Blessed Life Fellowship

Did you know that your redemption in Christ is more wonderful than you have probably understood?  The New Testament was originally penned in Greek, which is a much more expansive language than English, so there's a lot that's lost in translation.  There are actually four Greek words that are translated into English as the single word, redemption, or redeem.  This teaching will examine all four of these Greek words so we get a more thorough understanding of our redemption through Jesus' death and resurrection, and what God saved us from and then provided through that redemptive process.  

Revival is breaking out in the world today, but it's just the tip of the iceberg.  There is a remnant rising up in the body of Christ amidst the fakeness.  There is a separation happening between the sheep and the goats.  Guest speaker Eric Burton elaborates on the signs of the times.  

The term "revival" means a renewed interest or passion in the things of God, and it definitely seems like God is stirring the waters of revival in the midst of these turbulent times.  This teaching focuses on the characteristics of true revival, and how to enter your own time of revival in your life, your family, church, and community.  

Daniel is one of the most iconic people in the Bible, a man who provides for us one character lesson after another.  Bill Compton elucidates the various lessons we can learn from the life of this amazing man of God.  

In this follow up teaching to part 1, Brent Denney expounds upon the importance of being under the leadership of godly elders, and how this protective element of God's love is provided to keep His sheep healthy, in unity, and out of harm's way from those who would pervert the truth.  

In this first of two parts, Brent Denney addresses the importance of unity in the church and how the role of elders helps preserve that unity.  

In this final teaching in the series, we deal with some misconceptions about abiding in Jesus that can hinder our progress if we aren't careful.  And we also emphasize the importance of avoiding the tendency of simply dabbling in the things of God, but rather going all-in for Christ, and how to set the stage for bearing super-abundant fruit for the Father.  

In just five verses in John 15, Jesus instructed His disciples to abide TEN TIMES!  Obviously a close connection with Jesus is very important.  But what does abiding look like?  It may surprise you to know that it goes beyond just the outward disciplines of Bible reading, prayer, and church attendance.  After all, didn't the Pharisees do all these things?  Learn in this teaching what true abiding looks like and why we need it so much.  

This teaching highlights two areas God will target to prune His people, and four tools that God uses to do it.  A grand destiny of abundant fruitfulness awaits those who recognize how God prunes His people in these ways and knows how to respond properly.  

Like an artist producing a sculpture, God is faithfully at work in us chiseling away everything that doesn't look like Christ.  And sometimes submitting to that chiseling process can be painful.  But it's in this process of pruning that real and lasting transformation takes place.  Get ready to be prepared for greater fruitfulness to the Master by learning where and how He prunes us as we mature in Christ.
