"Today we talk about salvation!" Just for the afterlife, or for life here on earth? Is it sufficient for those with a hard heart? What role does it play in our plans, how about God's plan? Reading scripture can be fruitful, but only if it's connected to Salvation. This and more in today's sermon.

Today, Bishop Fred Makka from Uganda proclaims, "Fathers don't run away from their families!" Launching from the first commandment with promise, Exodus 20:12, we hear of the responsibilities of children to their fathers and fathers to their children. Best of all, we hear of the love of the Great Father for all!

Exhausted? Busy… all the time? Struck, at times, with the cares of all the things around you, good and frustrating? What does it mean to be in this life? What is life? In the midst of these questions, what does God have to do with any of it? Today, come to Life!

Today, Pastor Paul expresses the timeless truth that following God's plan is "better together." There are things spoken by God that only come from the brothers and sisters of our community. Yet, what is community? Furthermore, what does that community do after receiving from God? Who are their neighbors?

What does it mean to be filled with the Holy Spirit? Consider those who wait until they are filled with the Holy Spirit and then they are powerful witnesses. Using the account of Peter from Luke's gospel, Pastor Josh points the believer to the great yearning of God's desire that we maintain a continuous infilling of His Holy Spirit - the power with which to do His Will, that is to love others, not in our strength, but with His.

Tune in today for testimony on this Day of Pentecost. The Holy Spirit of God is loving and this is evident in each personal declaration of healing, boldness, and response! Oh! God is good, fun, and exciting. Enjoy.

Acts 2: 1-13 gives us the details of that first Pentecost. Despite all that is going on with these ancient brothers and sisters, as they wait on Jesus’ promise, they were in one accord! What cost is to pay for this same passion today?

Linda Phillips and Connie Maxon share their hearts of hope and personal testimony to instill mothers with confidence to persevere in all ways. Drawing on Lamentations and Luke, all mothers can be hopeful that their prodigal children will return, and that by living a genuine Christ life we declare a powerful witness to our kids' own Faith! Peace, and Happy Mother's Day.

Special speaker, Pastor Dago from Cuba proclaims Christians are people who walk in fire! Translated by Pastor Sam Larkin, be encouraged and emblazoned by this word of God!

We are all called to be holy. We are labeled by God after we receive Jesus, thus we become holy. This is not synonymous with perfection. Enter the puppy. Consider the ways, or pitfalls, of a puppy. Contrast these ways with the ways of Jesus, the Holy One Who made us His holy one!

Continuing in a second part to the previous week, Pastor Josh tackles the heart of behavior instead of Jesus. With best intentions in mind, lines are drawn and rules are placed in the name of God, but without the heart of God. Listen to this two sided encouragement and caution.

There are ways the impurities can enter into the lives of Christians and disrupt what God wants to do. Listen to this sermon that encourages us to go deep, being watchful of such thorns, as we are truly led by the Holy Spirit. Even when that leading takes you to your fellow brother or sister in correction.

Consider this vision: a group of connected congregants committed to Christ’s body, locally, regionally, and globally. Doing stuff together, not to be busy, but because of the expression of love for one another and God. In this we go far, together.

How would our life change if we lived with Resurrection revelation deep in our hearts? Would we forgive that person who insulted us, even when they don't admit fault? Would we shoot down our right to get offended when we are genuinely hurt by another? What death can be overcome with the Life of Jesus? Listen and be challenged.

Listen now to challenge your own perspective on what the Father would like to do in both the region you live, and through you. After all, Luke 24:21: The disciples thought, and wanted, the Kingdom of God to appear immediately. Crowds of people felt the same! “Save us now, I pray” they cried. Yet, Jesus’ salvation was already at hand. It just didn’t look like what they expected.

Mark 1:9-13. Jesus is baptized and then immediately driven into the wilderness. The Holy Spirit drove Him there... why? Listen now and hear of our Savior receiving the Father's love, consecration, and anointing.

