No Time For God – Busy, busy …. We are all so busy, so we look for ways to shorten our time with God. We want the church service to be short, our prayers are short, our time studying God’s Word is short or none existing. We are too busy to spend time with God. God honors those who seek him, those who spend much time in prayer, and those who studies his Word. But for those who don’t have time for God, be assured God won’t have time for you. God’s Word is filled with scriptures teaching us about how we need to continuously seek the Lord so we can find him, so in our time of need, the Lord will answer our prayers. This requires you and I to spend a lot of time with God.

The Real You –This teaching is about realizing that we cannot grow our faith without being true to ourselves and with God. Today’s world is teaching us to be fake and false, but how can we serve God if we are not being true with who we really are? When our lives are based on the fake and false things that we wear, things we put on, and the things we do to ourselves that changes us into something that we are not. We must be true to ourselves, so we can be true to God. We know God only deals with truth, so if we want the Lord to answer our prayers, we better get real with God regarding who we are.

Crying Out To God – is a teaching about learning to cry out to God in good and bad times so he knows our name and answer us. We can’t be the type of believer who allows pride to control our faith. Pride will make us stiff-neck and we won’t humble ourselves and cry out to God. We need to come before the Lord on bending knees, with our heart open, and tears flowing from our eyes. Crying aloud, Lord we have sinned, we have done wrong. Lord we cry out to you because you have blessed us in so many ways and we want to thank you. We need your grace and mercy Lord. With tears flowing from our heart, Lord hear us, harken to our cries.

All Glory Belongs To God – in following, sharing, and preaching God’s Word, we receive blessings and favored from the Lord, but praise that are received should not be attached to us, but return to the throne of God. You and I cannot keep any of God’s glory for ourselves, allowing others to be lifted up and praised. We know that all things good comes from God, and he deserves all the glory. If God provided for us, then he deserves the glory. If the Lord healed us, then he deserves the glory. If God made a way for us, then he deserves all the praise and glory. All glory, honor, and praise belongs to God.

No Turning Back - After we have established our faith correctly in the Lord, it is important that we grow and work on our salvation as taught by the Lord. We have to reach a point in our faith where no trouble, no loss, no situation, no circumstance can cause us to turn back to our old ways, to turn back to seeking things in this world. We have come too far, we can’t turn back now. We have overcome much through leaning on Jesus, we can’t turn away, we can’t turn back; we must continue to grow our faith through it all. If we turn back, we won’t be fit, we won’t be able to enter in God’s Kingdom if we turn back.

Growing Through Storms – is a teaching about how we need to grow through all that life throws our way. We can chose to allow storms that come our way make us not believe or even worse, turn us away from God. We must come to understand and learn why storms are necessary in our lives, why storms are intended to help us grow in the Lord. Without a storm coming in our lives, nothing would make us take notice, nothing would make us change our behavior, and nothing would make us cry out to God.

Personal Walk With God - This is a teaching about the importance of developing a personal walk with God, so we not only know him, but he knows us. It’s through a personal walk with the Lord that we are able to grow and mature. We are not in the Old Testament times when God accepted as one group of people. This is about you and I have a personal relationship, a personal walk with Christ Jesus so he won’t tell us he never knew us, and to get away from him. He will call us friend, because we walked with him, we followed the Lord.

Conditions Of God – is a teaching about how God has established conditions (If’s) in his word that we must adhere to for blessings and favor to flow unto us. The Lord has given us his love unconditionally, but he has not given us his favor and blessings unconditionally, we must examine our lives as it relates God’s Word and the conditions in which God the Father will bless us through his Son Christ Jesus. For all the blessings and favor of God is manifested in Christ, but we must follow, obey, and apply God’s Word to our lives to receive.

Clinging To Self - This is a teaching about looking at our walk with the Lord and making sure we are not clinging to our old self. We have come to understand just how indulging our old self and old behaviors are, and how they will keep us from growing and maturing in Christ Jesus. We can’t serve the Lord while still desiring the things we did before coming to know Christ Jesus. All our old habits, behaviors, and sins have to be put to death, they must go for us to be able to faithfully follow and serve Christ Jesus in pleasing God the Father. It all must die, so we are free to serve, free to obey God
