What an amazing God we serve—He spared not His own beloved Son but gave Him up for us sinners on the cross as the ultimate sacrifice, proving His immense love. Through Jesus' finished work, we are fully forgiven, accepted in the Beloved, positioned at God's right hand, and invited to receive all things freely from His abundant grace,...
Jesus is bodily in heaven at the Father's right hand, yet through the Holy Spirit He's present with us just as powerfully today—no loss in value or power, like changing form from coins to a note. He demonstrated lordship over time (turning water to instant best wine) and space (healing remotely), and as our mercy seat, His blood fully...
As joint heirs with Christ, believers inherit healing, renewed strength, and evergreen vitality even in old age, fulfilled through promises like those in Psalm 103 and the blessing on Asher, where Jesus brought rich healing bread to a Gentile woman. To possess this inheritance, we must be strong, courageous, and meditate day and night on...
All things may not be good, but God works them together for our good because He knows the future and loves us enough to sometimes disappoint us to bring us to His best place. In Genesis 26, Isaac sowed in famine, obeyed God by not going to Egypt, and reaped hundredfold blessings, showing that true prosperity starts with knowing God, fearing Him,...
God makes good days abundant for His people (plural), while trials or "evil days" are few and singular. Pastor Prince gives five words of grace: "The battle is the Lord's," illustrated through David vs. Goliath, Jehoshaphat's victory by praise, and Moses at the Red Sea—encouraging believers to stand still, hold their...
Pastor Prince teaches that God raised Jesus from the dead because we believers were already declared righteous through Christ's work on the cross—our justification is the reason for the resurrection (Romans 4:25). This truth brings peace with God, access into grace, and the power to live victoriously above every challenge, seated with Christ...
This sermon explains the true purpose of Christmas: God's love gift of Jesus, who was born to die for our sins. Using Luke 2:6-7, the preacher highlights Jesus' sinless birth through a virgin, His role as the Lamb of God who takes away sin, and His victory over death. The conclusion invites listeners to believe and receive God's...
Merry Christmas! 700 years before Christ, Isaiah prophesied a child born and son given, bearing titles like Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. This Christmas story centers on Jesus' virgin birth—human to redeem us as one of us, divine Son given by the Father—His sinless blood shed willingly on the cross to...
God's favor (grace) is already on your life as unmerited, undeserved blessing, but it can be increased or frustrated. Favor multiplies through deeper experiential knowledge of Jesus, not more performance or works. Rest in Christ, avoid anxiety-driven doing, and seek favor first in family relationships—spouse, children, home—where true...
Night seasons—times of darkness, weeping, fear, or depression—are part of life this side of heaven, but they are temporary ("weeping may endure for a night"). God promises joy comes in the morning through Christ. In night seasons, see yourself shielded by God ("I am your shield"), meditate on His Word ("hearing and...
God calls believers to stay in the "upper chamber" (third floor realm) of the Spirit—heavenly places in Christ—where miracles, blessings, and angelic help abound. Through the story of Tabitha (Dorcas) raised in Joppa ("beautiful"), God reveals how to experience many beautiful days: by double hearing (Simon Peter with Simon the...
We easily become self-occupied, leading to shyness, anger, bitterness, entitlement, and hurt because we focus too much on ourselves instead of Christ. The Bible's purpose is to free us from self-occupation by occupying us with Christ's beauty and glory. Like the woman at the well, once she encountered Jesus knowing her fully yet loving...
Through the gospel, believers are no longer slaves or minors (nepios) under the law's guardianship but full adult sons (huios) with sonship and heirship through Christ. God sent the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying "Abba, Father," freeing us from fear and bondage to enjoy intimate sonship. The law was temporary like...
God works in light that swallows darkness—just turn on the light instead of fighting the dark. The gospel brings the good news of Christ's glory (doxa), meaning God's always-positive good opinion of us, leading to praise and honor. Through Jesus, believers stand eternally in this unchanging favor (charitu, highly graced in the Beloved),...
In this message, Joel Osteen teaches that God always warns us through an inner unrest or uneasiness before danger comes, because He sees what we cannot see. Drawing from Noah’s obedience to build the ark, the Titanic’s fatal pride, Herod’s hidden motives, Joseph’s immediate flight to Egypt, and personal stories, he shows that listening to these...
