There’s people in your life that God has placed there intentionally. You’ve also been placed in the lives of others intentionally. This is no accident or happenstance. God knows what He’s doing. If we can see clearly, we’ll understand that He’s intending on us to be provoke people to a relationship with Him. You may have good friends but do you have God friends? Furthermore, when adversity shows u...

Jesus only modeled an empowered Gospel. The demonstration of the Kingdom of God alongside the proclamation of it. The good news coupled with its manifestation. We should never have to choose one or the other, we need both. The proclamation of the pure, powerful Gospel of Jesus Christ. The empowerment of the Spirit is vitally needed to walk out this Biblical Christianity.

Jesus lived on mission. He preached and demonstrated the Kingdom of God everywhere He went while walking in obedience. He taught His disciples to do the same. Everybody is called to live like Jesus, no matter what degree of ministry they walk in. Some are called to simply minister to their families and friends everywhere they go and others have official positions in ministry within the church or o...

On May 6th, 1954 Roger Bannister broke the barrier of running a sub 4 minute mile. Up until that point, this feat was considered a near impossibility. Many had tried and failed for years. Once the barrier was shattered, only a little over a month later, the sub 4 minute mile was broke again by John Landy. Then it was broken again and again shortly after. It’s amazing what people can accomplish onc...

Pastor Josiah wraps up this portion of the first side of the coin, the Indwelling Work of The Spirit. When we’re saved the Holy Spirit goes to work on the inside of us, making us look and live like how Jesus did. We’re called to bear fruit that resembles the life of Christ in all things. There is a natural inclination to fight against this, the flesh, which we’re constantly waring against. The fle...

What you believe about Jesus matters. There could be a truth but if it’s not something that any individual specifically believes it won’t mean anything to them. Jesus told His disciples 3 different times about the his death and resurrection but they had trouble believing Him. It’s easy to see how even though He may be speaking to us directly, we may not be listening well. As it pertains to what we...

We’ll be known by our fruit. The Holy Spirit is producing fruit in our lives if we’ve truly yielded ourself to His work. It takes a sober mind to look at the fruit that being produced in our lives and determine whether or not we’re actually yielding to Him or not. The good news is, it’s never too late to welcome His work in our lives. Works and faith can have a happy marriage. They aren’t against...

Is your heart open to the will of God? With all our activity in this world, we can easily miss the beautiful things that Jesus is doing daily. This Palm Sunday, Faith Chapel invites you to reflect on Jesus' Triumphant Entry into Jerusalem from Matthew 21:1-11, through our podcast episode, "Don't Miss the Move.” We'll explore the deep themes of the event, explore its significance,...

The Holy Spirit is integrally involved in the salvation process. Some people see the Holy Spirit through a narrow lens of simply the gifts, but He is indeed God and does so much more in the life of the Believer on every level. Knowing what He does and how best to partner with Him is vital to a healthy walk. He is the Spirit of Christ, our present peace, rendering remarkable peace in each of us.

We’re a people of faith. By faith we manifest the Kingdom of God everywhere we go, as ambassadors of the Kingdom we represent the King! This fits so well with our Mission to Culture Like Christ as we aim at Jesus. There is a dominion of darkness but it holds no power over the Kingdom of light. Let’s not just know we’re a part of the Kingdom, rather on a regular basis we should be demonstrating the...

Venturing deeper into the Indwelling Work of the Spirit, we take an intrinsic look into key verses elaborating on the unique roles of the Holy Spirit in our lives. There is a river flowing out of the Believer. It’s not a stagnant water, it’s a moving water. The Spirit of God is moving and we’ve got to learn to flow with Him. This attacks the traps of stagnation and apathy which are tactics the ene...

Perhaps one of the most familiar Biblical stories is Jesus’ encounter with the woman at the well. Pastor Josiah hands out a fresh pair of lenses to look at this beautiful portion of Scripture. The radical choices that were made in this one moment changed the directory of thousands in the future. It was unconventional, powerful, provoking, sensitive and full of grace for transformation. You may hav...

Are you walking in the flesh or walking the Spirit? There’s signs that will prove who you’re yielded to. We’re supposed to be yielding to the Spirit of God who should be dominating us as we give Him more and more of our hearts. We’re designed to yield. As we yield to Him, there’s some incredible keys that free us from a lifestyle of bondage and they’re the same keys that open doors to Kingdom livi...

In order to live the life He’s called us to live, there is a degree of control we must let go of. People of the wind/Spirit can partner with but not control the wind. Ultimately, yielding to the control of the Spirit as we cooperate with the work of God in our lives brings us into the greatest blessings He has for us.

When Jesus is sleeping, we should be napping next to Him. When He’s making moves and rolling up His sleeves we should do the same. It’s how we handle storms and how we exercise our authority in all things, just like how Jesus did. He’s always teaching us and will often go out of His way in order to bring a lesson to us that will produce a growth we wouldn’t receive otherwise. What He’s doing in ou...

Am I my brothers keeper? What does the Scriptures have to say about the people around us and what it looks like for us to care for them? Furthermore, as it pertains to your family, how do you showcase the love and heart of God to them? Missions Director George Elias takes us through a barrage of Scripture uncovering the name and power of God commissioning us into action on behalf of those all arou...

So many Christians try to do things in their own strength and struggle without the power available through the Holy Spirit. You can be filled with the powerful Spirit of God where you have the ability to live a supernatural life in a very natural world. In this message, Pastor Tim talks about 3 ways that the Holy Spirit wants to empower us.

Jesus comes into the temple and when He see’s what it’s become, He does not tolerate it. He starts flipping tables, driving out the animals and shouting for them to get this out of there! What made Him so upset? The temple was never supposed to be like this. Ultimately, worship was never supposed to be so cheap and cost so little. Pastor Josiah shares about the original intent of the temple as wel...

Jesus breathed on His disciples and said “Receive the Holy Spirit”. As we dive into Him breathing on them we see a lot of parallels between the Spirit and breath or wind. We don’t normally focus on our breathing. We can, but it’s just something that we do naturally without thinking about it. As natural as it is for us to breath is as normal as it should be for us to walk in the Spirit. Furthermore...

It’s close to Valentines day and Pastor Josiah shares some thoughts on marriage and how to keep God at the absolute epicenter of our relationship with Him. He in of Himself is a relationship and out of His capacity for love, created us — built for relationship as well. It’s our faith that activates a response from God. Much of the Scriptures was God moving on behalf of men and women whose faith mo...

The conviction of the Holy Spirit is a very positive thing. He’s convincing you of the Christ. There’s things in our conduct and character that doesn’t look Christlike and when He convicts us of such things it’s because, in His love He’s working on making us look more like Jesus. This is the end goal of what we all desire! To be like Jesus in all things. His convicting work creates opportunity for...

John the Baptist had an incredible ministry of preparation. Getting things ready for the Messiah, but when He showed up, all bets are off! The disciples were leaving their other endeavors to follow Him and bringing those they were in relationship with to follow Him as well. This authentic Gospel was being displayed and the hungry ones were buying into it. We cannot be fake! We must be the real dea...

An authentic relationship with our LORD backs up and supports His powerful kingdom. Ask the LORD to show you how to love Him. Repent of your old ways of thinking, and seek Him wholeheartedly. Ask the LORD to show you what the kingdom walk looks like everyday so that you can be light and salt in this broken world.
