Forward Church

Join us this morning, as we commission Courtney and Heidi Olson, as they plant Forward Church northwest in Dallas, Georgia

The way you think is a matter of life and death. Romans 8:6 says it this way, “to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace, but to set the mind on the flesh is death.” To set your mind on the flesh is to think the way the world thinks, excluding the working of God’s spirit. The spiritual mind considers God’s ways and promises before making choices. The mind that is disciplined to be aware of i...

The world is broken and people are hurting. We, as followers of Christ, have the solution - the peace of God in our hearts. When our hearts and minds are experiencing the peace of God, we will trust and obey Him more clearly and have margin in our lives to help others. You don’t have to do big things for God, it’s the little, daily things that are motivated by love that bring Him glory. When your...

Join us for an update on Nate's work in the prison systems of Zambia.

God’s power is at work in you to give you strength and abilities. You don’t have to convince God to give it to you, but you do have to appropriate it. Join us today as we chat about laying hold of God’s power with your heart.

People misquote passages like “God’s ways are higher than our ways,” as a justification to be confused about God’s will. The fact is, if you are a Christian, God’s Spirit lives in you and is teaching you God’s ways. He even gave us a book to renew our minds so we would know his ways and be able to teach others his ways. Join us today as we discuss how to know God’s ways.

Jesus calls his followers salt of the earth and light of the world. Salt brings flavor, or fulfillment, and light brings clarity, or revelation. We are quite simply part of God’s story, life is not about us, it’s about him. We, as His followers, are to help people find fulfillment and enlightenment in him. Our only strategy is walking in love and communicating the Gospel. The Gospel is the power o...

Your life is not your own for you were bought with a price. When we hear these statements we can slip into a performance mindset. Yes, we do need to lay our lives down for the sake of the Gospel, but it's a natural process as we lead with love. Love is the greatest attraction to Jesus, it's our strategy. Love will win the world.

God has great meaning for your life, it's time to live from that identity. He considers you his bride and he would not choose a toxic bride. Thanks for joining us.

Your life is not your own, for you were bought with a price. If you don’t know your freedom in Christ, this statement can be a source of shame for you. Christians have been made to feel like they owe God, and the way you repay him is to be as good as possible. The good news is, God loves you no matter what. Once you are secure in your freedom in Christ, you become free to live in a way that honors...

Why did Jesus come to earth? We know Jesus was sent to die for our sin and give us the gift of eternal life. But there’s so much more in his incarnation and atonement. Join us today for a look into the cross of Christ.

In the Book of Isaiah we learn that God’s servant would not come as a conquering king, he would come as a suffering servant to deliver mankind form the darkness and rebellion of the human condition from the inside out. Today we will look at the Mission of Jesus and how you fit into the big picture.

Isaiah prophesied of a coming servant that would restore God’s people and bring healing to the nations. Jesus claimed that identity when He stepped into His public ministry when He said, "The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me, because the LORD has anointed me to bring good news to the poor; he has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the pri...

Crossing Paths: Eternities Intersect - Tori Ivey by Forward Church Sermons

Believers HAVE BEEN DELIVERED from the power of darkness, but what do you do when the enemy attacks? You magnify the supremacy of Christ, acknowledge your identity in Him, stand firm in your authority in Christ, and don’t allow your thoughts to run away. God’s spirit of love, power, and sound mind will strengthen you until the enemy leaves you alone. Join us today for the final message in this ser...

Spiritual warfare is not when you wrestle with demons, it’s when you wrestle with you own thoughts, to make sure they’re in alignment with the Word of God regarding Christ’s authority and your identity in him. When those are in place you simply stand and resist by resting in Christ, and the enemy will flee. A key to resting is a clear conscience. Join us today to discover the power of a clear cons...

Discover the truth about so-called generational curses. Jesus was cursed on the cross so you could be set free from the power of darkness. You don't have to worry if your great grandfather was a free-mason, that has no power in your life. However, familiar spirits do exist and they will try to perpetuate the same lies and sin habits that your ancestors struggled with. Join us today and hear good n...

Luciferian Doctrines of Demons (#3 in Know Your Enemy Series) - Clint Byars by Forward Church Sermons

Last week we discussed the origin of demons, this week we will establish a strategy to always win over the attacks of the enemy. We do not fight with force, we resist with authority. Our authority in Christ is our protection against any evil, lying spirit. Your role is not to shipwreck your confidence in Christ. The enemy has no power in your life when you know who you are in Christ.

What are demons and why are they here. In the first message of our new series, we will cover the history of demons, evil spirits, and dark forces. As the series progresses we will discuss how you can always win spiritual warfare and help others live free from demonic influence and deception.

We are so excited about what God is doing on the earth through the body of Christ. The good news of the kingdom is on the rise and people are waking up to righteousness

The mystery has been revealed to the saints, Christ in us the hope of glory. The apostle Paul warns us to beware of things that will try to cheat us from experiencing our completeness in Christ.

Not everything that happens is part of God’s plan. Angels rebel, people sin, and death spreads. These things happen because God gave us free will. As a result we see great suffering. But you don’t have to embrace all suffering. The only suffering God endorses is the persecution of faith. All other suffering, like depression, sickness, and loss are in the world through the destruction we’ve caused....

Pastor George Odero of Forward Church Kenya is with us today. We have been working with George for 10 years, planting churches, helping poor communities, and spreading the gospel of the kingdom throughout Kenya.