"What does it mean for me to walk with God?" Every person has to ask this question at some point.  The abundant life answers this question in the deepest sense WITH Jesus, not without.  Sometimes when we look in the mirror, we look at our outward appearance and begin to think life is about those imperfections.  Instead, drag this mindset into Jesus' presence and listen to what He is saying.

Spring boarding from the Revelation of Jesus Christ, the House of God is commissioned to destroy the dragon of Satan's works by loving people with abandon as Jesus loves the world.  In the simplest way, put aside the pacifier of "time sucking" wasters and engage the Heart of God.

Like droplets shedding from a person who rises from Baptism waters, so the old man is shed from the Believer.  This old way can still be tempting, however, like a delicious looking cookie.  Yet, eating of this dessert only invites trouble.

Covering some in-house business first, our pastor reviews the recent building referendum and offers all the congregation to operate in the Fruit of the Spirit as to the timing of the project.  Following that is an electrifying message on serving God, not Mammon!

Considering historical context, Jeremiah dives into the story of "Jesus and the woman at the well."  You may blow through this passage in 5 minutes, but when you understand the context of this passage in greater detail, then you uncover the treasure of God’s word!  Listen now to refresh on key bits of knowledge on the trip through Shechem.

With utmost honor to the Holy Spirit, Pastor Josh delves into putting Jesus first over all others, including our family.  When we put Jesus first, he makes a way for loving our neighbor, even when our family members have been wronged.  So, join us on the tail end of a Baptism Sunday for this tough but necessary word on loving others as Jesus intends.

From house business to preaching on revival, tune in this week for an exciting Word on facing conflict, loving others intensely, and walking out the very same example of Christ for the world!

Opening with Prophetic testimony on the heels of powerful worship, Pastor Paul, exhorts the Body to be vulnerable in the presence of God. Following this, we are challenged to serve people and respond to the upward call.

Continuing with the four rewards, we dive in with Help and Guidance. God helps us and calls us to help others. (Is 58:7) Likewise, the Spirit of Truth has been promised to guide us in all things. Wherever you may be feeling that you are confused or overwhelmed, He is the One that reveals deep and secret things. Tune in now to hear more!

In fasting, there's a wonderful promise of His reward. As we seek the Lord, pressing in, rewards flow. His mercies rain down upon us. Listen to this first, of two, messages on the power, blessing, and rewards of fasting.

Enter into 2024 ready for Immanuel! Praise God for this past year’s highlights including salvations, deliverances, and God overcoming diseases and health afflictions. New jobs, and job switches! Small groups explosion and church growth. On the list goes to tell of the various growth we’ve experienced this year. What’s it all for? Us with God. He has always wanted to be with us, and this growth is at the heart of that desire! God with us and us with God.

Merry Christmas! Listen today to the message of faith, hope, and love. The SAME message of the coming of our Savior, Jesus Christ. The faith of Mary, the hope of the Believers, and the love of God. Then, after listening; receive, believe, and become the Body of Christ. Peace on Earth and good will to all people.

God with us. He desires to be with us and us with Him. Listen today and be reminded of this important message - that the God of the universe loves us greatly. As He comes to us, so we go to others, as His body, ever reaching forth with loving care, concern, and compassion for our fellow man.

We are Airport Christian Fellowship. Each part of our name is commissioned by God. Tune in today to hear more about what plans God has in store for the people of ACF and those who pass through the doors.

Join us for an informational message from Pastor Josh that loves on this House of God by sharing all the good things that God is doing in the church. This is not a typical message, but be informed and receive life in this chapter of growth.

The Author and Finisher of our faith sits down at the right hand of God waiting for His enemies to become His footstool. What does this tell us about the superiority of Jesus? Listen now as Pastor Josh expounds on sections in Hebrews and also tells of the joys of a recent mission trip to Tanzania.

Listen in on the account of Ruth as we better understand the redeeming heart of God.

