Pastor Jerry Laudermilk Audio PodcastMoral Decline - October 11, 2020Our nation is in moral decline... only the church can change this. What's your part?“Wicked leaders are not only the cause of moral decline, but the result of moral decline. They not only bring the judgement of God, but they ARE the judgement of God. We can blame the leaders all we wish, but a nation brings decline, and thus judgement, upon itself. We choose our path, we choose our leaders, we choose our fate.” -Pastor Jerry R. Laudermilk, Jr. Today's Sermon Date: October 11, 2020

Pastor Jerry Laudermilk Audio PodcastVision: Seeing SpirituallyDescription:As born again believers in Christ, we SHOULD ALL be able to at least see the “Kingdom of God“. Yet most, if not ALL, of us need to see the Spiritual realm far more clearly than we do. We miss it because of our distractions in the natural realm. What is seeing the Kingdom of God? How can I see spiritual things more clearly? In the sermon series Vision 2020, pastor Jerry delves into the subject of seeing Spiritually and gives some insight as to where we, together, are headed as a church.

Sometimes it feels as if we’re having a one-way conversation with God; we speak only to wait and wait and wait – straining in an effort to identify even a whisper in response. We begin to question if we’re doing something wrong, lacking faith, or even if God has forsaken us. The truth is, God is NOT lacking; yet, just as we have an expectancy from God, He has an expectancy for us. Our relationship with Christ requires a foundation of selflessness, obedience, and wholehearted pursuit. It’s time that we evaluate our actio...

Prodigal -- one word encompassing what appears to be two contrasting illustrations. In actuality, these two images run parallel to one another with a unique correlation: grace.When looking at the Prodigal son, we often fail to see the character of the Prodigal father. Sometimes unconditional love looks reckless. Extravagant giving may appear careless. Overflowing graciousness might look wasteful... But we were once mirror images of self-indulgence until someone with extravagant love and graciousness said, "Come home."

Pastor Jerry Laudermilk Audio PodcastYour InfluenceThe capacity to cause change is inside of you. In our day to day lives, every decision that we make is either influenced by others or has the potential to influence others. Actions reflect authentic character; you will live out what you really believe to be true. We have the potential to cause an eternal impact. Expanding influence, diminishing it, or wasting it is up to you. Listen to Your Influence by Pastor Jerry Laudermilk for more on this topic!
2019-06-0238 minPastor Jerry Laudermilk Audio PodcastThe Urgency of Our PurposeUrgent, pressing, calling for immediate attention. The world is in desperate need of the purpose that God has given you. Finding your purpose in the Kingdom of God dissolves complacency, and offers humility. Your role has the potential to leave a legacy of love and mercy; a legacy that has dual citizenship on Earth and in Heaven.As we persevere through trials, exemplify His love, and urgently proclaim His unwavering character, we find true intimacy with and better reflect our Creator. Do not delay, someone is counting on your obedience to God.
2019-05-2653 minPastor Jerry Laudermilk Audio PodcastHonest to GodJacob was a notorious deceiver -- even his name, something he responded to daily, convicted and reminded him of his past. Alone with God he cried out in desperation, "I will not let You go unless You bless me!" In one encounter, desperation can turn into destiny. Jacob, who the world once saw as a schemer, was renamed Israel-- Prince with God. The world may call you by your mistakes but the One who created you calls you by a new name. God wants for you to admit what you have been so...
2019-05-1945 minPastor Jerry Laudermilk Audio PodcastTragedy to TriumphIn this second message of the Easter season, preached on Easter Sunday, Pastor Jerry takes us from where we left off last week, at the place of what looked like Jesus's greatest tragedy. Jesus seemed to have fallen from the pinnacle of His ministry, where he was being worshiped and proclaimed king and Messiah, to the place that the crowds had turned on Him and demanded His crucifixion! It appeared to be a great tragedy to all who beheld it, especially the disciples and Jesus's mother... But Jesus was not finished yet! Stay with the story! He not only re...
2019-04-2247 minPastor Jerry Laudermilk Audio PodcastTriumph to TragedyIn this first message headed into the Easter Season, Pastor Jerry sets the stage by revealing what we call "Palm Sunday" must have looked like. Jesus seemed to be at the pinnacle of His ministry and now He was riding in on a donkey, the historic transportation of Kings and Priests in Israel. This was the fulfillment of several scriptures, but also a declaration of who He was, The King and The Messiah... But the Triumphal Entry turned to tragedy when the same crowd who praised Him, turned on Him... I hope you are encouraged and blessed as you li...

Pastor Jerry Laudermilk Audio PodcastPrincipals of Christian Maturity: Growing Together in ChristMost Christians seem to take the attitude of a popular saying of the day when it comes to Christian Maturity. According to the saying from Chili Davis, “Growing old is mandatory, growing up is optional.” While the saying is cute and witty, it’s not reasonable when speaking of Christian Maturity. Sure, we must remain child-like in our faith, but we are told to "grow up into the Head", Christ. As a local body of believers, we should make it our priority that we grow up in Christ, become Spiritually mature Christians, TRUE disciples, so we can make true disciple...

