What If They Do Get Healed?

What If They Do Get Healed?: Reposturing Our Hearts

 

Most of us have asked the question, “What if they don’t get healed?”—but in this message, Frankie flips the question: “What if they do?”

Drawing from stories in Scripture and his own life—including the miraculous healing of his mom—Frankie challenges us to let the Bible shape our expectations again. Too often, we let past disappointments, logic, or tradition shrink our faith. But what if the God of the Bible is still doing what He’s always done? What if He really is that willing, that powerful, and that good?

This message is a call to shift the posture of our hearts—not to hype up miracles, but to stop settling for less than what Jesus promised. If He still heals… are we ready to believe it? Are we ready to be part of it?

The Power of Resurrection: Living a Life of Hope and Faithfulness

This message explores the practical impact of Jesus' resurrection on our daily lives. It's not just an Easter story, but a present reality that should define us.

Drawing from 1 Corinthians 15, Ephesians 1, Philippians 2, 1 Thessalonians 4, and Daniel 12, the message connects the resurrection to Christ's ascension and promised return, urging listeners to embrace a life of faithfulness and confident hope.

This challenges believers to surrender to God's transforming power, overcome hopelessness, and live as witnesses to the resurrection. The core message: live a life that reflects your belief in the risen Christ and find comfort in the promise of His return.

The Witness of Enoch

In this message, we look closely at the life of Enoch—not just as a figure in scripture, but as someone whose quiet, steady walk with God caught heaven’s attention. Drawing from Hebrews, Genesis, and Jude, we explore what it means to live a life that is genuinely pleasing to God—not through striving or performance, but through faith, devotion, and consistency. This is not a call to do more, but to become more rooted in who God has made us to be. Enoch’s story invites us to consider what kind of legacy we’re building, how we carry ourselves in the everyday, and whether our lives reflect a deep, internal leaning into the pleasure of God. We were honored to have guest speaker JC Alzamora with us to share this timely word.

Posture & Participation

In this sermon, Mica-el explores the importance of how we position ourselves spiritually and actively engage in God’s plan. Drawing from Psalms 68:6 and other scriptures, he highlights that the church is not just a place we attend, but a spiritual family where we are shaped and transformed. True discipleship requires more than passive attendance—it involves fully participating in God’s purposes and living out His kingdom in every area of life. This message challenges us to embrace our role in the family of God and engage deeply with His vision and mission.

Appointing Elders in the Church

In this powerful sermon delivered during the appointment of elders, Bob Gladstone draws from the book of Acts to emphasize the biblical model of church leadership. He explores the apostolic ministry of Paul, particularly his experiences in Lystra, where Paul was stoned nearly to death but miraculously got back up, aided by the gathered disciples. This imagery serves as a foundation for understanding the role of the church as a community that surrounds, supports, and strengthens its leaders.

Bob challenges modern concepts of leadership by contrasting worldly models with the biblical vision of eldership. Elders are described as mature, parental figures whose authority is rooted in spiritual maturity and service, not in hierarchical power or political maneuvering. The sermon stresses the importance of leaders being formed within the church community, where their character can be observed, tested, and affirmed.

The message culminates in the significance of appointing elders who are not only capable of leading but who embody the values and spirit of the church they serve. Bob calls the congregation to recognize that the true strength of the church lies in its collective identity as the body of Christ, where leaders and members alike are united in mission and purpose.

As the sermon draws to a close, Bob invites the church to surround the newly appointed elders in prayer, symbolizing the community’s role in their ongoing support and the shared responsibility of living out the gospel together.

Our Inheritance in God

In this sermon, Daniel Mironichenko delivered a powerful message centered on "Inheritance." He explored the profound spiritual inheritance we have received through Jesus Christ, based on Psalm 16:5-8 and Ephesians 1.

 

Daniel emphasized that our inheritance is both personal and communal, made possible by Jesus' sacrifice, which secured it for us. He highlighted that our inheritance is a revelation of grace granted through faith rather than unbelief.

 

He outlined five key aspects of our inheritance:

 

1. His Presence: We receive God Himself through Jesus and the Holy Spirit.

 

2. His Word: His promises are embedded in His Word.

 

3. His Nature: We are given the right to become children of God, evolving into His character and forming a divine community.

 

4. His Story: We are integrated into God's grand narrative and can draw strength from the faith of those who came before us.

 

5. His Kingdom: Jesus passed the Kingdom to us, and we are called to manifest this Kingdom in the world around us.

 

Daniel concluded by stressing the importance of our inheritance with Ephesians 1:3-14, pointing out that we are not only recipients of this inheritance but also a significant part of God's grand plan for glory. This inheritance isn't just a gift; it signifies that we are, in essence, God's own inheritance.

The Apostolic Charge

In this message, David Popovici draws our attention to Paul’s final charge to Timothy. Emphasizing the urgency and weight of Paul's words, David encourages believers to remain steadfast in their mission despite hardships and opposition.

With a call to preach the Word in season and out, David challenges us to embrace our calling with unwavering commitment, focusing on eternal rewards and maintaining integrity in ministry.

This message serves as a reminder to lock into our divine purpose, keep our eyes on the eternal, and faithfully carry out the mission entrusted to us.
