Growing up we are told to obey the rules, which we couldn’t help but carry that mentality into adulthood and into how we relate to God. Am I doing this “right”? Does God approve of my choices or habits? In today’s message, we discussed the topic of freedom “Do you, Boo!”

“You Do You, Boo!” is a phrase used to tell someone that the other person can do whatever they want because it’s their life. In some churches, there is a set of rules that you are to follow to belong to that church but in Living Faith Church, it is our desire to spread a church culture that You Belong, no matter who you are or what you’ve done.

Every house has a different culture and style. It’s the same with churches having different hearts and cultures. There are a lot of churches out there and each one is different, though it may feel like at times that they are all the same in their judgment, not all churches share the same views. We are a church for sinners by sinners but we don’t glorify sins, we glorify Jesus. And in our hearts, we believe it to be our mission to lead you to Discover your Purpose, Live in Power, and Live out your God-given Potential.

Today’s sermon is the first sermon in the Culture Series of Our Hearts. In this sermon, we talk about the heart of Living Faith Church in three points 1.) BELONG, 2.) BELIEVE, and 3.) BECOME.

Most of us are skeptical when people say that God spoke to me or through me. We doubt the power of the all-powerful being. However, if we can set our mind to think that we are not human beings having a spiritual experience but we are spiritual beings having a human experience, then we wouldn’t question how God is able to speak to us.

In today’s sermon, we talk about the ABCs (Availability, Belief, and Community) of how God can speak to you.

Would you believe that you can have a conversation with God? In the scriptures, there were people like Moses, with whom God communicated with to part impart His Commandments. But would you believe that it isn't just the prophets or the chosen ones that are able to talk to God? We are all capable of doing so.

In today’s sermon we learn how to talk to and listen to God’s voice. For us to be able to hear God’s voice, we need to remember this in our conversation with GOD; 1.) Grace, 2.) Oral Prayer, and 3.) Decision.

“I love you but..,” Doesn’t it give you anxiety when someone follows their statement with a “BUT”? We are filled with dread because it is often followed by a contradicting statement that makes your heart drop. In today’s sermon, we explore the contradictions in God’s commandments; that is God’s Big But.

We often perceive God as an all-powerful being who, like in the Old Testament, rules with an iron fist. Thus, His commandments are often interpreted as something set in stone. And if we are to break even just one, we are condemned to eternal damnation. But, in this church, we believe in the message of God’s Grace. That even though we have sinned, our ever merciful God looks at us the same way--a creation made of His own image. Today, we explore the points that stress God’s Big But: 1.) Faith, 2.) Hope, and 3.) Love.

Do you just take what life shoves in your direction? Or are you willing to break free from the chains that bind you from living a life of freedom? In today's sermon, we explore a way on how we get freedom in our minds and that is by doggy style. The points to consider in doggy style are W.O.F.F; 1.) Word of God, 2.) Oral Prayers, 3.) Fellowship in Others, and 4.) Fun in Life.

Some of us, maybe most, have settled into a kind of life--a life where we think that it’s as good as we’re going to get. We think that this is what God has planned for us. However, if we closely study the scriptures, God actually has planned for us a far better life. We just need to reach out to him. We need to remember that the scriptures overpower the circumstance.

Testing

We are always looking to escape the chaos in life because chaos disrupts our life flow. But, waiting for life to no longer be chaotic is not an option. Time flies but the chaos will never end. It is impossible to live a life without chaos. So, in today’s sermon, we talk about how to stay calm while riding the chaos of life.

In Mark’s bible passage, we learn that Jesus was the embodiment of calm in chaos. Jesus slept comfortably in the middle of the storm. How in God’s name was He able to do that? Inspired by Jesus’ calmness, we discuss in this sermon to take T.E.A, 1.) TRUST, 2.) EMOTION, and 3.) ATTITUDE, in the face of chaos.

What do you do when the very person who is supposed to love you, abandons you? The person who’s supposed to protect you, hurt you? Or the one who’s supposed to give you confidence, is the one who hurts you? When we are hurting, we look for something or someone to blame. And, it’s so easy to put all the blame onto our Heavenly Father. In today’s sermon, we address our daddy issues.

Having trust issues and intimacy issues stem from our daddy issues. These are just some of the effects that we get from the trauma that is conceived from being abandoned or being abused by our fathers or father figures. In our time of hurting, as humans, we look for an outlet to blame for all the pain. So, in our pain, we transfer our blame from our earthly father to our Heavenly Father, who is supposed to be there to protect us. We discuss in this sermon how God gracefully takes this blame from us as the role of our Heavenly DAD, who is 1.) Dedicated, 2.) Accepts, and 3.) Defends us.

Money makes the world go round. In today’s sermon, we learn the biblical principles of finances. Our church teaches you that God wants you to be wealthy because, with wealth, we are able to give more. But we need to understand that the Kingdom has a different way of making us wealthy; that it is not just for oneself but for God’s people to benefit. We discovered today that the formula for mastering money is SIT-- 1.) Money is a Servant, 2.) Money is an Indicator, and 3.) Money is a Tool.
