In the journey of faith, many of us have experienced hurt, disappointment, and even betrayal within the church. Whether it's from a pastor, a fellow believer, or someone else, these painful experiences can leave us questioning our faith and our place within the church community. However, as Christians, we are called to keep our eyes on Jesus, even in the midst of these difficult circumstances. Let's explore how the Bible encourages us to navigate church hurts while focusing on our Savior.
1. Jesus: Our Ultimate Example of ForgivenessMatthew 18:21-22 (NIV) - "Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, 'Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother or sister who sins against me? Up to seven times?' Jesus answered, 'I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times.'"
Just as Jesus forgave those who crucified Him while hanging on the cross (Luke 23:34), we are called to emulate His example of forgiveness. When we've been hurt by someone in the church, it can be challenging to let go of the pain and resentment. However, keeping our eyes on Jesus reminds us that forgiveness is a crucial aspect of our faith, allowing us to experience healing and restoration.
2. Trusting God's Sovereignty in All SituationsRomans 8:28 (NIV) - "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose."
While church hurts can cause us to question God's plan, the Bible reassures us that God can bring good out of even the most challenging situations. Keeping our eyes on Jesus means trusting in His sovereignty and believing that He is at work, even when we can't see it. Our faith grows when we remember that God can use our pain to shape us into the people He intends us to be.
3. Cultivating Humility and Grace1 Peter 4:8 (NIV) - "Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins."
When hurt by a fellow believer, we have the opportunity to demonstrate humility and grace, just as Jesus did. Instead of harboring bitterness or seeking revenge, we can choose to extend love and forgiveness. By doing so, we reflect Christ's character and allow His light to shine through us, even in the midst of difficult circumstances.
Church hurts can leave lasting wounds, but as followers of Jesus, we are called to respond in a way that reflects His teachings and example. Through forgiveness, trust in God's sovereignty, and a commitment to love and grace, we can navigate these challenges while keeping our eyes on Jesus. By doing so, we not only find healing for ourselves but also contribute to the restoration and unity of the church as a whole.

The Path of Salvation for America: Repentance.

In a world engulfed by chaos and moral decay, the call for a nation's salvation echoes loudly. As a believer who has delved into the depths of Scripture, I have discovered a profound truth that holds the key to America's redemption: the single word "repentance." 
Through a journey of biblical exploration, I have come to realize that the fate of nations hinges on their response to the call of repentance.
Facing the Reality: From Baal to the God of Heaven and Earth. 
As I immersed myself in the pages of the Bible, I encountered numerous accounts of nations that turned away from the God of Heaven and Earth to worship false idols, particularly Baal. The haunting parallels between those historical events and the spiritual climate of our nation became evident. It was a sobering realization that America, too, stood at a crossroads, facing the temptation of idol worship, materialism, and moral decay.The Heart of the Matter: Repentance. 
In my pursuit of wisdom and guidance, the Bible spoke resoundingly of the solution: repentance. Turning away from sin and seeking God's forgiveness is a message echoed throughout Scripture. In 2 Chronicles 7:14, the Lord declares, "If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land."Repentance is not merely a somber acknowledgment of wrongdoing; it's a profound shift of the heart and a turning back to God. It is a plea for restoration, a return to the embrace of the Creator, and an acknowledgment that our trust has been misplaced in earthly pursuits rather than in the God of mercy and grace.
Learning from History: Nineveh vs. Sodom and Gomorrah. 
Two contrasting narratives from Scripture stand as stark reminders of the choices a nation can make. The story of Nineveh illustrates the power of repentance. When the people of Nineveh heeded Jonah's warning and repented, God's mercy prevailed, sparing the city from destruction. On the other hand, the tragedy of Sodom and Gomorrah serves as a cautionary tale of what happens when a nation rejects God's call to repentance.
The Call of Hope: America's Turning Point? 
Amidst the shadows of uncertainty, there is hope for America. Our nation can indeed follow in the footsteps of Nineveh and choose the path of repentance. 
If we, as a nation, humble ourselves, confess our sins, and turn to Jesus Christ, there is a promise of healing and restoration. God's mercy knows no bounds, and His desire is that none should perish but all should come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9).
In embracing the call to repentance, America has the potential to become a modern-day Nineveh. Through sincere and genuine repentance, we can avert the fate of destruction and experience the redemption and renewal that only Jesus Christ can bring. 
Let us, as believers, intercede on behalf of our nation, fervently praying that America's heart would be softened and that we may witness a revival that transforms lives, communities, and the nation as a whole. The path of salvation for America is not in political strategies or human achievements but in the foundational act of repentance. 
It is a clarion call to turn our hearts back to God and seek His forgiveness. May we, as individuals and as a nation, heed this call, aligning ourselves with God's divine plan for redemption, and embracing the hope of becoming a nation that shines as a beacon of righteousness and grace! 
Let it be so, in Jesus name!

