Intercessory prayer is prayer that’s concerned about the individuals with whom or for whom you are praying.  For example, in His intercessory prayer for His followers found in John 17, Jesus has their best interests at heart. He’s not praying to impress, He’s praying to express His concerns.  He’s praying for their needs. And He’s still doing...

When you understand that there’s significance in your suffering, that understanding will turn fear into faith. It will turn sighing into singing. It will turn doubting into dancing. It will turn worrying into worship, and it will turn trying into trusting. You will know what God is doing for you through your suffering.

Pastor Ford will remind us today that we should not let ourselves be impeded in our healing from past hurts because we want to know why someone would hurt us in the way they did.  We often ask why did they do it? We have to realize that we may never find out why they did what they did. And often people who do things to us don’t...

Pastor Ford says that faith is believing it is so, even when it’s not so, until it becomes so, because God said so.  Then when we launch out into the deep, what are we doing?  We’re stepping out in faith, believing what God has said and trusting He will go with us into the unknown.

Some churches today reject new ideas.  They refuse to break tradition and resist change, because they are repulsed by the unfamiliar.  But Pastor Ford says we have to learn to launch out into the deep!  We have to trust the Lord to begin to do some things on our behalf.  And we need Christians who are willing to sail into some uncharted waters.

As we continue to look at what it means to launch out into the deep, we’ll see that Peter didn’t understand the capacity of the blessings that Jesus wanted to bestow on Him.  That’s because he was too small in his thinking.  And because of that, he missed out on some of the blessings God had in mind for him.

As we consider the scripture passage in Luke 2, which gives a brief description of Jesus’ growing up years, we’ll see that He grew in 4 specific areas:  mentally, physically, spiritually, and socially.  And we’ll continue to learn how this is not only a description of His growth, but also a prescription for how...

As we look at what it really means to be committed to Jesus, Pastor Ford asks us to consider this question—Are we paying the price that it takes to follow the Lord Jesus Christ?  Because there is a cost associated with following Him, and it includes self-sacrifice.  Have you begun to pick up your cross, die daily, and follow...

It costs a lot to be a disciple of Jesus.  But guess what—it costs more not to be one!  Because Jesus said, “For whoever wants to save their life will lose it.  But whoever loses their life for My sake, will save it.”...

When we look at Luke 2:52, we should realize that it is not just a declaration about Jesus, it’s about the reputation of Jesus. Pastor Ford says we need to understand that the fourteen words contained in that verse are not just a description of Jesus’ life, but they’re a prescription for our lives.
