Feel My Faith

The world as it is, is not all that there is. The Bible teaches us that there are spiritual powers stirring our earthly problems. Should we be afraid? What influence do we have in our problems? Where is God in all of this? The Book of Ephesians gives the reader a Heavenly perspective on our earthly problems. This message considers Ephesians 1:3 and 6:10-20.

American Christianity is concerned about prosperity and success. We want our best life now despite the Biblical teaching that our best life comes later. Hebrews 2 teaches that Christ isn't concerned about our successfulness as He is our faithfulness. As our eternal Propitiation Jesus helps us with the penalty of sin. As our daily High Priest Jesus helps us with temptation.

You have an eternal problem. The good news is that through atonement Jesus can solve your eternal problem. This message begins an exposition of Hebrews 2 and the doctrine of atonement. This message is part of a series that answers the question of why did Jesus die for me? Video Link Brian's Website: FeelMyFaith.com

When Jesus died for you He didn't pay the price for you to go to Heaven. He paid the price for you! Jesus redeemed you from sin. In this message Brian explains what redemption means from Ephesians 1:7. He also uses an illustration to help us understand the power of two little words sprinkled throughout Paul's letters, "In Him" or "In Christ." What does it mean that we h...

Jesus died so you could be forgiven of your sins. But Jesus also died so that you could stop sinning. Walking in holiness is a million little decisions. The way you get out of a sinful habit is the same way you got into a sinful habit. Every decision is directional. Every day is a million little decisions to obey Christ from the heart. Doing so will increase the fruit of sanctification in your lif...

Everyone will stand before God and everyone has an eternal RAP sheet for which he will give account. But didn't Jesus die for our sins? Is so, what happens to our record? This message discusses the doctrine of justification as revealed in Romans 3. What is justification? How did Jesus' death secure our justification?

Jesus didn't just die for you because he loves you. One of the reasons He died for you is so that you may be reconciled to God. How does the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ reconcile us to God? What does it mean to be reconciled to God? How does this reconciliation effect our relationships? This message looks at verses on reconciliation from Romans 5 and Colossians 1. A clip from Prison...

Grace is amazing but it is not automatic. Many people know the words to the song but have yet to access saving grace. What is grace? Why do we need grace? How does one receive grace? The answers to these questions are in Romans 5. As we discover the answer to these questions it also helps us answer the question that is the concern of this series, why did Jesus die for me?

When Adam sinned we all sinned. When Adam sinned we were all doomed to die. But I wasn't there so how can that be fair? Romans 5 explains the marvel of God's sovereign wisdom and grace in setting up a system where one man's decisions can impact everyone else. Why? Because if one man can sin and all the rest become sinners, then through one man's life, death, and resurrection, sinne...

Love makes all the difference! Whether it's a home or a church you can have great facilities and prosperity, but when there is no love it amounts to nothing. 1 Corinthians reminds gifted people not to leave out love. And yes, I brought some toys to church for this message :).

The Spirit-led church is a manifestation of God at work in the world as He empowers His people through spiritual gifts. The cheap knock-off brands of the church are sanitized versions of idolatry where spiritual movement is nothing more than the manipulation of man. How can you tell the difference? The answer begins in 1 Corinthians 12:1-3 as we become self-aware of our propensity toward idolatry.

If you are going to win at the game of life you can't be playing checkers if the game is really chess. 1 John 4:1-6 reveals game changing information about the way you approach every facet of life. In a world that is both physical and spiritual material solutions won't work. Change the game!

The Bible talks about being filled with the Spirit. What does that mean? How does it feel? What would one who is filled with the Spirit experience? If I'm not filled with the Spirit, how can I become so?

Everyone wants to be happy. God is concerned for your happiness. But happiness does not come by "getting" but by "becoming." In Galatians 5:16-26 the Bible shows us how the Holy Spirit transforms our lives from the wasteland of centeredness to a virtuous walk with God.

If you knew you could invest in something that was guaranteed to make you wealthy you would do it. You wouldn't only do it, but you might even give up everything for it. Jesus said that when a person realizes the worth of the Kingdom of Heaven that they would give up everything in this world to have it. And that's exactly what Paul did. In Philippians 3 Paul talks about how he took a loss...

2 Corinthians 5 alerts us that everyday decisions have eternal consequences. We will all appear before the judgment seat of Christ. What do you need to do daily to be ready for your eternal appointment with the Judge?

The church started in Acts 2 on the Day of Pentecost. They prayed for 10 days. They didn't sing any songs. Peter preached for 1 minute and 27 seconds before people started responding and over 3,000 people were saved. That's how it started. As far as we see the church in America . . . how's it going? The church in America has left it's roots as a movement of the Holy Spirit of God a...

Contemporary Christianity expresses itself with highly produced worship services, influential podcasts and personalities, publishing houses, and resourceful local churches; but none of these things are the essence of the Christian faith. And none of these things will help you thread the needle when navigating some of life's most pressured moments. Jesus gave His apostles an advantage as they f...

How can you tell if the Holy Spirit is leading you, if God is speaking to you? Jesus outlines several experiences we will have if the Holy Spirit is in us. Judeo-Christian principles may make you conservative, but it is presence of Holy Spirit in you that makes you a Christian. Without the Holy Spirit a church is little more than a religion club.

How can you tell the difference between an inspiring thought and the leading of the Holy Spirit? In this message Brian looks at 7 experiences Jesus spoke of in the relationship between those who are born again and the Holy Spirit. This is part 1 of a set of messages from John 14.

In John 14:15-17 Jesus said there are two types of people when in relation to the Holy Spirit. Despite the Holy Spirit working in the world there is a group that does not perceive Him or know Him. The other group of people know Him because He dwells with them and in them. Which group are you? Do you know the Holy Spirit?

In the New Year we are challenged to have resolve and set lofty goals physically, financially, and spiritually. But you've tried it before . . . are you ready to fail again? Jesus gives us some surprising insight in Matthew 11:29-30 of why we fail at spiritual disciplines. He says our discipleship should be a burden that is easy, light and that in Him you will find rest for your souls. If we l...

When you are in a battle, weapons matter! You are in a battle! In this message we look at 7 realities from an extraordinary passage, Daniel 10, and explore the power of the weapon of prayer.

God is at work around you. Join Him in what He is doing. Take root and bear fruit! In this message I share how God is speaking, confirming, and working in the life of our church, Liberty Baptist. Isaiah 37:30-32

When a baby cries there is an instinctive rush to remedy what's wrong. When we can't figure out the problem, we give the baby a pacifier. We do this long into adulthood with the cries of our heart. Instead of turning to God in prayer and sharing with him the cries of our heart, we fill our lives with pacifiers. Doing so prevents truly satisfying answers to our heart cries.
