    Does God Ever Withdraw His Favor?

    Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Mar 15, 2022
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,249 views

    There is a belief in the church that when a Born-Again Christian sins or walks in disobedience, God withdraws His favor and blessings to punish them.

    This belief is rooted in the Old Testament, where a relationship with God was conditionally based upon behavior. The Hebrew words translated as ‘favor’ are ‘ratson’ and ‘ratsah.’ The word ‘ratson’ is translated as favor, goodwill, acceptance, desire, pleasure. It most often represents God ...read more

    Three-Dimensional Faith

    Contributed by Dennis Lee on Jan 17, 2017
    based on 7 ratings
     | 14,148 views

    This sermon deals with the three dimensions of our faith from Isaiah's vision of the Lord found in the King James Version of Isaiah 6:1-9, "Woe", "Lo," and "Go." This can also be looked upon as the dimensions of confession, cleansing, and commission.

    Three-Dimensional Faith Isaiah 6:1-9 I grew up my whole life under the Protestant wing of the faith. My family attended the Methodist church as I was growing up. I came to know Jesus as my Savior and Lord while attending an Assembly of God home fellowship. Later I attended an Assembly of God ...read more

    Bottom Line: Joy flourishes when Christ is exalted, even in the face of hardship.

    Last week, we began a new series through Paul’s letter to the Church at Philippi. The Book of Philippians shows what it means to live with defiant joy. And here’s what I mean by that: “defiant joy” is a joy that stands firm regardless of what life throws our way. Even in his imprisonment, Paul ...read more

    Finger pointing, the act of pointing out others faults or to place blame on someone else. This is nothing new to our society, and started out in the Garden of Eden, where Eve blamed the snake for tricking her, then Adam blamed God for giving her the woman who caused him to disobey God.

    Pentecostal power comes when we recognize: 1. The Christian life is not about keeping rules, but about knowing Christ. 2. The Christian life is not just about salvation, but about transformation. 3. You overcome apathy with zeal.

    John Wimber was a product of the Jesus movement in the 60’s. He met Christ in a dramatic way, and began reading the New Testament, beginning with the Gospels and then on to the book of Acts. He was excited about what he was reading, but when he went to a church he was disillusioned. The polite ...read more
