Agape Christian Fellowship

Pastor Bryan brings a message from the belly of the whale, so to speak - as the mercy and grace of God is put on display. 

The original Title to this message was "Living With Hope in a Divided Nation," but as the preparation went on it emerged into something else entirely. Pastor encourages the Body of Christ to remember that we are Ambassadors for Christ, representatives of the Kingdom of Heaven and the chief end of our lives is to glorify God.  We dare not join ourselves to darkness beause of any issue or political position. We must remain faithful to our calling. Challenge for living in a divided, profane culture. 

Pastor Bryan brings a very practical and exhortive message from the book of Hebrews. Grow up! Good Stuff to build you up in the faith. 

The Prophet Isaiah declares of the Lord, "My ways are not your ways and my thoughts are not your thoughts." In imparting important lessons regarding the spiritual skill of "higher thinking," Pastor Bryan Gantt encourages us to remember that God's thoughts are much higher than ours, as high as the heavens.  

Lessons from Lot - Pastor Bryan Gantt brings some important and challenging teaching from the Scriptures regarding the dangers of spiritual compromise. 

Our study of the great doctrines of the Apostle's Creed has brought us to Christmas morning and the great truth that Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit and Born of a Virgin.  Pastor Michael brings the first part of a two part message entitled, "Born of A Virgin" in which he answers an important question. "What Difference Does It Make?"  The truth of the Virgin Birth is one of the most basic beliefs of the Christian Church and important with regard to our view of the authority of Scriptures. This podcast also includes several minutes of our worship time. 

When David's sin with Bathsheba was exposed by Nathan, there was something else exposed - David's heart. His response to the revelation of his sin caused him to repsond to God as a man who was after God's heart.  His sin was exposed in 2 Samuel 12, but his heart was revealed in Psalm 51. Psalm 51 is the prayer of a guilty man, caught in his sin, and broken hearted - not because he got caught, but because he realized the full depravity of his own heart. David sinned when he called Bathsheba to his bed, but he was renewed when he pleaded for the Holy Spirit to come to his side and give him a new heart, a renewed spirit and a fresh start. Pastor Michael Gantt shares from his heart about the heart of David. Will YOU be a man or woman after God's heart?

Sunday, December 4 - Dr. Paul Jehle, our weekend guest brings a powerful message on the dual identity of the Church, the Ekklesia. We are the Bride of Christ AND a Holy City; emphasizing our vertical relationship to God and our horizontal minstry to our neighbors. Powerful teaching from a man with a prophetic message for this generation 

 Saturday, December 3 - Dr. Paul Jehle blessed Agape Christian Fellowship by teaching on the subject of the ministry of Intercession. He teaches that we are not simply petitioners, asking God to bless us and ours - but intercessors who stand before God on behalf of our families, our neighborhoods, community, and nation. You will be challenged and encouraged by this deep, deep teaching; "The Cost of Intercession".

Pastor Bryan Gantt continues in our series of teachings based upon the strong doctrinal statements of the Apostles Creed. Last week, he dealt with the difficult subject of Hell. But toay, we look in a different direction as we declare that "Heaven is Real!"
