Melvin Gaines' Faith in Christ Podcast

Asst. Pastor Melvin GainesAkron Alliance Fellowship Church, Akron OHWorship Service Message (Live in Church)Sunday, June 21, 2026One of the most important messages that you will ever hear is the importance of recognizing Jesus as Lord of your life.  Well, today, I will share with you what I deem to be the second most important message that follows your relationship with Jesus, and that is what happens when you do accept Jesus.  A believer in Jesus is a changed person.  You're a changed person when you accept Jesus, and you will continue to change as a person in the aftermath.#Jesus #Christ #Lord #relationship #change #believer #accept #message #recognize #salvation #HolySpirit #mechanics

Asst. Pastor Melvin GainesWorship Service Message, Akron Alliance Fellowship Church, Akron OHSunday, March 15, 2026Who are we to be as difference-makers in a world of conflict and confusion?A follower of Jesus Christ must avoid defaulting to human wisdom.  The indwelling Holy Spirit is there to assure people that they have victory in Jesus.  In spite of whatever is going on, we are to lean on the Spirit and camp out at the feet of Jesus and go beyond our human reasoning.  We need to keep Him at the forefront and follow His lead. #WalterCronkite #wisdom #television #tv #revelation #Spirit #participate #power #opinion #overload #nature #news #mission #nation #Jesus #information #Huntley-Brinkley #humanwisdom #human #HolySpirit #good #Godspower #God #Genesis #flesh #fellowship #faith #eveningnews #encourage #distraction #default #Christianity #Christsmission #Christ #channel #care #Bible #24hours
