Living Word Family Church Sermon Podcast

When someone makes a claim, a promise, or even a threat, our response -that is, how seriously we take those things- is determined by two things primarily: the nature of the statement itself, and our knowledge of the person who says it. This is why the more we understand the character of God, the easier it is to believe Him, and this is the essence of faith. To know Him is to believe Him! Host...

We have an unfortunate tendency to "believe" for things that are actually more of a "wish list". God can certainly speak things to us personally and we can believe Him to fulfill those things. But He has already promised so much in the Bible, and we would absolutely profit from simply identifying those promises and laying hold of them by faith! See a promise, and speak it, but don't limit it to ma...

There is a right way to pray; an effective way to pray. When we pray as we are instructed to in the word of God, those prayers are answered. But we are to do more than ask God for something when we pray. We are to make declarations in agreement with God's word.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Some people are easier to trust than others. Sometimes, the better you know someone, the easier it is to trust them; sometimes knowing them better makes you trust them less. God's character is such that the more we know Him, the more we trust Him. We can trust Him enough to know that if He says it, He will absolutely do it. And if He said it's done, it is done. All that remains is for us to believ...

As believers in the present-day ministry of the Holy Spirit, embracing all His gifts, sometimes we risk forgetting that the very grounds of our belief, our faith, and our worship is the written word of God. If we are not grounded in the Word, if His Word is not settled in our hearts, we cannot effectively minister to one another or fulfill the great commission. To be grounded in the Word is libera...

The Word of God is described in scripture itself in many different ways. It is compared to a seed, to bread, to a sword, and to water, for example. When we talk about the supreme power of the Word of God, we are certainly not talking about merely it's superiority as a work of literature! God's Word is the force by which all things came into existence, by which all things are sustained; and God's w...

Tonight Pastor Mike emphasizes the importance of understanding and practicing the basics of faith in our spiritual lives. We must remain established in the Lord and be unmoved by the evils of this world. To do this, we must allow the Word of God to dwell in us and flow from our mouths. Hosted on Acast.

Faith is alive in your heart and in your mouth. What we say means more than you can imagine.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Not everyone is called to be an occupational minister. But we are all ministers of the Gospel, and the Holy Spirit empowers us to do whatever we are called to do, even if it doesn't look like what some might call "ministry". The key to walking in joy and spiritual victory is to do everything with Jesus in mind.

The value of the life and service of the individual believer is measured differently than we might imagine. An obscure and oft-maligned verse of scripture demonstrates to us the importance of being where God has called us to be. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The early church grew from 120 to over 3,000 people in one day, and continued growing at a tremendous rate. They had to wrestle with how to handle that kind of growth, and answer some serious questions along the way. We can learn some things today from the decisions they made while being guided by the Holy Spirit.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We have been looking for weeks at how Jesus prepared His disciples for ministry. He trained them personally, supernaturally opened their eyes to understand the scriptures, and instructed them to wait for the baptism of the Holy Spirit. On Pentecost, they were filled with the Spirit and were absolutely empowered to be the witnesses He had called them to be. They had everything they needed... or did...

After Jesus rose from the dead, the disciples were still expecting Jesus to ascend to the throne of an earthly kingdom. Instead, Jesus prepared them for His departure and instructed them to wait for the baptism of the Holy Spirit. The change that took place in the lives and ministries of the disciples can hardly be overstated. After three years learning at the feet of the Master, they were, i...

As we move toward Pentecost Sunday, We need to return to the Gospel accounts of the very last days of Jesus' earthly ministry and His last conversations with His disciples. An encounter with the risen Christ was enough to save them, restore them, and encourage them. But they still needed something else before they were ready to be the world changers Jesus was calling them to be. So do we. Hosted o...

The ordinance of baptism is one of the most precious and recognized practices in all of Christianity. Join us as we look at the richness of this act of obedience to Christ, and as we celebrate with those being baptized this morning! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

When we come to Christ, it is easy to fall into the habit of identifying our personal goals, and seeking the Lord's blessing on them. What we are commanded to do, though is to seek God for the goals themselves. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
