4 "We who are strong must be considerate of those who are sensitive about things like this. We must not just please ourselves. 2 We should help others do what is right and build them up in the Lord. 3 For even Christ didn’t live to please himself. As the Scriptures say, “The insults of those who insult you, O God, have fallen on me.”[ a ] 4 Such things were written in...

Jordon Gilmore Roman 14 The release from the law leads us into the new life of liberty.  

Joshua Boyd Jordon Gilmore Join us for a special joint teaching session where we discuss Romans 13.   Authority is of God Romans 13:1-5 "Everyone must submit to governing authorities. For all authority comes from God, and those in positions of authority have been placed there by God. 2 So anyone who rebels against authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and they will be punish...

Jevertus Burnett It begins by knowing what God is like, then seeing ourselves the way God sees us in Christ—by the renewing of our minds Romans 12:1-2 Weapons 1. The truth of God’s word revealed in our hearts 2. The Word of God Truth 1. God is holy, and when we have renewed minds, we are holy too 2. What we have to bring is acceptable and pleasing to God 3. God is leading us in a way that is good...

Joshua Boyd Measuring Up How many of you growing up had older brothers or sisters that people compared you to?  You can feel as if you have moving target to aim toward the older you get.  In contrast, if you are the older one, people can hold you to a high standard just by being the first to attempt to accomplish things in life.   Comparison and competition in inherent qualities in humanity.  In s...

Jordon Gilmore Romans 11:16-18 key verses Meditate on this question: Has God reneged on His promises? 1. God always keeps a remnant according to grace.  2. Rejection of God (failure to respond to Him by faith), leads to spiritual disability The still small voice and the ability to hear the small voice, are both the grace of God

Joshua Boyd Salvation is Here Romans 10 The greatest gift God ever gave the world was the gift of His Son and the salvation that came in believing on His Son.  Christianity isn’t Christianity without it.  Salvation is here.  Now.  That is the theme of the letter to the Romans in chapter 10:  getting right with God, salvation, only comes through faith, not by keeping the law. Unfortunately, religio...

Joshua Boyd God, in showing His plan for humanity, used the example of Jacob and Esau to display it.  There will be some who don’t believe and some who do.  All are destined, because of sin, for judgment and death.  Only by grace are we saved.   Does that mean that I have no choice in salvation?  Was I predestined to be saved and could not have chosen not to?  Listen to find out!

Jordon Gilmore Romans 7

Joshua Boyd No one serves no one.  In other words, everyone is serving someone or something at all times in their life.   My message title and question to you today is: who are you serving?  The Holy Spirit through Paul asks a few questions in this chapter too.  The first one in verse 1:   should we keep on sinning so that God can show us more and more of his wonderful grace?  NO!  We are dead to...

Joshua Boyd The Roman’s Road Part 5 - God’s Gifts  Beginning with John the Baptist, the message of the gospel,  was to repent of your sins.  After Jesus resurrection, the good news of the gospel is repent and receive the salvation from death that offers.  God gave us the gift of His Son to start a new covenant with humankind.   You and I were counted sinners in this world even before we did anythi...

Joshua Boyd Chapter 3 Cont – The Fairness of God When we read Romans, remembering that originally it was a letter written to believers – a correspondence from Paul to a group of people.  Paul, inspired by the Holy Spirit, is preaching the good news to them – and us – in the letter, telling us in chapter 1 how important it is to accept and worship God as Creator.     In chapter 2, he commands us no...

Jordon Gilmore Romans 1:18-32 Romans 2:1-7

Joshua Boyd This book, written by Paul most likely when he was in Corinth around 60 AD, is a letter to the Christians in Rome, a place at this point in his life that Paul had not been to yet.  Chronologically, the letter to the Romans did not come first even though it appears in the NT as Paul’s first book.  Many consider Romans and Hebrews to be the “meatiest” of the letters of Paul.  And Paul wa...

Jordon Gilmore Mark 6:39-52

Joshua Boyd If you watch the news, especially local news, it seems there is bad news all the time. This person died, that person was injured.  It doesn’t end.  If we dwell on it too long it can paralyze us – keep us from doing anything or going anywhere.  Exactly what the enemy wants – to immobilize us for fear of harm.   There is something better for us though, safety in the Lord.  We have availa...
