What Does It Matter? (Ep. 30)
Faith Journey | Rev. Kenn Blanchard
That question echoes straight out of Philippians 1:18, where Paul writes, “But what does it matter? The important thing is that in every way, whether from false motives or true, Christ is preached. And because of this I rejoice.” In context, Paul was imprisoned, and some people were preaching Christ with selfish motives—maybe even to stir up trouble for him. But Paul’s response is striking: what matters most is that the message of Christ is going out, regardless of the messenger’s intent. That’s a powerful lens for life—focusing not on ego, reputation, or control, but on purpose...

Faith Journey | Rev. Kenn Blanchard
Acts 2:15 says And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams: The Truth About Dreams and Reality We all dream of doing better, reaching higher, and following what ignites our souls.

Unrealistic Expectations. - episode 27
Faith Journey | Rev. Kenn Blanchard
Unrealistic expectations can be a serious challenge, affecting relationships, careers, and personal happiness. Unrealistic expectations as a Christian often arise from misunderstandings about faith, perfection, and God's plan. Scriptures often taken out of context: Then Jesus called the Twelve together and gave them power and authority over all demons, and power to cure diseases. / And He sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal the sick. And these signs will accompany those who believe: In My name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new...

Why Do You Think You Are Going Through...?
Faith Journey | Rev. Kenn Blanchard
what is the purpose of your struggles? why has God allowed it? Ask and reflect on that. Ephesians 4:12-32 spoke to me and I wanted to share that with you. 12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: 13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: 14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and...

12 Principles About Using the Name of Jesus
Faith Journey | Rev. Kenn Blanchard
Happy Mothers Day to all the mothers on this feed and in my life. "Blessed are you among women..." Psalm 107: 1- O give thanks unto the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever. Thank you Lord. If I speak with the eloquence of men and of angels, but have no love, I become no more than blaring brass or crashing cymbal. If I have the gift of foretelling the future and hold in my mind not only all human knowledge but the very secrets of God, and if I also have that absolute faith which can move mountains, but have no love, I amount to nothing at all. If I dispose of all...

What is Truth? thoughts on memes, worldviews and how we talk these days.
Faith Journey | Rev. Kenn Blanchard
2 Thessalonians 2:11-12: "And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness." The verse from 2 Thessalonians 2:11-12 addresses the concept of rejecting truth and embracing lies, which has profound relevance in modern life. In today's world, we're often inundated with information, some of which may be misleading or false. This passage serves as a cautionary reminder of the dangers of choosing convenience, comfort, or personal biases over...

Beloved, 1 John 4:7
Faith Journey | Rev. Kenn Blanchard
7 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. 8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. 9 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. 10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. 11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another. 12 No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God...
info_outlineLove versus everything else
- The Bible teaches us that God is love. Am I right? 1 John 4:16 says:
And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.”
However, the adversary of God knows this too. So he does the opposite. The Bible says he comes to kill steal and destroy.
- The devil uses the same 3 tricks most of the time and we miss it. We don’t see it.
- We don’t recognize when we are being used by him to do his work. It’s either Love or it’s everything else.
We don’t know that “friendship with the world is an enmity with God - James 4:4
You can’t be worldly and be Godly. You can’t be left and be right. You are either hot or cold. Lukewarm coffee is nasty. So is a lukewarm spirit.
God is love. We like love. I like love. Growing up I couldn’t wait till I got a girlfriend to love. I used to dream about it all the time. Were you like that? I was romantic too. Couldn’t get a girlfriend to save my life. I was awkward. I didn’t have any game. I used to go to skating rink with my friend Chuckie. Chucky was smooth. Chuckie could skate like he was flying. All I wanted back then was to be on the skating rink floor when they had the couples skating. That was going to be fire for me. Me and her, skating through life together.
That was the extent of my love knowledge back then. That wasn’t God. It’s like how we think church is supposed to be but don’t have Gods love in it.
