The Living Church Boise Sermons

There are many words written about “Words." The most popular one I have come across is “People will not remember what you said, but how your words made them feel.” In a world that evaluates your words based on feelings, it is easy to turn down the truth in our words just to make others feel good. However, this is not what the bible encourages us to do. The bible tells us that there is power in our...

Spiritual warfare begins with us realizing that we are more than the flesh and bones we care for and protect, there is an enemy of our souls who uses the physical to lead you away from the Life of The Spirit in Christ Jesus, this can manifest in many ways, and that's why we are challenged to be aware of the schemes of the devil. In this message you will be challenged with the reality of this war,...

Everywhere we go and in everything we do we leave a glimpse of who we are; people get a look into your life, in how you carry yourself and how you work through life. This eventually becomes the legacy we leave behind when we are gone. The book of Proverbs nudges us towards Godly wisdom that teaches us to live and work from Godly Wisdom that will leave a lasting legacy of works that is fueled by fa...

Every single person will at some point think about their death, and along with this thought, we have to think about the legacy we leave behind. Legacy cannot be changed once you are gone, and because of this, we have to pay attention to the legacy we are creating while we are still here. Wise people will think about their legacy! Proverbs 10 tells us the tale of two sons who leave two very differe...

Everyday we make decisions that change and alter our life. Studies tell us that a person can make up to 35,000 decisions a day! Although that is a staggering number, there is one decision that is crucial and will set the path for all the other choices we make. In this chapter of Proverbs we see two celebrations that have been prepared - one by Wisdom and the other by Folly, each of them have their...

The dictionary defines Wisdom as insight and knowledge that comes from experience and understanding, but the bible elevates Wisdom to a much higher state of knowing. In fact the bible says that it was through Wisdom the earth was formed. So then, we as creation have to know and live by this Wisdom for life to make sense. Do you have this Wisdom? As we conclude our study in Proverbs 8 we finally ge...

The world is buzzing with this idea of Manifestation, but where does this word come from? With everything that is holy and God given, there is a worldly imitation sure to follow. In Proverbs 8, there is a massive claim that a person who loves Jesus will manifest the wisdom of God in their lives and will live a naturally supernatural life. This manifestation shows not my mind control and positive t...

What makes a person wise? How does a person become wise? Would you say you have wisdom? With so many voices offering their interpretation of wise counsel and wisdom, we need to know how to define true wisdom, and examine if we truly possess this wisdom that is true. But first we need to ask ourselves, “Why do I need Wisdom?” We are going to be in Proverbs 8, asking this question, and the answer is...

Proverbs 7 explores the distinction between our needs and wants and challenges us to navigate through life's needs and wants with the wisdom from His Word. Today we will look at six biblical principles that will help us combat the wants that often distort our genuine needs. You will learn about the importance of dwelling in God's Word, avoiding destructive paths, abstaining from harmful influences...

Communion in Christianity has drastically changed over the years from what it was at the start. Jesus in the last supper with His disciples, made changes to the Passover celebration that the Church continues to follow even till today. When we look into the first Passover ordained by God in the Old Testament, we see the reason humanity needs to be saved, and in the last supper we see how Jesus save...

God did not create us to fail, His plans for you is beautiful, and His will for your life is to reflect His glory, which is our greatest good. Now along with His blessings, God challenges us to steward our success well, and Proverbs 6 gives us guidelines on doing just that. Are you ready to say “NO” to foolish commitments, say “YES” to excellence, and to watch out for scammers who are looking for...

He is RISEN! Every year we visit the passage that speaks of the empty tomb and we rejoice in our God who overcame sin and death, Halleluiah! But, what good does it do for us to sing and shout, “He is risen!” if we do not experience the transformation that Jesus bought for us on that cross? What good is it for you and me, if we can only profess with our mouths, “He is risen” but do not experience t...

Many claim to find contradictions in the bible, most of those so called contradictions are paradoxes that need to be examined. Jesus' life was a life of paradox. A paradox is a seemingly absurd statement that seems to contradict itself, but in closer examination it begins to make perfect sense. Jesus was and is a King, yet He is humble, meek, and mild. He is loving, yet the zeal for His Father's h...

Proverbs 5 is coming in hot, challenging you to guard your heart from the old familiar temptation to indulge in physical intimacy before it is time, and with people that you are never meant to be in relationship with. But this is not limited to just those who are looking for a relationship or for those who are in a relationship, but it is a warning to all on the attraction of sin and the destructi...

Have you heard this before, “Guard your heart!” Or maybe you've said this to someone, “Guard your heart!” But what does it mean to "Guard your heart?" Is it just be careful, make wise decisions or stay away from relationships? The Bible elevates the need to guard your heart, because it says, that from it flows the direction of your life. With so much riding on this one statement, I think we need t...

The Bible speaks of two roads, or two paths that people find themselves on. One road leads to destruction and the other, to life. How do we know which road we are on? The book of Proverbs helps us with this dilemma and gives us practical steps to exercise caution and discipline so that we stay on the road that leads to life. It challenges us to more than saying a prayer or having time for bible re...

Have you come across passages in Holy Scripture that talks of a sin that will not be forgiven? I have had many people come up to me on various occasions, asking me this very question, “Have I committed the unpardonable sin? And if I have, what can I do?” This uncertainty and doubt can put immense stress on your spiritual growth and allow the enemy a foothold in your life. This is why today we are...

Who do you look to for directions in this life? While there are many wise people with experience in this life, we all have a deep longing and desire for more than what this life offers. Who can we go to for the longing of our hearts that desire a glimpse into perfect peace and eternity? The Bible says that there is a way of wisdom that can point us in the direction of eternal blessing. This is not...

The book of Proverbs is filled with Godly wisdom, but does the wisdom from God's Word translate into the world we are living in, or is it just for “Church people”? In this chapter in Proverbs, we see the direction God's Word points us in to be successful! Yes, success in this world and in the one to come. Get your bibles open and get ready to see the map God draws for us for the direction for succ...

Every new year, people make new resolutions to change their lifestyle and to get more disciplined. What about your spiritual life? When was the last time you decided to break through the glass celling and draw closer to Jesus? Proverbs chapter 2 challenges us to take a closer and deeper look at our commitment and intimacy with Jesus and encourages us to treasure Him as precious gold. If you are re...

If you want to live for God, there are always areas in our lives that need to be confronted and brought back under the grace and forgiveness of Jesus. The book of Proverbs tells us that there are those who scorn and ignore repentance and daily confession of sins and instead, find themselves to be wise in their own eyes. Sadly, this kind of reasoning is not only found in the world but also in the c...

The book of Proverbs puts our pride, self-righteousness and wisdom in check and humbles us. It calls us to go back to the basics that are constantly under attack from the enemy, and it questions our influences, our affections and our actions that are birthed from it. Have you found yourself in a downward spiral towards pride, unhealthy patterns and death? Keep it right here, breakthrough is coming...

As we start this year, it's important to identify the reality that we are capable of experience a season of failure in small and big ways. Everyone fails, but some of our failures can be public, colossal and it can seem like there is NO coming back from it. The passage we'll be looking at to start this new year with, has Jesus helping us focus on the principles of Recovering From Failure. This is...

This is the last day in 2023! How great that God has brought us through this year and is gearing you up for a new year and a new season. As we embark on this new journey into a new year we cannot do it on our own and in our flesh, we have to move forward in the Spirit of God, by living in the Power of God, for the Glory of God. This message is going to challenge you to not live in the mode of the...
