"Strive To Enter In At The Strait Gate" (Hard Way or Easy Way)

Understand the Bible? Pastor Melissa Scott, Ph.D.

Faith in the Face of Panic

Understand the Bible? Pastor Melissa Scott, Ph.D.

Especially for the sake of those who are not "church people," this series of scriptures is a reminder that God is not the author of fear or confusion and does not sow panic. Throughout the Bible we have been given instruction to have courage and not be afraid. In a time of crisis, like the COVID-19 pandemic, we should look to God and His word, and He will give us peace and clarity. We can then be pillars for others and strengthen their faith with these scriptures. VF-2228 Watch, Listen and Learn 24x7 at Pastor Melissa Scott teaches from Faith Center in Glendale.

The Love of God: A Mother’s Day Message

Understand the Bible? Pastor Melissa Scott, Ph.D.

A mother’s day message showing three mothers (Hannah, Bath-sheba and Rahab) who weren’t perfect, but brought up good children in the Lord. The greater lesson is on forgiveness, which is made possible by the love of God to take us right where we’re at no matter who we are or what our past was like.

Be Not Moved Away from the Hope of the Gospel

Understand the Bible? Pastor Melissa Scott, Ph.D.

We are instructed to continue in the faith in order to be able to resist the external forces working to move us away from the hope of the gospel. The Colossian converts had people presenting false teaching to try to move them away, and the devil will often send people who will ridicule and persecute those in the right way. If we fall outside the hope, we end up back in the bondage to the world, the flesh, and the devil. Remain rooted and grounded in the faith.

Understanding the Resurrected Life

Understand the Bible? Pastor Melissa Scott, Ph.D.

Exposure to the facts of the Resurrection should bring about a change in us. When we live our life in the knowledge of faith in the fact that we have eternal life with Christ, it changes us. Our hearts and our minds will be transformed, to God's ultimate glory. VF-2388 Watch, Listen and Learn 24x7 at Pastor Melissa Scott teaches from Faith Center in Glendale.

Sacrifice of Self and the Grace of Giving

Understand the Bible? Pastor Melissa Scott, Ph.D.

Until the self is conquered, nothing can be done for the Kingdom of God. The proof of our love is in the way we give money, time, heart, and self. There is no excuse to not give: God bestowed grace on the Macedonian Christians who gave out of their deep poverty, and Christ memorialized the poor widow who gave of her substance into the treasury. These did not suffer the worst poverty of spiritual bankruptcy. Once the self is presented a living sacrifice to God, He is able to supply all we need and provide abounding grace.

The Peace of God and Peace with God

Understand the Bible? Pastor Melissa Scott, Ph.D.

We face difficult and uncertain times, but we can have the peace of God and peace with God. This peace comes from God; it is given to us. Christ died for the ungodly; He cleanses us, forgives us, and justifies us. If we understand that, we can be calm in the worst of storms.

Let No One Dogmatize You

Understand the Bible? Pastor Melissa Scott, Ph.D.

Since we are buried, dead and resurrected with Christ and set free from the law by Him, why would we stand by and let ourselves get dogmatized and be put under regulations by man? There is a long list of traditions that man has added on to the church, but they are not the word of God. Having a relationship with God is not keeping regulations but trusting Him and talking to Him.

Let No One Rob You of Your Reward

Understand the Bible? Pastor Melissa Scott, Ph.D.

What happened at the church in Colossae is still happening in the church today: adding onto the simplicity of the gospel. All of these add-ons seem to be super spiritual, like the worshiping of angels and marvelous visions, but in reality they’re fake, and all they do is distract. Let no one rob you of your reward which comes by simple faith in Jesus Christ, cultivating a personal relationship with Him in the here and now.

Sabbathing: From Creation to Christianity

Understand the Bible? Pastor Melissa Scott, Ph.D.

God’s Sabbath was when He rested from all His work on the seventh day of Creation, but the term “sabbath” is first used when God gave the children of Israel a day to rest from their work, which turned into a commemoration of their deliverance from Egypt. The sabbathing of the Christian is not limited to a single day but is a relationship of trusting Christ every day.