Pastor Jerry Laudermilk Audio PodcastGod of Restoration: Part OneIn Part One of the series "God of Restoration", Pastor Jerry looks at how God gives back to us the things that have been lost or taken away. Many times we allow things in our lives that pull us or separate us from God. We push Him out of our lives and forget all of the great things He has done for us. But even then, if we turn back to God, He will be there for us and begin to give back. God is a restorer of souls, a restorer of vision, a restorer of health, a restorer...

Pastor Jerry Laudermilk Audio PodcastThe Fruitful Tree: Rooted and ReachingIn the message "The Fruitful Tree: Rooted and Reaching", Pastor Jerry looks at the offices of an elder and a deacon. In John 15:8, Jesus refers to himself as the vine and us as His branches. It's only in Him that we can be fruitful. Bringing forth much fruit glorifies God! The analogy of a tree can also be used as a metaphor to understand the working of elders and deacons. The difference between the two is that elders rule and deacons serve. There are similarities in the requirements of the offices, but their functions are completely different. Both are appointed...

Pastor Jerry Laudermilk Audio PodcastI Have Opened My MouthIn the message "I Have Opened My Mouth", Pastor Jerry looks at the story of Jepthah in Judges 11:30-40. The name Jepthah (Yip-tach') means "to open". He opened his mouth and caused himself all kinds of trouble. Many of us, men and women, could do well to learn from this story to keep our mouths closed, rather than speaking hastily or carelessly. Jepthah made a vow to God that if he won victory over the Ammonites, that he would sacrifice "whatever" came out of the house to meet him upon his return from war. This sacrifice would so happen to...

Pastor Jerry Laudermilk Audio PodcastIdentity TheftIn the message "Identity Theft", Pastor Jerry looks at the story in the New Testament of the man that was possessed by an unclean spirit that Jesus would cast out of him. This story represents the things the enemy does to people today. There are some things we can relate to. The man in this story wore no clothes. This would represent how the devil stripped the man of his dignity. It also tells us that the man was driven into the wilderness by these devils. If we allow this to happen, we will be driven away from those that...

Pastor Jerry Laudermilk Audio PodcastThis Ain't His First StoneIn the message "This Ain't His First Stone", Pastor Jerry looks at the stone that blocked the tomb of Jesus. At resurrection day, the women expected the stone to be blocking their access to Jesus. They didn’t know HOW they would move it... Yet by faith they went on to the tomb! We often expect things to block our access as well. There are lots of rock hard difficulties that stand in our way often... But Jesus has never been hindered by a stone before... or any obstacle for that matter.I want you to take a look at th...

Pastor Jerry Laudermilk Audio PodcastThis Changes EverythingIn the message "This Changes Everything", Pastor Jerry and Sister Tracy look at some of the people who were around when Jesus was crucified and when He arose from the grave. They give us a perspective that we can look at. As Christians, it's very important for us to see how those around Jesus at the time acted and lived. There are a few things that make Christianity so different from the other religions of the worlds, and they are most wondrous things! Jesus was born of a virgin. Jesus was God and Man all at once. Jesus conquered Death...

Pastor Jerry Laudermilk Audio Podcast"God Is Love" Biblical Concepts That Keep Me Focused Part 3"God Is Love" is part three in the series titled "Biblical Concepts That Keep Me Focused". In this message, Pastor Jerry looks at how the love of Jesus Christ needs to be in our lives in order for us to truly be a disciple. Love is the key "identification tool" for disciples of Christ. The word says... ALL will know we are his disciples by our love. This includes other disciples and those in the world. ALL will know (by love)... That's EVERYONE! Clearly a true disciple's witness can not be hidden... because true love in the Body of Christ...

In this message, Pastor Jerry discusses how The Lord looks at those who are following Him and also those who are not. How does He see all of us? There are simple, and basic, truths that if we forget we react differently to what comes our way, but if we remember them there is strength and peace to be grasped. One such truth...The knowledge that God Sees everything and God hears everything can bring us great comfort, or it can cause us grave...

You are the salt of the earth and the light of the world.Just as salt purifies and light drives back darkness, we are called to be in opposition to this sinful world! Yet we are busy trying to fit in. They used to say, "The church is getting so worldly, and the world is getting so churchy, that it's hard to tell the difference!" It has gone so far past that now, that it's impossible...

Pastor Jerry Laudermilk Audio PodcastI Will DeclareIn the message "I Will Declare", Pastor Jerry looks at what it means when we make a declaration of our faith in God. A declaration of faith doesn’t always come from the place of already possessing something in hand, otherwise it wouldn’t take faith. The declaration often comes through the knowledge that what we seek is within God is possession... and is therefore available BY FAITH for my procurement! A declaration of faith comes from a positive mindset, in even a negative circumstance, and is based on a desired vision with complete trust in God and His word. A de...

Threatened by an explosion of the Hebrew population Pharaoh of Egypt put out an order, in approximately 1446 BC, that ALL the Hebrew male babies be killed.

