Blessed Life Fellowship

Did you know there is a purpose in praise and worship other than just expressing our love to God?  Praise and worship is prophetic in nature, and it's also a spiritual weapon of warfare by which we silence the enemy and enforce the victory already purchased by Jesus on the cross.  Find out how this is so, and why your praise is more powerful than you ever imagined.  

The first teaching in this series focused on the ATTITUDES of thanksgiving, while this second teaching in the series focuses on the ACTIONS of thanksgiving.  In doing so, we take a deep dive into the Hebrew to discover the many expressions of praise and worship that God has ordained for us to express our gratitude to Him.  This may challenge your modern day Americanized notion of what worship is, but if we can learn to worship in a Biblical way, it can help us to offload our burdens onto the Lord and allow Him to give us peace even in the midst of life's storms.  

Many people underestimate the power of thankfulness in their lives.  This teaching exposes three subtle areas where people overlook unthankfulness, and provides a blueprint for the proper mindset that will help in walking in thanksgiving and the powerful benefits that can bring.  

Replacement Theology is a teaching in some circles of the Body of Christ suggesting that Christians have replaced the Jews, and that Christians are the real Jews now, and there is no longer any relevance to Israel.  There are several problems with this idea, and some potential consequences to those who hold this view, notably that they miss out on the benefits of blessing Israel according to Genesis 12:1-3.  You will learn in this teaching how God's hand is still on the nation of Israel, what the Bible has to say about God's attitude toward the Jews, and why we as Christians are wise to align our hearts on this subject to God's heart.  

Indiana Bob visits Blessed Life and gives a powerful message about walking in greater power and fruitfulness in order to advance God's Kingdom.  Bob has led over 2,000 people to the Lord, mostly in personal encounters.  This is an important learning opportunity for greater fruitfulness.  

In this final installment of our Build an Ark series, we once again address the issues of learning how to manage one's finances according to the Biblical model so as to protect one's estate from loss and collapse.  In doing so, we address the most important motives and goals in handling our finances, as well as three incorrect mindsets regarding money.  Pastor Andy also shares more of his financial testimony.   

Continuing with our theme of God being our refuge in troubled times, this teaching kicks over some sacred cows regarding how the Bible tells us to view and handle money.  In doing so, we deal with 7 things God did NOT say about money in the Bible.  And when we can arrive at the place where we have the proper attitudes and practices regarding money, then we can enjoy the promises of God regarding our finances and be sheltered from the storm.  

Certain experts in the financial arena as well as the prophetic realm have been predicting a financial holocaust coming to the U.S.  And while such a holocaust looks inevitable by some standards, there are principles and promises in the Bible that can insulate God's people from such calamities.  This teaching is a protracted discussion on those Biblical financial principles for protection and prosperity.  And in doing so, we play a little church version of Wheel of Fortune, along with a testimony at the end.  You may have to take off your religious tradition glasses for this one, so hang on!  

Part of God's covenant of protection with His people is practical instruction on how to walk in health.  In this teaching we examine 7 biblical pillars of health, as well as little-known facts about modern western medicine.  

Science has demonstrated the power of our words through a branch of science known as Quantum Physics.  This concept is consistent with the Biblical perspective regarding the power of the decree for the people of God.  This teaching shows from both science and the Scriptures that our words matter, that they have the power to shape our realities, and they can be a part of how we build ourselves an ark of protection in this dangerous world.  

There are a lot of prophecies and predictions being made these days regarding the shaking that's coming to this nation and world.  Well, that's nothing new.  Calamity, danger, disease, and trouble have been a part of this world since the Fall.  But we can build an ark, figuratively speaking, of protection against much of the trouble and calamity in the world simply by understanding what God's Word says about His covenant of protection for those who love Him, and how to access and operate in that covenant.  Prepare to be encouraged!  

Bill Compton explains what integrity means from a Biblical perspective -- not just a cultural one -- and the importance of this vitally important fruit of the spirit.   

God never promised us that we wouldn't face storms in life, but only He would help us navigate through them.  In this teaching, BLF elder Brent Denney takes us on a journey of storm navigation.  

"CO-EXIST," proclaims one often-seen bumper sticker.  It carries the idea that all religious orientations essentially teach the same basic lessons and that all paths lead to the same God.  But do all paths lead to God, or only one?  What does the Bible say?  What did Jesus say of Himself in this regard?  All that and more is covered in this important teaching to equip you to address this issue.  

Francis Bacon once said, "A LITTLE science estranges a man from God, but a LOT of science brings him back."  And that is what we deal with in this teaching in addressing the various problems in the earth age theory of billions of years and the numerous holes in evolutionary theory.  The age of the earth and the origin of life on earth are addressed in the Bible, and science properly interpreted is beginning to show the reliability of God's Word in this regard.  

Many people today believe the Bible to be a storybook of fairytales, an ancient document full of errors and not relevant to our lives today.  However, discoveries in archeology and science confirms the accuracy and divine origin.  In this teaching, we delve into dinosaurs in the Bible, creation vs. evolution, the resurrection of Jesus, and several other questions about the Bible's accuracy.  If you have ever had questions about any of these things, this teaching is for you!  

This session addresses: "What about people who have never seen a Bible or heard about Jesus;" “People just need to find the path that seems right to them;" "Being a good person is what really matters;" and "How can a loving God send anyone to hell?"  

This part 2 session in the series provides more information to help you address objections to the Christian faith and evangelize more effectively.