Today, we embark on a spiritual journey, tracing the well-trodden path known as the "Roman's Road" to salvation. This term refers to a selection of verses from the Apostle Paul's Epistle to the Romans that outlines the fundamental tenets of Christian salvation. The 'Roman's Road' is a systematic way to understand why we need salvation, how God provides it, how we can receive it, and what its consequences are.The Roman's Road isn't just ancient history or theology confined to the pages of a book. It's a living, breathing guide that can direct any lost soul to eternal life in Christ. I urge you to not only walk this road yourself but to guide others on their journey too. 🙏

“The Difference Between A Medium/Psychic and A Prophet Of God”

According to the Bible, there are clear contrasts between a medium or psychic and a genuine prophet of God. These differences can help believers discern between true spiritual guidance and deceptive practices. Let's explore these contrasts and how we can tell the difference as followers of Christ:
**1. Source of Authority:**   - **Medium/Psychic:** They often claim to receive information from spirits, the deceased, or supernatural sources outside of God.   - **Prophet of God:** Their authority comes from the one true God. They receive messages directly from Him through His Holy Spirit.
**2. Message Alignment with God's Word:**   - **Medium/Psychic:** Their messages will be inconsistent with or contradictory to the teachings of the Bible. Or they will twist scripture.   - **Prophet of God:** Their messages align with the teachings of the Bible and do not contradict God's revealed word.
**3. Motive:**   - **Medium/Psychic:** May often seek personal gain or profit from their practices.   - **Prophet of God:** Their primary motive is to honor God, share His messages, and guide people toward His truth.
**4. Character and Lifestyle:**   - **Medium/Psychic:** Their practices usually involve occultism and involvement with spirits that are not of God.   - **Prophet of God:** They live in obedience to God's commands, leading a life characterized by holiness and godliness.
**5. Miraculous Confirmation:**   - **Medium/Psychic:** The "miracles" they perform are not be truly miraculous, but rather deceptive manifestations.   - **Prophet of God:** Their messages may be accompanied by genuine miracles and signs that confirm the divine origin of their words.
**6. Discernment Through the Holy Spirit:**   - **Medium/Psychic:** They lack the presence of the Holy Spirit in their lives and teachings.   - **Prophet of God:** Operate under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, who empowers them to speak God's truth accurately.
**7. Fruit of Their Ministry:**   - **Medium/Psychic:** They lead people away from God's truth and promote confusion.   - **Prophet of God:** Their ministry bears fruit that aligns with God's purposes—such as repentance, reconciliation, and spiritual growth.
**8. Recognition by the Community of Believers:**   - **Medium/Psychic:** Their practices should be viewed as dubious or even harmful by the broader Christian community.   - **Prophet of God:** Their authenticity may be recognized and affirmed by fellow believers and spiritual leaders.
As believers in Christ, we can discern between a medium/psychic and a true prophet of God by comparing their teachings and practices with the principles outlined in the Bible.
Regularly studying Scripture, growing in our relationship with God, and seeking wisdom from godly mentors can equip us to recognize and reject false teachings while embracing genuine messages that draw us closer to Him.
According to scriptures, there are several ways believers can hear from God. It's important to approach this with humility, seeking a genuine connection with God rather than relying solely on our own desires or expectations. Here are some ways through which Christians can hear from God, as outlined in the Bible:
**1. Prayer:** Regular, sincere prayer is a powerful way to communicate with God and hear His voice. Jesus emphasized the importance of prayer in Matthew 6:6 (NIV): "But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you."
**2. Scripture:** The Bible is God's revealed word and a primary means through which He communicates with His people. Reading, studying, and meditating on Scripture allows us to understand His character, will, and teachings. 2 Timothy 3:16-17 (ESV) affirms this: "All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work."
**3. Holy Spirit:** The Holy Spirit, who dwells within believers, guides, comforts, and speaks to us. Jesus promised the Holy Spirit's guidance in John 14:26 (ESV): "But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you."
**4. Circumstances:** God can use circumstances to communicate His will. Proverbs 16:9 (NIV) states, "In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps." Paying attention to the doors that open or close and seeking God's guidance through circumstances can provide insight.
**5. Wise Counsel:** Seeking advice from godly mentors, pastors, and fellow believers can help us discern God's voice. Proverbs 15:22 (NIV) says, "Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisers they succeed."
**6. Still Small Voice:** God can speak to us in subtle, quiet ways—what's often referred to as the "still small voice." 1 Kings 19:12 (NIV) describes how God spoke to Elijah: "And after the fire came a gentle whisper."
**7. Dreams and Visions:** While not as common, God has communicated through dreams and visions in the Bible. However, it's important to discern these experiences through prayer, Scripture, and spiritual discernment.
**8. Worship and Praise:** Engaging in worship and praise can create an atmosphere where we are more receptive to God's presence and leading. Psalm 22:3 (ESV) says, "Yet you are holy, enthroned on the praises of Israel."
It's crucial to approach these methods with a heart that is open to God's will, seeking His guidance rather than imposing our desires.
While God communicates in various ways, His messages will always align with His character and the principles found in Scripture. Developing a deep relationship with God through prayer, study, and obedience enhances our ability to hear and discern His voice in our lives.

