Staying Positive in a Negative World — By the Power of God’s Grace (90) show art Staying Positive in a Negative World — By the Power of God’s Grace (90)

BroKen & Believing | Rev. Kenn Blanchard

The World Is Loud, but Grace Is Stronger   Negativity has a way of filling the air like static. It’s on the news, in conversations, in the quiet corners of our own minds. But the believer’s hope is not built on the world’s volume — it’s built on God’s character. Staying positive is not pretending everything is fine. It’s remembering Who holds you when everything is shaking. Grace is not just a doctrine. Grace is oxygen for the soul.   “My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness.” — 2 Corinthians 12:9

BroKen & Believing | Rev. Kenn Blanchard

The heart of this message is simple but sharp: the Christ you display publicly must match the Christ you embody privately. Jesus warned that some will say, “But didn’t I heal in Your name?” and He will answer, “Away from Me… I never knew you.” The danger isn’t in failing publicly — it’s in performing publicly while failing privately. Matthew 7:22–23

BroKen & Believing | Rev. Kenn Blanchard

Family, if you live long enough, you learn something: Life does not move in a straight line. It moves in cycles — emotional cycles, spiritual cycles, generational cycles, historical cycles. Solomon looked at the world and said: “Generations come and generations go… the sun rises and the sun sets… the wind blows… the streams flow… what has been will be again.” (Ecclesiastes 1:4‑9)   He wasn’t being cynical. He was being honest. He was telling us that life repeats itself — and if we don’t understand the cycles, we will misinterpret the seasons. Some of you are in...

BroKen & Believing | Rev. Kenn Blanchard

Worshipping God the Way You Are Wired Scripture Focus: 1 Chronicles 16:4–7, Psalm 73 Introducing Asaph   We often think worship only happens when we sing on Sunday mornings. But true worship is much larger than a musical style or a church service. It is a lifestyle of honoring God using exactly how He built you. In the Old Testament, King David established a massive worship operation for the Ark of the Covenant. He did not just hire random volunteers. He appointed a man named Asaph as the chief worship leader. Asaph was not just a singer; he was a leader, a writer, and a visionary. Like...

“More Than You Can Handle” — The Truth Behind the Misquote - episode 86 show art “More Than You Can Handle” — The Truth Behind the Misquote - episode 86

BroKen & Believing | Rev. Kenn Blanchard

The phrase “God won’t put more on you than you can handle” is not Scripture. It’s a comforting cliché, but it’s not a biblical promise. The Bible teaches something far more honest and far more hopeful: God meets you in the moments that exceed your strength. Most people are misquoting -  1 Corinthians 10:13 — but that verse is about temptation, not suffering.  God provides a way of escape when you’re tempted.

How Often Do You Thank God? (84) show art How Often Do You Thank God? (84)

BroKen & Believing | Rev. Kenn Blanchard

A message about gratitude, witness, and the courage to live your faith in the open. “Gratitude Has a Rhythm” Some people thank God like it’s a reaction. Some thank Him like it’s a routine. But the believer is called to thank Him like it’s a lifestyle.   Thanksgiving is not what you do after God blesses you — it’s how you live because He already has.

BroKen & Believing | Rev. Kenn Blanchard

The power of Psalm 23:4 is not in the valley, not in the shadow, not in the fear — it is in the through. You are not stuck. You are not abandoned. You are not finished. You are walking through with a God who refuses to leave your side.

BroKen & Believing | Rev. Kenn Blanchard

Psalm 71:9 — “Do not cast me away when I am old; do not forsake me when my strength is gone.”   "There is a loneliness that doesn't come because you've done anything wrong. It comes because you've lived long enough. The children have grown. Friends have moved away—or passed away. Retirement has changed your routine. The house is quieter. The phone rings less often. And somewhere along the way, a man who spent decades taking care of everyone else discovers that he is sitting alone with his thoughts. The hardest part is that good men rarely talk about it. They keep mowing the lawn....

Romans 10: 13 for “Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

14 How then will they call on Him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in Him whom they have not heard? And how will they hear without a preacher? 15 How will they preach unless they are sent? 

 

Just as it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who [a]bring good news of good things!”

  • Do you believe in God?
  • Do you trust Him
  • Have you confused traditions and our culture over faith in God?
  • Then Change 

 

For believers, another way to think of it is that faith is aligned with your belief in God, while culture is aligned with the practices of the people within your faith.

Trusting God, in whom he sent you, in what he kept you from, your power, your untapped power 

How do you prove to someone that you trust them?  You test them. 

DO YOU BELIEVE.

Matthew 10:8

Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.

Mark 11:23

For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.

DO YOU BELIEVE. 

Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. Jame 2:19 

 

Do you believe? 

 

Love,
