In life there are five major areas. We have broken them down into five "F" words: Faith, Family, Fitness, Finances, and Friendships. The goal is to learn how to live an integrated life in these areas so that one area doesn't pull from the other, but rather each area touches the other area and adds to it.

    The Cleansing of the Temple Part 1

    Jesus Christ here in these verses comes to the Passover and when Jesus comes to the temple He sees this awful scene. Men in the temple that were selling oxen and sheep and doves, and the moneychangers. I wonder if Christ first stood there in a little bit of confusion.  Then Jesus in all of His righteousness and holiness begins to see what really is going on. He sees that the place that back in the old testament in Isaiah 56:7 was “called an house of prayer for all people” is now being used as a “den of thieves” Matthew 21:13. Jesus begins to think this is not what I made this temple for. This is not what I desired for my house to become. I wanted prayer, praise and proclamation to be lifted up “in the house of prayer.” But instead you have turned it into a den of thieves how dare you. How dare you take that which is holy and make it unholy. How dare you take that which I Jesus Christ God of this universe have created and you make it impure. How dare you. Jesus begins to say shame on you. Shame, shame, shame on you. I can’t believe you would do such a thing.  The Bible tells us that those who are saved, that our body is the living temple of God. It is the dwelling place of the Holy Spirit. Let’s take a look at some of the scriptures in I Corinthians about us being the temple of God. I Corinthians 3:16-17 “16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? 17 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.” How do we defile this temple?

    The Fire of God in the Life of the Disciples - Part 5

    In this last message on "The Fire of God" we look at what transpired when the Disciples experienced God's Holy Presence in Acts 1-2. As the disciples prepared for the fire they set themselves apart as a way of preparation for what God was going to do in their lives. After experiencing the presence of God they were moved to go into Jerusalem. The fire of God in a persons life will always move them from the seats of the church to the streets in the community.

    The Fire of God in the Life of Elijah - "Who is Your God?"

    The nation of Israel had gone after other god's particularly Baal. In our life we have different god's that we look to find trust in, acceptance, and hope. Yes we still believe in God, but we believe that we need additional god's (without saying it that way) to truly be happy and hopeful. Listen carefully to what the Fire of God did through this prophet Elijah. You may know the story but do you get the message. "Who is God?" is the message and the message is still "Who is Your God?"

    The Fire of God in the Life of Moses

    Every time a person encounters the Fire of God it transforms who they are and it changes the direction of their life. The Fire of God is the presence of God in our lives. Moses encountered the Fire of God three different times and each time the presence of God did something different. The fire called him, lead him and changed him. Dive into the Word of God with Marvin Smith at Good News Baptist Church and see what the fire of God looks like in your life.

    The Fire of God is the Presence of a Covenant Keeping God

    God is a Covenant Keeping God! When you experience the covenant that God has made with you your life will be transformed knowing that He keeps all of His covenants. He is not a contract God but a covenant God. He will always perform His part. Even if you fall short He is still faithful. Lean into this covenant God and experience freedom in this life. The Fire of God - Encountering the Presence that Changes Everything Hebrews 12:28-29  Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear: For our God is a consuming fire. “The fire of God is the visible manifestation of God’s Holy Presence.”

    The Fire of God is the Presence of God

    Three Elements For The Fire of God The Fire of God - Encountering the Presence that Changes Everything Part 1 Fire is something that is so fascinating. I have always enjoyed sitting around a campfire and literally just watching it burn. The way that it changes colors depending on the heat of it and the way the flames moves upwards toward the sky. Hebrews 12:28-29  Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear: For our God is a consuming fire. “The fire of God is the visible manifestation of God’s Holy Presence.” If the fire of God is the presence of God then we must remember “a persons relationship with fire (the presence of God) determines much of the outcome of the fire (the presence of God).  The Fuel - for the fire of God is A Surrendered LifeThe Heat - God’s Word and the Holy SpiritThe Oxygen - Prayer, Worship, and Dependence

    Satan's Desire Has Always Been To Destroy The Family of God

    Satan is real and his desire to destroy your family and the family of God is very real. In this message Marvin Smith gives biblical instruction on how to be sure to not let the Family God has built be torn down. 1 Peter 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:  The plan of Satan has always been to destroy the Family. From the beginning, Satan has not primarily attacked governments, systems, or economies-he has targeted families, because families are where identity is grounded, authority is established, and multiplication is accomplished.  Learn how you can prepare your heart, home and church to stand against the attack of Satan in these areas of life.

    The Faithful Man - David the Hidden Life The Public Calling Part 8

    What has happened in David’s life so far: Been Anointed as KingDefeated GoliathSurvived Saul Hunting HimRuled the Souther Kingdom of Judah for 7.5 yearsUnited Israel’s Divided KingdomEstablished JerusalemFallen into sin with Bathsheba Restored back into fellowship with God Today we will finish the life of David. Yes he will die, but what we want to focus on is how did David live after He was restored.  David came to realize how magnificent God was after he realized how sinful he was and how forgiving God is. The depth of our realization of our sinfulness should determine the depth of our service to the King, love for the Lord, and sacrifice for the Saviour. The greatest evidence of restoration is not simply that God forgives us—it is that we begin living for SOMEONE bigger than ourselves. After David’s greatest failure, the remainder of his life wasn’t about making a name for himself. It was about preparing the next generation to worship God.  Far to often we spend much of our life accumulating things, building a kingdom for ourselves, and seeking comfort for our days. This morning we will see 5 key things that David did to prepare the next generation to worship God and how we can do them too. You see This life that we live now is not meant to be lived for ourself but rather it is to be lived as a sacrifice to God and a service to others.  5 Ways David and Us Can Prepare the Next Generation
