How Do You See God - Jennifer Merrill by Forward Church Sermons

On the Day of Atonement, God gave Israel a vivid picture of sin being judged, transferred, and carried away through the two goats. In Jesus, that shadow becomes reality: He bore our sins, removed them from us, and accomplished once for all what the old covenant could only picture year after year.

Joshua didn’t hear a different promise than the rest of Israel; he simply believed what God had already said and interpreted the giants through that promise. Because he knew God was with them, he could look at an intimidating enemy and say with confidence, “They are bread for us.” He mixed faith with the promise, and that faith changed how he saw the problem in front of him.

What you focus on shapes what you see, and when you continually complain about what’s wrong, you can become blind to God’s provision and even begin to loathe the manna at your feet. Instead of letting the snakes of life consume your attention, mix God’s promises with faith, keep your eyes on Jesus, sow gratitude, and let love—not spiritual elitism—be the true measure of your maturity.

Even though Jesus taught obedience from the heart, he knew that no one could obey to the point of perfection. Ultimately Jesus taught that salvation is by faith and not Law keeping. This does not allow for permissiveness, but it places the credit for salvation fully on Jesus.

What if the biggest thing standing between you and God's purpose isn't a lack of faith, but a life filled with distractions? Discover how renewing your mind with God's wisdom prepares you to recognize the divine opportunities He places in front of you every day—and to respond with confidence instead of hesitation.

You're Not as Stuck as You Think - Charlie Newell by Forward Church Sermons

You are an integral part of the body of Christ and your story matter. Today we'll hear Chris Cloud of Home Church and Abel Ministries share his testimony.

Will God Throw Me Away? - Clint Byars by Forward Church Sermons

America's founding ideals were deeply influenced by the biblical understanding that our rights come from our Creator and that true liberty begins with a people who are governed from within rather than controlled from without. This message explores how the freedom Christ purchased for us—freedom from the curse of the law and righteousness by faith—helped shape the language of liberty found in our n...

For Freedom's Sake - Mike Crane by Forward Church Sermons

Men need a plan, something to put their hand to that’s built on the foundation of Christ…what’s yours? You can ask God and he will help you. Let’s talk about how to develop that plan in this year’s Father’s Day message.

Make everyone feel like they’re your favorite The body of Christ is a family. We all have a unique expression of the Holy Spirit within us that is needed in the body of Christ and in the world. When we love one another, it nurtures our unique calling. And the world is starving for what we have.

Jesus was obedient to the death of the cross, this is the central truth of our faith. Your response is to make sure your thoughts are in agreement with what he accomplished in his obedience, casting down every other thought that contradicts what Christ experienced for you. This message walks you through Isaiah 53 as an example of his to bring your thoughts captive.

Enjoy a great message from the Camps this final Sunday in Mental Health Awareness Month.

This message explores the battle for the mind through the lens of scripture, neuroscience, and the finished work of Christ, revealing how beliefs formed in the heart shape our thoughts, emotions, and perception of reality. Learn how to bring every thought captive to the obedience of Christ and cast down every lie that contradicts what Jesus accomplished through His death and resurrection.

Join with us today as we hear from our special guest, Meredith Lord.

A mother’s peace is not found in her children’s outcomes, but in being anchored in Christ as her source, helper, and identity. When she becomes healthy in spirit, soul, and body and keeps God first, she creates a stable, life-giving atmosphere where her children can thrive without carrying the weight of her purpose.

Mental health Month - Susan Coryell by Forward Church Sermons

In this message, we expose the difference between emotional hype that acts like a mystical sugar pill and mature faith in the truth of the gospel that anchors us in what God has already completed in Christ. Paul’s call to walk by faith and not by sight invites us to stop leaning on external stimulation and instead live from the settled, eternal reality that is already ours.

When the Word is truly received, the works will naturally follow as a result of how you see the Word.

When we place our faith and hope in Christ, it allows Him to do a work in us, to remove our dead root of sinful nature and replace it with His life. It’s as if we were buried with Him, and then raised when He was raised to new and eternal life. From then on, in Him we truly are alive.

Jesus entered the darkness of Psalm 22—fully bearing our separation—so that through His once-for-all sacrifice as our High Priest, He secured eternal redemption and established a new covenant where we are forever made righteous in Him. Now, as new creations, we don’t strive to become—we live from what He finished, resting in His work while His resurrection life flows through every part of us.

Family Sunday - March 29, 2026 by Forward Church Sermons

God is not the source of trials or temptation—He is the one who gives wisdom, strength, and a way through what we face in a broken world. When we see Him clearly, prayer becomes confident, faith becomes steady, and our hearts rest in His goodness.
