Living Faith - Sermons Living Faith Bible Fellowship

If we are going to move beyond spiritual mediocrity, we must take the essential step of "cleaning house" in our lives, those things which detract from the Lord's preeminent place. As we make those necessary changes, we begin to experience spiritual flourishing.

Though spiritual community and relationships are essential to our spiritual growth, we need to cultivate our direct and personal reliance on the Lord through the practice of solitude. God is calling us into a quiet and restful relationship with him, which is how we gain increased confidence in his ability to deliver us from the many things that threaten our faith and our lives. Practicing sacred solitude helps us to feel that keenly and genuinely.

Our brother Luther Fleury blessed us with a sermon on the spiritual discipline of fasting. When seeking God, fasting is either 1) used to cultivate humility or 2) performed organically out of an inner state of lowliness and/or godly sorrow. It is all at once, a tool, a response, and a sign, that reinforces our ongoing reliance on God.

Despite having ample evidence and knowledge of the power of prayer available to us as believers, why do so many of us fall short of the prayer life that God wants to have with us? Rev Rob Weyand explores King David's prayer example shown to us in the Psalms as we continue our "Grow & Discern" sermon series.

It is normal for followers of Christ to find themselves in difficult circumstances, but it is also normal for God to deliver them out of those circumstances. Biblically we see this is one of the ways he proves his commitment to his people. In this sermon, Pastor D shows us how earnest prayer is God's prescribed way of unleashing his deliverance presence and power.

In our latest Grow & Discern sermon, Pastor D looks at a problem many of us struggle with: anxiety. Though it is a common problem, it can also be a soul-threatening problem. The Lord does not intend for us to be bound up in excessive and debilitating worry. His prescription for anxiety is prayer. Prayer in anticipation of our being heard and answered - prayer that is a spiritual balm to the heart and mind.
