Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 5:7, “For indeed Christ, our Passover, was sacrificed for us.” In a new message from the Portraits of Christ sermon series, Ps. Heath Flanagan talks about the story behind Passover and the meaning of it in the sermon titled, “Christ our Passover."  Together we will look at these three main points in the Passover story in Exodus: The Proclamation, The Prescription and The Protection. The story itself shows God’s great faithfulness and how the design of salvation was already on God’s mind since the beginning of time.  Thus, when difficult times approach, it may be difficult to see the fulfillment of God’s promises or His love. But when we look back, we see that God always led us and protected us - and He still does the same today.  Thanks be to God for His great love!  #onlinechurch #portraitsofchrist #passoverlamb #christ

Ps. Heath Flanagan shares hope into our lives as he continues the Portraits of Christ sermon series, in the message titled, “Father and Son”.   There are times in our lives we have questions about why things happen. We might even question God about why He allows sufferings and trials. But, in the story of Abraham and Isaac, we learn together about God’s love towards us and how we should learn to trust in Him no matter what we go through. Abraham, in hope, believed the promise given to him by God and did not waver in unbelief.  Today’s sermon represents a Portrait of Christ in the Old Testament. We will follow it in three main parts: the Place, the Price, and the Provision.  For sure, God is a faithful and a just God. So, let us keep believing and never lose hope. Our Father in heaven and His son always have us in their minds.  Jesus loves you all!  #portraitsofchrist #fatherandson #onlineservice #onlinechurch

There are times we have questions about what happens in our lives, especially in our difficult situations - when we’re either trying to climb over a mountain or trying to hide from the storms of life.  Delivering the first sermon to start our new “Portraits of Christ” series, Ps. Heath Flanagan encourages us to always look up to God during times of worry in a message titled, “In Christ Alone.”  Like Noah, we will experience trials, tribulation, and uncertainties, especially during this period of time. But for sure, God is in control and His thoughts are always toward us. Together, we will look at Noah’s story and three ways God provided: The Way Out, The Way In, and The Way Through.  We are never alone in our hard times as God never forsakes us. He is the only way and the only assurance that we need to get through every situation. Therefore, may we all believe in Him and never forget that He loves us, and always patiently waits for us to come to Him.  Jesus loves you all!  #portraitsofchrist #oldtestament #noahark #onlineservice #inchristalone

Time is precious to most people. Sometimes we are too preoccupied by it. However, when we look to our past, we see that in all things and through all time, God always cares and is graciously involved in our lives.  He is the owner of time and He’s always ready to find us and be with us. Looking back to our past, He is the one who found us.  Entering the last episode of the Portraits Sermon Series, Ps. Heath Flanagan shares with us about how Jesus found a man named Simon, and led him and his family to know Him in the message titled, “Providence”. In the story, we will see these three things concerning Simon: How He Was Found, How He Was Compelled and How He Was Saved.  There is no greater joy than knowing Jesus and experiencing His peace. He will always love us, sustain us and never forsake us. He is able to find us and accept us despite our past mistakes. He is truly a loving God.  Jesus loves you all

When we find ourselves stuck in our most difficult predicaments, it can be easy to give up and lose hope.   Continuing the Portraits Sermon Series, Ps. Heath Flanagan teaches us about prayer and how Jesus loves everyone - whoever we are, wherever we're from, in a message called, “Draw Me Lord”.  In studying the encounter between Jesus and the Canaanite woman, the focus of the message will be to consider: Her Predicament, Her Prayer, Her Persistence and Her Peace.   We will see that there is no specific formula to come to God, to talk to God or even to have our prayers answered. However, what we all can do is trust in His timing, come to Him in confidence and pray persistently. This will help us gain more understanding of His will in our lives.  Through knowing Him more, we all can remain confident in our walk of faith that He is the living God who will never forsake us, but will always be with us.  Jesus loves you all!  #onlinechurch #onlineservice #prayer #portraitsermonseries #drawmelord

We all can get so distracted in our daily lives that we lose rest; we become more and more restless as we try to quench our impulsive desires in life, such as wealth, higher status or even love. This world will submerge us in a constant striving to search for more, but never be satisfied.  Continuing the Portraits Sermon Series with the sermon titled, "The Waterpot," Ps. Heath Flanagan explains that there is an offer from Jesus which is able to satisfy all that we desire. We will learn this from the story of an encounter between Jesus and a Samaritan woman from these three perspectives: Her Embarrassment, Her Desire and Her Burden.  Instead of being driven by our worldly desires, we can surrender all of them to Jesus and give Him ownership of our lives as He is able to fill us with living water that never disappoint, and never fails.  Therefore, let all of us come only to Him as He always accepts us with His love.   Jesus loves you all!  #portraitssermonseries #thewaterpot #livingwater #onlineservice #onlinechurch

Jesus represents all that God has ever wanted to say to us. He is the only one we need in every situation we face.  Today we will continue our Armor of God Devotional Series Part 6, the Sword of the Spirit. In this devotion, we will learn about the importance of reading and understanding the Bible. As we do, the Holy Spirit enables us to know and remember what God wants to say to us, and maybe to others through us as well.  Thus, let us not lose hope or be discouraged in facing adversities, but remember to go on the offense by studying the word of God and speaking it out.  Jesus loves you all!  #biblestudy #onlinedevotional #armorofgod

In our new sermon from the Portraits Series, Ps. Heath Flanagan will lead us to Mark 9:14-27, where we will consider the message titled, "Lord, I Believe" - an encounter between Jesus and a desperate father whose son is horribly possessed by a demon. We will learn from these three main perspectives: The Suffering Son, The Satanic Source, and The Strong Savior.  In facing the difficulties of life, we can all depend on God. When we acknowledge our spiritual weaknesses and ask Jesus to help us with our unbelief, Jesus will surely respond to our cry and draw us closer to Himself. Furthermore, let us never forget about our families and relatives; let us share with them the love of Jesus Christ and His faithfullness. Jesus welcomes us with His mercy and grace, so let us approach Him in faith.  Jesus loves you all  #portraitssermonseries #Lordibelieve #onlinechurch #onlineservice #amazinglove

Today, we've gotten used to trying our best to please other people. Sometimes we tend to compromise with others - perhaps with our superiors at work or our friends. Its all because we want their approval and gain more reputation. At the root of it all is pride.  For this new message from the Portraits Sermon Series, Ps. Heath Flanagan's message "A Defiant Stand" reminds us that pride can be an obstruction in our growing relationship with God, and in our living in His truth.  From the story of an encounter between Jesus and Pilate, we will learn not to make the same mistakes as Pilate from these four perspectives in the story: His Ambition, His Contention, His Interrogation, His Rejection.  Let us learn together to stand firm and grow in Jesus Christ; to humble ourselves before Him; to not let pride lead us into ruin.  Jesus loves you all!  #portraitssermonseries #onlineservice #onlinechurch #pride

In the newest edition of the Armor of God Devotional Series, "Helmet of Salvation," Ps. Heath Flanagan shows us the importance of knowing why we wear the helmet and how we wear the helmet.   Events take place in our daily lives and most of the time will lead to battles in our mind. This is because our enemy works to corrupt our minds with lies and accusations. Even though it sounds like a difficult battle, God is powerful and He is a faithful God who will always be with us in battle.  Therefore, let us learn to wear this Helmet of Salvation correctly. Don't forget to share the message with your friends and families, so that we can all face this battle together in unity with God as our friend.  Jesus loves you all.  #onlinedevotional #biblestudy #armorofgod #helmetofsalvation
