Grande Prairie Alliance Church

Our loved Lead Pastor, Anthony Bulmer's final message and blessing to and for Grande Prairie Alliance Church.

What coping mechanisms do you cling to instead of going to God? When we recognize our human limitations and fully submit our hearts to God to work through us, that is when real heart change happens. Jesus called us to a life of humility, remembering who we are and who God is.

Have you ever thought about how you appear to others? Does your life reflect an intimate relationship with God? Transformation happens when we act in response to the leading of the Holy Spirit.

How do we win against the schemes of the enemy? How do we claim the victory in our lives when the lies come? We have to stand firm in the Truth.

What does forgiveness actually look like? There is a reason why Jesus commanded us to forgive; bitterness brings bondage; forgiveness brings freedom.

How do we navigate these times that we are currently living in? We are ambassadors of Christ; God is calling us to be His voice of reconciliation, truth, grace, and integrity.

In a world full of suffering and hardship of which none of us is exempt, God redeems our human experience by being our comfort. We have been given this blessing in order to bless others when they go through the inevitable realities of life; we are comforted so that we can comfort others.

We all have core beliefs that lead us, guide us, and form the foundations that determine how we navigate the world. The Bible is God’s correcting influence into the lies, fear, and half-truths that drive our fallen nature. We need to be in relationship with God in order to experience the fullness of the grace and peace that He has promised to us.

Dads, you are a beacon in a world that is in desperate need of engaged, compassionate, and godly fathers. Keep leaning into your Heavenly Father in order to be the father that you have been called to be.

Did you know that there is a battle for your mind? Everyday we wage war against what we believe; what are lies and what is truth? Jesus is the only answer for both your salvation and for whatever journey and struggle that you're walking through in the here and now.

How do you stay connected with God? Is it more about the ritual instead of the relationship? If we are going to be a missions-focused church, we need to make a choice to get ourselves right with God. Let us prioritize individually abiding in Him in order to make our lives an overflow of the Holy Spirit's leading.

Do you share God’s passion for the nations? Hear from the PRBI’s President about the work that still needs to be done around the world and how God’s passion for the unreached should be our motivation.

In Acts 1:8, Jesus also emphasizes the importance of letting the Holy Spirit be your guide as you live a life on-mission to spread the Gospel; we need to be in tune with His voice in order to be attuned to His mission. Let’s be a Holy Spirit-driven people where our lives, our actions, and our words are a direct reflection of His leading.

In Acts 1:8 Jesus instructed believers to be His witnesses. What does it mean to be a witness? How do followers of Jesus tell others about Him? Is our witness helpful or hurtful? Where do we start?

(May 9, 2021 | Pastor Anthony Bulmer) Motherhood. The struggle is real. Moms, God is with you. He turns His face towards you. He wants to walk with you. He wants to talk to you and you to Him. He loves you and gives you peace. Listen to the blessings and promises of His presence.

Because Jesus is The Coming King we are committed to doing our part to complete Jesus' Great Commission. Jesus will return. This is our motivation to live a life on-mission.

Because Jesus is Healer miraculous healings still occur today. It's is all about glorifying Jesus. It’s not about us. It’s all about Him!

When Jesus paid the price on the cross for your sin, He set you apart for a greater purpose. To align ourselves with this calling, we need to make the continual choice to maintain a relationship with God, to be filled with the Holy Spirit, and act in obedience to His leading.

Because Jesus is Saviour we can be saved from our sin, become members of God's eternal family, and experience an abundant life.

What does it look like to live out the knowledge that Jesus is alive? What does it look like to let Him speak to you and then act in obedience? Living with resurrection power means living out your fullest life to your fullest potential; it means living to be who you were created to be. There's always more Jesus for us to experience.

Jesus is on the move today just like He was over 2000 years ago on Palm Sunday; have you accepted this as truth in your life? How does your life demonstrate the triumphant freedom that you have been given?

We were created in the image of God to work hard, in all things, for His glory.

May we be a people who pray for Jesus' message to spread rapidly and for deliverance from evil in the process. Beyond this, we need to rest in the confidence in who He is and what He can do.

We cannot be solely self-reliant on understanding that we acquire in our own strength from this world. No matter what knowledge we consume, what emotions we feel, or how 'spiritually' we govern ourselves, we need the power of the Holy Spirit to be the guiding force in our lives.

We have been promised freedom from even the sting of death when we lean into the truth of who God is and who we are in Him.
