Continuing in the Red Letters series we break into the most famous sermon ever preached - The Sermon on The Mount. It kicks off breaking into The Beatitudes. It’s crucial to know that before Jesus proclaims these Kingdom truths, Jesus demonstrates the Kingdom in power but healing all who were sick and tormented around Him. Once again, we need both! We must have a paradigm shift of what we consider “blessed” to mean and come into al...

The Apostles are doing remarkable things with great power and great grace. There’s a reverence developing amongst the community who are witnessing what the Lord is doing through them. It’s truly creating a cultural shift in the land. Everything seems to be going to another level! Even Peters “shadow” is healing the sick as he walks by! As ministry is developing there’s problems arising but then there’s answers to the problems prese...

Pastor Josiah takes us to the Pool of Bethesda where Jesus encounters a man who has been crippled at this pool for 38 years. In one encounter with Jesus, EVERYTHING CHANGED! Furthermore, there’s a deeper intention to this encounter. Jesus wasn’t just interested in a temporary healing, but an eternal one. This man, near the Sheep Gate in Jerusalem must have seen thousands upon thousands of sheep led through that gate to be sacrifice...

Right after Peter is filled with the Spirit of God, he starts ministering in such a powerful way. God is filling his mouth with incredible wisdom and boldness which is bearing incredible fruit quickly. In a matter of moment’s he’s disarming those with accusations against his message. Doing things which look an awful lot like how Jesus operated. Furthermore, this experience of being filled with the Spirit is not a one time thing. It...

Jesus reached out to everybody because He was on mission. He knew that He was the dominant influence in every relationship He had. So, when He eats with tax collectors and sinners it’s not just to enjoy their company, but rather to influence them with Kingdom impact. There was a great deal of intentionality behind it. We should expect the same. People all around you need Jesus and the ones you may be called to reach may not look li...

The Spirit of God simply took over this service. This recording was the short preaching in the middle of an intimate yet action packed gathering where the Spirit of God came through in power. People were filled with the Holy Spirit for the first time and many lingered in His presence for hours! Long after the service had ended and some had gone home. Many didn’t want to depart from what the Lord was doing. We need to live Baptized ...

There’s people in your life that God has placed there intentionally. You’ve also been placed in the lives of others intentionally. This is no accident or happenstance. God knows what He’s doing. If we can see clearly, we’ll understand that He’s intending on us to be provoke people to a relationship with Him. You may have good friends but do you have God friends? Furthermore, when adversity shows up, do you stop or do you press on w...

Jesus lived on mission. He preached and demonstrated the Kingdom of God everywhere He went while walking in obedience. He taught His disciples to do the same. Everybody is called to live like Jesus, no matter what degree of ministry they walk in. Some are called to simply minister to their families and friends everywhere they go and others have official positions in ministry within the church or on the mission field. But one thing ...

On May 6th, 1954 Roger Bannister broke the barrier of running a sub 4 minute mile. Up until that point, this feat was considered a near impossibility. Many had tried and failed for years. Once the barrier was shattered, only a little over a month later, the sub 4 minute mile was broke again by John Landy. Then it was broken again and again shortly after. It’s amazing what people can accomplish once they’re shown what’s possible. Th...

Pastor Josiah wraps up this portion of the first side of the coin, the Indwelling Work of The Spirit. When we’re saved the Holy Spirit goes to work on the inside of us, making us look and live like how Jesus did. We’re called to bear fruit that resembles the life of Christ in all things. There is a natural inclination to fight against this, the flesh, which we’re constantly waring against. The flesh is always pulling us one directi...

What you believe about Jesus matters. There could be a truth but if it’s not something that any individual specifically believes it won’t mean anything to them. Jesus told His disciples 3 different times about the his death and resurrection but they had trouble believing Him. It’s easy to see how even though He may be speaking to us directly, we may not be listening well. As it pertains to what we believe, everything rides on this ...

We’ll be known by our fruit. The Holy Spirit is producing fruit in our lives if we’ve truly yielded ourself to His work. It takes a sober mind to look at the fruit that being produced in our lives and determine whether or not we’re actually yielding to Him or not. The good news is, it’s never too late to welcome His work in our lives. Works and faith can have a happy marriage. They aren’t against each other, we just need a healthy ...

We'll explore the deep themes of the event, explore its significance, and reflect on the deeper trut...
