Living Faith Christian Church Sermons

We spend a lot of time looking for ways to make life better, easier, and more effective. But what are the practices that actually shape us into the people we've been created to be? Psalm 19 points us to three things worth doing every day: praise, Scripture, and prayer. Praise helps us recognize the greatness of God. Scripture shows us His ways, gives wisdom, restores the soul, and helps us see clearly. Prayer brings our whole lives before God, asking Him to reveal what we cannot see, empower us to overcome sin, and change both our hearts and our words. We don’t need 37 life hacks. Start here: praise God, listen to His Word, and talk to Him.This message was preached by Pastor Victor Gluckin at Living Faith Christian Church in Warwick, Rhode Island.

In Acts 14:22, we are reminded that hardship is part of the Christian journey, but it is not the end of the story. Scripture encourages us not to let present suffering overshadow the good God is still doing. Suffering is temporary, it touches all of us, and in time it gives way to comfort - so keep going and do not quit!

Romans 12 gives us a beautiful picture of what the life of a disciple should look like - but sometimes that calling can feel impossible. Romans 7-8 reminds us that God never intended for us to live this life by our own strength; he gives us his spirit to empower us, help us, and form us into the likeness of Christ. When we reach the end of ourselves, we can remember: "I can’t. But with God, I can."This message was preached by Pastor Victor Gluckin at Living Faith Christian Church in Warwick, Rhode Island.

Continuing the call to overcome evil with good, Romans 12 shows us what that looks like: blessing those who hurt us, refusing every form of retaliation, pursuing peace, and forgiving. Forgiveness does not mean ignoring sin or allowing someone to continue in it; love may gently confront wrongdoing with the goal of restoration. When we entrust justice to God and choose active love instead, evil does not get the final word, love does.

Romans 12 calls us to offer our whole lives to God, including the way we respond when others hurt or wrong us. Allowing evil to shape our response distorts our relationships with the offender, with others, and even with ourselves, while contributing to more evil. But with hearts strengthened by God, we can intentionally choose to overcome evil with good through every good work and word.
