Encourager Church Sermon of the Week

Join us for our Annual Christmas Celebration Service: Light of the World. A beautiful reminder of the reason for the season. Jesus is the light, and we are to be the light of our city!

This is a powerful word from Pastor Fernando asking two questions: Does God see what you see today? Do we see what we see from His point of view? God chose this season for us and we need to understand that a season of darkness opens the way to a promise or a new beginning. "Our HOPE is in what He can do in the midst of things." We must use our weapons: prayer, love, discernment, and soberness of spirit. It is easy to let our problems intoxicate and confuse us, but we know that God can bring chaos into order. We must be ready and see things as He does.

Pastor Fernando brings a timely word: External Pressures. Using Biblical examples, we learn that we must awaken and be ready to work with God. We can't allow our circumstances to reframe our encounters with God. Jesus is ruling and reigning in the middle of our conflicts, wherever we find ourselves. God can make things change, but he needs us to engage.

Pastor Fernando speaks of examples from the Bible with his topic: They Misjudged the Journey. God doesn't want us to misjudge our journey in life, and He wants to set in order where things are out of place. He will sustain us in whatever difficulty we find ourselves in with worship, healing, mercy, and provision. Learn three things that will prepare us to become aware of when God is moving in our lives and be ready to flow with Him.

Session 12: A Spiritual Water Supply: The Persecution of the Saints. A teaching by the late Pastor Bob Phillips.

Pastor Fernando brought a thought-provoking message about our minds and affections. We must learn to keep our mindset focused on what God is doing. We are here for a purpose, and we must not let distractions around us keep us from this purpose. It is never too late, and age does not stop it. Set your mindset toward the finish line.

In this week's Sermon, Pastor Fernando gives a powerful word: The Church - His Glory On Earth. The Church is here to manifest this Glory. We must ask ourselves: Do we see God as the God of fire in Exodus who is in control, or do we see ourselves as lost to the enemy's plans with a God who loves us? Which God DO we serve?

Session 7 - Men's Bible Study - "Spiritual Water Supply 2: The Comfort of the Mourner" - (By The Late Pastor Bob Phillips) This teaching was done by our late pastor Bob Phillips.

Pastor Fernando continues His series: The Church-His Glory on Earth with Part 2. Sometimes God's answer to 'our promise' is different from what we expected. In Acts, we see a time when the disciples thought all was lost, but what came with the Holy Spirit was powerful. The church became devoted to prayer, the Word, and fellowship with each other... it was life-changing. God offers us this same way to change our life and the world.

It is time to renounce fear in our lives and be filled with His Holy Spirit.

Men's Bible Study - Session 4: Dealing with the Root of Pride - (By The Late Pastor Bob Phillips) This teaching was done by our late pastor Bob Phillips.

Pastor Fernando brings an excellent and timely word about our spiritual ears and the perspective they bring in the difficult seasons. The enemy wants us to give up on the future, and so he surrounds us with noise to try and stop us from hearing what God is saying. When we only focus on ourselves, we can forget the importance of contending for the next generation. It is time to sharpen our hearing so that our spiritual eyes and perspective are ready.

Men's Bible Study - Session 3: Dealing with the Root of Pride - (By The Late Pastor Bob Phillips) This teaching was done by our late pastor Bob Phillips.

Pastor Abe's sermon gives us all something to consider. Using the story of Moses and the burning bush as his illustration, he talked of being willing to step out for God's calling even if we are afraid or feeling inadequate for the job. We could be the only 'Jesus' some people see. We must stop being fearful of what can go wrong and be excited about what can go right, knowing if God calls us to do something, he will be with us as we go.

Pastor Fernando gives such an insightful word: The Battle for the Seed. The Devil has worked to destroy the seed of the future, and the battle we face began in Genesis, but we can partner with Heaven to win. The enemy will use our circumstances to wear us down, but you will learn the three tools needed to win the battle. God always has a better plan, even when all seems lost.

Guest Speaker, Juan Carlos Manzewitsch, brings a powerful word. Although the times seem chaotic, we need to speak JESUS to the problems around us. He is the divine glue that holds everything together. Our commission is to go out into the world and share Jesus, and we need to carry the light of God with us.

Pastor Fernando shared a timely yet important word about not remaining silent. As Christians, we carry God's seed in us, and the enemy desires to get rid of it by bringing confusion, thus causing us to miss our identity and future. It is time to stand and believe in the promises; as we make it possible for the next generation to have a better world. "We are more than conquerors!"

Pastor Abe gave this week's sermon and some beautiful testimonies from Youth Camp. Using Joseph as his example, Abe speaks about the lost dreams and destinies in our lives. He gives three points to consider as we move into picking up those dreams again and embracing our God-given destiny.

Pastor Fernando speaks on: Breakthrough In Times of Crisis. Using biblical examples, he shows we must stay anchored in hope, keeping a steady prayer life to find this breakthrough. The enemy is always looking for ways to distract us from our prayers, so be diligent to pray, stand firm with hope in Him, and He will answer in His time, and it will be worth the wait.

