Pastor Bryan brings a special message on our Ten Year Anniversary from John 10:10 (where Life Chapel got it's name) about the difference between the plans of the thief for your life and the full life Jesus offers.

In this River of Life Chapel message I teach from 2 Timothy 1:8-12. In this passage Paul encourages Timothy to not be ashamed of the Gospel, to proclaim truth faithfully, and suffer well should persecution come. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/roguechristian/support

Ps Zoran Paunovich, author of "In Your Dreams" is globally recognised and known for his giftings in Prohetic Dreams and Dream Interpretation. At the end of 2021, Pastor Zoran received one such dream in a clear and concise message relating to the church. Listen as he shares the detail of this dream and the prophetic message behind it and how this impacts every person believing in Christ.

When all seems lost, destroyed and with no hope of restoration, remember that your story isn't over because you think it is. God holds the pen to your story and it isn't over until God says it's over. Ps Phil Kennedy opens up a prophetic word out of the book of Judges and explores how sometimes the story can seem like its over when your only halfway through it.

Listen as Dr Clayton Coombs uses scripture to divulge and explain just how worthy and important you are to God. Be ready to ask more from God and go deeper into your relationship with Him than ever before.

Have you ever been pushed down or feel held back because of where you have been in life or the situation you are in? Often people will look at places and people who they feel have no worth and say that no good will ever come of them. Listen as Zoran Paunovich speaks a powerful message of hope and encouragement about what good CAN come out of these dark, desolate and trying places by the light of Jesus.

Praise and Worship are not just songs you sing on a Sunday at Church. It is the position we live our lives each and every day.  Natt Cross brings a Spirit filled word on how we can bring better praise and worship to God into our everyday life and exalt Jesus over everything.

Ps Daniel Lauridsen gives a powerful message showing us how the way we praise and worship God is a direct reflection of who we are declaring in that time in our lives that God is to us. Yet God is unchanging and we actually start our lives in the already revealed story of who God is. Listen in as Ps Daniel shows us how to bring fruitful praise and worship to declaring the greatness of God in our lives everyday.

New school years typically include conversations about the vision to help set us up for the year to come and keep us on target. During this conversation with Dr. Cody and Roy, we chat about student life, chapel vision, and a whole lot of other things. Listen as we introduce Roy, the newest member of the student life team.

BOLD CONVICTIONSSunday, November 1, 2020Daniel prophecies about the age in which we live and talks about how the enemy will wear out the saints. That refers to persecution, or a chiseling away, until they surrender. How should we live in this present world?Daniel 3:16-18Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego had a conviction about worship and refused to surrender to the pressure to worship anyone or anything other than the one true God.Daniel 6:10 Daniel had a conviction about prayer. It wasn’t a small thing, it was a big deal. He had a place. He had a time. He had a routine. Daniel 6:10The word “conviction” is a bit of an archaic word. We now have words like tolerance, compromise, and cultural norms, so let’s clarify - What is a conviction?Guardrails - They keep us aware of the danger.Identity - They keep us remind of who we are. Strength - They give us courage to stand in the face of sin and evil. Roots - They hold you steady in the face of the adversity. Ephesians 4:11-15 The duty of the five-fold ministry team here at Life Chapel is to equip you so that you can build up and maintain convictions (understand what you believe and why).What do I need to do to develop and maintain bold convictions? In Acts 4 we find a few key elements of HOW we develop boldness:Acts 4:8 - Be filled with the Holy SpiritActs 4:13 - Spend time with Jesus and you will see and hearActs 4:19 - Walk in radical obedience to the voice of the LordActs 4:29 - Declare your boldnessActs 4:31 - Pray

APOCALYPSE NOW? THE COMPETING SPIRITSSUNDAY, AUGUST 16, 2020We know which spirit will win in the end, but which spirit will win the battle in your life?2 Corinthians 10:3-5This is no time to get nervous or scared, but we must submit to the right the Spirit.Both the book of Proverbs and the book of Revelation present to the reader a choice between two women. Proverbs 2:16-18Proverbs 31:10-12This is more than wisdom to marry right and a statement against sexual immorality. The two women represent two spirits.Proverbs 4:5-9In apocalyptic imagery, a woman is often a symbol for a spiritual body.Revelation 17:3-6Revelation 19:6-8Galatians 5:19-21 - Works of flesh. Galatians 5:22-23 - Fruit and gifts of spirit.What should our response be to the world in which we live?Revelation 22:17ANNOUNCEMENTSWe’re excited to announce that Kids Chapel and Young Chapel will be resuming Sunday morning classes on August 23rd during our 10:45AM gathering only.

