Forward Church Sermons

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...

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

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.

We pray that you are encouraged and enriched by the word of God. Guest speaker Lyle Camp presents his message: Devil Bad, God Good

Good morning and welcome to Forward Church! We pray that you are encouraged and enriched by the word of God. Guest speaker Lucas Miles presents his message: persevering in the truth.

From the beginning of time, God has desired to live with his people and walk among them. We brought sin into the world and became separated from God. Jesus repaired the breach through his own body. God now dwells in us and walks with us. He does this to bless us and lead us to be a blessing to the world. God is with you to be a blessing. As you go about your day, ask yourself how you can be a bles...

God's Perspective for God's World - Nate Tanner by Forward Church Sermons

Sometimes we pray and don’t feel like anything is happening. So over time we pray less and come to believe it doesn’t make much of a difference. But we must have faith in the power of prayer. God has given mankind authority over the planet and the prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective. Prayer is a way to affect the world with God’s will, which is always. We must continue to pray from...

We can initiate a new great awakening by being doers of the Word and not hearers alone. Doing the Word prepares our hearts to live in the finished work of Christ. We are called to be doers of the Word and not hearers alone. Why? So we can please God and get into Heaven? No. Because the world needs to see examples of the righteousness of God and they need to hear the Gospel, the good news of the ki...

The spiritual practices of contemplation and meditation are the catalyst to understanding and transformation. As we hold God’s Word in our minds and hearts, His logos, His word, His logic emanates into our thinking, emotions, and choices. It’s a way to reprogram our set points. Be still and know God becomes more than a lovely thought, it becomes a way of life to be led by God.

You can not improve on your salvation, but you can experience more of it. You are complete in Christ in your spirit, but your mind, soul, and body can use a little renewal. We can engage in spiritual practices and disciplines to keep our hearts soft toward God and keep our minds renewed so we don’t limit His will in our lives. This week we’ll explore the discipline of prayer. God already knows wha...

Life is hard sometimes. Things happen that are so disappointing that it affects how we make decisions for the rest of our lives. We often give up on ourselves and slip into a survival mentality, believing that living a fulfilled life is not for us. While life may be challenging, we have a promise from God that our joy can be full, even amid disappointment, fear, and failure. Join us today and be e...
