INCREASE: Increase The Reach Pt. 3

INCREASE: Marks of Maturity

We are not to stay as baby Christians, although that's where everyone begins their Christian life. As we grow up into Christ, there will be markers along the way that indicate whether or not we're going in the right direction. And since we are all members of one another, our individual growth, or lack of it, will have a definite impact on the growth of the entire body.

INCREASE: Standard of Measure

In order to measure growth, there must be a standard of measurement. That is not only true in one's natural life, but in their spiritual life as well.  As Christians, we should be continually maturing and the "measuring stick" of growth is not our spouse, our sponsor, our friends or ever our leaders, but it is the fullness of Christ Himself.

INCREASE: Increasing The Reach Pt.2

INCREASE: Honoring The Lord

How do you respond to increase in your life when it comes? According to Solomon, sandwiched right between increase and abundance is the issue of honoring the Lord and that’s the very place that many Christians “drop the ball.” Listen to today’s teaching and learn how honoring the Lord with everything He puts in your hand will lead to a life of fullness and overflow.

INCREASE: Increase The Reach

You Have Found Favor With God

When the angel Gabriel appears to Mary, he tells her that she was blessed and highly favored. The statement troubled her, and he continued to tell her not to be afraid. We can sometimes be fearful of God’s favor also, thinking we don’t deserve it – and ultimately, we don’t. But, because of Jesus’ perfect obedience and our relationship with Him, we inherit all that He deserves. The Apostle Paul would later echo Gabriel’s words to the church at Ephesus, telling them that they too were blessed and highly favored in Christ.

From Fear To Faith: Your Prayer Is Heard

There are four separate instances in the Christmas story that the angel Gabriel tells someone that they are not to fear. In today’s teaching we look at the story of Zacharias and Elizabeth and see how God hears our prayers, remembers them and ultimately answers them. If you’ve been praying and believing God for something; no matter how long it has been, don’t give up.
