Sermon – Christian Life Bible Church

God has a destiny for each and everyone of us.  One of the most important things to know is the WORD is the connection between your presence and your future.  Just as Jesus is the connection between Heaven and Earth.  If you want to reach your destiny, this teaching will let you know that you have the capacity to do so.  How?  By realizing that the Word of God is your key that unlocks God’s greatness in you and for you.  

According to Romans 6:14- Sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.  This scripture is referring to the new creation man-the man who has received Christ as his Savior. If sin doesn’t have dominion over you nor does Satan. Now it’s one thing to know this, but its a whole different ball game to live in this truth. If I can live in the light of this truth then I will understand and experience the victory that Christ has brought for me as a believer in Christ.

We are now in 2016! A new year, a fresh start! Allow Dr. Adam Richardson to show you the tools needed to have a sincere and steadfast relationship with God. Inside of this message Dr. Richardson teaches us how to strongly stand on the word of God when those challenging times come. He reminds us that no matter what happens, God’s word will remain the same! The word cannot and will not fail. It’s IMPOSSIBLE!

A Father’s Love. Based on your experience, does the thought of a Father’s love make you desire it more or does it make you abhorred to think about it?  Or, if you are a man (a father, uncle, friend), would you like to determine the best gauge to see how well you are doing?  Is your heart desiring to continue to be become better as a Father?  Mothers and friends, do you desire to assist the men in a loving and caring manner? This teaching is just for you. During the teaching, you will learn two powerful truths: If God said you can do it, you can as well as the master key to fathering God’s way. We encourage you to listen to the entire teaching as Dr. Ava share God’s wisdom on the impact of a father’s love.  Expect to learn and also laugh as you are empowered.  

Do you realize God wants to reveal to each and every of you what your spirt has known all the time? Do you realize that after God made the decision of what His children should be like, He followed it up by calling each of us by name and setting us on a solid basis with Himself by making Christ the first born of the new family? It’s time to be illuminated to the real Truth of God’s Word and heart toward you. Take a deep dive into this study as Dr. Ava Richardson reveals the revelation inside of Ephesians 1: 18.   It will be life-catapulting!                        

Do you believe in the Resurrection of Christ?   If we believe in the resurrection of Christ, the next thing to do is act.  Yes, after we truly believe, we must act for the power of the resurrection to work in us. Isn’t it good to hear the gospel and then to have a witness of  the reality of Jesus Christ?  When we believe and act on the truth that Jesus has risen from the dead, our lives are set on the path God has for it. Then, we will want to tell others about the opportunity to come into fellowship with the Lord Jesus Christ. What an experience!  What joy we get to witness what we have witnessed/experienced!   What joy to share the benefits we have received because of the resurrection of our Lord and Savior.  Allow this teaching to encourage you to not be silent.  May it stirred you to act, again.

On the inside, do you hear the calling of God to a deeper place?  Do you feel like you have been in the place in God too long?  During this teaching Dr. A.L. Richardson shares his testimony about these same feelings and how he moved forward. He states:  God will disturb your peace when it is time to move to get you on pace with where He wants you to go.  He had to realize there were 3 phases to view: 1) God’s grace 2) God’s love and 3)  the Communion of with the Holy Spirit. When we move to the 3rd phase of communing with the Holy Spirit, it is the place we learn more deeply how to live after the Spirit, to hear the voice of God, to pray more effectively, to walk in the power of God, to receive direction from the Spirit and much more! Join Dr. Richardson on his journey into the Deeper Place!  Are you Ready?

