PASTOR ALAN LATTA

With a desire to encourage our journey as disciples of Jesus Christ, Pastor Alan Latta illustrates from the story of Simon Barjonah that sometimes there may be failure on our part but the Lord never recants His call and command for us to follow Him.

Evangelism Jesus' style is not as hard as some people can make it. He said we are the light of the world that cannot be hidden. After a humorous look at what Jesus did not mean, the hearer learns of the joyous way we are to shine the light of God's love everywhere and to use words if necessary.

While the Holy Spirit freely gives gifts, there is protocol in which they are to operate. When we follow this, there will be love, edification and empowerment, as well enlargement for Christ's Church.

Proclaiming the Bible basis for desiring the Gifts of the Holy Spirit, Pastor Alan shares insights that can help keep one's heart open to God and all that He desires to do in and through His people.

When learning about the reality of the Holy Spirit, the question arises that asks, "What is He like?" In this sermon Pastor Alan declares 8 things that remind us of the Holy Spirit which includes a dove, wind, water, oil, fire, legal seals, eternal lifetime guarantees and comforters.

Drawing from the Scriptures and personal experience, Pastor Alan declares the truth about the nature and operation of the Holy Spirit, concluding with a challenge for all to begin seeking fulness of the Spirit daily.

The Holy Spirit is often equated with the experiences He can give and not be recognized for the person that Jesus Christ said He would be. With solid New Testament backing, Pastor Alan Latta expounds on this much overlooked truth and what the ministry of the Holy Spirit means to us in these perilous times.

Jesus Christ promised to send the Holy Spirit after His departure to Heaven. This promise was gloriously fulfilled 10 days after His ascension. In this sermon, several examples are shared from the Book of Acts proving that this same promise still holds true today.

While troubles may often double up on us, the blessing of God can more than double any needed reparation. He is able to do abundantly and exceedingly much more than we could ask, think or imagine. What is required on our part is the willingness to give God time and faith.

When facing disappointment we must not lose sight of the fact that we have all been predestined to be conformed to the image of Jesus. It is this fact that takes priority over our own personal comfort in the mind of Almighty God and helps us to take heart when we would be discouraged otherwise.

With communication technology providing us with so many new ways to hear bad news, we need to be encouraged with good news from God's Word. In this teaching, 5 keys are communicated that are essential for victory in perilous times.

The Armor of God is given to all believers for the purpose of standing against the schemings of the enemy of our souls. In this important teaching you will hear about 7 things we are to stand against and 2 things to stand for, which are vital to our walking in spiritual victory during these perious times.

In times like these, when everything is shaking, God's invisible and unshakable Kingdom is revealed through the lives of His people who know how to stand strong in shaky times.

Jesus Christ is still building His Church, made up of His people, who truly know Him and make Him known to their community and the world; giving local congregations global influence, making them glocal churches Disobeying the Great Commission should no longer be a problem for any believer in the 21st Century.

The struggles of living in the last days are likened in the Scriptures to the pains of a woman in labor, about to bring forth something that has never been before.

This exhortation points out some of the things to avoid becoming in the last days.

This message features Christ's predictions in MATTHEW 24, as His answers to three questions He was asked; which were about (1) when Jerusalem would be destroyed, (2) what was the sign of His coming and (3) the end of the age.

From one of Christ's own brothers, we are exhorted to fight for the faith as it was first delivered to the His followers. May the truth in this teaching enable you to do the same.
