  Key Points Spiritual discernment was described as the ability to distinguish truth from error, good from evil, which cannot be found with natural eyes but only through seeking God through the Holy Spirit. Prayer was identified as essential for spiritual growth, with Wayne explaining that it opens doors to spiritual insights, growth, and gifts that can be awakened or refined through consistent prayer. The sermon referenced Matthew 13:14-15, highlighting how people's hearts can become hardened, preventing them from truly hearing God's message and being healed. Wayne shared personal experiences about struggling with prayer, including his battle with sleep apnea that makes consistent prayer difficult, yet emphasized the importance of trying despite physical limitations. A key message conveyed was that Christians should pray not only for themselves but increasingly for others, using their own experiences as a foundation for how to pray for people facing similar challenges.

  Outline Summary 1. Introduction: The Nature of Kindness and Forgiveness Kindness compared to warm soup: comforting but not solving everything. Ephesians 4:32 emphasizes kindness, tenderness, and forgiveness in Christ. 2. Forgiveness as Freedom Grudges = heavy backpack of bricks; forgiveness = dropping them and regaining joy. Conflict likened to spilled coffee: messy but manageable with kindness. Forgiveness transforms battles into wisdom and strengthens relationships. Forgiveness is releasing, not pretending; opening a window to let fresh air in. 3. Love, Patience, and Humility 1 Corinthians 13:4–5 highlights patience, kindness, and humility in love. Love without patience is like driving without fuel. Challenges couples face: impatience, pride, comparison, and lack of kindness. True love stretches us beyond selfishness and builds unity. 4. Forgiveness and Patience as Partners Colossians 3:13 teaches bearing with and forgiving others. Forgiven...

Faith serves as a spiritual sense that provides evidence of the spiritual world where God lives, emphasizing that believing in Jesus leads to seeing rather than the reverse. The story of blind Bartimaeus from Mark 10:46-52 was presented as an example of persistent faith that leads to healing, demonstrating how faith can overcome physical limitations. When lacking spiritual vision, people tend to seek worldly attention and validation, but active faith in God roots identity in Christ rather than external sources. Parents were encouraged to lead by example in their spiritual lives before expecting obedience from their children, and to continue praying persistently despite ...

Key Points A scripture reading from 2 Peter 3:14-18 was shared, emphasizing the importance of spiritual growth, steadfastness, and avoiding false teachings. The sermon series titled "Milestones" was explained as focusing on spiritual growth and development in faith, with this being the final message in a five-part series that began on July 13, 2025.

Introduction: God’s Blueprint for Harmony God designed men and women to complement, not compete. Metaphor: Two musical instruments tuned for harmony, like a lock and key crafted by the Master. Genesis 1:27 as the foundation for male and female distinction. Question: If God intended sameness, why create two models instead of one? God’s Design for Men Core need: Respect —essential for a man’s soul as oxygen is for lungs. Roles: Leader, protector, provider. Effects of respect: Confidence, growth, strength. Without respect: Loss of drive, like a balloon without helium. Ephesians 5:33—command for wives to respect husbands. Illustrations: Car without fuel. Tree by rivers of water. God’s Design for Women Core need: Love —vital for her heart as sunlight is for flowers. Role: Nurturer, bringer of beauty and life. Effects of love: Security, joy, flourishing spirit. Without love: Emotional withering while appearing fine outwardly. Colossi...

  Introduction: Light Reveals Purpose Purpose in relationships is like finding your shadow in the dark — it requires light. Light comes from: God’s Word — “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” (Psalm 119:105) People reflecting God’s goodness. God’s guidance is compared to a glowing arrow in a movie theater — it leads you to your “seat” next to those you’re called to love. Knowing You’re Not an Accident Every part of your story matters, even the painful chapters. God uses your experiences to help you show compassion. “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.” (Jeremiah 29:11) Life is like a GPS — even wrong turns are “recalculations” that bring you to people who need your testimony. Purpose in Small Acts of Love Purpose often appears in unnoticed acts of kindness. “Inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you...

Sunday, August 10, 2025 w/Pr. Jose Key Points Holiness should be evident in all aspects of a believer's life, including digital communications, social media presence, and business dealings, as stated in 1 Peter 1:15. The importance of integrity in everyday actions was emphasized, noting that Christians should not engage in dishonest behaviors like theft or misrepresentation. Believers should strive to represent God through their conduct, avoiding negative behaviors like division, pride, and unnecessary conflict within the church community. Temptation serves as a monitor of character strength rather than something to be prayed away, with personal responsibility emphasized over blaming external factors. The mind was identified as one of the most powerful resources God has given believers, with the principle that "wherever the mind goes, the heart follows." Four types of knowledge of God were outlined: intellectual knowledge (gained through study), experiential knowl...
