Sermon by Jentezen Franklin : There Is Hope at Liberty & Church Streets

We have to understand that it took a great deal of sacrifice to get us our liberty!
We have freedom in Him because of all He sacrificed on the Cross!

1) When Liberty and Church streets intersect true freedom is discovered!

True freedom is not about being able to do anything and everything you want to do. True freedom is discovered when you have the true freedom fighter, Jesus Christ, in your life. Then and only then will you get ultimate freedom!

"So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed." John 8:36

2) When Liberty and Church streets intersect you will have to make a decision.

You will need to pick between Christ and the Liberty you think you have. When you pick Christ, death will have no dominion over you! You will transition in to life!

"For sin shall no longer be your master, because you are not under the law, but under grace." Romans 6:14

"Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?" 1 Corinthians 15:55

3) When Liberty and Church streets intersect God's will is your will.

Your heart will desire His heart's desire! You will take up your cross and follow Him!

"Then Jesus said to his disciples, "Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me." Matthew 16:24

4) When Liberty and Church streets intersect you live life according to scripture.

Life according to scripture is surrendering it to God and laying it down for another's sake!

"For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it." Matthew 16:25

Sermon by Jentezen Franklin: Refuse to Pretend

Be a Contender not a Pretender! 1) The time Jacob labored to get Rachel was nothing to him because of how much he loved her. Similarly when you love God all the sacrifices you make are nothing..if you truly love Him that is! "So Jacob served seven years to get Rachel, but they seemed like only a few days to him because of his love for her." Genesis 29:20 Rachel is his first Love..She is representation of Jesus and His Love where as Leah is the substitute ..not the real one. Rachel is the one where as Leah is the second option..not the best! Leah is Religion where as Rachel is Relationship with Christ Leah is Survival where as Rachel is Revival 2) Do not be Pretenders but Contenders "Dear friends, although I was very eager to write to you about the salvation we share, I felt compelled to write and urge you to contend for the faith that was once for all entrusted to God’s holy people."Jude 1:3 Do not be like people who come t...

"Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful." Hebrews 10:23 Teach me until I am broken no more, feed me until am hungry no more! I am Holding on to You!! Today I encourage you to hold on to Him, the Faithful one who won't let go of you even if you let go of Him! Hold on to the one who has you in His hands, to the one who numbered every stand of hair and all of your days!! I have seen His miracles in times of my storm by just choosing to Hold on to Him!!! Stay Blessed<3

When the Music Stops...

Hey Friends, I am trying to honour my commitment to make at least one blog post a month, so here goes July. That being said, please know that I am not posting for the sake of posting. I am trying to cultivate an active listening skill when it comes to each topic I share i.e. I will not post until I am convinced I heard from my heavenly daddy. I hope this is one speaks to you. :) When the Music Stops... This marks the first time I talk about my hubby-to-be on this blog. This man is a Gem! He is a true worshipper, a man after God's heart. He also happens to be an anointed worship leader :) I am not saying that because I love him, I promise. The reason I bring him up though is because one of the very many conversations we have had about music is a good illustration to the point I will make later in this post. He mentioned that it is common practice amongst some parents to hide their kids' musical instruments closer to exam seasons in the hopes of helping them focus...
