Bible Text: Psalm 46:10, 1 Peter 5:7, Philippians 4:4-9 | Speaker: David Warren | Series: On The Edge
Healthy spirituality is rooted in our understanding and dealing with our emotional and mental health. Believers struggle to identify this battle and many times their spirituality and life in general seem to be "On The Edge." Today's message kicks off our new series of teachings where our pastors will be integrating biblical truth to our reality as Christians on this issue.
Every single Christian faces three enemies in his/her lifetime that pushes them to lose their religion, the world, the devil and the flesh. What does the Bible say about facing these giants through Christ's power and the Holy Spirit?
Jesus is not only interested in giving us a new heart, He is also interested in giving us a purpose. Every believer has a part in God's kingdom, and when we embrace our identity as salt and light we are connecting with people's spiritual and material needs, bringing purpose and meaning to our Christian faith. Connect with your purpose and you won't lose your faith.
Questions and doubts about God, church and faith in general are part of our walk as believers. The danger is to think that giving up is the best solution. One of the reasons why people quit believing has to do with the idea that we are like a tree, the stronger and deeper the roots, the more we are able to keep on believing. Today's message encourages us to keep on believing by growing stronger roots.
In today's message, Pastor David continues teaching on the life of Samson - losing your religion is the easy way out.
Why do people walk away from church? There are many answers to this question. This is a real issue that Christianity in America is facing. The deeper problem is when people have lost their faith at all. Today's message opens a new series of teachings that deals with this reality. Pastor David begins this series teaching on the life of Samson, one of the Old Testament Judges.
Like with many other good things in life, prayer requires hard work and discipline. For many prayer can be something pointless, for others it is delightful. How do we enjoy prayer? Does it work? How can I maintain healthy rhythms when it comes to prayer? In today's message, the pastors encourages us to see prayer as a powerful gift that can transform and help us to grow as followers of Jesus.
It is very easy to think that doing the right thing is the same as loving God. When we focus on the external, our lives and faith can look great, but we might be missing the main thing. Today's message is a challenge to all of us to rethink what it means to love God.
In our culture we have the tendency to cheapen and worship sex. What does the Bible say about it? Sex is a special gift created by God for marriage! Husband and wife are given this gift for intimacy and enjoyment. Today's message explores what the Bible has to say about sex.
