When we realize that a fellow believer is trying to earn their salvation by obeying rules, we need to emphasize for them the freedom that they have in Jesus Christ. We should encourage them to not let anyone bind them or limit their freedom, by having them do things that the Bible doesn’t tell them to do. So, join us for today's Treasured Truth to find out what it means for our brothers and sisters in Christ to “oppose themselves” as believers.

On today's Treasured Truth, as we continue to consider the three-fold appeal we find in Galatians 4, Pastor Ford will explain that surface level Christianity robs us of our greater power to be able to live the Christian life. And the greater power we are seeking doesn’t come through obeying rules. Rules are not the end. They are the means by which we reach the end goal, which is always greater fellowship with Christ.

As we begin a new study in Galatians on today's Treasured Truth, Pastor Ford will ask us how far will we go to help a brother or sister who has strayed from the truth of the Bible.

Believers who backslide don’t need our judgment. What they really need is our love. And love doesn’t expose sin. Love covers it. And on today's Treasured Truth, Pastor Ford will help us understand that’s what people need. In Luke 22:31, Jesus told Peter that he was going to backslide and fall. But also Jesus said He had prayed for Peter, that his faith would be strong. So, following Christ’s example, we should pray for and encourage our brothers and sisters who are struggling.

Do you know anyone who could be considered a “backslider”? If so, what have done about seeking them out and drawing them back to the Lord? On today's Treasured Truth, Pastor Ford will ask us, “Who have you gone and snatched back from the Devil—someone who really belongs to God?” He suggests that instead of saying, “Well, the Devil’s got them now…” We should go get them! Because they don’t belong to Satan.They belong to God!

When you join us for today's Treasured Truth, we’ll be starting a new study that will help us consider how to reach out to help those who have fallen away from the Lord. But we have to be very careful, because there are those of us who are so much like the self-righteous Pharisees, that whenever somebody falls, instead of picking them up, we step on them, or we talk about them. Instead of picking them up, we disregard them and don’t show them love. Pastor Ford will let us know how to avoid being one of those types of self-righteous believers.

On today's Treasured Truth, Pastor Ford shares a story about how God wanted to remove fear from his life. And God knew the way to do it was to put him in a situation where he had no help but the Lord Himself. And, because Pastor Ford has been able to look back on that situation, he’ll explain how, from that day forward, he’s never been scared.

In Psalm 23 we read, “Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I’ll fear no evil.” But how could David say this, when his enemies wanted to kill him? Because he knew that God was with always with him. And on today's Treasured Truth, Pastor Ford will explain that just like David, we can overcome our fears knowing that God is always with us, so we don’t ever have to be scared.

As we start a new message series on today's Treasured Truth, Pastor Ford will ask us to consider how the friends of the paralyzed man in Mark chapter 2 carried him directly to Jesus so he could be healed. In the same way, we should never let anyone or anything stop us from getting to Jesus those in our lives who need Him. Hear more about this important responsibility in the lives of believers on today's Treasured Truth.

On today's Treasured Truth, we’ll discover how to overcome fear and anxiety. Pastor Ford will explain that when we really know Who God is and we don’t just talk about Him, but we also walk in the realization of Who He is, then we’re in a good position to overcome any fears we may face. Because when we’re rightly focused on God, that’s when we never lose sight of Who God is and what God can do in, through, and around us. To learn more, join us for the next Treasured Truth.

Sometimes we just need someone who will tell us like it is. We need someone who will just get up in our face and tell us stuff, especially the hard stuff that we don’t want to hear or even talk about. We need them to disciple us. On today's Treasured Truth, Pastor Ford will tell us about the man who did these things for him and discipled him when he first became a follower of Christ. To hear about the difference discipleship made in Pastor Ford’s life, join us for today's Treasured Truth.

When we join Pastor Ford for today's Treasured Truth, he’ll ask us to consider these questions—What are people learning from our example at our church? Are new believers who are getting saved and coming to our church learning from us and the other members of our congregation? We’ll hear more about the process of discipleship and just how important it is in the life of the church on today's Treasured Truth.

On today's Treasured Truth, we’ll continue our current series on the process of discipleship. Pastor Ford will ask us to consider the importance of discipleship, but not at the expense of salvation. He’ll explain that salvation shouldn’t be minimized or relegated as something that is not important. But it’s just the beginning, not the end. And so, we need to understand that discipleship is like taking a step further beyond salvation.

On today's Treasured Truth, as we continue to look at discipleship, we’ll consider the fact that when people met Jesus’ disciples, they knew that those men had been in the presence of Jesus Christ. It was evident to those they encountered because of the lifestyle they were living and the message they were giving. And that’s because Jesus had discipled them. He accomplished what He wanted to in the lives of those men through discipleship. To hear more join Pastor Ford for today's Treasured Truth.

On today's Treasured Truth, Pastor Ford will challenge us to seek understanding of how our problems and pain can be motivating factors in our lives. As we go through difficulties, those circumstance can motivate us to lives in the “not yet,” right now. In other words, we can focus right now on the hope we have in our future with Jesus, instead of dwelling on our current situation. Gain some encouragement and deeper awareness about your problems and pain when you join us for today's Treasured Truth Weekend.

On today's Treasured Truth, Pastor Ford will continue to help us understand the process of discipleship. He’ll remind us there are people in the church who are not mature believers. But if you are mature, then what’s your job as a believer? Your job is to become a disclipler. As we dig further into 1 Corinthians 4, we’ll see that it says mature believers should be discipling those who are less mature and making sure they are firmly rooted in the truth of God’s Word so that they’re not shaken by every wind of doctrine that comes along.

On today's Treasured Truth, we’ll begin a new study on the process of discipleship. As Christians, we are all called to make disciples. But how do we know that we’re being effective in our discipleship? Pastor Ford will explain that we know we’re effective when we have a fourth-generation disciple, who we are helping to grow in the Lord. Find out more about what it means to disciple generationally when you join us for today's Treasured Truth.

When you join us for today's Treasured Truth, Pastor Ford will remind us that God’s resources are reserved for those who fulfill His responsibilities. So that means our provision has to be linked to God’s purpose. And the problem is that many of us want the provision, but we don’t want to accept and follow His purpose. Hear the conclusion of the message “Are You Going to Do What God Calls You to Do?” on today's Treasured Truth.

On today's Treasured Truth, Pastor Ford will continue to explain the importance of doing what God calls us to do. There are times when we will lose out on the blessings of God, because we don’t have enough faith to put all of our trust in the plan He has for us. But then there are times when we place only part of our faith in His plan, and God still chooses to bless us fully. Ultimately, how God chooses to bless us, when He chooses to do it, and how much He chooses to bless us with, is really all up to Him.
