Living Word Family Church Sermon Podcast

In this powerful message, Pastor Mike reminds us that our words carry weight and shape our lives. Drawing from Mark 11:23 and Romans 10:8, he teaches that what we confess with our mouth reflects the faith in our heart. When we speak God’s Word, we align ourselves with His promises and open the door to transformation.  Discover how to put your mouth where your faith is, and why your confession...

Two historical challenges to the belief that God always wills our healing are the book of Job and Paul's thorn in the flesh. One seems to indicate that God afflicts us to test our faith, and the other seems to show that God afflicts us to keep us humble. Let's take a closer look at Job's trials and Paul's thorn.

In this stirring message, Pastor Mike draws a powerful parallel between military battle readiness and spiritual preparedness. Just as the Navy trains relentlessly for unseen battles, believers must stay vigilant in a world full of deception. This sermon challenges us to go beyond surface-level faith—church attendance alone won’t cut it. We’re called to know the truth, abide in God’s Word, and walk...

We know God CAN heal. And we have spent some time in this series looking at the scriptural evidence for God's WILL to heal. But that is only one side of the coin. The other important factor, specifically mentioned in many of the healing miracles of Jesus, is the faith of the person needing healing. What does faith for healing look like, and how big a part does it play in the whole proces...

Did Jesus heal to prove He was God? Was His healing primarily for a sign? Or was it something more? We've already examined the Old Covenant case for God's will to heal. Let's take a look at how that will was expressed most powerfully and obviously: in the earthly ministry of Jesus Christ.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Everyone wants to be healthy. Sick people want to be healed. But whether we pray for healing, or HOW we pray for healing, often boils down to one question: Is it GOD's will that we be healed? Is the answer yes? No? Sometimes? Many, many people would quickly answer "sometimes", but is that answer based on something other than scripture? Let's take a look at what the Bible says about God's...

We are blessed to live in a time and place where we have access to so much good teaching on the Word of God. But we must recognize that there is more to spiritual maturity than simply loading up on good teaching. We must not only hear the word. We must receive it and do it. The difference between hearing and receiving is subtle, but important; only then can we be doers. Hosted on Acast. See a...

Can you remember the day you gave your life to Christ? Most of you can. Can you also remember the things that brought you to that point? Most of us, I think, did not respond to the Gospel the first time we heard it. The moment we surrendered our lives to Him was just the final link in a chain of events that brought us to that point. We plant seeds, water the plants, tend to the soil, and fina...

But just as there are many different callings, giftings, and ministries among believers, lost people are lost in many different ways.