Do you truly realize that marriages are under attack, Christian and non-Christian marriages? Think about that.  This shows us that we must stand “watch” over our marriages.  Success in marriage is NOT an automatic.   Therefore, we must get an understanding, a godly understanding.  Understanding is defined as, “knowledge and comprehensive of original purpose and intent of a thing and the principles by which a thing was designed to function”.  To possess understanding of something, you must know its original intent.    We need to know: What was in the mind of the one who made it? How did the creator of the thing intend for it to function? When a family is under attack, the man is the first one under attack. The male becomes under attack by the enemy before he is a husband. Why? Because he is the head. He is the foundation.  If you destroy the foundation, nothing else is solid.  So, you must see the strategy of the enemy.  The attack is intensified once he takes the position of a husband. If a woman really wanted to help her husband, the first position to take is an intercessor.  Do less complaining and more praying. How has enemy […]

During this session, Dr. Adam and Dr. Ava, brought to the forefront some thought provoking questions, shared wisdom and encouraged prayer for marriage couples.   During this time, we must know that taking inventory is always a good thing to do. Some of the thought provoking questions were:  How is your relationship with Christ?  Do you both put regular effort in your relationship that promote success?  Do you support your spouse? Do you pay attention to your spouse’s needs? Do you pray for your spouse everyday?  Do you love your spouse? Do you pay more attention to your children’s need vs your spouse’s need? Couples, pay attention. Be on alert.  Do not allow your marriage to become a breached place.  We encourage you to listen intently to the full teaching. Dr. A.L. and Dr. Ava Richardson

It’s recorded in Genesis chapter 6, it is recorded that Noah found favor with God and He obeyed God. Noah was a giant. Because Noah believed and obeyed God, many considered him to be foolish.   We must understand that the gospel message is meant to be a message of deliverance not a message of discretion.  It comes to deliver us from our issues, not to teach us to be discreet us in our mess. As Christians, remember Noah, he and his family was saved.   There is a significance in the number one (1)!  If you are the only one in your family, do what God says!

According to 2 Corinthians 5:17, we are a new creation in Christ Jesus. After Adam’s fall, Gods’ intentions were to make us giants. It took God 6 days to make the first creation. It only took Him 3 days and 3 nights to establish new creations. Now for man to have a new birth, it only takes a few moments! Go on this journey of learning who you really are in Christ!

During this teaching Dr. Ava Richardson challenges the believers not to accept “normal”.  She quoted, “Normal is just a cycle on a washing machine.” We must understand that our natural abilities have limitation. BUT God is still working behind the scene! God always has something good for us! For instance, God says, I have some peace for you in the midst of it all. She reminds us that God says He has taken the devil’s power away -his power to harm you and has given you, the believer, the right to hope. This teaching is time relevant. Allow it to encourage your heart.

According to Genesis 1: 26-28, God created  man in His exact image and likeness. And, he gave man  dominion over His creation.  We can also see in the book of Genesis the fall of man. God so loved mankind that He restored everything Adam lost through His Son Jesus Christ.    2 Corinthians 5: 17  Darby translation reads:  “So if any one be in Christ, there is a new creation; the old things have passed away; behold all things have become new:” To identify with who God has made us and walk in that Truth, we must believe it by faith.  Our senses won’t bring us into that reality.  Why?  Because our soul was not born again.   We still look the same physically and therefore, it’s hard to understand with our intellect/senses that we are new creation beings.  But, we must believe the Word of God.  The Word says we are a new creation.  It is our spirit that is born again.  When we receive Jesus Christ, we now have the life and nature of God inside us. To understand this truth, we must believe it by faith.  We must operate in 3 faith principles: We believe and therefore, we speak.  (2 Corinthians 4: 13) We don’t  look  at the things that […]

Dr. Richardson expounds on the truth that becoming a doer of the Word is not automatic; but rather it is  progressive.   In this lesson, believers will learn the necessity of growing in the Word.  We have all had the salvation experience; but we are not to quit there.  We have had the “church” experience.  Now, it is time to have the “growth” experience. As believers, we must wholeheartedly understand that God has a plan for our lives.  To fulfill that plan, that assignment,  growth is mandatory.  Why? Because with growth comes transformation.  As you listen to this teaching in faith, Acts 20:32 will be performed in your lives.  Acts 20: 32  “And now brethren, I commend you to the word of grace which is able to build you up and give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified. “

