The Living Church Boise Sermons

Every Christmas people gather together to sing carols and hear the Christmas message, but Christ will not be of use to us if we fail to recognize WHY He had to come into the world. The world commercializes Christmas because they do not care WHY Jesus came into the world, and it is possible for Christians to turn this season into a comical show of meaninglessness if we also fail to recognize WHY Je...

Hopelessness doesn't have to be our default setting even while we live and go through hard times. We worship The God of all hope who is always on the move, and is working in ways beyond our comprehension. This hope from God needs to be received with gratitude and should be acted on in faith. Are you ready to replace the hopelessness and embrace the hope that comes from God?

Soon America will be celebrating one of its favourite days with food, football and family.

Do you know that in every person there is a longing, a hunger, for the divine? This desire is recognized in all worldviews and cultures, but has its satisfaction only in the cross of Jesus, our Saviour. This desire and hunger for God is what revival is, and like the world, it is very possible for the church to try and find its satisfaction in its made up rituals and religion. In this series in wor...

What is it that compels us to worship? Stay tuned for this message that ties the past messages on worship and elevates the compelling force that moves you and me to worship.

Is worship only for musicians? Do we absolutely need song writers to tell us what to sing for our worship to be "worshipful?" Do you know that you write songs everyday of your life in worship? They might not be songs that rhyme or have a tune to it, but we are all worshippers. Could it be possible that there are some songs in our personal worship library that need to be removed, rewritten or refoc...

In this series of Worship we have torn down the ideas of worship that have kept us in the motions of worship devoid of the motivation behind our worship. This week we continue to let God's Word shine a light on our worship, and show us the blessings that are ours in the battlefield of worship.

We all know that prayer is a privilege and also a command from our Lord, but do you know that there are 3 absolute essentials for life, that you can only get from prayer? This week we continue learning from king Jehoshaphat who is threatened with a battle, and we see the process God walks him through to turn his battles into blessings, and this week our focus is, Prayer on the battlefield! Are you...

Worship is a weapon that the enemy tries to get you to put down and give up on. Worship is warfare and everytime you worship, you are tearing down idols. No wonder the enemy hates it when we worship in Spirit and Truth! In this message I want to show you how we use this weapon of worship in the battlefield of our lives to turn our battles into blessings. Are you ready to receive blessings in your...

Everyone worships, but the question is who or what do you worship? And following very closely is a follow up question, "How do you worship?" There are different styles and genres or worship. People from different cultures worship differently. But when the method becomes more important than the object of our worship, we've lost the plot. In this series "Heart of worship," we are looking at what God...

Blindsided and fallen! Failure cannot be where you build the rest of your story, what you need is a comeback! If you can relate, this message is for you.

A recent study shows that 3 out of 5 Americans fight burnout. Is it possible that this number is true even for believers? Now while it is not wrong to go through seasons of burnout or stress we cannot let the enemy of our souls steal our joy, our passion, our calling our identity! Praise God that His Word has tools to help us identify burnout and then the audacity to pray, "LORD BLESS MY BURNOUT!"...

We can have the right community and great preaching, but if we do not individually respond to the Good News of Jesus with genuine conviction, we only have a shallow religion. In this message we look at the way a person comes to believe and makes a heartfelt confession that leads to a personal relationship with Jesus. Get ready to get confident in your faith, and get tools to keep growing in your p...

There are many claims of dead celebrities faking their death and are still alive. Jesus' death was not so! He was witnessed by more than 500 people, in groups and individually. The real question is, does He still make appearances? Speculation aside, I want to take you to God's Word and show you how the risen Jesus is still seen in our dead world.
