First Love Online Church (FLOC)

In part 5 of Winning the Church to Christ, Pastor Niral speaks on the spirit of Saul versus the spirit of David. He points out how each man dealt with the correction of their prophets, and how these two dynamics relate to discipleship in our present day. 

On a beautiful spring Saturday afternoon, Elder Ose Burnett, Tomi Oyegbola, and Elizabeth Barsoum joined together in a podcast to speak to single women on what to do to be married. Very often in singleness, women (and men) are instructed on what NOT to do in their singleness. But, what SHOULD a woman do in anticipation of getting a spouse? How should she present herself to the world, as she prays...

In this fourth part of the Winning the Church to Christ series, Pastor Niral speaks on the “Unceasing Prayer” portion of the First Love Fellowship mission. Pulling from chapters 8 and 9 of the book of Ezekiel, Niral ministers on the inkhorn judgment which began in the house of God, and why it is imperative that every believer became an intercessor— a prayer warrior on behalf of the Church. This is...

The Matthew 25 mandate is a charge that EVERY CHRISTIAN should take as a matter of life and death, because it is. Judgement is decided, based on this mandate. Eternity is in the balance, based on this one teaching of Jesus. Still, there is glory, and reward for anyone who would answer the call of Jesus to engage in what He considers priority. In this message, Pastor Niral teaches on why every co-l...

Niral and Ose continue the discussion of Winning the Church to Christ, exposing major needs int he body of Christ, keeping us safe from those who "creep in," based on the book of Jude.

Pastor Niral ministers a foundational message for First Love Fellowship, from Isaiah 62:1. Decades ago, he saw it coming -- a time where the church would become a mission field of people who were subject to apostate culture to the point that evangelism had to happen in our church walls. Now, we are resisting this apostasy by bringing the gospel message to the church. You are invited to become a pa...

Worship is more than a song we sing. It is not just music. While it may involve music at times, true worship is more about surrender and sacrifice. In this second part of the True Worship message, Pastor Niral teaches on what it really means to worship God, and what it costs. 

Are you willing to suffer? Are you selling to give up everything? Are you prepared to lay all aside, for the sake of Christ? Is your life in total surrender? In this message, Pastor Niral teaches on True Worship, which always involves sacrifice -- even the sacrifice of one's life. This may not be a popular message among the "feel good" culture of today's church, but it is a message to those who de...

This concludes the series, The Manifest Presence of God. 

In this message, we review the Revelation Gifts of the Spirit. Pastor Niral speaks on the idea that the spiritual gifts mentioned in 1 Corinthians 12 were always meant to be the means by which the church operated, as one body in Christ. Clearly, there must be something about the Church that the world cannot replicate -- something supernatural. It's time to return to the first works, and allow room...

This third part of this series speaks of the gifts of the Spirit. Even among "Charismatics," the Spirit has become more of an expression than a spiritual reality. Pastor Niral speaks to this issue by diving right into the gifts of the Spirit, and why they are important for this day. In this message, he speaks on the power gifts: Miracles, healing, and faith. 

When men in the Bible came into contact with God, everything changed. Today, we are proficient about speaking of Him, but we are weak in engaging Him. In this message, Pastor Niral outlines why it's important in our day to encounter God. 

Go to any church in America, and you will hear a message about God. The internet is rife with people debating about Him. Even we, in our devotional lives consume data about Him. When do we actually meet this God? How can we actually engage Him beyond reading about Him, or hearing about Him? It seems the the entirety of scripture shows us a God who wants to be close. Yet, so few experience that clo...

This is the final FLOC podcast of 2023. Niral and Ose share some insight on what the church must do to prepare for what every indicator seems to suggest, will be a tumultuous year. What are the expectations God has of us? How can we live, blessed even though the world around us is going crazy? What are the concrete actions we must take? It's all in this episode. 

Join Elder Ose, Krystal Thomas, and Murielle Joseph as they share teaching and testimonies of God's faithfulness! 

The process of healing involved PRAISE! In this episode, Krystal Thomas speaks on the process of healing that allowed her to walk out of the hospital with a healthy son, who had been diagnosed with leukemia. Elder Ose joins her as host, as they both share strategies on how to overcome when all the odds are against you. 

Even as believers, we often miss the blessing of God because we are simply not diligent. Seeing this, the world is run by people who admittedly, work harder than most of us. What place does WORK have in our every day life? In this fourth part of "Faith: Trusting God Without Losing Your Mind," Pastor Niral speaks about diligence, and th benefit it offers to those who dare to ignite the fire and pas...

There may be several reasons why you feel as though you have no direction in life. You may feel like you have no motivation. Perhaps you don't even want to get out of bed in the morning. It could even be that your desires are skewed, and you are not sure if what you want is what God wants. All of these issues are answered by your devotional life. Pastor Niral and Elder Ose share on Faith: Trusting...

Pastor Niral shares from the book of James as the church enters a new phase in the light of current events in Israel. This is a warning against double-mindedness. It's time to be steadfast in our faith, without wavering! 

Join Elder Ose as she shares on the topic of Faith, and its relationship with honor. 

In this final message of the series, Niral dives into the agenda of the AntiChrist, and how false prophets in the present day serve as forerunners of the actual False Prophet and AntiChrist. Citing scriptures in Revelation, fair warning is given regarding the mark of the beast, and being addicted to the cares of this world.  

For many years, the church has made a deliberate attempt to get rid of "hellfire and brimstone" teachings. While there may have been good reason for that in some cases, it seems that the pendulum has swung in a different direction, where today, the fear of God has left the church. In this series, a clear warning is given on the reality of hell, coupled with the hope of the gospel to deliver lost s...
