You and cannot live on another’s faith in Jesus – With regards to faith, “God has no grandchildren”, only His Children; therefore, your Salvation can only come from your faith and not the faith of others.

As David’s praise tells us in Psalms 103:13: “As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear Him.”.

Jesus said that He would one day judge the world. How you respond to Jesus, in your life, will determine how you are judged.

Therefore, you should share the Word of the Lord with people that you know. However, when you discuss the Gospel with those you know well, you are often inhibited and constrained.

MESSAGE SUMMARY: The people, in God’s Judgment articulated in Malachi 3:5, are the people of God. These people are not the unbelievers; these are the people that say they are following God. Malachi 3:5, articulates those transgressions, including the absence of a “fear of the lord”, in which God: “will draw near to you for judgment.

The Apostle John, in John 1:1-5, points out that Jesus, the Word, was the Creator of the Universe: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

The central theme revolves around the profound idea that 'to live is Christ,' as expressed by the Apostle Paul in Philippians. This isn't just a lofty concept, but a practical approach to every aspect of our lives. We're challenged to view our circumstances, relationships, and even difficulties through spiritual eyes, recognizing that being in Christ gives us a new...2025-05-0325 minDaily Devotional By Archbishop Foley BeachDaily Devotional By Archbishop Foley BeachMalachi 4 Tells Us God Takes Care of His Own and that Those Who Wait Upon Him and “fear my {God’s} name” Will Not Be DisappointedMalachi 4 Tells Us God Takes Care of His Own and that Those Who Wait Upon Him and “fear my {God’s} name” Will Not Be Disappointed MESSAGE SUMMARY:  Isaiah, in Isaiah 64:3,8, says that God is the awesome God who created everything: “When you did awesome things that we did not look for, you came down, the mountains quaked at your presence . . . But now, O LORD, you are our Father; we are the clay, and you are our potter; we are all the work of your hand.”.

The Lord will speak to you, but sometimes it takes your listening and fasting to hear Him. For example, when Joel received a Word when the land was to be destroyed, he called a fast (i.e. Joel 1:14): “Consecrate a fast; call a solemn assembly. Gather the elders and all the inhabitants of the land to the house...2025-05-0101 minDaily Devotional By Archbishop Foley BeachDaily Devotional By Archbishop Foley BeachAre You Ready for Your Earthly Death?

In 1 Thessalonians 5:1-2, Paul writes to the Christians at the church in Thessalonica: “Now concerning the times and the seasons, brothers, you have no need to have anything written to you. For you yourselves are fully aware that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night.

Our government has set aside an annual national holiday of Thanksgiving for all Americans to offer prayers for our country; our many blessings; and our special blessings for life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. However, thanksgiving to God, for Christians, should be a lifestyle; and Jesus Followers should not need a special day to give thanks to the Lord.

This Series has pointed out some changes in our thinking needed so that we can be like “Eagles” -- to be the people that God wants and intended for us to be.

Learning to listen for and to God requires focused and "in-tune" listening in combination with a filter for all the in-life clutter that your lifestyles and culture create. As Paul tells us in Romans 10:17, followers of Jesus must listen and hear the Word from the Lord: “So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.".

MESSAGE SUMMARY:  We are so focused on earning money and other financially driven life activities so that it is easy for money and finances to become our god. Making finances “our god” violates the Second Commandment. If Jesus is Lord over all Creation, as we are told in Psalms 24:1, then: “The earth is the LORD's and the fullness thereof, the world and those who dwell therein.

MESSAGE SUMMARY:  In 2 Corinthians 3:12-18, Paul writes a complex statement that tells you, as a Jesus Follower, about the most important tool that God gives you for communicating the Gospel to others-- God lets others see Jesus in you through your life in Christ! Therefore, by living in Christ, your life becomes the most compelling argument for the Gospel – an argument that far surpasses the power for God’s Kingdom from written or spoken words. Paul’s 2 Corinthians 3:12-18 text re...2025-04-1901 minVideo Sermons by Archbishop Foley BeachVideo Sermons by Archbishop Foley BeachHe Is Risen: From Good Friday To EasterHe Is Risen: From Good Friday To Easter MESSAGE SUMMARY: This Easter message invites us to explore the profound truth that Jesus is not just a historical figure, but a living Lord.

