Life Is Worth Living

On February 2, 2020, Pastor BJ delivered this message at Northside Church in Texarkana, TX. He shares about the trust factor of our faith. It's packed full of encouraging Scriptures and wisdom nuggets that you will be chewing on for days!! Enjoy and share it with a friend!

B. J. talks about times in which we stump our toe on our spiritual journey. But God always holds us up, and helps us to become sure footed.

When we humble ourselves under the mighty hand of God, then the problems that our hands have feebly tried to handle, will be placed in His mighty hand and we don't have to worry about it anymore.

“Being still” is not a passive procrastination, but a prayerful pause in the presence of God.

The subject of Jesus Christ returning to rapture His church and take us to heaven is a cardinal doctrine that's taught in the Bible. Do we still hold this doctrine as truth in our hearts? Are we living ready for His coming?

The Old Testament sacrifices were, ”dead sacrifices”, but New Testament believers offer their bodies as “living sacrifices.”

In this episode B. J. teaches that you are a Christian, not because you have friendship with Christians, but you are a Christian because you are in fellowship with Jesus.

Revival is not a repeat of that which is behind us, but a reach for that which is before us! Join us to as BJ shares his heart of revival for this generation!

In this episode, B. J. talks about how the devil tricked us into believing his lies, but Jesus showed up and treated us to a great salvation!

God’s mercy allows the blessings to continue in our lives even if we are living in sin. However, if we do not move on to faith/grace relationship the blessings will cease. BJ teaches from the story of Samson to show the importance of not taking mercy for granted.

Wisdom has it’s beginning in a correct understanding of the fear of the Lord. God wants to restore “the fear of the Lord” back to the Church and individual Christians.

Jesus is our Stronghold and He is is the place where we can resist all attacks from the devil! He is the fortress from which we command demons to pick up their weapons and flee.

Waiting in the presence of the Lord is not designed to be an isolation from the wickedness of the world, but a place where we are insulated with the holiness of God against contamination! Enabling us to be "in this world, but not of it" and we will not be "weary in well-doing"! Wait today and be endued with power for God!

The confession of faith is simply saying about ourselves what God says about us. Most of the time, we only confess the good things that God says about us. The conviction of the Holy Spirit not only approves us when we do right, but He is here to reprove us when we do wrong. Confession is good for your soul. James 5:16 says, "Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working."

There is a dark cloud of fear, mixed with anger, that is heavy with stormy and turbulent times over the earth today. How do we, as Christians, live in a very depressive, confusing and uncertain political climate? B.J. shares his perspective according to Scriptures in today's message, LIVING IN A TROUBLED WORLD.

The Bible doesn't just tell us, "Don't Worry!" it tells us that God has made provision for us to live a “worry-free “ life. Our Father gives us peace in the midst of the storms of life. Be encouraged today- YOUR LIFE IS WORTH LIVING!

In Today's episode, B. J. talks about how great the manifestations of the Power of the Holy Spirit has been in our past, but the promise of God is that there is an ever increasing demonstration of His power in our future that will be greater than the past. And he tells us “You Ain’t Seen Nothing Yet.”

B. J. tells us to not get tired of doing good, Don’t even think of throwing in the towel! His word for you is! Don't let your past victory be your last victory!

In this episode, B. J. tells us that un-forgiveness breeds resentment and a hateful attitude that gives our enemies power over us, making us the victim.

This week, B. J. teaches us how “love” is the connection with other people by which we communicate our faith to them when we pray for them.

What is commitment? How does a committed believer behave? In today's episode, BJ walks us through the difference of casual and committed! We cannot serve God at convenience, we can only serve God by commitment.

In this episode, B. J. tells us that The Holy Spirit is not a 911 emergency vehicle driver who only picks us up and drives us to the hospital. He is our personal driver who drives us on the road to heaven, and to all our successes in this life.

B. J. tells us that even God had set backs in His plan, but He came back from His setback! He knows how to bring you back from all the setbacks in your life. Listen & share!!

In this week's episode, BJ recounts Isaiah 60, "Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you." Don't sit in the shadows of the good ol' days, but bask in the sunshine of God's glory that has risen on you today!

Listen as BJ teaches on a word many do not understand in regards to faith. Patience is a necessary ingredient of faith. Through faith & patience we inherit the promises of God!

There is an emphasis in this episode on praising God in the night seasons of your life. In ACTS 16:25, Paul and Silas sang praises to God at midnight. We believe praise is the language of heaven! Hit play on this episode & be encouraged to LIVE IN THE PRAISE ZONE!

B.J. encourages us today to live a life worth living-to celebrate the goodness of God no matter what comes our way! Life is worth living simply because Jesus lives!!
