How to be a Successful Father (Deuteronomy 6:1-9)

Message, Video / By /

Today, we’re beginning a new message series called “The Book of Life.” We’re going to be talking about something that is an essential component of every father’s toolkit, a book called the Bible.

When our country was founded, a deep knowledge of the Bible was part of every person’s education. Today, the most famous book in the history of the world is rarely studied in school, except for those majoring in theology. A recent survey showed that 58% of the Americans are not interested in the wisdom of the Bible and 57% read is less than 5 times a year. People think they know what is in the Bible, but surveys have shown time and again, that most people’s concept of what the Bible says is largely incorrect. …

Is Healing Important in Outreach? (Matthew 9:35 – 10:8)

Audio, Message, Video / By /

Today my message is entitled “Is Healing Important in Outreach?” We’re going to explore the importance of healing in outreach. So to begin with, we need to define what outreach is all about. Outreach is summarized by Jesus in Matthew 28:18-20, often called the Great Commission.

Matthew 28:18-20 (NIV) Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” …

Are Demons Involved in Sickness? (Mark 5:1-17)

Audio, Message, Video / By /

My topic for today is the question “Are Demons Involved in Sickness?” The topic of demons is rarely addressed in churches today. At Life Church, we base our teaching on God’s Word. If it’s in God’s Word, it’s there for a reason, so we need to understand what the Bible says about the demonic. In this message series, we’ve seen that Jesus’ ministry involved two major aspects, healing and teaching God’s Word. Let’s look at Peter’s summary of Jesus’ ministry in

Acts 10:38 (NIV) how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power, and how he went around doing good and healing all who were under the power of the devil, because God was with him. …

Is Faith Required for Healing? (Matthew 8:5-17)

Audio, Message, Video / By /

My topic for today is the question “Is Faith Required for Healing?” Whenever you talk about healing, someone will negatively talk about “faith healers.” Everyone once in a while, you will read in the news about some parent who supposedly was believing God to heal a child and didn’t take them to the doctor and something terrible happened. So, let me start off by saying that God heals through many different ways, including through doctors and medicine. As a believer, our faith is in God for healing, as we use every means that God has blessed us with for healing, which includes modern medicine. So, when someone is sick, pray and go to the doctor. God works through prayer and medicine to bring about healing. …

Is Healing God’s Will? (Matthew 8:1-4)

Audio, Message, Video / By /

Today we start a new message series called “Jesus Our Healer.” We’re going to talking about the topic of healing. Sickness is a universal need. Everyone is sick from time to time and we all know others who are battling various kinds of illnesses. The latest figures show that 18% of all expenditures in the United States are spent on healthcare, $2.7 trillion dollars worth. So as much a blessing as modern medicine is, it certainly has not eliminated sickness and disease.

People have all kinds of opinions about healing, but in this series, we’re going to using the Bible as our guide to the topic.

2 Timothy 3:16-17 (NIV) All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work. …

When Jesus Comes (Luke 19:29-48)

Audio, Bible, Message, Video / By /

Today, my message is entitled “When Jesus Comes.” We’re going to be talking about Jesus. Jesus is the most influential person who has ever lived. He lived 2000 years ago, yet his influence grows year by year. Currently, 1 out of every 3 people in the world identifies with Christianity, about 2.2 billion people. Christianity is the largest religion in the world and continues to grow. Yet Jesus is also a very polarizing person when you understand what he said.

Matthew 10:34-35 (NIV) “Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to turn “‘a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law— …