The Sons of Sceva: A Lesson in Spiritual Authority

The Sons of Sceva: A Lesson in Spiritual Authority

Today, we delve into the Book of Acts, chapter 19, verses 13-17. This passage tells the story of the sons of Sceva, Jewish exorcists who tried to cast out evil spirits using the name of Jesus, whom Paul preached about. They failed miserably and were overpowered by the evil spirit, who declared, "Jesus I know, and Paul I know, but who are you?"
The story of the sons of Sceva serves as a potent reminder of the importance of genuine faith and spiritual authority. These men attempted to wield the name of Jesus as if it were a magical incantation, separate from a life committed to Christ. They lacked the true spiritual authority that comes from a deep, abiding relationship with the Lord. Thus, they were exposed as frauds, unable to command even the lesser beings in the spiritual realm.
This story teaches us that it is not enough to merely utter the name of Jesus; one must have faith in Him and a relationship with Him. Spiritual authority doesn't come from the words we speak, but from the life we live in Christ. It warns us against using God's name in a way that is disingenuous or manipulative. Spiritual power is not a shortcut or a technique but a byproduct of our relationship with Christ.
Moreover, this story serves as a cautionary tale for anyone who may seek to appropriate elements of Christianity for personal gain or without genuine belief. The name of Jesus is not a talisman to be used lightly; it represents the divine power that defeated sin and death, power that is available only through a living relationship with Christ.
So, let us not be like the sons of Sceva, who thought that they could use the name of Jesus without knowing Him. Let us strive to deepen our relationship with the Lord so that we can wield true spiritual authority that comes from being in Christ. 
According to the Christian Bible, establishing and maintaining a true relationship with Jesus Christ involves several important steps and ongoing practices:
1. *Faith and Belief*: The foundational step is to believe in Jesus Christ as the Son of God and the Savior of the world (John 3:16).
2. *Repentance*: Acknowledging and turning away from sin is another crucial aspect. Repentance is a change of heart and direction (Acts 2:38).
3. *Baptism*: In some Christian traditions, baptism is seen as a public declaration of faith and a symbol of the new life in Christ (Matthew 28:19).
4. *Prayer*: A relationship with Jesus involves ongoing communication through prayer (Philippians 4:6).
5. *Reading the Bible*: To understand Jesus and His teachings, it's important to regularly read and study the Bible (2 Timothy 3:16-17).
6. *Worship and Fellowship*: Gathering with other believers in worship and fellowship helps to build and sustain a relationship with Jesus (Hebrews 10:25).
7. *Obedience*: A true relationship with Jesus means obeying His teachings and commands (John 14:15).
8. *Love and Compassion*: Jesus taught the importance of loving God and loving others (Matthew 22:37-39).
9. *Sharing the Gospel*: Part of having a relationship with Jesus is sharing the Good News with others (Matthew 28:18-20).
10. *Holiness and Sanctification*: As believers grow in their relationship with Jesus, they should aim to live a life that is set apart for God's purposes (1 Peter 1:16).
11. *Service*: Serving others in love is a sign of a genuine relationship with Jesus (Matthew 25:35-40).
12. *Endurance and Perseverance*: The Christian walk requires perseverance, especially during trials and temptations (James 1:12).
These are not a checklist to earn salvation, but rather are aspects of a growing and vibrant relationship with Jesus Christ, according to biblical teachings. Different Christian traditions might emphasize some aspects more than others, but these principles are broadly shared.

🙏 Friday Service: "Ten Characteristics of Biblical Leadership" 🙏 8-25-23🔥 LIVE from the Remnant Revival Center in Gallatin, TN! 🔥
Leadership is an essential theme in the Bible, whether it's leading nations, guiding families, or shepherding spiritual communities. This sermon will explore ten common characteristics that Biblical leaders possess, derived from scriptural teachings: Willingness to Serve, Humility, Wisdom, Courage, Integrity, Faithfulness, Compassion, Vision, Accountability, AND Adaptability.Leaders must be adaptable to God’s will, even when it disrupts their plans. Paul was willing to change his course when he recognized a new direction from God.Leadership in the Bible is complex and multidimensional, but it's anchored in a relationship with God. Leaders who embody these ten characteristics—service, humility, wisdom, courage, integrity, faithfulness, compassion, vision, accountability, and adaptability—are not just successful in worldly terms but are fulfilling God’s divine mandate for leadership. May we strive to develop these traits in our journey with Christ. 🙏