APOCALYSPE NOW? EAT THE BOOKSunday, August 2, 2020We have a record of Satan manifesting in some kind of physical form only twice in the Bible:1. When he spoke to Eve in the Garden of Eden.2. When he tempted Jesus during his 40 days on the mountain.In both records Satan was attacking or questioning the Word of God.Revelation 10:1-2Revelation 10:8-11Obedience = SweetnessDisobedience = BitternessEzekiel 3:3Romans 10:17Hebrews 4:12 The Bible contains the mind of God, the state of man, the way of salvation, the doom of sinners, and the happiness of believers. Its doctrines are holy, its precepts are binding, its histories are true and its decisions are immutable.Read it to the wise; believe it to be safe and to be holy. It contains the light to direct you, food to support you, and comfort to cheer you.It is the traveler’s map, the pilgrim’s staff, the pilot’s compass, the soldier’s sword and the Christian’s charter. Here too, Heaven is opened and the gates of hell are disclosed.Christ is the grand subject, our good design, and the glory of God is its end. It should fill the memory, rule the heart, and guide the feet. Read it slowly, frequently, and prayerfully. It is a mine of wealth, a paradise of glory and a river of pleasure.ANNOUNCEMENTS Back to School Palooza – Our Back to School Palooza has been cancelled.SERVE Rally – Let’s reconnect!

HEALED SERIES: ANXIETYSUNDAY, MARCH 7, 2020Anxiety: A feeling of worry, nervousness, or unease; typically about an imminent event or something with an uncertain outcome.Excessive uneasiness and apprehension can become a disorder, and can be accompanied by compulsive behavior or panic attacks.The Scripture boldly instructs us, “Take every thought captive!” A few scientific facts:1. 60-80 percent of visits to primary care physicians have a stress-related component.2. 75-98 percent of mental, physical, and behavioral illnesses stem from one’s thought life.3. We have learned more about the brain in the last 20 years than in all of history combined.4. All toxic lifestyle habits and crimes stem from a toxic thought. Both God and the Devil operate on the level of thought.The interrupting thought to an out of control mental spiral is CHOICE.Romans 8:5 - To set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace!FAITH displaces the lie that we are not able to be free from anxiety.The FAITH language disrupts the language of the LIE. Many times we try to fight a “feeling” with a “feeling”. To fight anxiety we must realize FAITH is not a feeling, it is a thought life. We can fight a thought on the level of thought.The reason we are fruitless in overcoming anxiety is because the cares of life Jesus talked about in Matthew, rise up and choke out the Word of God that carries the promise of freedom.Anxiety is not bigger than GOD!Community Group Questions:1. Have you ever been anxious about something that had a funny ending?2. What are ways to take every thought captive?3.

Living with passion is a choice and a decision, not a personality type. There is so much power in the home. As Pastor Smith puts it, “Home is an atmosphere created by your presence.” Your very presence can create a climate where dreams are birthed and purpose is fostered. Your dinner table is the most magical piece of furniture you will ever buy. Luke 24:32- Emmaus Road Experience Anhedonia - The lack of ability to feel good things. The power of the warm heart is the answer to anhedonia. Acts 28:30 The power of a warm heart is a world turned upside down by the gospel of Jesus Christ The POWER OF A WARM HEART is all that is needed to change the world that we live in. Visit TheFamilyDinnerProject.org for scientific results on having family dinners. Community Group Questions:1. Do you have a special childhood memory of being in a home (grandparents, parents, friends, etc.) that made your heart feel warm during the holidays?2. Discuss Acts 28:30 3. What do you commit to do during this holiday season to make your home feel “warmed” by the presence of God? ANNOUNCEMENTSHoliday Family Pictures- This holiday season, Brooke Perry is taking family Christmas pictures in the front foyer as a fundraiser for Life Chapel. The cost will be $30 and includes 5 edited pictures. You can sign up in the foyer in front of the Christmas Photo Wall for the day you would like your family picture to be taken.

This episode is from the Chapel service, at the River Of Life Rescue Mission in Boise, that I had the pleasure of leading. Many of the men, myself included, struggle with not feeling God or that God is angry with us. But the truth is that it isn't God is leaving us but it is us leaving Him for sinful desires. We must endure in our faith and continually follow Jesus. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/JeffMesker/support

Satan knows if he can hinder your prayer life, he has a greater chance of leading you to believe another lie, and farther away from God. John 8:44- …He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him… Prayer should come from the mind and the mouth! Luke 8:40-43- Prayer is communication. Luke 8:44-48- The beauty of the immediate. Luke 8:49- Don’t bother Jesus. Luke 8:50-53- Jesus walks past the doubt, fear, unbelief, and confusion, right into the middle of your problem. Luke 8:54a- If you’ll stick with Jesus, you start ejecting people and things from your life that are standing in the way of your miracle. Luke 8:54b-55- Your waiting gave you an immediately.ANNOUNCEMENTSGraduates -If you are graduating from high school or college in the next couple of months, we would like to honor you on June 2nd.

