Blessed Life Fellowship

Last week we discussed what God does when a child of His is bearing no fruit.  But what does He do when His children are bearing SOME fruit but could be bearing a lot more?  Well, it's probably not the method that most of us would prefer, but it's very effective, and ultimately results in significant growth and a life of fruitfulness for those who recognize what's happening and submit to the process.  This teaching might just radically change your life, so buckle up.  

John chapter 15 has some of the most memorable words from Jesus' Last Supper sermon.  Here we arrive at Jesus' instructions about the importance of bearing much fruit, and how that is accomplished.  Yet many people settle for lives of much less than abounding fruitfulness because they misunderstand and thus reject God's ways of bringing it about.  Prepare to be equipped for increase!  

Continuing with Jesus' last teaching to His disciples, we now grapple with the warning that in this life we will have tribulation, but to take heart.  This teaching addresses five more ways we can more readily experience the peace that only God gives.  

In a world where 1 in 5 people in the U.S. now suffer from chronic depression, is it possible to experience the peace of God?  In His Last Supper sermon, Jesus told His disciples, "Peace I leave with you."  In this teaching you will learn several principles that will help the Christ follower experience the peace of God that surpasses all understanding.  

Continuing with the theme of the Holy Spirit, pastor Andy provides four more ways the Holy Spirit leads and speaks to His people.  In doing so, he invites Pam Hull to share some real-world experience in learning to be led by the Holy Spirit and what that looks like.  You don't want to miss this one!  

The Holy Spirit is a very under-appreciated part of God.  Mainstream Christianity practically ignores the topic of the Holy Spirit.  Yet Jesus said it would be the Holy Spirit Who He would send and enter our hearts when Jesus ascended back to Heaven.  Understanding the Holy Spirit is a vital part of walking in victory in this life.  Learn more about the Holy Spirit in this teaching, and especially how to recognize when the Holy Spirit is speaking to you.  

Jesus claimed to be God and the only way to salvation -- a claim that makes a lot of people, even pastors these days, uncomfortable because of the exclusive nature of that claim in an age when people consider truth as relative.  Learn in this teaching how we can be sure that Jesus is who He claimed to be, and how that applies to the subject of salvation.  You may have never heard it described this way before.  

Jesus addressed several important life lessons in His farewell address around the table at the Last Supper.  The second life lesson Jesus serves up to His disciples is the command to love one another.  And before writing this off as just another worn out lesson on love, one should ask if the love of Christ has been personally mastered yet.  If not, there's more to learn.  And you may be surprised how a lack of love can go unnoticed and unaddressed in the life of the Believer, leading to a stale relationship with Jesus, a lack of joy, and lackluster results in prayer.  Prepare to bear more fruit by learning about the more excellent way.  

On the night of the Last Supper with His disciples, Jesus' last message was a clarion call to discover what a life of abundant fruitfulness really consists of.  But it wasn't the call the disciples were expecting.  And it may not be the call you are expecting either.  But Jesus' words were a final message to help the disciples of that time and this to live lives that matter, lives of abounding fruitfulness for God's Kingdom.   

Because God's covenant with His people includes many earthly blessings, many people misunderstand the purpose of that covenant, thinking it's all about "ME."  But God has a purpose for inviting you and me into a covenant relationship with Him, and it's a purpose much bigger than just you and your family.  Find out in this teaching why God wants you to be a part of His covenant.  

Exodus chapter 12 provides a prophetic parallel between the first Passover and the fulfillment of Passover centuries later.  The fulfillment of Passover was and is Jesus Christ, the Passover Lamb of God.  Learn in this teaching the uncanny and fascinating parallels between the first Passover and the fulfillment of Passover, and how that should affect our lives today.  The gospel is proclaimed in this teaching, plus important marching orders for God's people.  

Most people don't understand the significance of Palm Sunday.  This teaching will probably teach you a thing or two about Palm Sunday you didn't know, and then make some application points to your life that might just change your destiny.  It's time to make room for the King!  

When discussing God's covenant with mankind, eventually the conversation must always come to the place of God's desire to bless His people.  Like any good earthly father, God desires that His children do well in life, and He has set certain laws in motion to help us get there.  Learn in this teaching six biblical principles for growing your financial estate God's way.  

A key concept discussed in this teaching is that God has always used the proposition of blessing or curses to demonstrate the benefits of walking with Him, both in this life and the one to come.  Learn in this teaching how the Covenant can benefit you in the here and now, as well as securing your eternal home in heaven.  

While the word "covenant" is thrown around a lot in our modern day church culture, few Christians, it seems, really have a working understanding of what that means in regard to their relationship with God. But understanding covenant is to understand God better, because God is a covenant keeping God!  This first teaching in the series lays the groundwork for some very exciting elements of our faith.  

BLF elder Brent Denney provides a follow up to his first teaching by providing the how-to's to walking in our Christ-delegated authority.  

Elder Brent Denney addresses a topic which most modern Christians sorely lack knowledge in: our delegated authority in Christ.  Brent expounds upon what our Biblical authority is, what's for, and how to use it.  

Many Christians struggle with a wrong self-image.  This can be due to failing to see themselves as God sees them.  This teaching will help remedy that.  A more thorough understanding of the grace of God will help to see yourself like God sees you, which in turn can help you break out of destructive mindsets and begin enjoying new life in Christ.  

Prepare to be encouraged and delighted as you get a fresh perspective on the amazing grace of God.