Drawing parallels from his early Soldiering days, Mr. Marrow outlines the benefits and responsibilities of serving as a Christian in the Lord’s Army. Just as a Soldier receives dog tags to mark identity, so a Christian receives new spiritual life reborn for new purposes. Likewise, coming under obedience to God's commandments is similar to a Soldier obeying officers and Drill Sergeants. For the Christian, this is Pride’s undoing.

REST! Burdened with an intercessory heart, Pastor Josh delivers a simple, yet powerful, word to be at peace. The body of Christ may be rife with strife at times, and we all need rest. Jesus desires to sit down in our hearts, in a place of rest. Consider this important message, to come unto Christ to find that rest, rather than anything else.

Do you mourn? Graves in our life create places of mourning. Loss of people, broken situations, or failed expectations can all lead to mourning. God desires to turn our mourning to dancing. Be challenged today to revisit such places and allow God to turn those graves into gardens.

What is bondage? How can a person get Free? Can a Believer in Christ even be in bondage? Tap into today's part two of Freedom Weekend where these and other questions are challenged out.

What is Freedom Ministries? Is freedom instant or ongoing? Is there an open access to Jesus in every area of your life? Consider these questions as Pastor Mikki, via personal testimony and scripture, encourages us to no longer be entangled with the yoke of bondage. (Gal 5:1)

Leaven makes its way through the whole lump. As it does, so does our human reasoning. Consider this message as Pastor Josh wakes us up to relying on the Holy Spirit instead of the leaven of our own reasoning.

In this episode, listen as Pastor Paul lays the positive foundation for expectancy while alerting us to misaligned expectations.

Communion and reverence are hand-in-hand. Jesus gave us this example in John 13 with washing the feet of 12 disciples, demonstrating deep respect for Our Father and one another. Included in this brotherhood were ones who would wrong Him. Listen now and be encouraged to do likewise with all those around you. Be in communion with reverence.

Listen this week as Pastor Paul shares the value of stepping into life with one another. Using Acts 2:42 as the foundation for fellowship, Pastor outlines joys of sharing life together. There may be conflict, if so, engage in love. There will be vulnerability; confession brings healing. There will be fellowship; break bread, pray, and continue steadfastly with one another. In all of this, it's better together.

This week Pastor Josh takes us to 1 Cor 11:17-22, the most extensive discourse on communion. The key to this passage is for Apostle Paul to correct myriad divisions among the church body so that unity flourishes. Now, listen to the Word as you consider your heart and the unity among those around you.

Listen as Pastor Josh links the wonderful words of Acts 15 with that of communion.

Better together. "If the church exists for anything, the church exists to be the body of Christ. [Christians] are to share in the life of Jesus in coming together as parts of Him to manifest His glory on the Earth." Listen to this vital word on the importance of forming or being a part of a small community of Believers!

Returning for part two, of a three part series, we hear of mercy in the mud. Using personal testimony of God’s mercy in his own life, Shane identifies with the account of Jesus writing on the ground while religious accusers threaten to stone a harlot. Listen now that in all of life’s mud, there is God’s mercy.

Beginning with communion commission and encouragement, Pastor Josh and Pastor Paul launch us into this sermon’s focus - vision. “Vision is God’s good pleasure being done in this region, just as it is in Heaven. Vision, when you have it, causes you to see something that is not there yet.” Listen now to the rest of this message, part four of Pastor Josh’s series on Taking the Land.

“It is your God given destiny to DO what HE wants you to DO.” Consider this declaration from Pastor Josh. “We get so caught up in the situation… yet we want to take the keys the Father has given us and not think! we have the keys that He’s given us.” Listen now, as Pastor Josh expands this proclamation.

Consecration, according to Pastor Josh, is "receiving in my heart my identity as sacred to God, and therefore living life as sacred to God." Today, Pastor Josh outlines, through personal testimony, what it means to lay self down by the intimacy and Grace of Jesus. The time for consecration is NOW!

Grace is a "broad spectrum" word. It covers a lot of things. Hear then how you may be a scoundrel, today, but you are closer to God than you think. By His Amazing Grace, repentance, faith, and closeness to God is right at your door!
