Treasured Truth

Pastor Ford will explain today that if our Christianity is not touching our whole life it’s because we’re still following the world’s standards. It’s because we’re still immature in our faith.  Our Christianity is supposed to affect everything we have, everything we do, everything we say, feel and give.  And so, our relationship with Christ should compel us to serve Him with our everything.  Are you ready to serve Him that way?

As we continue to look at the description the Apostle Paul gives us of the mistakes the Children of Israel made by not obeying God, Pastor Ford will remind us that we need to learn from the error of their ways.  We need to obey God, instead of being stubbornly rebellious like Israel was.  Find out more when you join us for today’s Treasured Truth.

Intimate trust and fellowship with Jesus provides us the enablement for making the impossible possible. But we need to make sure that whatever we’re doing is connected to our vital and intimate fellowship with Jesus Christ. And that the impossible thing we are seeking is something which will be in fulfillment of His purpose, His plan, and that will glorify Him first and foremost.

As we begin a new study in the book of Philippians, we’ll see that the Apostle Paul encourages us to realize that as believers, we can do all things through Christ who gives us strength.  In this, Paul is writing God’s truth to us.  And when God says we can, then guess what—we can! But what we have to do is believe what God has said and we have to act on it.  We can trust Him to follow through on His promises to us.

When we begin to realize that the essence of everything we need is found in the person of Jesus Christ, we will begin to seek Him more. Why? Because we realize—just as scripture teaches—that in Him we live and move and have our being. Knowing that truth is key when we are learning to live life right.

As we’re learning to live life right, Pastor Ford wants to remind us that the Bible is our instruction manual for life. We’re not ever going to do better than what we can do when we follow the instructions it has for us. And as believers, if we go outside of what the Bible instructs, eventually we’re going to fail.

The quantity of your wisdom determines the quality of your life. The more wisdom you get the better you’re going to be able to live life. So, the challenge in life then becomes getting more wisdom. Find out more about this important concept on today’s Treasured Truth.

Do we really understand that everything we have comes from God?  And that we should seek His guidance about how to use the resources in our lives?  Pastor Ford will ask these important questions today, as we look back and learn from the mistakes that the Children of Israel made in the Old Testament.

Abuse damages a person’s self-esteem, because our mentality shapes our personality, which determines our reality.  If we think something—because someone’s told us that we’re worthless and no good—and then we believe that about ourselves, that’s how we’re going to act.  On today’s Treasured Truth, we’ll hear more from Pastor Ford about this important topic and how to deal with the problem of domestic violence, especially in the church.

People are sometimes in unhealthy relationships for so long, that the sub-normality of their relationship seems to them to be normal instead of abnormal.  They’re so used to dysfunction, if anything normal comes their way, they don’t know how to respond to it.  We’ll hear more today about how to deal with dysfunction like this and to recognize the problem of domestic violence.
