The Saving Savior In You - Tori Ivey by Forward Church Sermons

Jesus promised us the Holy Spirit. When he described life with the Holy Spirit, he described a relationship. He described a relationship where his Spirit would speak with us, guide us, help us, and strengthen us. Today we’ll discuss how to hear God better from a Biblical perspective. It’s easier than you think.

"The gifts of the spirit" is a loaded phrase. Think of the "gifts" as empowerments or manifestations of the spirit. The "gifts," or, to use a better word, graces of the spirit, are not individual abilities. They are expressions of manifestations of God through people. They are not to be isolated as if one person can do one thing and another person can do another thing. All the graces of the spirit...

What is prophecy? Do we have prophets today? While no one but the Holy Spirit can teach people to prophesy, because it’s a manifestation of His presence, we can make sure we have the proper ingredients for New Covenant prophecy. All prophecy should build up and comfort, as well as testify of Jesus. Join us today for more on this topic.

God confirms our sonship and guides our steps.

It's easy to take our mothers for granted. Many of us have or had wonderful moms, while others did not. This can be a restful, joyous day for some; for others, it can be a day of bitterness and remorse. Whatever your experience, there is biblical instruction regarding both sides of motherhood that is valuable and applicable. Happy Mother's Day!!!

The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For in Him all things were created, things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities. All things were created through Him and for Him. Colossians 1:15-16 This passage makes a profound point, that everything was created for Jesus. All of creation was a gift.

God is sovereign, but maybe not in the way you think. He is the all-powerful creator of everything, but he is not currently using that power to manipulate the everyday events of every person’s life. He has a spiritual, big-picture plan he’s working where he’s bringing all things together in Christ, but we are still responsible for our choices and direction in life. We hope today’s message brings y...

Jesus did what he did for us because it brought him joy and because he deeply loves us. We can allow his love for people to move us as well, in fact it’s what we’re supposed to be known for. Today we’ll discuss how to cultivate compassion for people to increase the kingdom.

He has risen! Jesus has overcome death, hell, and the grave and has sat down on his eternal throne, making a way for all who believe to enjoy eternal life in his glorious kingdom! We pray you have experience this new life that’s only in him.

Jesus knew that God had sent him into the world to die on the cross and save sinners. The last week of his earthly life was heart-wrenching and painful, but he endured it for us. Jesus asked God if there was a different plan, not wanting to be forsaken by his Father, but he still endured. He endured the shame of the cross for the joy set before him, which is us. Thank you for joining us today. We...

The world should know us by our love for one another, and our unity in Christ as believers should compel the world to believe. Thanks for joining us today as we discuss a strategy to be a sign to the world that God sent Jesus for them too.

Jesus said his words are spirit and life. His words are not just ideas, they are packages of spiritual life. His words created the universe. His words uphold all things. His words are not just ideas for us to ponder, they are packages of spiritual life for us to digest and assimilate into our entire being to experience transformation, enjoy health, and walk in power

Jesus came to give us life. That has two meanings. He brings us from spiritual death to eternal life. And he gives us His life. He doesn’t just make us alive, He actually gives us the quality of life He possesses. Worship with us today and be encouraged by this life-giving word today, thanks for joining us!
