The Open Word (Audio)

Join us today as Pastor David teaches on the gifts of the Holy Spirit. When you get saved, the Holy Spirit fills you and gives you certain spiritual gifts. What spiritual gifts have you been given by God? The purpose of these spiritual gifts is to serve the body of Christ, and to further the kingdom of God. Are you using your gifts for God’s glory, or are you just living for yourself? If you don’t know your gifts you should get out and start serving the body of Christ and see what the Lord does.

Join us today as Pastor David exhorts all believers to live their lives sacrificially for Christ. Jesus said that you need to die daily for Him. The Lord desires that you not conform to the world, but that you would be transformed by the renewing of your mind. The Apostle Paul specifically exhorts against having spiritual pride. You’re called to grow in spiritual maturity and grow in humility, not pride. Are you becoming more conformed to the world, or more transformed into the image of Christ?

Join us today as Pastor David continues his teaching on the importance of cooperating with the sanctifying work of the Holy Spirit in your life. If you’re a Christian, then you are a saint, and a new creation. The old things have passed. behold, all things are made new. In Christ, the Holy Spirit will continue to transform you from glory to glory. If you’ve truly surrendered yourself to Christ then you will have a set apart life, holy unto God. Purpose to confess and repent of all known sins.

Join us today as Pastor David shares with us the importance of cooperating with the sanctifying work of the Holy Spirit in your life. Paul is pleading with you as a believer to live a life worthy of the calling that God has placed on your life. Are you living a sacrificial life for the Lord, or are you living for yourself? Living a transformed and holy life is not so that you can be saved. Living a transformed life proves that you’ve genuinely received Christ in your heart. Choose to obey God rather than the flesh.

Join us today as Pastor David teaches about the importance of being God’s remnant in a dark world. If you’ve received Christ as your Lord and Savior then you have been predestined by God to receive Christ. This is a difficult concept to understand in our human minds. You can’t understand all the vastness that is God. You have to trust in His goodness and sovereignty, God longs for you to live in the fullness of your faith. You have been grafted into the branch of God’s family, live like you believe it!

Join us today as Pastor David teaches about the importance of being a remnant in this world for God. Even though there is darkness all around you and evil may seem to be prevailing, God still has a remnant. Are you a part of God’s remnant in an evil world? There are many within the church that are not truly a part of God’s remnant because they act and look just like the world. You were called as a Christian to be set apart from the world, not to become friends with it.

Pastor David will be continuing to exhort you today to take personal evangelism more seriously. You have a responsibility to proclaim Christ because someone, somehow, proclaimed Christ to you. How can you keep such Good News to yourself? When you’re in love with God you desire to obey Him, and what does He ask of you? He asks you to share the Good News with whoever is in your sphere of influence, and even to go into the world. Do you have a love for the lost, do you even care?

Pastor David will be exhorting you today to take personal evangelism more seriously. You have the message of Christ because of the hope of salvation that is in you. Do you regularly share the Good News and proclaim Christ to the lost? The reason God didn’t take you to heaven when you got saved is He desires to use you as a vessel to spread the Good News to a lost and dying world. Jesus said, “Go therefore, and make disciples of all nations”. Are you making disciples?

Pastor David will be teaching the importance of believing in the simplicity of the gospel, as well as taking this good news to the lost and dying world. Isaiah says, ‘how beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace, who bring glad tidings of good things.’ Are you declaring what Christ has done in your life? When was the last time you preached the gospel to an unbeliever? It’s not your responsibility to save anybody. It is your responsibility to share the gospel. Leave the rest up to God.

Pastor David will be teaching the importance of having a relationship with Christ rather than just being religious. Religion and rituals can lead you into having a stale intimacy in your relationship with Christ. You can have zeal for religion but can be lacking in your relationship with God. The point of your relationship with God is not based on all your activities you do at church. Don’t get so involved in being busy with religion at church because you may miss Christ. God wants your heart.
