Blessed Life Fellowship

There are two questions that form the foundation of this teaching.  First, what if there was an element of God that is yet undiscovered by you?  Would you be willing to explore what it takes to experience that new element of God?  And secondly, what would you say God might want for Christmas from you this year?  Both these questions and more are addressed in this important Christmas teaching.  

The fruits of the spirit of kindness and gentleness and not quite as easily defined as the English might imply.  In the original Greek, these words mean far more than just being easy to get along with.  Find out more in this important teaching on the full Biblical expression of kindness and gentleness taken from Genesis 13 and the story of Abram and Lot.  It might make you reevaluate your life more deeply.  

King David demonstrated a quiet strength when he was being driven out of Jerusalem because of the overthrow of the kingdom by his son Absalom.  His patience and self-restraint in the face of a desperate situation provides the example for this teaching on the fruit of patience, and the various ways we can apply that in every day life.  

Joy and Peace are probably the only fruits of the spirit listed in Galatians 5:22 that don't have to be pursued because they are byproducts of pursuing the other seven.  Learn in this teaching how joy and peace can be achieved effortlessly as we seek to live out the other virtues of godliness.  

In this first Fruit of the Spirit listed in Galatians 5:22, we take a deep dive into the high stakes of living a life dedicated to our faith being expressed through the God kind of love.  In doing so, much emphasis is placed on maintaining the unity of the spirit through the bond of peace in our home and churches, and how not doing so can bring havoc into one's life.  The stakes are high, and the rewards sweet.  

This teaching is an introduction to the nine Fruits of the Spirit listed in Galatians 5:22.  It deals with differentiating godliness with holiness, and what those look like in practical terms.  This first introductory teaching lays the groundwork for the rest of the series by providing practical steps in learning to grow in godliness every day.  

In this post-election message, Pastor Andy addresses our marching orders for just such a time as this, and what we can do as Christians to make the most of this opportunity before us and advance the Kingdom forward in power with the proper attitudes, actions, and prayers.  

A study from Arizona Christian University recently suggested that 32 million regular churchgoers are likely to stay home this upcoming election.  However, as Christians we are called to advance God's Kingdom everywhere, even and perhaps especially in the world of politics.  This teaching examines that concept Biblically, but also from the perspective of American history.  And in doing so, we also examine a side-by-side comparison of the platforms of our two major political parties and size them up against biblical values.  After this teaching, you can no longer claim ignorance.  So go now and advance God's Kingdom in the earth!  

Guest speaker Bob Mortimer shares his testimony of God's faithfulness and living a life of purpose and joy even after having one arm and both legs amputated after a horrible accident in his early twenties.  Bob has led thousands of people to Christ in the last 40 years, having shared in jails, schools, and churches around the country.  You will see a different side of yourself and God after listening to Bob.  

This teaching addresses two very simple principles of happiness from the scriptures you can implement today -- one a mindset, and one a practice.
