If you're struggling with energy during a more restricted fast, here's a great life hack, along with a very important spiritual insight as well.
Is there a way to obtain more grace from God? And are there different levels of grace for different people and different situations? This teaching explores one important way that God's people can tap into more grace and more favor!
There are two questions that form the foundation of this teaching. First, what if there was an element of God that is yet undiscovered by you? Would you be willing to explore what it takes to experience that new element of God? And secondly, what would you say God might want for Christmas from you this year? Both these questions and more are addressed in this important Christmas teaching.
The fruits of the spirit of kindness and gentleness and not quite as easily defined as the English might imply. In the original Greek, these words mean far more than just being easy to get along with. Find out more in this important teaching on the full Biblical expression of kindness and gentleness taken from Genesis 13 and the story of Abram and Lot. It might make you reevaluate your life more deeply.
King David demonstrated a quiet strength when he was being driven out of Jerusalem because of the overthrow of the kingdom by his son Absalom. His patience and self-restraint in the face of a desperate situation provides the example for this teaching on the fruit of patience, and the various ways we can apply that in every day life.
Joy and Peace are probably the only fruits of the spirit listed in Galatians 5:22 that don't have to be pursued because they are byproducts of pursuing the other seven. Learn in this teaching how joy and peace can be achieved effortlessly as we seek to live out the other virtues of godliness.
In this first Fruit of the Spirit listed in Galatians 5:22, we take a deep dive into the high stakes of living a life dedicated to our faith being expressed through the God kind of love. In doing so, much emphasis is placed on maintaining the unity of the spirit through the bond of peace in our home and churches, and how not doing so can bring havoc into one's life. The stakes are high, and the rewards sweet.
This teaching is an introduction to the nine Fruits of the Spirit listed in Galatians 5:22. It deals with differentiating godliness with holiness, and what those look like in practical terms. This first introductory teaching lays the groundwork for the rest of the series by providing practical steps in learning to grow in godliness every day.
In this post-election message, Pastor Andy addresses our marching orders for just such a time as this, and what we can do as Christians to make the most of this opportunity before us and advance the Kingdom forward in power with the proper attitudes, actions, and prayers.
A study from Arizona Christian University recently suggested that 32 million regular churchgoers are likely to stay home this upcoming election. However, as Christians we are called to advance God's Kingdom everywhere, even and perhaps especially in the world of politics. This teaching examines that concept Biblically, but also from the perspective of American history. And in doing so, we also examine a side-by-side comparison of the platforms of our two major political parties and size them up against biblical values. After this teaching, you can no longer claim ignorance. So go now and advance God's Kingdom in the earth!
Guest speaker Bob Mortimer shares his testimony of God's faithfulness and living a life of purpose and joy even after having one arm and both legs amputated after a horrible accident in his early twenties. Bob has led thousands of people to Christ in the last 40 years, having shared in jails, schools, and churches around the country. You will see a different side of yourself and God after listening to Bob.
This teaching addresses two very simple principles of happiness from the scriptures you can implement today -- one a mindset, and one a practice.
Research has shown that frequent use of social media is a major contributor to depression and anxiety because of "social comparison." In this teaching we explore the concept of social comparison in the Bible and how it robs people of enjoyment of life.
BLF member Bill Compton leads the charge in this teaching, borrowing from both scripture and his personal experiences in navigating difficulties in relationships and the damage done to a person's life who refuses to forgive. This is a fresh look at an age-old topic that will recharge your determination to forgive and walk in love. Your happiness depends on it!
Did you know that although the Scriptures describe Jesus as a man of sorrows, it also describes Him as being anointed with the oil of joy? It is possible to maintain supernatural peace and joy even in the midst of life's pains and disappointments. BLF elder Brent Denney expounds.
What are some of the things you can think of that our culture has led us to believe will lead to happiness? Would you be able to accept that most if not all of those things are lies? We discuss them here in this teaching. What DOES lead to happiness then? The answers are quite simple, but not widely known. They are found in the Bible...and this teaching! :-)
The primary pursuit of most people is their own happiness. And God wants us to be happy. But how to obtain happiness looks very different than what the world would have us believe. God has not left us uninformed on how to live an abundant life. We just have to follow His instructions.
In one of Pastor Andy's longer teachings, this message is a departure from the usual method of teaching about a single concept. Rather, Pastor Andy casts vision by sharing what God has called Blessed Life Fellowship to be and do. In doing so, there are numerous takeaways and nuggets of truth shared that help to refine the vision of BLF that can also be of personal benefit to those who hear.
There are several ways we get ourselves in trouble with our mouths. And the book of Proverbs is full of exhortations in how to use our speech and how not to use it. Notably, some of the ways we use our mouths leads to abominations that God hates according to Proverbs. Learn in this teaching how to avoid abominable practices and instead use our mouths for good rather than evil.
One of the most common themes of Proverbs is the far-reaching damage a person can do to themselves and others around them when they give vent to their anger. But chronic anger is simply a symptom of other underlying spiritual problems that are addressed in this teaching.
