Blessed Life Fellowship

The amazing grace of God demands a response from those who have received it. This teaching helps us to understand what grace produces in us.  

Many Christians suffer from a wrong self-image, seeing themselves through the eyes of their failures and limitations rather than the eyes of grace.  The grace of God, fully understood and applied, makes us see ourselves differently, as overcomers rather than just "sinners saved by grace" with no power to overcome anything.  Let this teaching open your eyes to the new possibilities of truly living in the truth of you being a "new creature in Christ."  

Research shows that 82% of unchurched people would be willing to attend a church service if a friend asked them to go.  This recording is a 4-minute memo by Pastor Andy explaining why and how something as simple as inviting people to church is an important part of reaching the lost.

The core concept of this teaching is that no one can fully appreciate God's grace until they understand corruption, just as the cure to a disease has little relevance to someone who does not believe they have that disease.  This teaching, therefore, deals with mankind's corrupt nature, the punishment for willful rebellion against God, and the cure for the dilemma of mankind's sickness called sin.  

The extravagant grace of God has many expressions and results.  But there are some misconceptions about grace as well.  This teaching overturns a few sacred cows and explains what grace is and is not.  

The term "grace" is now so commonplace in Christian circles that in some respects it has lost its impact and full meaning.  While the common understanding of grace as "unmerited favor" is certainly true, there is much more to grace than this.  This teaching is an introduction to the deeper understanding of grace that will unfold throughout this series.  Prepare to marvel!  

In this final installment of the study of Psalm 23, the expanded definitions of "goodness and mercy" are examined in light of the Hebrew language in which it was written.  And God's goodness and favor toward His people are indeed extravagent.  He wants us blessed!  But many of God's people disqualify themselves from God's best either because they refuse to believe that He wants them blessed, or because they don't feel like they are worthy of it.  Both of those wrong mindsets are dealt with in this teaching on God's goodness and mercy.  

What does it mean in Psalm 23:5 when it says that God prepares a table before us in the presence of our enemies?  And what does it mean when it says that He anoints our heads with oil and our cup overflows?  To many, Psalm 23 has become simply a beautiful poetic sentiment that really has very little meaning in their lives in practical terms.  But this one verse is rich in meaning and promise for the true follower of Christ.  Prepare to get reinvigorated as you learn about your heritage and your anointing.  

This audio presentation by Pastor Andy Robbins is designed to give people who are searching for a home church an inside look at Blessed Life Fellowship of Columbus, Indiana.  It includes a short teaching on the importance of being planted in a church and how that benefits the lives of believers, and an easy way to evaluate whether a particular church is for you or not.  

In the Kingdom of God there is always something to learn and opportunities for growth in the "valley of the shadow death."  So God is asking us to stay faithful and constant even when we would rather recoil from uncomfortable situations and bail out.  This teaching focuses on the reasons why James 1:2-4 says to rejoice in trial.  Ultimately, God is is trying to make overcomers out of us, and we cannot be overcomers unless there is something to overcome!  You were made to walk through the various valleys in your life and come out on the other side victorious!
