Blessed Life Fellowship

Do you know that God has in mind to honor you?  God said in 1 Samuel 2:30, "He who honors Me, I will honor."  It's imperative, then, that we learn exactly how God expects to be honored if we want Him to honor us in return.  God has a glorious future in mind for you, but there are certain things He requires on your end to qualify for honor.

The scriptures tell us that it's the little foxes that spoil the vine.  Sometimes it's the "little" hidden things that go unnoticed that kill people's progress and hinder their prayers.  The issue of loyalty is one of those things.  This teaching examines what loyalty is, and looks at three Biblical examples of loyalty and and disloyalty, and the results of both.  You're about to discover how serious God is about loyalty, and how a person who lives it out is favored and blessed as a result.

It has been said that the past is always with you.  But the Christ-follower has been given a promise that "old things are passed away; behold, all things have become new."  Jesus' reserrection, therefore, wasn't for Him alone.  The scriptures tell us that the same power that raised Christ Jesus from the dead is at work within us, changing us, refining us, and shaping us into brand new people in the image of the One Who conquered death, hell, and the grave.  So you can truly leave the past in the past and embrace the calling for which God has created you.  With the right perspective, today can be a new beginning for you.  It's day one of the rest of your life!

Are you an honorable person?  How do you know?  How do you define honor?  Let's take a look in the mirror of God's Word.  Many people are stuck in ruts they can't get out of because they have not been honorable in many situations and don't realize it because our society doesn't teach honor these days.  But a truly honorable person in God's sight is in line for promotion.  After this teaching and the ones that follow, ignorance about honor will no longer be your problem.

Did you know that your ability to walk in strong faith is related to your level of reverence for the things of God?

WARNING!  THIS MESSAGE MIGHT CHALLENGE YOUR CURRENT VIEW OF CHRISTIANITY.  Did you know that the reason Jesus said that the road to salvation is narrow, and few are those who find it, is because the cost is high?  It's going to require a total abandonment of self and a total selling out to God. This message is one that is not taught enough in American churches, but one that must be proclaimed if we are to really understand the gospel and follow Jesus as a true disciple.

Very unlike the cultural and Hollywood concept of love, Mark and Juli Suverkrup detail how love is a choice and not always a feeling.  Their discussion brings out many points that are game-changers.

Turning to a less-conventional way of teaching for this session, the congregation at Blessed Life Fellowship is encouraged to chime in with questions and comments about what 1 Corinthians 13 means to them.  The result is some wonderful insight worth listening to.

Ephesians 5:1 instructs us to imitate our heavenly Father like dearly loved children.  And one of the things we are to imitate is His use of what we are calling the "Delete Button" in this teaching.  If you want to walk in strong faith, and if you want to experience inner healing, this principle is a must to master.
