First Peter 3:15-16 instructs us to always be ready to give an answer to everyone who asks us to give a reason for the hope that we have in Christ. Thus, evangelism is not a suggestion; it is our mandate. And in this day and age of skepticism and cynicism toward the gospel, we need to be well equipped to answer the various doubts and objections that people have. This teaching deals with three common objections to the Christian faith and provides ways to help people overcome their doubts.

AMDASSADORS: The Remnant pt. 3

Sunday Jul 23, 2023
Second Corinthians 5 tells us God is making His appeal to the world through you and me, that we are His ambassadors, and that we each have been given the ministry of reconciliation. It falls to each Christ follower, then, to be a person who is involved in God's search and rescue mission of the lost, just as each of us was once lost but were found with the help of someone else's efforts. While the subject of evangelism is uncomfortable for a lot of people, this teaching provides several tips that may help to make it less intimidating and more effective.

THE HAPPINESS PARADOX: The Remnant, pt. 2
Sunday Jul 16, 2023
Sunday Jul 16, 2023
The Bible teaches that the only way to find true life is to lay yours down and take up your cross to follow Christ. Therefore, happiness and fulfillment in life is a paradox. It doesn't come by seeking to get your own needs met and desires fulfilled all the time. This teaching explores the narrow way Jesus described in Matthew 7, and what it means to take up your cross to follow Him, and the glorious results of a life laid down.

THE REMNANT

Monday Jul 10, 2023
Did you know that that Romans 9:27 says that only a "remnant" of Israel will be saved? And unlike the popular idea that most people will make it to heaven, Jesus taught that the masses will go to their destruction on a broad road, while only a minority of people will be saved as they travel through a narrow gate. This teaching provides the characteristics of remnant people. And at the end of Pastor Andy's teaching, there are several people who give testimonies of what God has done for them through the ministry of BLF.

Brent Denney delivers a compelling follow up teaching in this final offering of his Behind Enemy Lines 2-part series. Among many important mindsets and strategies shared in his teaching, one of them is simply learning to accept a different mindset about our existence on this earth. Rather than pining for the "sweet by and by," Christ followers are called to engage in the spiritual battle that rages around us against the forces of darkness that threaten to swallow this world in evil. In doing so, we are commissioned to advance God's Kingdom and help snatch souls from everlasting punishment.

LEGACY BUILDERS: How Fathers can Shape the Next Generation
Sunday Jun 18, 2023
Sunday Jun 18, 2023
Billy Graham once said, "A good father is one of the most unsung, upraised, unnoticed, and yet one of the most valuable assets in our society." Yet good fathers seem to be few and far between these days, as statistics now show that 1 in 4 children are raised in fatherless homes. This teaching highlights the huge impact that fathers can have -- positive or negative -- and provides insights for both fathers and children: parenting insights for fathers, and honor insights for children of all ages. This is a MUST-hear teaching in this age of absent fathers and embittered children.

A NEW IDENTITY: In the Likeness of His Resurrection, pt. 9
Monday Jun 12, 2023
Monday Jun 12, 2023
SACRED COW ALERT! Did you know there's not a single scripture in the New Testament that refers to God's people as sinners? One reason why Christians continue to struggle with sin is because they identify more with being a sinner rather than a saint. Yet "saint" is how the Bible refers to God's people. And when we can develop an inner image of ourselves as saints, we will more often than not find our behavior following suit.

WHY HOLINESS: In the Likeness of His Resurrection, pt. 8
Monday Jun 05, 2023
Monday Jun 05, 2023
Any good parent will instruct their children and tell them WHY to not do this or that. God is the same way. He does say, "Be holy, for I am holy," but He doesn't leave it at that. He also gives us reasons why a life of holiness is a blessed life to help keep us on track and inspired.
