Inappropriate Joy

By Fruit Of The Spirit, Joy
Are you happy? Do you have joy? Did you know that the two are not the same? Happiness comes and goes, but joy is persistent. We can be joyful in the midst of struggle, in the midst of persecution and even in our grief. How? Because joy is a choice. We have the ability to choose to be joyful no matter our circumstances. It is a joy the world does not understand and would even call inappropriate. Speaker: Rod Brandt Your browser does not support the audio element.

Everlasting Loving-Kindness

By Fruit Of The Spirit, Kindness
God calls us to be kind to others. This doesn't mean kindness when we feel like it or when it's convenient. No, God calls us to be intentionally kind. This includes when we feel indifferent, when we're facing trials in life and even when we're confronted by hate. That sounds like an impossible standard to meet. However, through the Holy Spirit, God produces not only the ability but also the desire to be kind. Speaker: Rod Brandt Your browser does not support the audio element.

Peace That Surpasses Understanding

By Fruit Of The Spirit, Peace
The Bible says that we can have peace at all times, even in the most difficult trials, even in the worst of circumstances, even in the midst of heartbreak. The Apostle Paul calls this the "peace that surpasses understanding" and no matter what you're going through, it's available to you. Trust Jesus. Rest in his arms. Let his peace sustain you. He won't let you down! Speaker: Rod Brandt Your browser does not support the audio element.

Conformed To The Image Of Christ

By Bible Basics, Sanctification
There is more to salvation than receiving Jesus as Lord and Savior. We must also be sanctified. We must be conformed to the image of Christ. Sanctification is hard; the will and the flesh don't want to change. But while sanctification can be difficult, it is for our own good.

Walk Out Your Faith

By Bible Basics, Faith
Sometimes we worry that our faith isn't big enough, that we're not good enough, that God won't accept us. The truth is that Jesus will never abandon us, even when our faith is small. Even better, he will increase our faith, making us more and more like him every day! If you are finding it difficult to trust Jesus, this message is for you.

A Life Of Worship

By Bible Basics, Worship
Most Christians believe worship consists of singing songs. That is certainly part of it, but there is much, much more to worshiping God. True worship can be seen in what we do everyday, how we lead our lives. Speaker: Rod Brandt Your browser does not support the audio element.

Urgent Message To The Church

By Bible Basics, Salvation
Many, many people who call themselves Christians will have a horrific realization at The White Throne Judgment. They will hear the words, "Away from me, I never knew you." Jesus made it clear, time after time after time, that good people don't enter heaven. Redeemed people do. If you died today, would you spend eternity in heaven? Are you certain? What if you're wrong?
