The Blessings of Olive Oil
In this series by Chaplain Lou, we learn that Christians are portrayed as Olives and Olive trees in the Bible and as such, are a life-giving source of nourishment and hope to the world. Most importantly, as gentile Christians, we are engrafted into the Olive Tree called the body of Jesus Christ. Jesus was crushed and bruised to provide the world salvation. Unfortunately, that needs to happen to us to provide the world with the gifts and talents God has given us. Lastly, we will also learn about the special anointing oil that was instituted by God through Moses and how it represents your gifts and the effect your ministry has on others.

The Blood of Jesus
The “Blood of Jesus” sounds like an outdated, or gross, metaphor for some ancient religion. That’s one of the reasons so many people misunderstand it’s power. It is not an ancient religion, but a powerful weapon against the forces of darkness.
The blood of Jesus frees us, justifies us, redeems us, and gives us confidence as it cleans us.
Join us as we take a deep dive into the purpose of the Blood of Jesus, why he had to be crucified, and why it’s the purest payment for our sins.
Gifts of the Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit is the most powerful ally against the forces of darkness. He is God, and He is given as a gift to believers.
But the Holy Spirit also gives gifts to the believer. Those gifts are only accessed through the Baptism in the Holy Spirit, the next logical step in your Christian walk.
The Holy Spirit himself is divided into 7 spirits which are pictures as flying around the throne of God in the book of Revelation. They settled on Jesus, and at Pentecost, they divided on the worshippers in the upper room. And those very same gifts settle on us today.
Secrets of Spiritual Gifts
The Holy Spirit is the most powerful ally against the forces of darkness. He is God, and He is given as a gift to believers. But to many Christian believers, the Holy Spirit is mystical and mysterious, and many actually fear the Holy Spirit and his movements.
We are spiritual beings, and were designed to walk in communion with God’s Holy Spirit. His purpose is to help us be a witness to the world of God’s saving grace, as well as give us strength and power to withstand the temptations and wickedness of the enemy. Further, He has given us gifts to educate and mature the body of Christ.
The Holy Spirit isn’t weird, mysterious, or something to be feared. He is a wonderful gift meant for all believers! This series will help us have an understanding of the Holy Spirit, His purpose, and His gifts.
Family Matters
Whether you come from a Christian home or a dysfunctional family, we can all agree that being a part of a family is important! Being a part of a church family is also very important and the role of the pastor and their assignment from God plays a big part in the family aspect. In this series, you will learn 6 ways to deal with being a part of a church family as well as the 3 main roles the pastor plays.
Study of Isaiah
The Book of Isaiah is one of the richest and most intricate book in the Bible. Because much of it is prophecy, it is often avoided or passed-over. But it is hugely important.
In the book of Isaiah (and in the whole Christian story), we are introduced to the idea that God is the ultimate judge of the world. God is the only one with authority to declare what is right and what is wrong in our world. We are also introduced to the idea that God is our savior – that God plans to redeem and restore a broken universe. These two ideas go hand-in-hand. They depend on each other. God is both the judge and the savior. This means that God has a plan to make all things right in the end, and that a necessary part of that process is declaring what is not yet right. This is the message of Isaiah the prophet. The judgment of God declares what is broken; the promise of God is to heal.
Join Pastor Strickland has he journeys through the book of Isaiah with us.
The Blessed Life
God desires us to have a blessed life. What does blessings mean? Unlike what so many preachers today tell us, God does not simply shower down blessings on us because we are “Christians”. In fact, it’s quite the opposite.
The truth is that a blessed life is a Godly life, a life of God’s favor and not necessarily material things. Our choices will often dictate whether or not we are blessed, or we are cursed.
Join Pastor Strickland as we find out from God’s Word how to have a blessed life.
Rewards
The Bible tells us often that the rewards for following Jesus are immeasurable. But what are the rewards? Is it Heaven? Is it jewels? Is it simply to live in the presence of Jesus? The subject could cover a year’s worth of studies. In this two-part series, Brad Lippincott breaks down a few details about what rewards await us.
How To Find That Which Is Lost
The concept is simple enough: If you lose something, start by searching where you lost it. But there are many people today roaming around looking for something, but they are too distracted or hurt by their circumstances to truly search for what’s missing.
Join Pastor Strickland for a refresher course on recovering our lost joy, peace, love, and fellowship.
Spiritual Checkup
Just like our physical bodies, our spiritual “bodies” need to be healthy. But how do we know if it is? Well, that’s why we need a Spiritual Checkup from time to time.
Join Pastor Strickland for a thorough examination of our spiritual bodies.
Loving Our Neighbor
In this day and age when politics, media outlets, and social media are doing their best to divide us, more than ever, we as Christians must choose to follow Jesus’ instruction to love our neighbor.
But what does that mean? Who is our neighbor? How do we do that? Join Pastor Strickland as we take a look at the Word and find out.
To Timothy
Paul had several sons in the faith; one of those was Timothy. Paul addressed two letters to this son and encouraged him to continue in the faith even when things were not going well. Life has many ups and downs, but God is with us through them all.
Study of the Book of James
The Book of James was written by who we believe is the half-brother of Jesus. During Jesus’ earthly ministry, James did not believe Jesus was who he said he was. But at some point, James became a believer. In fact, James became the Pastor of what might have been the very first church: the church at Jerusalem.
The Book of James was written by Pastor James with a Pastor’s heart. Some call it the Proverbs of the New Testament because it is full of short but simple and practical instructions to early believers, both at home in Jerusalem, and to those dispersed further away because of persecution. Join Pastor Strickland as he dives into a study of the Book of James.
