Seeking God's Plan For Our Lives In 2026

Seeking God's Plan For Our Lives In 2026
To know God's plan for our lives involves a combination of faith, seeking wisdom and knowledge through prayer, and studying God's Word and then it's just a matter of trusting God and moving toward the goal. Just knowing what God requires of us will never satisfy the human heart. God rewards obedience! Trusting God with our future doesn't mean we have to know every detail, it means acting on what He shows us on a daily basis, that's how Jesus taught us to live....give us this day our daily bread, it's more than enough! If you really want to know God's plan you have to prepare your heart to listen. God's speaks to those who listen. We have to come into His presence every day and be excited and expecting the Holy Spirit to lead, guide, direct and protect us in Jesus Name. If a Christian just has a casual attitude towards God's Word and His voice in their hearts, they must not expect to know much of God's plans. Is there any room for seeking God's plan and purpose in your heart for 2026? Let's move closer to God together and be amazed together as to what and who God will affect through us as His body!

What Kind Of Gifts Do You Have In Your Heart?

At this time of the year, millions of people are looking under Christmas trees to find their gifts, but Jesus is looking into our hearts to see if there's room to place His gifts into our lives! In order to receive anything from Jesus, we have to make room for Him. John 3:30 says - He must increase, but I must decrease. Today, we will see in the Scriptures the purpose of Him coming to this earth in the Spiritual realm and how He lived His life in the natural realm as a man. Matthew 6:21 says - Where your treasure is, there will be your heart also, meaning, your deepest desires, attention, and what you value the most, wether it's temporary, earthly riches which fade away or eternal, heavenly treasures which is God, righteousness, and love. Jesus lived the most selfless life anyone could ever live but our goal should be to live as close as possible to His example. This Christmas, I pry we would truly be happy to be on the giving side rather than the receiving side. Jesus is the Gift that keeps on giving!

Same Word, Different Hearts, Different Results

Same Word, Different Hearts, Different Results
John 3:16 - For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. Notice, there is "one world", "one Son". In John 1:1, there is only "The Word" and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. God alone is the life source of light, when the Light shines into a persons heart it exposes the truth, what we do with what we see determines our future. Out of all the people in the world, there are only two categories of people - saved or lost. Today I want to show you that everyone will hear the same Word and have the same opportunity to be saved and set free from life's prison of sin and a future from hell. God doesn't send people to hell, people's choices do. From Adam in the garden of Eden until now, man has a choice of free will. How deep in your heart will you let the Word - Jesus penetrate? The results will show in your life and most of all it will affect our eternal destiny! There are many people today who will hear the Word of God and there will also be many different responses. I pray that today we wouldn't be afraid or embarrassed to let the Word set us free!

Bro. David's Message

Thank you for joining us today. We hope you have a blessed Thanksgiving week!

Not By Might, Not By Power, But By My Spirit

Not By Might, Not By Power, But By My Spirit
 
        In Acts 1:4-5 the Lord commanded His disciples to go to Jerusalem and wait for the promise of the Holy Spirit. Verse 8 states that "when you receive the power then and only then will you be able to be true witnesses and overcome anything and anyone that would try to stop you". There are too many Christians today living in spiritual poverty, some know the Word but don't allow the Word and the Holy Spirit to come together. In Luke 4:18 Jesus said "The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me. God's Word and the Holy Spirit came together and produced spiritual results that no one could deny, that human strength could not have produced those results. Zechariah 4:6 says - This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel: Not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit says the Lord of hosts. This verse emphasizes that God's purposes are accomplished through His Spirit, not human strength or force. God wants us to always remember that His divine power through the Holy Spirit is the only way to success in living the christian life!

Our Appearance Matters

In the Bible, "countenance" primarily means face or facial expression, but can also refer to a person's character, appearance, or demeanor. In Biblical culture, the face was a reflection of the inner person. A transformed inner self is to be reflected in one's conduct and demeanor. Most of the time when you first see or meet someone you can tell by their facial expressions what kind of day they are having or how things are going at work, home, etc. Our appearance can easily influence how people respond to us. Our outward appearance is always affected by what's going on on the inside - always. John 12:24 says - Unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it will not produce fruit. The fruit is given in Galatians 5:22 - love, joy, peace, etc. Verse 25 says - If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Remember Christians, never underestimate the value or power of Christ's light shining in and through your life!
