Learn how life's trials and periods of isolation can deepen your connection with God, showcased by the lepers' heartfelt plea for Jesus' mercy. Understand that true healing demands humility and obedience, with Naaman's story serving as a profound example of how unexpected divine instructions can lead to complete restoration. This sermon emphasizes gratitude, highlighting that while ten lepers received physical healing, only the one who returned to thank Jesus attained spiritual salvation. Uncover why maintaining a thankful heart and steadfast faith is crucial even after receiving God's blessings.

"Are you drinking from broken wells?"

Jesus always takes the direct route to reach you, even when you're trying to avoid Him. He meets you in your brokenness, not to condemn, but to offer living water that truly satisfies.

Remember: • God has divine appointments for you • Only Jesus can meet your deepest needs • Your broken past can become your powerful testimony

Stop searching in dry places. Let Jesus fill your cup with living water that never runs dry. 🌊

ABOUT AUTHENTIC CHURCH

Authentic Church exists so that people will have an authentic encounter with God, be set free, and grow in Christ. Our mission is to help each person at Authentic believe in Jesus, belong to family, inspire true worship, walk in God's Spirit, and build the kingdom of God.

This message explores the story of Jesus healing a man born blind in John 9, revealing how God can use life's messes to create breakthroughs. It challenges the belief that suffering is always punishment, emphasizing that setbacks can be platforms for God's glory. Through the blind man's healing journey, including the unconventional method Jesus used, we learn that true transformation often comes through messy, uncomfortable processes. The message encourages us to trust God through trials, shift our perspective from "Why me?" to "What is God showing me?" and live boldly as a testimony of His power, knowing our identity is in Christ, not our past mistakes.

In this powerful message, we're challenged to 'Believe the Impossible' even when God seems late. The story of Lazarus from John 11 serves as a profound reminder that God's timing is perfect, even when it doesn't align with our expectations. We're encouraged to trust that God's delays are not denials, but opportunities for our faith to grow and for His glory to be revealed. Just as Jesus waited four days before raising Lazarus, sometimes our greatest miracles come after what seems like an unbearable wait. This teaches us to persist in faith, knowing that God's timing always has a bigger picture in mind. The message urges us to guard our emotions during delays and to stay at Jesus' feet, like Mary, in both good times and bad. It's a call to deepen our trust in God's love and wisdom, even when circumstances seem hopeless.

Beware the rot of jealousy! 🍎

The sermon "Feeling Lost" focuses on the danger of unbelief, which leads to both physical and spiritual disorientation. Drawing from Hebrews 3 and Numbers 13, it illustrates how the Israelites' lack of faith kept them from entering the Promised Land. The sermon highlights the importance of trusting in God's guidance and provision, as exemplified by Caleb's faith and courage. It encourages believers to focus on God's promises rather than the obstacles, stressing that faith and reliance on God lead to spiritual victories.