James, the brother of Jesus and the author of James 5:13-16, succinctly describes prayer and its power for the followers of Jesus: “Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray. Is anyone cheerful? Let him sing praise. Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and...2025-03-3101 minDaily Devotional By Archbishop Foley BeachDaily Devotional By Archbishop Foley BeachTo Be a Jesus Follower, You Must First Enter the Only Door to God’s Kingdom and that Door is Jesus – the Door to Eternal LifeTo Be a Jesus Follower, You Must First Enter the Only Door to God’s Kingdom and that Door is Jesus – the Door to Eternal Life MESSAGE SUMMARY: In John 14:6, Jesus says: “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life; no one come to the Father but through me.”. In Luke 13:23-25, Jesus is asked a pivotal question; and Jesus responded: “And someone said to him, ‘Lord, will those who are saved be few?’ And he said to them, “Strive to enter through the narrow door. For many, I tell you, will seek to enter and will not be able...2025-03-3001 minDaily Devotional By Archbishop Foley BeachDaily Devotional By Archbishop Foley BeachThe Holy Spirit, God’s Personal Relationship Presence, Is Our Life’s Ultimate Counselor and Helper – the Creator of the UniverseThe Holy Spirit, God’s Personal Relationship Presence, Is Our Life’s Ultimate Counselor and Helper – the Creator of the Universe MESSAGE SUMMARY:  Your relationship with God is a continuous and not a one-time event; therefore, followers of Jesus are to be continuously filled with the Holy Spirit, as we are told in Acts 2:3-4: “And divided tongues as of fire appeared to them and rested on each one of them.

We examine His pre-incarnate existence, His claims to divinity, and the historical responses to these claims. The Gospel of John provides key insights, particularly John 1:1 and 1:14, emphasizing Christ's eternal nature and His incarnation. As we reflect on Jesus' 'I am' statements, we're confronted with His bold assertions of equality with God. This message challenges us to consider our personal response to Christ's identity.

This narrative from Luke's Gospel reminds us that God's timing is perfect, even when it seems delayed. As we reflect on Zechariah's initial disbelief, we're challenged to examine our own faith in the face of seemingly impossible promises.

While we are forgiven of our sins, we are instructed to confess our sins (1 John 1:9) because this “confession” is for us – it is so that we might be healed and renewed in the Holy Spirit.

These foundations have allowed this country, in the past, to be blessed by God; to be civil; to be protected; and to be successful as a nation. In the times of Jeremiah, the nations of Israel and Judah were having their problems. The people w...2020-07-1525 minDevotional Videos by Archbishop Foley BeachDevotional Videos by Archbishop Foley BeachIf You Need the Gift of a “Counselor” and “Helper” in Your Life, then You Need the Holy Spirit”MESSAGE SUMMARY: Are You Filled with the Holy Spirit? (Highland Chapel; Chattanooga, TN) God provides us with His incredible gift of the Holy Spirit – God Himself who comes to us in His presence, in the third part of the Holy Trinity, as the Holy Spirit. As we follow Jesus in our daily lives, it is difficult to be “filled with the Holy Spirit” as we are instructed in Ephesians 5:18: “And do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery, but be filled with the Spirit,". When we believe in Jesus the Christ as our Lord and...2019-09-3001 minDevotional Videos by Archbishop Foley BeachDevotional Videos by Archbishop Foley BeachIf the Holy Spirit Has You, then Jesus Is Your Life’s Priority and Lord of All Your LifeMESSAGE SUMMARY: The Upper Room Part 1: The Promise of the Spirit (Apostles Anglican Church; Knoxville, TN) John 14 is one of the Bible’s foremost explanations of the Holy Spirit for us and our lives. The context of Jesus’ explanation is that Jesus is on His way to the cross. In John 14:23,36, Jesus is helping the Apostles and us to understand the Holy Spirit that is being sent to us by God as a gift for the followers of Jesus: “Jesus answered him, ‘If anyone loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him...2019-09-0801 minDevotional Videos by Archbishop Foley BeachDevotional Videos by Archbishop Foley BeachBe Strong & CourageousMESSAGE SUMMARY: Be Strong & Courageous (Commencement -- Reformed Episcopal Seminary; Oreland, PA) We have been equipped, as God told Jeremiah in Jeremiah 29:11-12, for God’s purposes in our lives: “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will hear you.". In Joshua 1:9, God commands us to be strong and courageous because He is with us.

