Ephesians Series: Ephesians 5:8c-The Command to Live One's Life as an Enlightened Child of God-Lesson # 329
Join Melissa for Lesson 1 as we encounter Jesus as Creator. Not only was there at the beginning of our world but He was a vital and strategic part of creation that continues to reveal God to men thousands of years later. Jesus is the Word, the Living Voice of God. When He came to earth to live, die, and be resurrected back to life, He had more than His journey to the cross in His Heart. He came to dwell among, and within the hearts of real people like you and me.
Join Melissa for Lesson 4 in this series on Real Growth in God. We have done the work to take what God has invested into us and we have protected it as it grew...NOW it is time to harvest the fruit of the move of God in our lives and take the seeds and plant a new harvest in others!
Once we have prepared the ground and sown seeds then we must protect what is growing and bring it to maturity. Join Melissa for Lesson 3 as we talk about watering, weeding, and protecting the spiritual fruit growing in our life so we have new seed to sow into others.
Real growth in God comes from receiving a consistent investment from God into our lives and then using it to bear fruit for God's glory. Join Melissa for Lesson 2 to learn how receiving the seeds of God's Word into our lives is not enough. We must use those seeds to GROW something that is of lasting and eternal value. The spiritual fruit that grows in our lives will also help us to sow seeds in other people too!
Real growth in God comes from receiving a consistent investment from God into our lives and then using it to bear fruit for God's glory. Join Melissa for Lesson 1 to learn how to prepare the ground in your life to receive those seeds in a way that will make them take root and bear spiritual fruit in your life.
Only a miracle of God could bring the rebuilding of the wall around Jerusalem to completion in just 52 days. Over the course of those mere months, God was rebuilding a people that had returned from exile and that also had returned to Him. Join Melissa as we look at how returning to God opens us up to rejoicing even as we look forward to a glorious future with Him!
Even as we begin to grow in God and achieve great things...Satan will want to stop our progress. We cannot simply ignore his attacks and hope that they go away. Instead, we must learn how to deal with opposition by strengthening ourselves in the Lord. Join Melissa as we look at the examples found in the book of Nehemiah to see how we can learn to overcome any attack meant to hinder us.
As Nehemiah and the Jews rebuilt the wall surrounding Jerusalem, they also rebuilt the gates used to enter the city. I believe that the order in which these gates were rebuilt also shows the rebuilding of its people as they returned to God. Join Melissa as we walk this same path to build (or re-build) a strong and successful Christian life where you can know and trust God like never before!
In just 52 days Nehemiah and the people of Israel rebuilt the wall and gates surrounding Jerusalem. More importantly, God used this natural challenge to draw a nation back to knowing and seeking Him. Join Melissa as we walk this same path to build (or re-build) a strong and successful Christian life where we know and trust God like never before!
The Fear of God stands as a foundational virtue in Christian ethics, appearing throughout Scripture as the beginning of wisdom and knowledge. Dave Rich examines this essential attribute in lesson 10 of his Christian ethics series, demonstrating how The Fear of God shapes believers' lives through faith, obedience, and trust.This biblical virtue appears in over 300 verses commanding believers to fear God while rejecting the fear of man or circumstances. The Fear of God leads to life, produces humility, and turns believers away from evil. Rich explores the profound connection between this virtue and anxiety, showing that worry reveals misplaced fear and denigrates God's providence.Therefore, believers must cultivate The Fear of God as the soul of wisdom, casting all anxiety on him who cares for them. This teaching illuminates how proper fear of God eliminates improper fear of everything else, grounding Christian living in eternal perspective rather than temporal concerns.Download Notes | Download Presentation ★ Support this podcast ★

Preaching The Truth The sermon presents a comprehensive theological framework centered on seven universal witnesses through which God draws all people to Himself, emphasizing that divine revelation extends beyond human effort. These witnesses—creation, the human conscience, Christ, the Holy Spirit, the church, the Bible, and the Christian—demonstrate God's persistent, multifaceted outreach to humanity, each targeted by Satan's deceptive strategies such as evolution, moral relativism, false religions, spiritual apathy, doctrinal corruption, textual distortion, and internal church division. The preacher underscores that while God does not rely solely on human agency, believers are called to actively participate in His mission by preserving doctrinal purity, resisting worldly distractions, and living as authentic, Spirit-filled witnesses. The tone is both pastoral and urgent, calling the congregation to vigilance, unity, and faithful stewardship of God's revealed truth in a world actively opposed to it.

Preaching The Truth The sermon presents a comprehensive call to Christian witness, framing believers as the seventh and final witness among seven divine instruments—creation, conscience, Christ, the Holy Spirit, the church, the Bible, and the individual Christian—each playing a role in God's redemptive work. Emphasizing that every believer is commanded to be a witness, the message underscores the dual vision of local and global outreach, rooted in Jesus' promise of power through the Holy Spirit and the Great Commission. It calls for holistic evangelism through four practical means: living a life of integrity and holiness, speaking the gospel with boldness, distributing biblical literature, and supporting missionaries as luminaries who illuminate the world. The tone is both urgent and hopeful, convicting believers of their responsibility while assuring them of divine partnership, and it challenges the congregation to move beyond passive faith into active, Spirit-empowered mission, knowing that God is already at work through creation, conscience, and the Spirit before any human effort begins.

Preaching The Truth The sermon emphasizes the importance of God's witnesses, particularly in reaching those who have never heard the gospel. Drawing on Isaiah 59:21 and recent events like the Charlie Kirk funeral, the message highlights creation, conscience, Christ, the Holy Spirit, churches, and the Bible as universal avenues of divine communication. It underscores the significance of planting churches in every town and nation, recognizing them as vital candlesticks for spreading the message, and champions the King James Bible as a uniquely preserved and powerful witness, urging continued support for Bible translation and proactive efforts to share God's word with the world.
Wednesday PM Service The sermon emphasizes the church's vital role as a witness for God, building upon the preceding exploration of creation, conscience, Christ, and the Holy Spirit as universal witnesses.

The message underscores the church's significance as a candlestick, radiating light and requiring diligent care and ownership to prevent decline, ultimately calling for a renewed commitment to expanding God's presence in communities through vibrant, thriving local congregations.
Growing in God - Lesson 16 - Pastor Mitchell Bland
The sermon explores the concept of universal witnesses to God, arguing that creation, conscience, Christ, and the Holy Spirit provide undeniable evidence of divine presence accessible to all people. Drawing from Scripture, particularly Romans and John, the message emphasizes that creation reveals God's power, conscience convicts of sin, Christ embodies righteousness, and the Holy Spirit testifies to the need for salvation. The preacher underscores the importance of personal responsibility in responding to these witnesses, highlighting the Holy Spirit's role in guiding believers and convicting the lost, ultimately urging listeners to embrace the opportunity for faith and salvation offered through Christ.
The sermon emphasizes that God actively witnesses to humanity through four universal avenues: creation, conscience, Christ, and the divine spark, demonstrating a proactive divine engagement that precedes and informs human evangelism. Drawing on Scripture, particularly John 1 and Revelation 19, the message highlights Christ as the light that illuminates all people, prompting reflection on the inherent attractiveness of the gospel and encouraging believers to share this light with confidence, knowing God has already been working in the lives of those they seek to reach. The speaker underscores the importance of recognizing God's ongoing work and participating in His mission to draw all people to Himself, ultimately resulting in a multitude that no one can number.
