Our special guest, Pastor Edwin Bernardino of Our Christ is Wonderful church, leads us through the grandeur of Psalm 118, a vibrant reminder of the beauty, blessing, and boldness of God which is transmitted to His followers who stand firmly on their faith in Him and proudly declare: "The LORD is my strength and my song, and He has become my salvation!"(Psalm 118:14).   SCRIPTURE TEXT: Psalm 1...

Guest speaker Pastor Ricky Razz brings a dynamic message on Joshua  chapter six and "taking the territory" of God's promises by faithful  obedience, just as Joshua and the children of Israel did when they  encountered the famed walled city of Jericho.   Scripture Texts: Joshua 6   GUEST PREACHER: PASTOR RICKY RAZZ   DATE: MAY 19, 2019   SERVICE TIME: 8:30 am &amp...

We conclude our 12-part study on the Fruit of the Holy Spirit in Galatians chapter five with a final focus on the spiritual fruit of SELF-CONTROL, or to use an old-fashioned term: temperance.  This spiritual fruit consists of controlling one's passions, tempers, and desires, effectively "taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ" (2 Corinthians 10:5) as the Lord by His Spirit br...

We continue in our series on the Fruit of the Holy Spirit by examining the peace of God which surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7).  Jesus is the Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9:6) and He grants His peace to His followers (John 14:27 ).  In this study we see that God's peace is not only the absence of conflict but also the essence of wholeness that comes from dwelling in righteousness...

Continuing in our in-depth study of the Fruit of the Holy Spirit in Galatians chapter five, we focus on GENTLENESS, a spiritual fruit that demonstrates the qualities of Christ Jesus "who, though He was...God, did not consider equality with God to be something grasped but instead emptied Himself [of His divine privileges] and took upon Himself the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of hu...

In this message, we return to our ongoing and in-depth study of the Fruit of the Holy Spirit in Galatians chapter five with a focus on FAITHFULNESS, a spiritual fruit that flourishes from the abiding virtue of faith (as described in 1 Corinthians 13:13 ), what Hebrews 1:1 calls "the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things unseen."   Scripture Texts: Galatians 5:22 ; Hebr...

Jesus is Risen!  Our Easter Sunday celebration of the resurrection of Jesus the Christ, "firstfruits" from the grave (1 Cor. 15:20) and "firstborn" of Heaven (Rom. 8:29), also culminates this teaching series on the symbolic significance of the Fig Tree in the stories and signs of Jesus' ministry regarding "Last Days & Firstfruits." - Scripture Texts: Luke 21:29-33 Sunday April 21, 2019 Se...

We begin Holy Week and our sermon series leading up to Good Friday & Easter Sunday by examining the role of the Fig Tree in Scripture as a symbol for both judgment & fruitfulness. The fig tree figures prominently not only in the Old Testament but also in Jesus' stories & signs during His earthly ministry, including notably during His final days leading up to His sacrifice on the Cross...

We turn our attention to the goodness of God in this next segment of our series on the Fruit of the Holy Spirit.  As seen in Luke 3:1-20, John the Baptist, who "prepared the way" for the ministry of Jesus (Luke 3:4), called people to repent and allow God to produce His goodness in their lives in practical works of charity, integrity, and commitment to the cause of Christ no matter the cost.&n...

Guest preacher and noted Christian Leadership consultant Pastor Jack C. Witt brings a message on how believers in Christ must assess whether we are calling on God to enable our perceived mission of the local church rather than asking for the enabling of the Holy Spirit to fulfill the Father’s grand mission in the world.  Are we seeking the security of gathering over the risks of going?  ...

Continuing in our series on the Fruit of the Spirit in Galatians 5, we examine the fruit of JOY as the strength of God perfecting us within, enabling us to sustain in the living sacrifice of ourselves (Rom 12:1; cf. Heb 12:2) and sanctifying our spirits for ongoing fruitfulness (James 1:2).  This is a message full of the extraordinary joy found and fulfilled only in the Presence of the Lord &...

In our series on the fruit of the Spirit in Galatians 5, we examine the first fruit listed, LOVE , as the "irreducible element" of all the holy fruit that follow, a central key to life in the Kingdom of God (Matthew 22:37-40), the guide for all our behavior toward others (John 13:34), and indeed the very definition of God's fundamental nature (1 John 4:8). Therefore, "Beloved, let us love one anot...

Continuing in our extended series on living fruitfully in the Holy Spirit, Pastor Court walks us through Mark chapter four in which Jesus tells "Three Parables of Faith, Growth, & Fruitfulness" that are familiar to many of us yet remain freshly full of ripe wisdom.  In this teaching, we examine how the Parable of the Sower (vv. 8, 20) promises multiplication of the faithful, the Parable o...

Pastor Court continues our new series on living fruitfully in the Holy Spirit by examining Jesus' Parable of Two Trees, one that gives forth good fruit and one that bears bad fruit.  As we examine these words of Jesus, we find guidance for how to walk, talk, and live in the Holy Spirit--and what kind of spiritual fruit we should look for in ourselves as well as in those we follow. -Scripture...

The Lord has declared 2019 to be a Year of  Fruitfulness for Praise Christian Fellowship Los Angeles!  We begin the  year examining the words of promise from Jesus to His followers in John  chapter 15: Christ is the vine & we are the branches.  If we abide  in Him & He in us, we will bear much fruit, bring glory to Father  God, & prove ourselves to be...

Esteemed Christian leader and Pastor Joe Volpi brings a message from the Psalms inviting us to found our lives more on the Word of God than the subjectivity of our own feelings, while examining the crossroads we often face between popular psychology and the Scriptures.  -SERMON TEXT: Psalm 103:1-14  Service Date January 20, 2019 Watch us Live@ www.mypcf.org/watch-live
