Living Word Family Church Sermon Podcast

When supernatural healing happens, is it because of God's Power and Mercy? Or is it because of our faith? If it's all God, do you worry that you don't deserve it; that God is not pleased with you? If it's our faith, do you lack faith for similar reasons? The Bible tells us we cannot please God without faith. But we often struggle with our faith because we have a hard time believing...

We all need hope, and we can all have hope at ALL times. As we go through different seasons of our lives, we can find sources of true, biblical hope all around us. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

One of the most common struggles for believers is the concern that our prayers will not be heard or answered because of our sin. A kind of warped humility tells us we don't deserve what we are praying for, and if we are seeking healing, we often don't expect to receive it. Jesus addresses this issue directly and if we listen to Him, we will find our faith strengthened, and the power of s...

"The Prosperous Life: Living in the Presence of the Lord" is not just a concept; it's a way of life that promises fullness and glory beyond measure. We are not destined to subsist on life's "leftovers," the scraps of existence that leave us feeling unfulfilled. Instead, we are called to seek the presence of God with diligence and devotion. When we actively seek God's presence, we embark on a journ...

We read in the scriptures about a variety of different ways God ministers healing to the sick. Anointing oil, laying on of hands, applying mud, and so on. What is the reason for this? Is one way better than another? If we are convinced that supernatural healing is a legitimate expectation for the believers of today, what exactly is our part, and how do we apply the knowledge of these dif...

It is said that "The Will" is one of the most potent forces of the universe. The power of free will is a gift of God. We must learn to control our will and emotions. We must line our will up with the will of the Father which is found in His Word. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect w...

Join us as we continue to look at what the Bible really says about divine healing. Most believers affirm that it CAN happen, but is it rare? Is it normal? Is it something we should expect when we pray? The word of God has answers, and those answers may surprise you and they may encourage you!  Hosted on Acast.

It's so easy to be worried, troubled, and distracted by everything going on in the world. It's so easy to allow these things to weigh you down. Our Heavenly Father doesn't want us stressed out and overcome with worry. He wants us to have the peace that passes all understanding. The peace that comes from trusting in Him. "God is our refuge and strength [mighty and impenetrable], A very present and...

What does the Bible really say about sickness, disease, and healing? Charlatans posing as "faith healers" have muddied the waters and distracted many from taking a serious look at what scripture actually has to say on the matter. All believers know God can heal. All believers know Jesus healed. But what should we expect to see today, and why? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for mo...

We live in a hectic, fast-paced world. Some days, and even weeks, can fly by with us asking ourselves "What did I actually accomplish?" If we're not careful, life will pass us by with little to show for it but busyness. God calls us to seek first His kingdom, above all else. He assures us that if we put Him first in our lives, He'll take care of the rest. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for...

Certain seasons of life, and certain events in life, call for celebration and recognition. Many of these moments should also be memorialized in some fashion because remembering where we've been can encourage and equip us to deal with where we are going. God instructed His people to build memorials, to remember the great things He had done for them. What can we do to memorialize His work in ou...

3 John 2 "Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers." The Apostle John realized that the prosperity of our whole lives, including the health of our bodies, hinges on the condition of our souls. If prosperity and health were not God's will for, why would God say so much about it in the scriptures? Also, if we don't know God's Word... will perish...

We are commanded to go into all the world and preach the Gospel. But we are also commanded to live our lives in such a way that the love and power of God are evident. People respond, sometimes, to something beyond our words, even if we are bold. What is it about our lives that speaks of the presence of God? Hosted on Acast.

In Scripture, Peter emphasized the importance of being reminded of the truths we already know. This message serves to put us in remembrance of what faith is and how it is walked out in our everyday lives. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We never know how much time we have in this life. We never know how much time we have with friends and loved ones. Let us walk in love towards one another. "Such hope [in God’s promises] never disappoints us, because God’s love has been abundantly poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us."  - Romans 5:5 AMP Hosted on Acast.

It is true that we are saved by grace through faith, and not by works. But the word of God clearly tells us that we are saved FOR good works. Where do we start? The answer to that question is the basis of all ministry! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

"Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers."  - 3 John 2 God desires to prosper us that we may have more than enough for the work on the Kingdom. We must keep our hearts and minds stayed on Jesus and walk according to His will for our lives. It is up to us to choose to follow after Him and prosper in spiritual and natural ways. Hosted on A...

"You can't take it with you". We've all heard that, and many of us have also heard that you can send it on ahead. But if we are talking about money, what good is money going to do us in Heaven? What DO we get to take with us? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

God's Word is powerful. We must trust in the word of God and speak it over our lives and our circumstances. We will rise or fall based on the level of our confession and how we speak over our lives. "For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have wh...

We are saved by grace through faith in the finished work of Christ. We can do no works that make us more acceptable than God, we can do nothing to add to the work Jesus finished on the cross. That is good news! But the word of God also offers us some sobering warnings about standing before God to give an account for our deeds in the flesh. We would do well to heed them, so join us as we look...

No matter what your day holds, ups and downs, ins and outs... we need to make praise and worship a key part of our daily habits. Worship should fill our days. Our attention must be on God and not solely on our circumstances.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
