Pastors Ralph and Pamela Hale (Fathers Heart Ministries)

What is this generation like? How do we see it?How does God see it? Every generation has similarities and uniqueness. However, every generation has the same opportunities and challenges. In this message, we take a closer look at what we ought to see rather than what we are tricked into seeing.

The centurion recognized the authority Jesus had.He, himself, was a man of authority, under authority! The religious leaders of the day had authority. They knew who gave them that authority. Yet, they ask Jesus, who gave you what you have? It is "this" authority we must know and where it came from.

While there are many who preach we can not be perfect, the Bible says different. The Word of God commands holy and perfect as God is. We are all called to grow up mature into complete Christ likeness. This message will challenge us!

We are given the great commission by our Lord Jesus. However, few take the carrying out this seriously. Our lives are to be built upon the foundation of Jesus Christ. What we build must be after His image and example. In this message we are challenged to get up, get going and build!

We all are very good for settling for less when we could have the best. Jesus came to reveal the Father: His nature and love. It was love that carried Jesus from conception to the cross, to hell and then return to the Father for us! It is the best love!

There is a lot of talk these days about the coming antichrist. There is also as much or more about the coming of Jesus Christ. Both have a kingdom. Jesus admonished us not to look for his kingdom with outward show, for His kingdom is within. The other kingdom will appear with many manifestations and illusions, We must not be deceived by what we see, for the real kingdom of Christ is in us!

We who profess to be christian hold a common faith, that is that we have asked Jesus into our hearts.However, does he possess and fill every area of our hearts and lives? Our deepest yearning and prayer must be that Jesus be allowed and invited to go deeper, much deeper into our hearts. This is where He becomes Lord of All!

The church has gone through many changes over time. However, the church established upon Christ the Rock! It is established upon the truth of God's Word and stands strong and sure forever! This message will help reconnect you with our roots and grow strong again. The power is here!

We live very fast paced lives for sure. In our pursuit of money, things, career, relationships, etc. we need to make sure and pursue God first and foremost. David pursued God's heart.Because he did, he fulfilled all God's will, was exalted and received eternal covenant promises! Wow! This is available or us too!

Being born again is great! However, it is not the end, rather the beginning. Along the way in our growth, we need spiritual water, the Spirit to help us. One sows, another waters, God giveth the increase. Water must be drawn from the well, the river of God. When done with joy, it becomes strength to us.
