VICTORY OVER FEAR!

LIVING IN THE TRUTH!

FACING LIFE

Psalm 34

A STUDY FROM TITUS!

Weekly Sermon by Pastor Shane Breaking Free Series April 14, 2024

CAUTION! I’ve been studying through First and Second Kings in the Bible. It’s amazing to me of all the kings that did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord. It still seems today that many haven’t learned from the biblical history the cautions of what has happened for wrongdoing without repentance.…

RESTORATION! I have to admit that I don’t watch that much television, but I do enjoy tuning into HGTV and watching some of the shows where they restore old houses that are basically falling apart. It’s amazing the before and after pictures after one of those homes have been restored. It reminds me that sometimes people even need a restoration in th…

ABSOLUTE TRUTH! There is nothing in this world that irritates me more than anything than theft or someone being untruthful. I’ve seen my fair share of untruths in this life and it is so disheartened because I see it among so many who claim to be believers. We know untruths as lies, falsehoods, fib, fabrications, deception, premeditation, made up st…

THE LORD BLESS YOU AND KEEP YOU! When I was in Israel, I purchased a silver ring with Numbers chapter 6:24 inscribed on it. Sometimes I will wear this ring in place of my wedding band. This verse says, “The Lord bless thee, and keep thee:” If you read on, it says that he is gracious to us and His countenance is upon you, and He gives you peace. The…

READY, SET GO! Jesus said in Matthew 10:24-26, 24 The disciple is not above his master, nor the servant above his lord. 25 It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more shall they call them of his household? 26 Fear them not therefore: for th…

PLASTIC! The reality is that someone is either a genuine Christian or not. The behavior of many people who claim to be Christian is the reason that so many people either don’t become interested in Christianity or ask the question, “Why are there so many fake Christians?”

GUIDED BY THE SPIRIT Before Jesus returned to heaven after the resurrection, He promised His followers that he was not abandoning them, and that His Spirit would come and indwell within them.

THE DEVIL IS INFILTERATING OUR CHURCHES! The devil has been using a method of infiltration for thousands of years. That method has entered into the churches of America. There seems to be no revival, and more people are being born into the world physically and very few being born into the family of God these days.…

HURTING BELIEVERS! The truth be known, we don’t expect God’s people to behave like those without Christ in their lives. Being around other Christians should bring safety, acceptance, and forgiveness. The pain that is caused from hurt from Christians or church people is a silent destroyer because of the devastation it causes in the heart, mind, and …

HANDLING FEAR! As we look out into what is happening in our nation it is hard to not fear what is going on and the uncertain future. There are two fears from a biblical standpoint. One is fearing the Lord, which is actually a good fear. If you want to receive blessings in your life then you should fear the Lord Jesus.…

LIFE APPLICATION POINT: God’s involvement in your salvation includes His plan, process, and purpose.

PROFOUND TRUTH ABOUT SALVATION! This passage highlights the core of the Gospel message - that we are justified not by our own works or merit, but by the grace of God through the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross. It is through His blood that we find redemption and are made righteous in the eyes of God.…

JUSTIFIED BY GRACE! 24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: 25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; 26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he mig…

FREEDOM IN CHRIST! John 8:36 proclaims, "So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed." These words spoken by Jesus hold a profound truth that transcends all boundaries and challenges of life. In Him, we find true freedom - freedom from sin, guilt, and shame.

THE RESURRECTION! In Matthew 28:1-10, we witness the profound moment of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. As the women Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to see the tomb, they encountered an earthquake and an angel of the Lord who proclaimed the glorious news that Jesus had risen from the dead.

Faith In Christ

Nobody Like Jesus!

The Valley of The Shadow of Death

Seek His Face!

God’s Abundant Grace!

Psalm 23 is a beloved passage that has brought comfort and reassurance to countless souls throughout the ages. In the opening verses, the psalmist declares, "The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul."

In the Gospel of John, Jesus uses the analogy of a vine and its branches to teach us about the importance of abiding in Him. He says, "I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing."

In the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus tells a story of two builders, one who built his house on the rock and the other who built his house on the sand. The one who built on the rock is likened to a wise man who, when the storms came and the winds blew and beat against his house, it did not fall because it had been founded on the rock. However, the one wh…

In the Gospel of Mark, we encounter the story of a rich young ruler who approached Jesus with a burning question: "Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?" This young man seemed to have it all – wealth, status, and a desire for something more, something deeper that his possessions could not fulfill.…

In the book of Hebrews, we are reminded of the assurance and steadfastness of our hope in God through a beautiful analogy: "We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure."

ISOLATION! "What Causes Isolation?" So, in this series, we are going to be talking “Fear Not” and how we as Christians should overcome our fears. II Timothy 1:7 says, "For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind."

JUST BEING YOU! As Christians, we should genuinely be who God made us to be. The question we must ask is does our words match our walk?

STRONGHOLDS! What strongholds are holding you down in bondage?

"Consider What God Has Done In Our Past!" In this nugget we will discuss the topic of “Fear Not” and how we as Christians should overcome our fears. II Timothy 1:7 says, "For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind."

THE CHURCH! Do we really understand what the church is? We must realize that the church is not a building but a people with a purpose.

BE STRONG IN KING JESUS!

HOW CAN THINGS GET ANY WORSE?

FAITH UNDER ATTACK!

GOD AND FUTURE!

TURMOIL

MIGHTY IN FAITH! In Acts 12:1-12, we read about the remarkable story of Peter's miraculous escape from prison. Despite being bound by chains and guarded by soldiers, Peter's faith in God never wavered. Here are some reflections on faith inspired by this passage:

Faith in Prayer Persistence! In Colossians 4:2-3, the apostle Paul provides profound insight into the power and significance of faith in the life of a believer. He encourages the Colossian church, and by extension, all believers, to devote themselves to prayer with an attitude of thanksgiving. This simple instruction is packed with deep spiritual t…

FAITH WARRIORS! In 1 Corinthians 16:13-14, the passage encourages us to stand firm in our faith, be courageous, be strong, and do everything in love. This reminds us to hold on to our faith, even in challenging times, with unwavering courage and strength. By doing so, and by expressing love in all that we do, we can truly embody the essence of fait…

GUARDING FAITH! In Proverbs 4:23, we are encouraged to guard our hearts diligently, for everything we do flows from it. Just as a wellspring of water must be protected from contamination, so must our hearts be safeguarded from doubt and fear.

Unshakeable Faith! In John 16:33, Jesus reassures us with these powerful words, "In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." This verse reminds us that despite our life's challenges and trials, we can find peace and strength in our faith in Jesus Christ.

THE ABUNDANT HARVEST! In this passage from Matthew 9:35-38, we witness Jesus moving through towns and villages, bringing healing, proclaiming the good news, and expressing deep compassion for the people. As we reflect on these verses, we are reminded of the abundant harvest that awaits in the fields of God's kingdom.…

EMBRACING THE PRUNING PROCESS! In the vineyards of life, our Heavenly Father is the skilled Gardener who lovingly tends to the branches of the True Vine, which is Christ. In John 15:1-5, Jesus paints a vivid picture of the vital process of pruning. Just as a gardener trims away dead or unproductive branches to ensure the health and fruitfulness of …
