#1 in A Grateful Heart series.

The beliefs of our heart shape our lives. What we believe at a heart level is what filters every thought and choice. If our heart is overcharged with guilt and condemnation, we will make decisions in alignment with the condemnation. But if our hearts are confident toward God, we are promised that we will see the fruit of God’s kingdom in our lives. This may sound complicated but it’s actually a si...

You think with your mind and your heart. But your heart is a deeper aspect of your being. Your heart is where you believe what you believe. Jesus said all things are possible when we doubt not in our hearts. Today we’ll discuss how to eliminate doubt so our beliefs and our thoughts are persuaded of God’s truth.

What you think in your mind is important, but what you believe in your heart is more important. The deep beliefs of your heart will override your more shallow thoughts. Today we’ll discuss how to align your heart with the Word of God and bring your thoughts and beliefs into harmony so there are no more contradictions in your life and you can experience the transformative fruit of God’s Word from t...

Cut To The Heart: The Pathway to Repentance - Courtney Olson by Forward Church Sermons

God is more interested in private integrity than public piety. He’s more interested in who you are in the secret place than in the public square. Today we discuss storing up treasures in Heaven by walking in love when no one sees it.

Special Guest Brian Essary by Forward Church Sermons

As we think in our hearts, so are we. Do you know how to think with your heart? Do you still think your heart is wicked, evil, and deceitful? We have good news for you today. God put a new heart in you that knows how to hear and obey God. You must renew your mind so your heart awakens unto righteousness and lives from the power of God’s spirit within. Today’s message may challenge you but it will...

Join us this week as Bethany Camp brings the 5th message in Thought Life.

Your brain might betray you, but the Word of God never will. Wouldn’t it be nice if your thoughts were always in alignment with the Word of God? You’d always know God’s perspective on any matter. You can experience this, but it takes some effort. Today we’ll discuss how to bring your thoughts captive and align them with what Christ accomplished through His obedience and how to allay that to your l...

You need to change, but you can’t change yourself. God will not automatically change you just because you pray. Only an intimate living relationship with the Word of God and the Spirit of God will open your heart to allow the fruit of the Spirit’s transforming power to work in your life. It’s time to put away the former way of life and live in the power of Christ in you. Today we will participate...

Your destiny is to be shaped and molded by the Spirit of God to be just like Jesus. He accomplished this by living in you. His living Word will manifest in you to activate your new nature and produce His spiritual nature and fruits in and through you. Your role is to align with His will in your thoughts and rest in your completed nature in Christ as the Spirit does the work. We pray today’s worshi...

Welcome to our "Thought Life" Series #1: When God Holds Your Heart. There are hundreds of passages in the Bible about our thought life. God gives detailed instructions on how and what to think about almost every subject. The goal of this instruction is to repent, change the way we think, and think as God thinks in every area. We often nurture harmful and destructive thought patterns in our minds a...

The Saving Savior In You - Tori Ivey by Forward Church Sermons

Jesus promised us the Holy Spirit. When he described life with the Holy Spirit, he described a relationship. He described a relationship where his Spirit would speak with us, guide us, help us, and strengthen us. Today we’ll discuss how to hear God better from a Biblical perspective. It’s easier than you think.

"The gifts of the spirit" is a loaded phrase. Think of the "gifts" as empowerments or manifestations of the spirit. The "gifts," or, to use a better word, graces of the spirit, are not individual abilities. They are expressions of manifestations of God through people. They are not to be isolated as if one person can do one thing and another person can do another thing. All the graces of the spirit...

What is prophecy? Do we have prophets today? While no one but the Holy Spirit can teach people to prophesy, because it’s a manifestation of His presence, we can make sure we have the proper ingredients for New Covenant prophecy. All prophecy should build up and comfort, as well as testify of Jesus. Join us today for more on this topic.

An American Birthday - Mike Crane by Forward Church Sermons

We pray today’s message gives you hope and empowers you to live above the t...

The Eternal Now - Lyle Camp by Forward Church Sermons

God will let you have what you want whether it be good or evil. But if you want to change, he will help you. His spirit lives in you, the very power that created all things can help you remake your desires if you let him. The Gospel is the power that will help you experience radical growth in every area of life. Thanks for joining us today, we hope today’s message is informative and encouraging.

When we experience the new birth, God graciously places His Spirit within us. He unites Himself to us, just as in a sacred marriage. From then on the Spirit of God dwells within us, empowering us to be faithful witnesses for His Kingdom. In today's discussion, we will explore the profound concept of God's indwelling Spirit and reflect on the pivotal role of grace in our daily journey of faith.

Pentecost and Memorial Day fall on the same weekend this year. We remember the fallen and we celebrate the liberty we have in Christ. God has made us His new home in the earth. today we discuss natural and spiritual freedom in light of God’s presence dwelling in us.
