Whole Heart Fellowship Sermons

We take a look at Paul's persecutions and afflictions, and what the difference is between them. We see how afflictions can grow us and how persecutions are designed to break us.

The suffering Servant, our Lord Jesus Christ, was not contained in death or burial, but resurrected. The manifold eye witness accounts, along with His commission to preach the gospel to every creature, was the history-making catalyst to bring hope to a death-sentenced world.

In our ongoing series surrounding the relationship of Paul and Timothy, we take a deeper dive into Longsuffering and Patience (and the difference between them). We also see charity as a key characteristic in ministry.

Paul tells Timothy that he has fully known Paul and mentions specific areas. In this series we look at each of these areas where Timothy FULLY knows Paul. Today, we look at Paul's purpose and faith.

As Israel observed the Passover feast, Jesus was betrayed, abandoned, arrested and declared guilty of blasphemy. Despite all the adversity, Jesus remains strong in the Spirit and continues to walk toward the cross.

As we explore Paul and Timothy's relationship, we see that Paul addresses how/what he taught (doctrine) and his manner of living, as key components of an intimate ministry relationship.

Jesus warns His disciples of future tribulations and equips them to overcome through discernment and remaining watchful.

Once again, Jesus silences the religious rulers who are relentless on trying to catch Him in his words. Through the dialogue, we learn a great deal about God’s desire to see fruit for His Son’s inheritance.

We start a new series looking at Paul and Timothy's deep relationship. We see how their history and experiences created a partnership for longstanding ministry and dealing with challenges to the Christian life.

We see how the priests were prepared for the ministry and how once the Tabernacle work was completed, the glory of the Lord showed up. This is parallelled to the NT believer and the finished work of the cross.

 As Jesus enters Jerusalem and cleanses the temple, he demonstrates His righteous authority in word and deed. 

As Jesus and the disciples make their way to Jerusalem, the Lord continues to engage various people and show us that the ways of the Lord are different from the ways of man.

We look at the garments and their accessories, which were used in the service of the tabernacle. We look at the expectations of the wearer and how it echoes to our service as New Testament believers.

We look at the Ark of the Covenant and its covering, the Mercy Seat. We see how the Lord uses this to dwell with his people.

As Jesus continues His ministry around Galilee, He reveals to His disciples His future glory and the coming judgments.

We look at the significance of the altar of incense. We see how unique the altar is from the rest of the furniture of the Tabernacle. We also see how it pictures a pure prayer life before the Lord.

The Father reveals the identity of Jesus to the disciples – the anointed Messiah. It is during this pivotal time of ministry and teaching that they learn about Jesus’ death, burial and resurrection, along with their own cross to bear if they were to continue as His disciples.

We look at the pictures in the table of shewbread and its pointing to Christ and provision for ministry.

We see how the design, placement and function of the Golden Candlestick, empowers us for ministry.

We look at the construct, position and purpose of the brazen laver which points to our preparedness for ministry; we must minister with clean hands and feet.

We look at the construct and tools of the brasen altar and the different aspects of the fire of judgment of the Lord and the application of blood of the offering.

Jesus openly rebukes Israel’s religious rulers for their hypocrisy and prioritization of man’s traditions over God’s law. As his ministry temporarily shifts to the Gentiles, we see both a revelation of God’s heart for all nations and the foreshadowing of the church being composed of believing Jews and Gentiles.

We take a look at the final structural part of the tabernacle plans. The court is made by the hangings around the perimeter of the Tabernacle proper. We see the purpose and application of this to our lives.

In this message we review a bit of the structure from the last message and then focus on the differences between the curtain and the vail and the spiritual implications of the construct, including the pillars upon which they hang.

In a shortened message, we look at the structure of the Tabernacle and see how it reflects a strong intimacy within the trinity. We also see the picture of how man is empowered to be part of the body, fitly joined.