Faith is the currency of the Kingdom.  If we want to purchase anything out of the Kingdom of God,  we must use faith as the currency.   During this teaching, Dr. Richardson expounds on the three laws of faith.  He elaborates that faith is a spiritual force and inside of faith is the power of God which reaches into the unseen world.   It brings what’s in the unseen world, into the physical world. There are 3 governing laws of faith: 1) One must speak what he believes. 2) One must be able to call those things that be not as though they were. 3) While we look not at the things that are seen. All these laws work together.  Therefore, to operate in faith effectively, we  must grow up and develop a certain mentality. We must become spiritually minded.  Living by faith is real! This spiritual insight will empower you to live victoriously.

Have you felt tired?  Like the pressure of life is getting to you?  During this teaching, Dr. Ava teaches us that God will take anything that you feel is dried up, messed up or no use and set it a fire so that He can use it to His glory!  So don’t give up or cave in!  God loves you and wants to set you a fire with His love and purpose!

Dr. Ava shares revelation taught by the Holy Spirit when she misplaced her ring.  Sometimes in life, we can sense that we are “holding on” or that we need to stop and spend time with God.  During special times, like our Times of Refreshing and Five Days of Glory, we must know that God is calling us so He can “polish up” those things that may have become dull. In God’s presence is the place we can be rejuvenated.  It is the time we recognize that “it ain’t over til it’s over!”  You recognize that God doesn’t throw you away.  If you are lost, know that He is coming after you with His Love.  If you are a wonderer, know that He is coming after you with His Love. If you have walked off from Him, know that He is standing waiting for you.   He is the Restorer of Lost Things!

Psalm 16: 11 Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore. During this teaching Dr. Ava teaches that God has prescribed an environment for everything He created, including His children. We were created to live in His presence. The principle of environment preserves, protects and assures the maximum performance of each created thing and being. Therefore, it’s imperative that we, as God’s children, understand the importance of the environment called Worship.

During the teaching Dr. Richardson speaks from the heart of the God.  He states: I believe the Holy Spirit wants the Body of Christ is live in consciousness of the power we have as Spirit filled believers.  According to Acts 1: 8 once the infilling of the Spirit takes place, we also receive power!  This power is Divine ability, efficiency and might which enables us to do all the things the scriptures proclaim. The infilling of the Holy Spirit is not something that is emphasized a lot in this day and time. But, have you ever noticed, you don’t see a lot of power?  You see and hear a lot of talk. But, you don’t see a lot of power being manifested.  It stands to reason why. The reason we are not seeing the power is because we are not acknowledging or emphasizing the infilling of the Holy Spirit. And, we who are filled, do not live in the awareness that we have power. Through this teaching, Dr. Richardson encourages all believers to live in the consciousness of the power of the Spirit.  It’s a new day for the church of the Lord Jesus Christ!

“Just have faith in God”, everything will be okay. This is a common saying today. But, has anyone actually explained, what it means to have faith in God. What it means to use your faith? Why do we need faith? Inside of this teaching, Dr. Adam L. Richardson brings light and understanding to the subject of faith. He explains why as believers in Christ, we are supposed have faith and how to build it up on a daily basis.

Dr. Pastor Adam Richardson begins with a new journey with us that maps out the directions of victorious living in Christ! Dr. Richardson begins by laying down a foundation through scripture, showing us, as believers in Christ we have the privilege and right to live a victorious and an abundant life! (John 10:10) Now there are no victories without battles. We know that there is an enemy out here trying to keep us away from this abundant life but because we have been delivered  from his kingdom and into the kingdom of God’s dear son we have a guarantee that we will every battle! (Colossians 1:3)

Sometimes we think that we have confidence and trust in God. There is nothing that will cause you to doubt Him. But when a difficult situation comes, you find yourself struggling.. Inside of this teaching, you will learn how to have strong confidence in the word of God. It all begins with fellowship. Transformation takes place as you spend time in the word. You will find that confidence is not of the mind but an issue of the heart. The more you spend time in the word, the Holy Spirit will help build your confidence!
