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...

He is Risen. Happy Easter. #20
Faith Journey | Rev. Kenn Blanchard
Matthew 27:32-56 32 And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name: him they compelled to bear his cross. 33 And when they were come unto a place called Golgotha, that is to say, a place of a skull, 34 They gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall: and when he had tasted thereof, he would not drink. 35 And they crucified him, and parted his garments, casting lots: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, They parted my garments among them, and upon my vesture did they cast lots. 36 And sitting down they watched him...

Trust God (ep. 19)
Faith Journey | Rev. Kenn Blanchard
Trusting God involves placing faith and reliance in God's character, promises, and wisdom, even when circumstances are difficult or unclear. It's about choosing to believe that God is good, loving, and ultimately has a plan for your life, even when you don't understand. Psalm 105: 4 Seek the Lord, and his strength: seek his face evermore. New King James Version psalm 31: 14 But as for me, I trust in You, O Lord; I say, “You are my God.” 15 My times are in Your hand; Deliver me from the hand of my enemies, And from those who persecute me.

Hoping Rather Than Having Faith - Episode 18
Faith Journey | Rev. Kenn Blanchard
In a Biblical context, hope is a confident expectation and desire for future good, rooted in faith in God's promises and His redemptive acts, rather than a mere wish for something good to happen. Faith is a strong belief or trust in God, often without complete proof or evidence. Doubt will hinder your prayers. Beware of wishful thinking. Kenn Youtube @revkennblanchard

Meditate on His Word for Salvation
Faith Journey | Rev. Kenn Blanchard
When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side. Matthew 13:19

Faith Journey | Rev. Kenn Blanchard
Luke 17:11-19 King James Version 11 And it came to pass, as he went to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee. 12 And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off: 13 And they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us. 14 And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go shew yourselves unto the priests.

The Irritant in Your Life - episode 15
Faith Journey | Rev. Kenn Blanchard
Corinthians 12:7-12 King James Version 7 And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure. 8 For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me. 9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 10 Therefore I take pleasure in...

info_outlineWhat would Mary do?
This month we are learning about faith. This week we are learning about the faith of Mary, mother of Jesus.
8 INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT MARY THE MOTHER OF JESUS
Fact #1: Mary comes from the Old Testament name Miriam which carries a meaning of bitterness, sorrow and trouble.
Mary was from the tribe of Judah and the lineage of David. This was a. fulfillment of the prophecy (Isaiah 11:1, Jeremiah 23:5-6)
Fact #3: Mary was poor and was raised in a small, remote village called Nazareth.
Fact #4: Mary was uneducated according to the standard of the world but knew God for herself.
Fact #5: Mary was in the first stage of marriage. In Jewish practices, marriages had 3 stages. In the first step was the signing of the contract called a ketubbah.
The couple was married but were not permitted to have sex. That why the Bible says she was betrothed. A betrothal could only be broken by death or divorce.
Which is why although they had not yet engaged in sex, Joseph was going to divorce her.
Fact #6: How old was Mary when she gave birth to Jesus? Betrothal usually happened right after puberty so Mary was likely in her early teens when she became pregnant and gave birth to Jesus.
Fact #7: Due to her pregnancy Mary did not enter the second stage of marriage until after Jesus was born. In this stage, the marriage was consummated. And in the final stage, a celebratory feast was held.
Fact #8: Jesus was Mary’s firstborn. She had other children afterwards (Luke 2:7.) She had four sons and an undisclosed number of daughters (Mark 6:3; Matt 13:55,56)
