Lucifer was God’s adversary who rebelled against Him in heaven who then became the adversary of man here on earth. In Genesis 3 we see the adversary tempting man to rebel against God. All through scripture we can see him working against God and humanity. What was God’s answer to this enemy? Jesus. We celebrate the birth of Jesus during the Christmas season. God sent His son into the world and He became our answer for our Adversary. This message is a vivid reminder that Jesus did appear to destroy the works of the devil.

God created man and gave him every provision he would need to serve him in the garden. With the provision came one prohibition that was meant for the good of man not to withhold good. When man took the forbidden fruit, sin entered the world with its consequences. Man had no answer for His sin but God promised He would provide the answer from the seed of the woman. Thousands of years later Jesus, God’s Answer, was born of the virgin so that humanity could be saved from sin. This message will cause you to remember to celebrate the one who is God’s Answer.

This message was shared on the day we received a special offering for our new classroom facility. The message however, is more than a fundraising message but rather it is a generation raising message. In the midst of the sermon we had some fun giving stuff away while at the same time laying out the principles of what we plan to do in that facility with our present and future generations. Using some giveaways we laid out the principles of enlightening, equipping and empowering a generation.

Our lives have many defining moments in them. Some of those moments are joyful, and others can be sad. Defining moments are simply part of life, but what can we glean from them? What and who is defined during those moments? This message attempts to answer those questions and bring out some principles that we can apply when we find ourselves at true defining moment in our lives.

The Apostle Paul had a lot to say about money and giving. The same Holy Spirit who inspired him to write on subjects such as grace, faith, regeneration, and many other subjects inspired him to write about money. Sadly, many Christians want to rely on some of those writings except when it comes to their money. The fact is giving statistics for the American church are abysmal yet therein lies a great hope. Imagine the untapped power and potential when God’s people truly begin to put “their money where their mouth is”. This is a message directed squarely at believers taking on the responsibility of godly giving and seeing the blessings of it. And at the end of it all the best part of it is that it all brings glory to God.

Ephesians 3:20 says God is able to do immeasurably more than we can think or imagine. Why is that possible? It’s possible because of the One who is Immeasurable. Only the God who IS immeasurable can do the immeasurable. And the great news is that we, a limited and measured people, can come into covenant with the One who is immeasurable, and now the immeasurable is possible for us. This message will challenge you to believe for God’s immeasurable simply because He, the Immeasurable One, is able and willing to do it in our lives.

Peter sat before Jesus and heard the words out of Jesus’ mouth: “Simon, Simon, Satan has asked to sift you as wheat.” I don’t know about you but I can think of a whole lot of things I would have rather heard Jesus say. Who wants to be sifted? Not me. But, the words that followed next should have been of great comfort and encouragement to Peter… ”But I have prayed for YOU." Peter was going to be sifted, but he had someone praying for him before he went through it and while he was going through it. Who prays for you matters! And is there any better intercessor in our lives than Jesus? Take heart…If you are being sifted…you are being prayed for. And the one praying is better than the one sifting!

Do you want something from God? Do you want more of God? The next question then is…What are you prepared to do that is out of your ordinary so that you can experience the out of the ordinary God? This message takes a look at the encounter of Naaman who had leprosy going to Elisha for healing from God. Elisha commanded him to do something that didn’t make sense to him and was out of his ordinary. This message will challenge you to do something out of your ordinary that just may lead you to out of the ordinary things.

A generation stood at the threshold of the promised land, God’s promise to Abraham and his descendants. Joshua would lead this generation into the promised land to possess what God had promised to his forefathers. One generation had stood in that very same place but was unable to secure the promise. God makes promises and He keeps them even if they are years later. Are there promises that God has made for your life, family, city and region that He still intends on keeping but is going to do it through you? Let this message stir your hearts to believe and receive ancient promises.

David sinned when he slept with Bathsheba and conspired to have her husband killed. The child born out of that act died. Solomon was born to David and Bathsheba after their subsequent marriage. They named him Solomon, but God sent the prophet Nathan to give him another name: Jedidiah. The reason for this name change was because God had a message for Him: “I love you.” The God of heaven would personally send a prophet to let him know how much He loved him. That’s an awesome God. Do you know how much He loves you? This message will help you see how much, in spite of every situation, God is radically in love with you.
