A Scared World Needs A Fearless Church
Fearless LA Podcast
Without vision people perish, which means they expire living hopeless lives and many times they end up waiting around dead things expecting it to give them life. Religion is man made and as we go through the motions we might become dry in our faith but as a river of living water Jesus will bring life wherever He shows up. Let’s not be like the people surrounded at the pool waiting for an angel to save them when the one who carries healing we desire,, is in the room waiting to encounter us. We can be people that hear about Jesus but because our eyes are so focused on breakthrough...

Wake Up, Oh Sleeper
Fearless LA Podcast
All throughout the Bible God would constantly ask the Israelites to remember. Because sometimes looking back at the things that God got you through can give you the courage and confidence to believe that He’s going to get you through the now. But there are times that the Lord says, “I need you to forget the former things and perceive the new.” If we are looking back we will never be able to move forward into what He’s wanting to do through us. When we start living in a way that fills our house with light, we can be entrusted to change the neighborhood and then the world! The...

Just Carry The Water
Fearless LA Podcast
God is everywhere and is not confined to a building because of that we see Jesus at a wedding, where He ends up performing one of His very first miracles. The miracle that turned water into wine wasn’t as simple as Jesus snapping His fingers but instead He gave the servants a process, a series of steps to follow that brings this miracle to pass. Oftentimes this ends up being the case with our own lives; we might be broke and He gives us a process to heal our finances, we might need community and He gives us a process to getting plugged into the family. Here are some things to remember about...

Sometimes in life we find ourselves stuck on a road without end but with, there is always something to expect at the finish line.

Chosen To Change The World
Fearless LA Podcast
The Lord longs to give us His Holy Spirit power, not just power for selfish gain but power so that we can be a witness in testifying about the truth of God. It’s okay if we don’t have the personality of the prerequisite in our biblical education to do so but all we need is the power to go out and preach this word with our lives. Along with the power we also need to be able to discern where the Holy Spirit is leading us because some things can simply be a good idea instead of a God idea. Sometimes the call of God might lead us to encounter closed doors which is why it is important to start...

Awakening The Church! The Dangers Of Lukewarm Living
Fearless LA Podcast
Revelation 3:14-17 Those who God loves, he disciplines through truth in love by giving us an honest picture of our lives. As we continue this series on the churches we see that in everything God says He is longing for intimacy with us. With the church of Laodicea He does commend them for their works but because they were a church that worked hard yet has chosen to be lukewarm, He ultimately rebukes them the most. God addresses the attitude in which they had succumbed to living their lives and implores them to become either hot or cold. Christianity is an all in the way of being, you cannot be...

Moral Relativism VS Absolute Truth: The Defining Debate
Fearless LA Podcast
There is a spirit at work in our modern day culture that has led us into a false theology. We in the western world are not the persecuted church, however we can be a group of people that call Him Lord without submitting to Him in our hearts. There is no qualification in Christ Jesus besides Christ Jesus and we have been asked to practice the word of God that we hear. In order to become a true disciple of Christ there is a level of practice of this relationship that can only come when we are possessed by the will of God. Like the church of Thyatira we can so easily become a church that is great...

Are We Just Playing Christian? | Christy Johnson
Fearless LA Podcast
Our relationship with God is never about what He can do for us, it should always be about falling more in love with Him. Our earthly actions in attending church, doing ministry or giving to the poor will never get us into heaven, but true intimacy with Him will decide our trajectory. In the book of revelation, Jesus reminds us that it is so easy to become a group of people that are professional Christian’s who maybe look the part, but nothing will matter if we don’t allow ourselves to go back to the basics and to His first love. One of the churches that did do well in His eyes,...

Famous In Hell - Jeremy Johnson
Fearless LA Podcast
Light shines brightest in the dark and although there might be people that use God’s name invain wanting to get their glory here on earth, there is a group of people who would rather be famous in hell than in anywhere else.Fame is about focusing on yourself whereas influence is about those around you. We should be seeking to help those in every sphere of our lives by pointing them to Jesus. Religion will make us afraid of hell but a relationship with God will make hell more afraid of us so here’s some practical steps on how to walk this walk. 1. Proclaim the gospel boldly and regularly...
info_outlineWhen Jesus walked through the earth He did so with the intention of being an example for how to live life with the Spirit. The fruit of our spirit is not something that just appears during times of trouble but cultivated daily so that people around us will be able to have access to someone that has joy, peace, kindness, faithfulness and so forth. Apostle Paul tells us in Galatians that there is a constant battle between the flesh and the spirit and all of us Christians should try our best to live by the spirit and not by the flesh. When we think about faithfulness it can be broken down into a simple equation of Faithfulness being a result of character, stewardship and longevity. These three things being different from those that are out there in the world will help people identify that we carry the faithful love of Jesus.
1. Character is not something that is a front but it is who you are in every aspect of our lives, both seen and unseen. It’s what allows us to live life with integrity.
2. Stewardship requires us to act in obedience and not in comparison. Each of us has been given a portion and we are expected to multiply that portion based on our time, talent and treasure.
3. Longevity requires us to see things through consistently over an extended period of time.
It's being able to tap into a supernatural source to go through life without burning out. We are not called to be perfect and we should never allow that to discourage us but everyday of this life we should be trying to look more like Jesus. We are called to live a life that is not easily discredited and the good news is that we can. So what does the fruit of faithfulness look like in our lives? Maybe it’s us just making it into church through tough circumstances, maybe it’s worshiping God through some painful moments. Jesus is faithful to us despite our unfaithfulness and He has given us the ability to do the same!Application:
Is there an area of your character, how you steward or your ability to endure that can be worked on today?
Prayer:
Father, I long to be a faithful follower of your will and your word. I understand that it is easy to give into our flesh and ask for things that we want but more than the desires of my flesh I long to live a life that is worthy of you. Help me endure in faithfulness and help me develop my character, become a good steward of these resources and to have longevity in this race! In Jesus name Amen
