"Letting Go of the Past" (Part 1)
April 21, 2024 • Pastor Asa Dockery
"Letting Go of the Past" -As Christians, we can't do the same things the same way and expect our lives to be different. There has to be a transformation that takes place in our hearts. To override our human weaknesses, God has given to every person the measure of faith. To override our ways so that we can please the Father, He has given us His truth. As we obey the truth of God by faith, God will reveal the error of our ways so that we can be transformed. All we need to do is OBEY the Holy Spirit. It's that easy!
"There are Two Offers on the Table" (Part 2)
April 14, 2024 • Pastor Asa Dockery
"There are Two Offers on the Table" -There is a spiritual war taking place over your soul. This war is between you and your desires (lusts). Even though we are in a war with Satan over our soul, Jesus has already won that war and His victory is forever secure. The war that we are engaged in now has to do with who will win our soul, Jesus or Satan. We war with our own desires for pleasure, but if we would submit our hearts to God, He would give us the desires of our hearts. What are you building your life upon, the Rock or sand?

"Created Differently to be Different" (Part 2)
March 31, 2024 • Pastor Asa Dockery
"Created Differently to be Different" -God did more than create us, He also gave mankind dominion. However, through their sin, Adam and Eve gave their dominion over to Satan when they chose to believe his lies instead of heeding God's warning. Therefore, God set out to establish a different race of people in the earth which came into existence through the faith of Abraham, another man. That covenant failed to produce what God intended when He made it with Abraham because of the unbelief of the Jews. Consequently, God entered a new covenant with Himself. God became flesh and through Him, God has been able to create a new race of people that will overcome the Devil and the world. Christians aren't just human beings, we are also spiritual beings.

"Walking in Peace and Authority" (Part 2)
March 18, 2024 • Pastor Asa Dockery
"Walking in Peace and Authority" -Do not be mistaken, Satan works through the flesh nature of people. However, our battle isn't with people, but with demonic forces. If Satan can get us to fall for his schemes, we will forfeit our peace and authority. There are great insights in this message for all believers.

A Controlled Burn (Part 1)
February 25, 2024 • Pastor Asa Dockery
"A Controlled Burn" -It's amazing to read the story where Moses saw a bush that was engulfed in flames, but it wasn't destroyed. Throughout the Old Testament, God appeared to His people as fire. The writer of Hebrews declares that our God is a consuming fire. How is it that God's fire can be inside of His children and we not be consumed? The fire of God is given to preserve us, not destroy us.
Drawing the Wrong Conclusions about Jesus (Part 2)
February 18, 2024 • Pastor Asa Dockery
"Drawing the Wrong Conclusions about Jesus" -John writes that Jesus came to His own people and they did not receive Him. Even though Jesus taught like no other teacher and performed countless miracles in their midst, the Jews refused to believe He was God's Son. Repeatedly, the Jews came to the wrong conclusions about Jesus. Until Jesus is revealed to believers, we won't always understand His sayings. Even though God is our heavenly Father, we don't understand all of His ways. However, once the Holy Spirit reveals the spiritual truth to believers, we will know our God and be strong in our walk of faith.

How to Walk Away From a Toxic Relationship (Part 2)
February 4, 2024 • Pastor Asa Dockery
"How to Walk Away From a Toxic Relationship" -Samson allowed Delilah to sale him out to the enemies of Israel because he tolerated a toxic relationship. David committed adultery and murder, even though he was a man after the heart of God, because he tolerated a toxic relationship. If Christians allow self to rule our hearts, we are allowing self to also rule our lives through a toxic relationship with it. Self is used by Satan to rob Christians of our spiritual inheritance, authority, and liberty. Jesus was sent to liberate us from toxic relationships and to offer us a holy relationship with Him.

Discover the Pitfall of Freewill (Part 2)
January 21, 2024 • Pastor Asa Dockery
"Discover the Pitfall of Freewill" -All humans are born into the world as sinners and we all know the consequences of sin. Nevertheless, God has sent Jesus to save us from our sins. Once we are born again, Satan doesn't give up on his relentless attacks against our soul. He seeks to destroy our faith in God through physical and emotional pain. Perhaps, you're having to endure a very painful and prolonged season in your life. Perhaps, you're considering backing away or telling God that you've had enough and you want to quit. If so, God has a word of assurance for you.

"Are You Tired of Waiting on God?" (Part 2)
January 7, 2024 • Pastor Asa Dockery
"Are You Tired of Waiting on God?" -If you are weary of waiting on God, God has a word for you. The enemy seeks opportunities to wear Christians down so that we don't stand as firmly against him. If you are on the brink of giving up because the Lord hasn't come through for you, listen to this word before you act on your impulses.
