Powerful message on dying to self and living for Jesus.

Roles of the Holy Spirit in The Life of a Believer

Empowered By The Holy Spirit

Friend of God [Elder Phil O'bryan]

An Empowerment That Is Lacking

In Acts 19 the Apostle Paul makes a return trip to Ephesus and encounters twelve disciples where he asks them if they had received the Holy Spirit since they believed. I believe if the Apostle Paul were here today he would ask that same question of some Christians today. There was something lacking in the disciples that led to that question being asked. Oftentimes there are Christians who don't have an understanding of the Holy Spirit and His role in the life of the believer. While the Baptism o...

Rock Bottom [Selfishness vs. Self Sacrifice]

Jeremiah 38

Rock Bottom [Faith, Fight, or Give Up] (Jeremiah 38)

When we feel like we hit rock bottom we can handle it in one of three ways. We take a look at Jeremiah 38 and see that we can either stand in faith, fight, or give up. As believers we should only do one of the three.

Don't Allow Your Circumstances To Keep You at Rock Bottom

This week we discuss how you can be in the will of God and opposition still come to make you feel like you hit rock bottom. Despite the opposition we face we can look at the example of Paul and Silas in Acts 16 and in the moments of trials we can pray and praise.

Hitting Rock Bottom Part 1 [Sifting]

There may have been a time or two in our lives we felt like we hit rock bottom. What do we do when we hit rock bottom? There is always hope because as Jesus prayed for Peter that his faith would not fail him, Jesus has prayed for us. Peter may have faltered, but his faith did not fail him. There is a sifting we all will go through but we must seek the Lord during that sifting.

Being a Servant for Christ [Matthew 20-28]

Matthew 20:20-28, Luke 12:51-53, Matthew 19:16-30

Lord, to whom shall we go?

John 6 is a chapter that can be overlooked when reading the dialogue between Jesus and the disciples. Jesus had more than twelve disciples and John 6:66 tells us that "many" walked away and walked with Him no more. How different is the interaction in John 6 in comparison to the modern culture of the church. Many followed Jesus for what He could do for them, but Jesus wanted them to enter into communion with Him. To believe and trust in Him. When the disciples walked away Jesus asked the twelve i...

Peace In Perilous Times

Last week we talked about how Jesus described the times of the end of the age where events will take place. This week we go over how Paul describes the condition of man in the last days. We have been in the last days since Christ's ascension, but perilous times happen when the the condition of man grows worse. We are seeing the hearts of man played out right before our eyes as Paul described in 2 Timothy 3. Even though man may get selfish we as the church must remain in love. 1 Timothy 4, 2 Timo...

Be Not Troubled

There are different natural disasters and events taking place in our country and throughout the world. As Christians we can find ourselves getting alarmed or frightened by the things we see or hear about, but Jesus tells us to not be troubled. Christ warned us that these things would happen in the last days. This message is a reminder as God's children to not be troubled. Matthew 24, 1 John 2:17-19

Exodus 23 [Sister Marie Ozmore]

Walk By Faith Not By Sight

In 2 Corinthians 5:7 Paul tells the church in Corinth that despite all the obstacles they faced in their journey to minister the Gospel they could keep going because they were walking by faith and not by sight. Walking by sight is the opposite of walking by faith. When we walk by sight we are not pleasing to God. 10 of the 12 spies walked by sight but despite getting ready to be stoned Joshua and Caleb walked by faith. Peter walked by sight when he sunk after he walked on water. Christians tend ...

Godly Fear vs. Natural Fear

Unfortunately, fear seems to be considered a sin among Christians which causes some to lie about the fear they experience. We are not to embrace fear, but we don't ignore it either. Many great people in the Bible such as Moses, Daniel, Joshua, David, and Paul experienced fear. Yet, some in the church are frowned upon when they admit they experience fear. Fear is NOT the opposite of faith, but it can be a by product of what is the opposite of faith. In this message we look at fear and how the Bib...

Standing In Faith [Part 4] [The Example of Joseph]

This week we look at the life of Joseph and how he stayed in faith despite the valley's he went through. We can learn a lot from the life of Joseph and how he was able to move on in life by putting his trust in God. Romans 15:4, Genesis 37, Genesis 45, 2 Corinthians 4:8-10, 1 Peter 4, Matthew 11:28, Hebrews 11:22

Standing In Faith [Part 3]

This week we continue our teaching on faith and how it is a requirement as believers for us to be in faith and to trust the Lord. God doesn't require us to be perfect, but He requires us to be in faith. Some may be weaker in their faith, but those who are still must be in faith. , Provers 3:5-6, Hebrews 4, Hebrews 10, Hebrews 11, Romans 14, Daniel 3

Standing In Faith [Part 2]

This week we continue our teaching on faith and how we cannot stagger at the promises God has for us. Hebrews 11:1-13, Romans 4:20-21, Psalm 37:3-5

Standing in Faith [Part 1]

This week we continue a teaching that started during our midweek Bible study on Faith. In order to please God we have to stand in faith. In order to stand in faith we may have to separate from some people to include other believers if they try and dissuade us from being in faith.

No More Tears [Elder O'bryan]

By My Spirit [Zechariah 4]

This week we take a look at Zerubbabel and how God sent a word to encourage him through the prophet Zechariah. Like Israel and Zerubbabel we often times face enemy opposition which can cause discouragement or we can become indifferent to the assignment God is calling us to do, but we must understand it is not by might nor by power, but by the Lord's Spirit that we will do what He is calling us to do. No matter how many natural resources or people we have none of it matters if it is not driven by...

Keep Up Part 3 [Renewing The Mind]

This week we discuss how we have to renew our minds as we keep up with the Holy Spirit. There are three types of people the person who is not born again, the spiritually mature Christian, and the carnal Christian. We have to look at which one we relate to. We tend to celebrate people who are carnal Christians but that was not something to be proud of when we read the Bible. What will help us to go from being a carnal Christian to a spiritually mature Christian is keeping up with the Holy Spirit ...

Keep Up Part 2 [The Wilderness & Trials]

This week we talk about how God will allow His children to experience the wilderness, trials, and tribulations because He loves us and is testing us. Even though it may feel like we don't want to go through it, we want to give up, or we made a mistake we should understand according to the Bible we are right where God wants us to be. The Holy Spirit will lead us into the wilderness and is right there with us even though it may feel like He is not with us. Romans 5:1-5, James 1:2-4, Matthew 4:1-11...

Keep Up Part 1

When ducks are first born they go through a process called imprinting that teaches the duck how to follow the adult duck's movement and sound. When a person becomes born again we go through an imprinting process with the Holy Spirit and we have to learn to keep up with Him. Unlike ducks the imprinting process of a believer never ends as long as we are in this world. We have to learn the voice of the Holy Spirit and He is there to guide us in different ways to get us to become more Christ like if...

One Thing [Phil O'bryan]

Truth & Love II

Truth and Love may not always be accepted by those who are unsaved as well as those who believe God accepts them despite their behavior. The life of a Christian is a marathon and is not an easy walk in this world. Truth and Love may come in different tones but they should always have the same note. Matthew 11:1-19, Isaiah 35:5-6, 2 Thessalonians 2:8-12
