"Jesus Obeyed Anyway" -When you are mistreated or you're not shown respect, how do you respond? How we respond to being mistreated or disrespected will show others what is really in our hearts. God sent Jesus to earth to preach the truth to the Jews, His chosen people. When Jesus declared the Good News to them, the Jews rejected Him and His teachings. As Jesus' fame grew, the Jewish leaders tried to discourage the Jews from listening to Jesus because of His influence on the people. The leaders even resorted to threats and violence against Jesus to intimidate Him. Jesus refused to allow His enemies, rejection, or even hatred to stop Him from obeying the Father. If you truly want to know what spiritual liberty and power are, this is the message for you.

Access Granted

"Access Granted" -When God delivered His people from the land of bondage, it was His intention to give them spiritual rest. However, the Jews refused to honor God or His Word. So, He refused to give them His rest. When believers come to Jesus, we have to do more than simply believe. Otherwise, we won't be allowed to enter the kingdom of God or inherit His promises. Christians must realize that it's not enough to stand at the door and knock. At some point, we have to be willing to enter in through it. Access has been granted but how many will take God at His Word and enter?

The Power of One

November 3, 2024 • Pastor Asa Dockery

"The Power of One" -The Word declares that with God all things are possible. All Christians need to obey God is to utilize our faith and God will do the work so that His purpose is done through us. However, Christians can struggle with so many issues in our lives that erode at our confidence that can cause us to be afraid to step out in faith. It's been stated that "You and God make a majority." Has God placed things in your heart that makes you shutter to even think about doing them? God won't allow us to allow fear to stop us from obeying Him. This is why God has given to every person the measure of faith and requires us to use our faith to obey Him.

Access Denied

October 30, 2024 • Pastor Asa Dockery

"Access Denied" -Jesus warns us in Luke 11 : 35, "Be careful, then, that the light within you is not darkness." It's very possible to believe something to be true when it is a lie. All that needs to happen to believe a lie as the truth is to be convinced that it is the truth. Notice that Jesus teaches that the light that is in some believers is not light at all but they will believe it to be light, but they will still be in darkness. To know the truth of God, we have do more than simply believe it. God requires us to obey the truth even when we don't understand what He instructing us to do. Therefore, when we obey God, even though we don't understand Him or His instructions, we are placing our faith in God and not in ourselves. Once truth is revealed to us, God's light will shine in our hearts and we will have spiritual understanding and know the truth.
