God’s Purpose For the Male (Men's Meeting)

Image
Elder Dave explains God’s purpose for men and how that fits with women in His plan. God created both males and females with the same worth, and a man’s first calling is to live close to God and worship Him in everyday life. He is meant to lead like Jesus—serving instead of controlling, and mixing humility, love, and courage so his family and community can grow. Woman is given as a true partner who completes and complements man, so together they can care for God’s world under His authority. Men are not meant to live or work alone, but to walk beside others, treating them with honor as people made in God’s image. Real strength comes from staying connected to Christ and letting God’s Word shape thoughts, words, and habits at home, at work, and at church. A man is called to be faithful in small tasks, knowing only God can bring real growth. He should work to provide for his family’s needs, protect their hearts with patient love, and use words that bring peace. When men and women honor, for...

Believer’s Authority & Integrity: Aligning Self to God’s Will

Image
 🙏 Believer's Authority and Identity Authority is granted to believers over five specific areas including Satan, sin, sickness, situation, and self Control over situations and personal reactions is essential for spiritual maturity Outbursts and emotional reactions are considered disrespectful for believers who should maintain higher standards Technology and cameras are everywhere making public behavior increasingly scrutinized Personal conduct must reflect God's character in all circumstances including challenging situations Spiritual Growth and Transformation Growth requires aligning mind, emotions, thoughts, perspective, and general outlook to God's will Frustration arises when God's children show no improvement in behavior, attitude, or perspective over time God will eventually make examples of those who continue in poor behavior rather than making exceptions Scandals in ministry typically result from issues that have been ignored or swept under the rug f...

Not Just a Christian, But a Disciple

Image
  Christian vs. Disciple A Christian believes in Jesus. A disciple follows and obeys Jesus every day. Ask: “Am I just wearing the name, or really following Him?” Saved by Grace, Not by Me The Bible in Ephesians 2 says we are saved by God’s grace, not by our own efforts. I don’t earn God’s love; I receive it as a gift. Because of this, I can relax in His love and stop trying to “be good enough.” Let Jesus Change My Life Romans 12 talks about giving my whole life to God. Being a disciple means letting Jesus change my thoughts, choices, and habits. Ask: “Do my actions show that Jesus is really in charge?” Disciples Make More Disciples In Matthew 28, Jesus tells His followers to make disciples everywhere. This means I help others know and follow Jesus too. Ask: “Who am I encouraging to walk closer with Jesus?” No Lukewarm Faith Revelation 3 warns against being “lukewarm” in faith. Jesus wants my full heart, not halfway faith. A...

God's Not Done: Trusting the Builder of Your Life

Image
  Click Here for Audio (Click Here) Narrative (Detailed Notes Further Below) On Sunday, Elder Dave shared how, even after finishing his bucket list and stepping into semi-retirement, God made it clear that his story isn’t over. He painted a picture of life as a hike with God as the Master Builder and the Holy Spirit as the warm light on the path, using Scriptures like Philippians 1 and Lamentations 3 to show that God always finishes what He starts. Through images of storms strengthening trees, trials as faith workouts, and grace powering our weakness, he reminded us that every seasonincluding trophies, tears, and all is all covered in God’s fingerprints. We were invited to repent, trade our own maps for God’s GPS, stay plugged into the Spirit, and use worship and gratitude as weapons in the middle of life’s battles. As we left, the message was clear: no matter our age, past choices, or current season, we are still God’s artwork, and He is faithfully, lovingly not done with us yet. ...

Walking In Supernatural Authority With Emotional Maturity And Discipline

Image
Click Here for Audio (click here) Walking In Supernatural Authority With Emotional Maturity And Discipline Key Points (Scroll down for detail) Scripture reading from Acts 13:4-12 was presented, describing how Apostle Paul confronted the sorcerer Elymas who was influencing proconsul Sergius Paulus and struck him blind through divine authority. Every believer has the ability to operate in the supernatural, but unfortunately only a few are actually operating in supernatural power according to the speaker's assessment. Massachusetts was identified as having 70% professing Christians but also being known for aggressive drivers called "mass holes" and high incidents with restaurant waiters, presenting a contradiction between faith and behavior. Research revealed that in 2013, the satanic temple dedicated their headquarters in Salem, Massachusetts, where the witch trials took place, highlighting spiritual warfare in the region. Believers must have self-control and not wear t...