His Words Abide Forever 2 – Spirit and Life Isaiah 66:1  “Thus saith Jehovah, Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool: what manner of house will ye build unto me? and what place shall be my rest?”  For a long period of time the Lord dealt with my heart in Isaiah 66:1. These words rolled over and over within my heart and mind, “Heaven is my throne and the earth is my footstool.”  In the Old Covenant God was enthroned between the cherubim above the Mercy Seat, according to the scriptures of Isaiah, Ezekiel, and Psalms.  God’s throne, rule, or government was through the law of Moses.  He executed that law within the natural Israel.  Israel was ruled by the law of Moses, and the Blood of animals.  For a moment let’s consider this throne, rule, and dominion as God’s Heaven.  God’s throne, rule, and dominion was in Israel.  To advance this further let’s consider that God dwelled in the Tabernacle of Moses, and later in the Temple that Solomon built.  The scripture also teaches us that Heaven is God’s dwelling place.  In the Old Covenant God dwelled in Old Israel in the Temple.  If the Temple was God’s dwelling place would it not make sense that it was Heaven or a Heaven, as God was there.  With that thought in mind. The Temple was in Jerusalem.  So,, we could also consider that Jerusalem could represent the earth.  Heaven is my throne – the temple.  The earth is my footstool – Jerusalem. Now as recorded in Matthew 24:35, Jesus declared Heaven and earth would pass away. Most of us apply that to the natural earth.  Let’s consider that he was speaking of the Old Testament Covenant and Temple, and all that it pertained to.  When he died at the cross the Old was over.  Jesus was its fulfillment, completion, and end.  Now with that said, the second part of Matthew 24 is, “but my words shall not pass away.”   This is a powerful statement.  Consider that the words Jesus spoke went into force.  What do I mean by this?  Over and over Jesus said “He that believes on Him would be saved.”  He declared that those that believe would be one in John 17.  Much of Paul’s epistles is given to the oneness of the believers in and with Christ.  These are the words that are in force.  No longer do we come to God through an Old Covenant or even the words of the Old Covenant, but we come through Christ, Him and His Words.  John 17:23 “I in them, thou, in me, that they may be made perfect in One!”  What a thought.  The Old Covenant could never bring this forth.  It was hidden in there.  It was written as testimony to Christ, but the reality was only brought forth in Him.  The law, the prophets, the scriptures all testified of Him.  He was the prophet Moses declared that would speak God’s word.  He was the Redeemer Isaiah declared that would come to Zion.  All testified of Him – the Law and the prophets were His testimony. In the Book of Revelation Chapter John saw a lamb that had been slain, standing in the midst of the throne.  Remember Heaven is my throne.  This throne that John saw had a slain lamb.  The rule of this Government is the slain lamb that is risen from the dead.  John saw Him, JESUS, standing, having the seven spirits of God (God’s fullness).  All execution of Government had come to Him, and is administered through Him. Revelation 5:6  “And I saw in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, a Lamb standing, as though it had been slain, having seven horns, and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God, sent forth into all the earth.”  This is the throne, or Heaven we approach.  We are ruled and governed through the slain Lamb and His resurrection. This is the New Government.  This is the New Covenant.  This is a New Heaven and a New Earth, where there is righteousness!  We are made the righteousness of Him.  We are now the place of His feet, not real estate in the middle east but a people in whom He dwells!  Glory to God in the Highest!!!!

Part 5 of "Exodus: A Slow March To Freedom"Exodus 6:99 Moses spoke thus to the people of Israel, but they did not listen to Moses, because of their broken spirit and harsh slavery. Exodus 7:10-1310 So Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and did just as the Lord commanded. Aaron cast down his staff before Pharaoh and his servants, and it became a serpent. 11 Then Pharaoh summoned the wise men and the sorcerers, and they, the magicians of Egypt, also did the same by their secret arts. 12 For each man cast down his staff, and they became serpents. But Aaron's staff swallowed up their staffs. 13 Still Pharaoh's heart was hardened, and he would not listen to them, as the Lord had said. The 10 plagues.1. Water turned to Blood2. Frogs3. Lice or gnats4. Flies5. Livestock6. Boils7. Hail8. Locust9. Darkness10. Death of the Firstborn Exodus 121: Passover marks the beginning.2: Passover Meal (A sacrificed spotless lamb, bitter herbs, and unleavened bread)3: Blood On The Doorposts.4: Dressed and ready to go. John 1:2929 The next day he saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world! Luke 22:1919 And he took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” Matthew 9:57-6257 As they were going along the road, someone said to him, “I will follow you wherever you go.” 58 And Jesus said to him, “Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head.” 59 To another he said, “Follow me.” But he said, “Lord, let me first go and bury my father.” 60 And Jesus said to him, “Leave the dead to bury their own dead. But as for you, go and proclaim the kingdom of God.” 61 Yet another said, “I will follow you, Lord, but let me first say farewell to those at my home.” 62 Jesus said to him, “No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God.”
