Everything we do as believers should bring glory to the Father. Jesus demonstrated this in His walk. Jesus took no glory for Himself but gave all the glory to the Father. There are things the Bible tells us that we as Christians should do that will bring glory to the Father. Jesus says in John 15 the Father is glorified when we bear "much fruit".

Jesus showed us how we should do the Father's will and not our will. Luke 22:39-46
It is vital for us as Christians to fellowship with the Holy Spirit. This week we take a look at 2 Corinthians 13:4 and Philippians 2:1-2. We also take a look at Acts 9 and the conversion of Paul the Apostle. Elder Wigfall teaches how Ananias' response shows how he had been fellowshipping with the Lord and how he was familiar with the voice of the Lord. Often we can find ourselves answering more like Saul who did not know the Lord when our response should be like Ananias'.
As Christians we are commanded to be filled with the Holy Spirit but in order to be filled it starts with a relationship with Jesus Christ. As we are filled we have to remain filled. We remain filled by praying, studying and fellowshipping with the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is calling for us to spend time with him continuously. The word continuously means without gaps. We as believers need to be consistent in our walk. Note the message continues after the song that is played. We encourage to ...
As Christians we must learn to be intimate with the Holy Spirit. Our relationship is vital in our walk as Christians. The Holy Spirit is our Helper who Jesus sent to be with all believers and we must be filled with Him.
According to Ephesians 5 we are to be filled with the Holy Spirit. If we as Christians are filled with the Holy Spirit then there are certain things we will not find ourselves doing. Many churches do not acknowledge the role of the Holy Spirit in our lives but it is vital for us as believers to be filled. Being filled is an ongoing process and is in fact a commandment. Being filled with the Holy Spirit is not about the gifts but it is important as believers to bear fruit. Unlike what some teach ...
As Christians we have to know which Kingdom we are in. We are to please Jesus and be on the same team. If we as Christians compete with each other or practice the works of the flesh then we are not being representatives of the Kingdom of God.
This message is not to offend anyone but to educate believers on the dangers of pharmaceutical drugs that are being pushed upon people. Often times when we see witchcraft in the New Testament we think of an old lady with a black hat and a broom but that is not what the Bible is referencing. Pharmaceutical drugs are a big business that draws in large revenue to the government and the medical industry. In 1960 the money brought in for medicines in the United States was 2.7 billion dollars. In 1970...
This week we break down the definitions of the works of the flesh listed in Galatians 5 from the original Greek. As we take a look at the meanings of the words we find that we as Christians may in fact be practicing some of these works in our personal lives and in our churches. Paul warns us that those who practice such things will not inherit the Kingdom of God. It is the hope that those who hear this message will grow in their relationship with Christ. We cannot overcome the works of the flesh...
Brother Phil speaks on how we need to go back to our first love who is Jesus.
This week we continue our study on the works of the flesh. We discuss Greek definitions for some of the works mentioned in Romans 1. We warn how some of these sins can and are being committed by those in the church and we also discuss how the Apostle Paul warns us how we are in perilous times. We must stay connected to Jesus Christ in these last days.
Often Christians try and motivate themselves in their walk with the Lord to overcome our flesh as if they are gearing up for a workout. However, no matter how much a person tries to motivate themselves they will not be able to overcome the power of the flesh. God has given us His Holy Spirit and that is how we are able to over the inner struggles of the flesh. Romans 8 and Galatians 5 teach us how we are to overcome the flesh. We as Christians have to understand that as long as we are in our hum...
Last week we talked about pet sins and how we tend to categorize sins. This week we take a look at Joshua chapter 7 where Achan committed what he thought was a secret sin. Many Christians have secret sins and unlike pet sins secret sins include every sin mentioned in the Bible that we try and keep covered up. As Christians we should know that there is no such thing as a secret sin because God knows all. In this lesson Elder Wigfall teaches how when we sin it really shows a lack of faith in God h...
As Christians we learn to categorize sins and there are some sins we learn to hold onto instead of looking for deliverance from God. Pet sins are like pets; they can start out small then grow bigger to the point they can hurt us and others around us. Pet sins are different for each person. Yes, we will not be perfect but we should not be habitually bound in sins. Pet sins keep Christians in bondage but Jesus has come to set the captives free.
We are one body in Christ. There should be no division in the church. Brother Phil talks about how the Bible only talks about two races of people. Those who are saved and those who are not.
The Bible shows us that Moses, Joseph, David, the Apostle Paul and Jesus all experienced rejection and it is not something that is uncommon. We have all dealt with rejection from people at some point in our lives. What should we do when we experience rejection from family, friends and people? n this lesson Dr. Wigfall goes over examples of rejection in the Bible and why God would allow us to experience it. We also discuss a Biblical example of how and why God Himself rejected someone in the Bibl...
When it comes to Christmas there are Christians who say we should celebrate it while there are some Christians who say we should not celebrate it at all. There are well meaning Christians who love the Lord on both sides of the argument and it can be confusing as to what we should do as Christians when it comes to Christmas and other traditional holidays. The Bible is always the final authority and we will see what the Bible says we should do. This message was preached on Christmas day 2021 and w...
Today we live in a cancel culture where if the world doesn't agree with what you say they want to shut you up. Cancel culture is a mob mentality. We have to make the right choice on who we serve. An example of cancel culture can be found in Acts 7. The church should be teaching what the Bible says not doing what the culture does. As Christians we should be different from the world and not assimilate with the it.
Many people wonder where Babylon of Revelation 18 is. Some say Rome, New York City, the Vatican or Jerusalem. Some say a future Babylon will be built. One of those theories could be right or they can all be wrong because it is a mystery. Babylon in Revelation 18 is an actual city who is accused of killing God's prophets. There was one city Jesus said this of in the Bible. In this lesson we discuss what Pastor Rahsaan thinks this city of Babylon is and provides Scripture to show why he thinks tha...
Revelation Chapters 17 & 18
This week we continue our teaching on the mystery of Babylon by taking a look at the origin of rebellion. There will be a big rebellion at the end of days that will be led by the Antichrist. While man has come and gone the spirit of rebellion has been around since the book of Genesis. We look at Nimrod and how he led a rebellion against God.
This week we continue our teaching on the Antichrist and how his spirit is at work today not only in the world but also in the church.
Revelation 17
The Bible tells us Jesus is many things to us. Listen to this message to find out some of what the Scriptures tell us about Jesus.
We conclude our series by talking about mercy and how important it is for us as God's children to show mercy to the both believers and unbelievers. If God showed mercy toward us then we should show mercy to others.