(Highland Chapel; Chattanooga, TN)MESSAGE SUMMARY: Are You Filled with the Holy Spirit? (Highland Chapel; Chattanooga, TN) Today, the world, along with all of us, needs to be renewed with a fresh outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Pentecost, initially, was about: people being filled with the Holy Spirit; people received Spiritual gifts; and people witnessing for Jesus. On this initial day of Pentecost, Peter stood up and preached a sermon. Afterwards, he was asked: “What must we do to be saved?”. Peter responded in Acts 2:38-39: “And Peter said to them, ‘Repent and be baptized every one of you in the na...2019-06-0901 minDevotional Videos by Archbishop Foley BeachDevotional Videos by Archbishop Foley BeachJesus’ Promise of BeliefMESSAGE SUMMARY: Jesus’ Promise of Belief (St. Thomas Anglican Church, Athens GA) Important questions were asked by Jesus in His several appearances after His Resurrection. Jesus, knowing the Apostle Thomas’ disbelief without physical evidence of His Resurrection, in John 20:27, asked Thomas to feel His wounds. Afterwards Jesus asked Thomas the implied question of Thomas’ “belief” and who Thomas believed that Jesus was; and Thomas answered with an answer that has resonated throughout the centuries: “My Lord and my God!”: “Then he said to Thomas, ‘Put your finger here, and see my hands; and put out your hand, and place it in my...2019-05-3001 minDevotional Videos by Archbishop Foley BeachDevotional Videos by Archbishop Foley BeachThe Differing Perspectives on Life and Death: Steve Jobs and JesusMESSAGE SUMMARY: Steve Jobs was a Billionaire, at his death; and he was the founder of Apple. Jesus is the Christ (Messiah) and, as God, the Creator of the Universe. From his death bed, Steve Jobs wrote his perspective on his life in comparison to his impending death. Earthly death is a fact which we all must face. On the other hand, Jesus gives us his perspective on human death, earthly life, and Eternal Life (John 11: 25– 26): “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives...2019-05-2603 minDevotional Videos by Archbishop Foley BeachDevotional Videos by Archbishop Foley BeachAm I Ready to Pray? (Grace Church; Bude, Cornwall, UK)MESSAGE SUMMARY: Am I Ready to Pray? (Grace Church; Bude, Cornwall, UK) Through our prayers, we can be an important part in what God is doing in the world; in our lives; and in our families – we can have an impact. Prayer is: 1) spending time with God – acknowledging God’s presence in all our lives’ activities; and 2) conversation with God – listening to and talking with God. Prayer reflects on our relationship with God. Why don’t we pray? In James 4:3, we are told: “You ask but do not receive, because you ask wrongly, to spend it on...2019-05-0201 minDevotional Videos by Archbishop Foley BeachDevotional Videos by Archbishop Foley BeachPerspectives on Life and Death: Steve Jobs, Creator of Apple vs. Jesus, Creator of the UniverseMESSAGE SUMMARY: Steve Jobs was a Billionaire, at his death; and he was the founder of Apple.

MESSAGE SUMMARY: We are bombarded with news reports, today, about death in all forms and from a multitude of sources -- our earthly culture, today, is a culture of death. This Holy Week and this Easter Day, God gives us the means of Grace and the Hope of Glory for Life.

He Has Risen Indeed!!MESSAGE SUMMARY: Today, millions of Christians have gathered to celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus the Christ. Why do most Christians take Easter and the Resurrection so seriously? Christians believe that the Crucifixion and Resurrection, as a fulfillment of God’s New Covenant for our Salvation, are real. Jesus said to Martha in John 11:25-26: “Jesus said to her, ‘I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die . . .’”.
