Going Through Seasons - Dr. Stephen W. Christian
Filed under: change, faith, message, preaching, seasons, sermon
Dr. Stephen W. Christian shares the message, “Going Through Seasons” on Sunday, July 12, 2008.
There is a season for everything. A season for rain, sunshine, flood, drought. Everybody has their seasons. In this life you don’t get just one season or one kind of season. It will neither be sunshine all the time, nor rain all the time. By sunshine, I mean good days all the time. In this life everybody gets sunny, rainy, hot, and cold days, each at different times.
Ecclesiastes 3:1-11 (New Living Translation)
“1 There is a time for everything, a season for every activity under heaven. 2 A time to be born and a time to die. A time to plant and a time to harvest. 3 A time to kill and a time to heal. A time to tear down and a time to rebuild. 4 A time to cry and a time to laugh. A time to grieve and a time to dance. 5 A time to scatter stones and a time to gather stones. A time to embrace and a time to turn away. 6 A time to search and a time to lose. A time to keep and a time to throw away. 7 A time to tear and a time to mend. A time to be quiet and a time to speak up. 8 A time to love and a time to hate. A time for war and a time for peace. 9 What do people really get for all their hard work? 10 I have thought about this in connection with the various kinds of work God has given people to do.
11 God has made everything beautiful for its own time.”

In the Kalupto of God - Dr. Stephen W. Christian
Filed under: encouragement, faith, message, preaching, sermon
Dr. Stephen W. Christian shares the message, “In the Kalupto of God” on Sunday, June 29, 2008.
The essence of the Christian life is that we embrace the fact that what we currently see and experience is temporary. What I see is not the real me. The real me is on the inside, eternal, yet to be revealed. If we don’t grasp that fact, we will try to grab everything in this life and not look forward to our real life in Christ . That life consists of what we cannot see, what we see with our spiritual eyes.
Colossians 3:1-4
“Since you have been raised to new life with Christ, set your sights on the realities of heaven, where Christ sits at God’s right hand in the place of honor and power.
Let heaven fill your thoughts. Do not think only about things down here on earth.
For you died when Christ died, and your real life is hidden with Christ in God.
And when Christ, who is your real life, is revealed to the whole world, you will share in all his glory.”

Growing - Dr. Stephen W. Christian
Filed under: growth, message, preaching, sermon, strength, tribulation
Dr. Stephen W. Christian shares the message, “Growing” on Sunday, June 22, 2008.
The Apostles went around to many various churches confirming the souls of the disciples. The New Living Translation said that they strengthened the believers. We must continue in the faith. 2 Peter tells us that we need to grow in the grace. Continue in the faith and grow in the grace.
Acts 14:21-22
“After preaching the Good News in Derbe and making many disciples, Paul and Barnabas returned again to Lystra, Iconium, and Antioch of Pisidia, 22 where they strengthened the believers. They encouraged them to continue in the faith, reminding them that they must enter into the Kingdom of God through many tribulations.”
2 Timothy 3:1
“You should also know this, Timothy, that in the last days there will be very difficult times.”

What the Father Wants - Pastor Jerome Sims, Sr.
Filed under: father, jesus, message, obedience, preaching, sermon, submission
Pastor Jerome Sims, Sr. shares this moving Father’s Day message, “What the Father Wants” on Sunday, June 15, 2008.
The greatest gift a child can offer his father is submission and obedience. The greatest gift a father can give to his child is the example of a submissive and obedient life to our Heavenly Father. Therefore, the greatest gift we can offer to our Heavenly Father is our submission and obedience.
John 14:15-17
“If you love me, obey my commandments. 16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor, who will never leave you. 17 He is the Holy Spirit, who leads into all truth. The world at large cannot receive him, because it isn’t looking for him and doesn’t recognize him. But you do, because he lives with you now and later will be in you. “

What Do You Know About Jesus? Part 2 - Dr. Stephen W. Christian
Filed under: bible, jesus, message, preaching, sermon
Dr. Stephen W. Christian concludes the thought provoking message “What Do You Know About Jesus?” on Sunday, June 8, 2008.
In the Pentecostal church, we used to sing a song, “What do you know about Jesus? He’s alright!”
You need to know a little more about Jesus than “He’s alright.” To know Him is to love Him. The more you know Him, the more you can love Him. It’s hard to love someone that you do not know. We tend to be suspicious of people that we don’t know and the same applies for God. It’s human nature to be suspicious of what we don’t know or don’t understand.

Filed under: answers, hope, message, preaching, questions, sermon
Dr. Stephen W. Christian shares the encouraging message “The Question Is…” on Sunday, May 25, 2008.
A series of questions that will answer all of your questions.
Genesis 18:11-14
“11 And since Abraham and Sarah were both very old, and Sarah was long past the age of having children, 12 she laughed silently to herself. “How could a worn-out woman like me have a baby?” she thought. “And when my master — my husband — is also so old?” 13 Then the LORD said to Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh? Why did she say, ‘Can an old woman like me have a baby?’ 14 Is anything too hard for the LORD?”

Filed under: blessings, children, message, preaching, righteous, sermon
Dr. Stephen W. Christian shares the message “Blessed are the Children of the Righteous” on Sunday, May 19, 2008.
God has a blessing for the children and the future generations of those who chose to love Him — the righteous. The lives of our parents have affected our lives often in dramatic ways. Being righteous, how will you impact the future of your family?
Exodus 2:5-6
“5. You must never worship or bow down to them, for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God who will not share your affection with any other god! I do not leave unpunished the sins of those who hate me, but I punish the children for the sins of their parents to the third and fourth generations.
6. But I lavish my love on those who love me and obey my commands, even for a thousand generations.”

You are never too far, too low, too high, or too cold (hard) for God’s redeeming love to change your life.

“17. And I pray that Christ will be more and more at home in your hearts as you trust in him. May your roots go down deep into the soil of God’s marvelous love. 18. And may you have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love really is.”
