Agape Christian Fellowship

In this Podcast, Pastor Michael Gantt explores the wonder and power of the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.  The church at Agape has chosen to celebrate the Passion and Resurrection on the actual date of the Feasts of Passover and Firstfruits on the dates accorded by the Biblical calendar rather than the legal calendar which made us a full month after the celebration of Easter. We do this in a continuing effort to separate the church from the pagan celebrations that honor false gods. 

Pastor Bryan continues his previous message theme. Last time we looked at Running for the Prize. This week the title of his message is "Eyes on the Prize." 

With some help from a special visitor from the Book of Exodus, Pastor Bryan brings an important message for Communion Sunday. Adults and children alike especially enjoyed a visit from Moses himself.  Laughter did abound and the truth of God's Word pierced our hearts. 

Pastor Bryan Gantt delivers a powerful message dealing with the issue of the fruit of the Spirit, "self-control".  Great word, practical teaching, and very usable, applicable instruction in walking in the Spirit. 

In his message on March 13, Pastor Bryan Gantt presents a powerful teaching in which he draws a clear line of demarcation between the pagan holiday of Easter (Isthar) and the Christian celebration of the Feast of First Fruits and the Passion and Resurrection of Christ.  This teaching directly challenges idolatry in the church from which we are called to repent. 

Both a fun-filled and encouraging message from Pastor Bryan Gantt from the story of Esther. You'll enjoy learning about the sovereignty of God. Nothing in the life of the believer is left to chance - there is an all powerful, over-seeing, God who sits on the throne and orders our steps. Be blessed by this word. 

As we continue to walk through the Sermon on the Mount with Pastor Michael Gantt, we come to what Pastor calls "the most misquoted and mis-applied scripture verse in the Bible. "Judge not lest ye be judged." (Matthew 7:1)  Carefully walking us through the context in which this passage is found we discover that not should we judge, we are commanded to make righteous judgments within the body. 

Pastor Michael Gantt continues in his study of Matthew 6 as Jesus continues to present a Kingdom Manifesto. After he teaches the disciples to pray, he gives good counsel in three pieces - "Don't Show Off", "Don't Invest Unwisely," and "Don't Worry Needlessly."  

Pastor Michael Gantt presents the Lord's Prayer in a more Kingdom Minded light than our normal memorized recitation in which the Lord's Prayer is often repeated.  Asserting that Jesus was the ultimate Kingdom-Minded prayer warrior, Pastor expands our understanding of what Jesus meant when he said, "When you pray, pray after this manner. "

Pastor Michael Gantt and Pastor Bryan team up for Communion Sunday with the message "Get in the Ark". First there is an amusing visit with the children from a fellow by the name of Noah, who recounts his adventure in building the ark. There are some audio glitches in the first few minutes, but they are corrected as Noah (Pastor Michael) gives his version of the Ark and the Flood.  Pastor Bryan follows up with a meditation leading to the Lord's Table. Go ahead and give a listen. Good Stuff!
