Does your life reveal the evidence of your faith in Christ? This message teaches us the three basic evidences of faith, and the seven things to look for—and demonstrate—as further evidence.

We need to have a heart for God and, as we do, we will live a life of faith, display a labor of love, and live steadfast in the blessed hope we have in Christ the Lord. We are to continue to grow spiritually in every way if we are to escape the corruption in the world that is caused by sin and evil desires. As we demonstrate faith, love and hope in Christ and the gospel message, the world will see Jesus in us and we will be displaying evidences of our steadfast faith in our times of trials.

What is an overcomer? How can we live as overcomers? What does an overcomer look like? Here’s how to rise above the difficulties of this life and be an overcomer with Christ!

It is so easy to focus on the physical and desire riches of this life, and ignore the true riches of eternity with Christ. We face pressures, temptations, possible slander and hatred towards Christian beliefs, not to mention the regular stress and issues of every day life. But Jesus said I know your afflictions and your poverty (yet you are rich). Spiritual compromise is always possible. But the one who overcomes (is spiritually victorious) is the one who gains eternal life with Christ in Glory.

Here’s how to rise above the difficulties of this life and be an overcomer with Christ!

Do you need a spiritual awakening or adjustment? This message encourages us not to lose reverence for God. Plus, learn four keys to cultivate it and remain spiritually faithful.

The power and presence of God can be forgotten. Are you allowing the wrong things to influence you? Are you spiritually drifting? These questions are important to consider as you strengthen your faith and relationship with Christ. When we lose the fear and reverence of God, we take steps away from God. We need to be sensitive to the things of God. He desires for you to be close to him.

Today we revisit a message from 2020 that is helpful and encouraging.

When we build on a firm foundation of Christ, we can withstand whatever comes our way. A foundation based on God produces steadfast faith and life, and allows us to be living examples to others.

Dig your spiritual foundation deep; develop deep faith. Building a sure spiritual foundation means investing, inspecting, and ensuring the foundation is maintained—and God’s given us the instructions to do this!

Learn to trust God with the small stuff. When you do, you will find it easier to trust God with the big stuff.

Did you know that your words have the power of life and death? Words matter. This message reminds us that our words can spark faith or influence destruction.

We are to be ambassadors of Christ: good examples, guiding others in word and deed. Words can give life or destroy. Don’t find yourself spiritually adrift because of the words you use every day. We must try to control what we say. Such control is learned as we grow and spiritually mature in Christ. Words spoken carelessly can destroy a life, a relationship, a marriage, a family, or a church like a spark can start a devastating fire. God’s word is true and powerful. Allow the Holy Spirit to use the word of God as a rudder to direct your life. You do your part in speaking the words of life, and allow the Holy Spirit to use your words to encourage someone. Let us carefully choose the words we speak.
