Faith Journey | Rev. Kenn Blanchard

What Are You Fishing For? Men pleasers- Ephesians 6:6 Not with eye service, as men pleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart; Gold/wealth- Matthew 23:17 Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifieth the gold? Treasures-Proverbs 10:2 - Treasures of wickedness profit nothing: but righteousness delivereth from death.

You ought to ALWAYS pray.  (Episode 6) show art You ought to ALWAYS pray. (Episode 6)

Faith Journey | Rev. Kenn Blanchard

And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;   The sin of not praying. Prayer is communication with God.  Jesus told us to always pray.  You can tell a spiritual contender from a pretender by their prayer.   The Spirit knows spirit.  There are people that stand up in church and start TALKING but they are not praying.  There are people that in their minds they are praying but their words are not going further than a few feet in front of their mouths. How do you NOT do that? Watch ye therefore, and pray always,...

5- Why are we never satisfied? show art 5- Why are we never satisfied?

Faith Journey | Rev. Kenn Blanchard

Better is the sight of the eyes than the wandering of the desire: this is also vanity and vexation of spirit Ecc 6:9 KJV   It is better to be happy with what you have than to always want more and more. Always wanting more and more is useless. It is like trying to catch the wind.  Ecclesiastes 6:9     Proverbs 13:25 The righteous eats to the satisfying of his soul, But the stomach of the wicked shall be in want.   Proverbs 27:20 Hell and Destruction are never full; So the eyes of man are never satisfied.   What's the deal on the quesiton of the week?    ...

Please forgive the audio on this episode. Colossians 3:13 "Bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive".    For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given, and the government will be upon His shoulders. And He will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.   She will give birth to a Son, and you are to give Him the name Jesus, because He will save His people from their sins.”   For God so loved the world that He gave His only...

    Answer for last week['s quesiton of the week: John 3.    This week the question of the week is: What is the relationship between Paul's teaching and James' teaching about faith and works?   This week, I want to help the helpers. You that have a testimony.  You that have worked in ministry and you that has a desire to do so.  Take it from me, sometimes we fail as disciples of Christ because even though our hearts are in the right place, our mouth is not connected.  We say the wrong thing.  I am just trying to help someone on your faith...

Frederick Douglass is quoted as saying without struggle there is no progress. Question of the Week: Where would you find the story of Jesus turning water into wine?   You know that to get muscles you have to stress out the muscles so that they grow. Our faith is like that too. You will not know that you have any faith until you have been tested with the portion God has given you.  As your faith grows, so does your work outs.  Or trials.  We would like to stay as kids with a Childs problems and concerns but we all have to adult, we all have to grow.  We all have to...

Faith Journey | Rev. Kenn Blanchard

A fool takes no pleasure in understanding, but only in expressing his opinion.     “Whoever guards his mouth and tongue keeps his soul from troubles” (Proverbs 21:23). Most of our slanderous remarks are not made to others’ faces but rather behind their backs. We need to set guiding principles in our life so we can guard our self from being unkind to others, even when speaking about them in private conversation. The Bible tells us, “Whoever secretly slanders his neighbor, Him I will destroy; The one who has a haughty look and a proud heart, Him I will not endure…. Let not a...