Pastor Johnny brought a powerful word on freedom on Sunday. We know Jesus went to the cross to bring us freedom and redemption, but is it possible we are not living freely in all areas of our lives. Learn the signs and effects of fear to enable you to deal with the issues holding you back from the places God wants to take you in your walk with him. He is the game-changer and wants us to bring Heaven to earth for ourselves and others.

Pastor Fernando concludes his series on Mental Fitness with Mindset of a Warrior. We are all in a war between good and evil whether we show up or not.

Encourager Church 4th of July Celebration program and sermon from Pastor Fernando on the Biblical World View of Freedom.

Pastor Benjamin brings a word for everyone: The Garden and Our Inheritance. We can be victims of our lot in life; or take care of all God has provided, living in peace with provision and purpose. There is a garden, a place to live, work, and be part of a family; because you have an inheritance in the Kingdom of God.

Pastor Fernando's, sermon of the week: Mindset to serve; gives everyone something to consider. Our identity is to be the sons and daughters of the King, but our assignment is to be a servant. It is time to go after the lost, those in need, and bring the Kingdom to our culture. Our significance can come from relating to and leading people to Jesus, and doing something for others opens the door for the supernatural.

Pastor Fernando continues his series on Mental Fitness with a powerful word about Touching the Untouchable. Using the story of Achan in Joshua he shows how touching things that are cursed can bring defeat in our lives. We must be quick to find those attitudes and actions in our lives, and quickly repent and make changes thus allowing us to possess our inheritance. It is in our wilderness experiences, that God can bring hope and open the doors to miracles.

Pastor Fernando continues his series on Mental Fitness with The Right Mindset for Transition. We need to let go of the past and the familiar ways God moved; to embrace the future and the new season. God is doing a brand new thing as we enter the enemy's land without fear: but with His government and vision.

Pastor Fernando continues his series: the Mindset for the Season with Faith Over Fear. Whatever comes our way, we must confess and meditate on the word and promises, for if we don't, our minds go back to the disappointments and problems from the past. God has given us the tools we need, but our mindset and lack of belief stop the answers. We have to believe God's report over our fears! It is time to see yourself as God does and KNOW what He can do.

Pastor Fernando starts a powerful new series: Mental Fitness during our Journey. It is vital to focus on the Promise and not the problem we see, and in this series, you will learn of some helpful tools you can use along with personal issues that become entry gates for the enemy in our lives. God desires for us to become influencers for our culture, and if we fight for mental fitness for the future, God will go before us and defeat the giants in our life.

Pastor Benjamin's sermon speaks about the five keys we have that will lead us to victory in our lives while allowing us to fulfill the mission God has given us. The Christian life is about warfare, but it's also about winning. Listen to God, believe He has a solution, and never give up.

Pastor Abe brings a timely word about the remnant. If you have been feeling alone, isolated, or lost in the current times...know that you are here for God's Purpose. Learn the 4 points to finding your purpose and your place in God's plan for you. Finding this place is life-changing.

Pastor Fernando's Easter sermon comes from the thief on the cross who asked Jesus to remember him. No matter what circumstance you find yourself in today, you can call out to Jesus and celebrate life because of what he did for us on the cross. What is your remember me?

Pastor Fernando concludes his series in Revelation with a powerful sermon: From the Garden to Paradise. We must learn to think from the future and not allow our past or present circumstances to cloud our vision of Heaven on earth. God has already provided everything we need if we don't allow disappointment to create defeat. Be encouraged---we overcome!

Pastor Fernando gives a timely word speaking about the lies and deceptions that the enemy brings to try and derail us from our mission. God wants us to live a victorious life free from these deceptions, and He has provided us with three powerful spiritual weapons to help us daily.

Pastor Fernando brings us a powerful teaching from Revelation, about two women and their effects on the church. The first brings bondage; the other brings freedom and a relationship with the Father. We can't allow the conflict around us to influence us. We must stay focused on Heaven's view and stand for the next generations.

Pastor Fernando continues his study in Revelation explaining the seven bowls. The way we look at the future has a lot to do with how we see the present day. Even when everything around us is turbulent, we can have hope instead of fear as we look to Him. We must stay focused on what God is doing.

Pastor Fernando continues his teaching: The War On The Saints with Part 2. The scriptures give us a picture of the future, and then we need to look to God for wisdom in our current situation. It is not a time to be afraid, but block out the noise while staying tuned in to our Heavenly Father.

Pastor Angie encourages us to choose life each day as we take time to focus on what God is doing rather than what is going on around us. We determine our path each day in our thoughts, our words, and our actions. We must set our minds on things above and set boundaries to keep lies and negative thoughts out. What we think may not change our circumstances, but we can adjust our attitude when we CHOOSE LIFE!

Pastor Fernando continues the study in Revelation: The War of the Saints. We need to find our place and time in history; so that we know what to do in the battle. We must refocus our hearts and attention to God's voice in the hour.

Pastor Johnny gives an excellent word: The Mind, showing why a renewed mind is critical. Three things lead to healthy thought patterns that will stop destructive thinking and bring victorious living. Our experiences will never limit God; they show us who He is and what He can do.
