In this teaching, Pastor Ronald Gabrielsen speaks about the importance of understanding time and seasons in life. Time is one of the most valuable gifts God has given us, and wisdom is not only knowing what to do, but also when to do it. Through Scripture and practical examples, this message will help you recognize the season you are in, use your time wisely, and trust God’s timing for your life....

In this teaching, we explore one of the most profound truths in Scripture: humanity was never created to live apart from God. Genesis tells us that man was formed from the dust of the ground, but it was only when God breathed into him that he became a living being. The body came from the earth, but life came from God. Discover how the Bible connects breath, wind, and Spirit, and why the Hebrew wor...

What transformed a fearful group of disciples into bold witnesses who turned the world upside down? In this message, we explore the meaning of Pentecost and the promise of the Holy Spirit. Jesus did not only save His disciples—He empowered them. The same Holy Spirit who empowered Jesus for ministry was poured out upon the Church, bringing boldness, revelation, and power to be His witnesses. Discov...

We live in a physical world, surrounded by things we can see, touch, and feel. To us, these seem most real—but they are only part of reality. The Bible teaches that behind everything we see there is a spiritual reality—unseen by human eyes, but just as real as the physical world. If we only look at the physical, we will always be shaken by circumstances. But when we learn to see with spiritual eye...

There is a battle raging right now, yet many Christians remain completely unaware of it or the tactics the enemy is using. As a result, they are like a city without walls—completely vulnerable to the enemy’s attacks. In this teaching, you will learn how the enemy operates and, more importantly, how you can protect yourself. Bible teaching by Ronald Gabrielsen, pastor of International Christan Fell...

Many Christians believe that sin is an unavoidable part of life. While it is true that we live in a world corrupted by sin, that does not mean we must live in bondage to it. Jesus has given us everything we need to live in full victory. Bible teaching by Ronald Gabrielsen, pastor of International Christan Fellowship Lublin

In a godless culture, Daniel stood firm in his faith, remaining loyal to God despite immense pressure to conform. Taken captive to Babylon, a symbol of rebellion against God, Daniel and his friends were immersed in a culture of idolatry and immorality. Given new names and trained in Babylonian philosophy, they faced numerous challenges to their Jewish identity. Yet, they chose not to compromise th...

Many go through the challenges of life with the attitude that they just have to survive. But I believe God wants us to shift our perspective on life's various challenges. Instead of merely enduring difficult situations, I encourage you to seek God's guidance on utilizing these circumstances. Rather than just surviving, I believe God wants you to thrive through them. Bible teaching by Ron...

Today most Christians usually end their prayers something like this “In the name of Jesus, Amen!”. But the name of Jesus is not some kind of magical formula, and do we really understand what we are saying when we use the name of Jesus in prayer? The name of Jesus is a powerful name that can make the gates of Hell tremble and demons run away with the tail between their legs — but what makes the nam...

I don’t think it's an exaggeration to say that most people don’t like to fast because let’s be honest – we like food and we don’t like to feel hungry. Yet, if we truly understood the benefits of fasting I think we would do it a lot more. Bible teaching by Ronald Gabrielsen, pastor of International Christan Fellowship Lublin

We live in an age of information, images, news, music, and more. Many psychologists are sounding the alarm, particularly regarding the effects of our smartphones and how they contribute to this overstimulation. Even though many Christians recognize the impact of social media on our lives, the notion that this could be a spiritual attack often goes unconsidered. Bible teaching by Ronald Gabrielsen,...

Many Christians have an image of what God is like, and they know Jesus as the friendly guy we read about in the Gospels, but many don’t really know where to place The Holy Spirit. But when Jesus was talking to His disciples, he told them that it was actually better for them that He left so that The Holy Spirit could come — but why would this be better?  Bible teaching by Ronald Gabrielsen, pastor...

When it comes to being a disciple of Jesus, consistency is crucial because there is no such thing as following Christ inconsistently. Furthermore, consistency is also vital in building one's character, as it is the actions you consistently take that shape who you ultimately become. Bible teaching by Ronald Gabrielsen, pastor of International Christan Fellowship Lublin

Many Christians caution against relying solely on spiritual experiences, emphasizing the primacy of the written word. However, valuing the written word does not mean one should downplay the significance of a personal encounter with God. Consider a doctor: while theoretical knowledge is essential, we would be apprehensive about a doctor operating on us if they lacked hands-on experience. Similarly,...

One of Jesus' main topics was the Kingdom of God, but what did He mean when He was teaching about this? Why does Mark 1:14 use the term "the gospel of the kingdom of God", and why did Jesus and John preach repentance when they preached about the Kingdom of God? These are Questions Ronald Gabrielsen is addressing in this teaching. Bible teaching by Ronald Gabrielsen, pastor of Intern...

We are all called to exercise leadership, both in our own lives and in our surroundings. To do this God has given us some amazing tools, that sadly many people don't really use.

The Bible is full stories of different people, and God has put these stories in the Bible in order to teach us from the lives of these people. This is the first of two sessions where Ronald is taking a look at Saul and David. Both of them had a call of God on their life and both of them were anointed for the call God had given them — yet one failed and one succeeded. In this lesson, we start to lo...

There are important life lessons to be learned from studying the lives of Saul and David. One failed, and one succeeded, and the reason for how their life ended is found in three crucial areas where their life was different. In this lesson, we take a look at these three areas. Bible teaching by Ronald Gabrielsen, pastor of International Christan Fellowship Lublin

Within Christianity, there are many different views on the issue of divine healing. But unfortunately, these views are often based more on our experiences than on the Word of God. In this two-part teaching, Ronald Gabrielsen is showing from scripture that God is a God who wants to heal. He also addresses some of the attitudes towards healing that are causing more doubt than faith. Bible teaching b...

Jesus came to show us the Father, and if we want to find out what God's view on healing is, we can just look at Jesus — because Hebrews 1:3 says that he is the exact representation of his being. In this second part of this series, Ronald also shows what Pauls's thorn in the flesh was. Bible teaching by Ronald Gabrielsen, pastor of International Christan Fellowship Lublin
