Life In the Spirit

In this episode of Life in the Spirit, Pastor Jay Tyler continues the I Am series with Jesus’ powerful words from John 11:25, “I am the resurrection and the life.” Pastor Jay unpacks how Christ brings life in the midst of loss, hope in the face of death, and victory over the grave. This encouraging word reminds us that eternal life begins the moment we believe and that in Jesus, even what seems dead can live again.

 In this first message in the series, we begin with Jesus’ bold declaration: “I am the Bread of Life.” What did He mean by that? Why did He say it to a crowd hungry for more than just food? In this episode, we’ll uncover how Jesus meets our deepest spiritual hunger and why only He can truly satisfy our souls. Let’s dig in and discover what it means to feed on the Bread of Life.

The resurrection, a present reality, offers seven powerful benefits: forgiveness, victory over death, Christ’s lordship, eternal life, daily living power, living hope, and new life. Pastor Jay Tyler challenges us to see resurrection power beyond the future. In John 11, Jesus declares, “I am the resurrection and the life,” offering new life now through the Holy Spirit. Are you experiencing newness of life?

Welcome to Life in the Spirit! In this episode, we continue our series, Where There Is Vision, by exploring how God’s plan and purpose for our lives align with the mission of the Great Commission. Jesus didn’t just give us a task—He gave us a vision for transforming the world through the gospel. When we embrace His call, we discover that His mission is our purpose.

In this message from our "Where There is Vision" series, we explore Paul's vision of the man from Macedonia in Acts 16. This pivotal moment wasn't just about direction—it was about divine calling and obedience to God's mission. 

God has a plan and purpose for your life, but the biggest obstacle is often ourselves. When we surrender our own desires, we can see, understand, and walk in God’s preferred future. Vision is the ability to perceive His plans and step forward in faith. It all begins in Christ—where we truly get out of our own way.

In this episode of Life in the Spirit, we explore the incredible power of corporate prayer as seen in Acts 12, where the early church interceded for Peter while he was imprisoned. This passage reminds us that when the church prays together, miracles happen, strongholds are broken, and God’s purposes prevail.

Jesus’ prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane stands as a powerful example for all believers. In the face of overwhelming pressure and distress, He prays with deep humility and complete submission to the Father’s will, showing us the heart of true surrender.

In this inspiring episode of Life in the Spirit, Pastor Jay Tyler unpacks the parable of the persistent widow (Luke 18:1-8). Discover the power of unwavering faith, persistent prayer, and the assurance that God hears and answers in His perfect time. Be encouraged to pray boldly, trust deeply, and never lose heart.

King David wrote Psalm 51 as a heartfelt response to his sin, offering a timeless example of genuine repentance. This powerful psalm serves as a model prayer for believers—a prayer of confession and restoration. Repentance, however, is not merely a one-time act at the moment of salvation. It is an ongoing spiritual discipline, essential for deepening our relationship with Christ and aligning our hearts with His will.

Paul prayed three times for God to remove the thorn from his flesh, but God replied, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” This reminds us that God may allow difficulties for a purpose. When we pray, we should align our requests with His Word and trust His perfect timing, knowing His grace sustains us through every challenge.