Choosing Fast Food Faith or Real Discipleship Feast Today

Image
  I. Two Kinds of Spiritual “Food” A. Happy Meal (Fast Food Faith) A Happy Meal is fun and comes with a toy. It tastes good, but it doesn’t really make you strong or healthy if that’s all you eat. This is like a Christian who: Only wants the “fun” or easy parts of church. Likes Bible stories but doesn’t let them change their life. B. Steak and Lobster (Real Food Faith) Steak and lobster are a real, full meal. They cost more and take more time, but they truly fill and nourish you. This is like a disciple of Jesus who: Takes following Jesus seriously. Is willing to sacrifice and do hard things to grow in faith. II. Two Kinds of Christians A. “Happy Meal” Christian Mere belief They believe in Jesus but may treat the Bible like just “cute stories.” Partial obedience They obey some of God’s commands, but not all. They might say, “God understands,” as an excuse to keep doing wrong. Self-convenience They follow Jesus only...

Equal in Spirit, Distinct in Design: A Biblical Vision of Men, Women, and God’s Image

Image
From the beginning, Scripture shows that the human spirit is the same in both men and women. In Genesis, God breathes life into humanity, and in 1st Thessalonians we see that we are more than flesh; we are spirit, soul, and body, made to belong to Him. The spirit needs a physical body to live and act in this world, and God chose to clothe both male and female in human flesh so that together they could bear His image on the earth. Male and female were both entrusted with the stewardship of creation. In Genesis, God blesses them and commands them to be fruitful, multiply, fill the earth, and subdue it. Dominion is not given to man alone or to woman alone, but to both together. Two distinct forms—male and female—are woven into one human calling. They reflect both the unity and diversity within God’s own heart: one purpose, expressed through two distinct embodiments. As they walk in harmony, they become a living expression of God’s love and reign, exercising wise care over the world He ma...

  Outline of Teaching: Audio - Click Here Spiritual Warfare and Demonic Opposition Pastor Tracy Burns references John Ramirez's book "Out of the Devil's Cauldron" to illustrate the dedication of demonic agents who attend demon churches from 9 PM Friday to 5 AM Saturday Ramirez describes his ability to leave his body and fly over neighborhoods to place curses on residents starting from age 10 Opposition occurred in neighborhoods where Christians were actively praying, creating resistance that prevented successful cursing missions Praying Christians formed a protective barrier that demons could not penetrate to perform their evil acts Christian Discipleship Requirements Luke 14:27 establishes that carrying one's cross is mandatory for following Jesus as a disciple Matthew 16:24 addresses existing disciples who have already made a covenant commitment with Christ Discipleship involves sacrifice and execution of one's will, requiring total dedication rather...

📝 2025-11-09 | Called, Chosen & Consecrated: Walking in Authority, Obedience & Agape Love

 📝 2025-11-09 | Called, Chosen & Consecrated: Walking in Authority, Obedience & Agape Love  Audio:  Click Here Key Points (summary further below) emphasized that God has called everyone in the room but only a few are chosen - specifically those willing to submit to His will rather than pursuing their own plans and purposes. The teaching series on believer's authority was highlighted as controversial in churches, with the assertion that God gave believers authority over Satan, sickness, self, and situations. Many believers fail to see victory because they don't understand who lives within them, and God is greater than Satan, sin, sickness, self, and any situation they may face. Personal family observations were shared about relatives remaining in the same negative conditions for 30-40 years because they have accepted their circumstances rather than seeking change through God. The speaker explained that God loves everybody but doesn't trust everybody, and gaini...