Some may call Him Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. They are ALL descriptive and each of these names reveal something about Him. Yet let me say, every one of them fall short! Jesus is so much more! It's in the name of Jesus, and only in the name of Jesus, that we may be saved. It's a name that God has highly exalted, high above every other name! It's the only name on Earth that causes demons to fear, and...

This passage of scripture seems so impossible. Can we ALL speak the same thing? Can we have no divisions...

Pastor Jerry Laudermilk Audio PodcastA Generational GodIn the message "A Generational God", Pastor Jerry looks how God wants a personal relationship with His Children no matter the generation. God desires that we pass our faith down, but not just a "stale knowledge" of Him, but a "passionate relationship" with Him. To correctly pass the truth on to the generations who follow us, we MUST HAVE a trustworthy conduit of information. One such conduit is our children raised in the fear and admonition of God, or spiritually speaking its trustworthy disciples. God told Israel to teach the next generations His laws and His ways. I believe the...

We all seemingly want a "word" from God...We want to know what God has called us to do personally or as a church. We want to hear a word about our life or our future. But are we willing to work when the word of the Lord comes? If God speaks, we'd better be ready to do more than just listen. God's word demands action. We tend to look...

Many of us are living so far below our privileges, that it's as though we are even scavenging for spiritual food. In the natural, what is called dumpster diving is a huge thing. In much of the world, the under-privileged scavenge for food in dumps, dumpsters, or anywhere they might find food. In the Spiritual, people seem to be doing the very same thing. Why are so many...

Today, many people say they have faith but really what they have is doubt. It is truly something Christians deal with every day. But we don't have to be that way. God has so much He wants us to have and do. We need to believe that God will truly take care of us. Genuine faith is visible, transferable, unashamed, it stirs up the gifts and it partakes of the afflictions of the Gospel. How...

Pastor Jerry Laudermilk Audio PodcastWhat The Spirit Says... Part SevenIn part seven of the series "What The Spirit Says", Pastor Jerry looks at the church of Laodicea. The city was named for a people that saw themselves as people of Good Judgment, and this carried over into the church... They believed in their own character, they were, I believe, self righteous. The Church of the Laodiceans had no passion for God as ones who really loved Him. Yet they were not like the world who had rejected Him either. They were seemingly on the fence... not fully committed to Christ, not fully rejecting Him. Jesus saw this even more...

Sardis wasn't just in compromise or struggling with deception... They were spiritually dead. It seemed to be very lively but for the wrong reasons. Their condition was very reminiscent of the spiritual condition of the Pharisees. Which Jesus spoke out against very strongly. This same condition is also present today. There are many that claim to be this and that for God but still can't hear what His Holy Spirit is saying. Sardis was instructed to...

Pastor Jerry Laudermilk Audio PodcastWhat The Spirit Says... Part FourIn Part 4 of the series : What The Spirit Says...", Pastor Jerry looks at the church of Thyatira and how it relates to the church of today. The church of Thyatira did many things well and helped out in the community greatly. But they had also allowed an unholy spirit of Jezebel into the church. Jesus reproves the Church at Thyatira because they had suffered (allowed) the woman Jezebel to teach and seduce true servants of God to take part in unholy acts. Reminiscent of the reason for the rebuke of Pergamos, authority given by Christ, over false teaching and adherence...

Pastor Jerry Laudermilk Audio PodcastWhat The Spirit Says... Part ThreeIn Part Three of the series "What The Spirit Says", Pastor Jerry Looks at the church of Pergamos and what Jesus was telling them. The name Pergamos is said to mean "height, exalted or elevation". I think it's significant that Satan is called the Prince of the Power of the Air and throughout history, false gods and demons have been worshiped in the 'high places". The city of Pergamos was a pagan stronghold, that sat upon the mountain top in Asia Minor. AND... the church was in compromise. That same thing is going in the church of today. The church...

Pastor Jerry Laudermilk Audio PodcastWhat The Spirit Says... Part TwoIn part two of the series "What The Spirit Says", Pastor Jerry looks at the church of Smyrna in Revelation 2:8-11. This is the second church that Jesus addressed in his teachings in this chapter of Revelation. The name Smyrna is from the root word "myrrh". Myrrh is an aromatic resin from certain trees that is used in perfume, and incense because of it's pleasant smell. It was also used in embalming, and was a gift given to Jesus by the wisemen... likely signifying that His death was a part of His destiny. But death couldn't hold him. That is...

Pastor Jerry Laudermilk Audio PodcastWhat The Spirit Says... Part One"What The Spirit Says" is part one in a series about Revelation chapters 1-3. In this message, Pastor Jerry looks at the church of Ephesus and how it relates to the church of today. What is the church of today lacking that the church in Biblical times did so well? Jesus directly points out what is at the heart of the issue. And that is the lost of our first love, Jesus Christ. No matter how many good messages we preach or how many people we serve, if we forget about Him it means nothing. If we as the church...

Pastor Jerry Laudermilk Audio PodcastFather's Day PresenceIn the message "Father's Day Presence", Pastor Jerry looks at the story of the prodigal son. This is in Luke 15:11-32. When we look at Luke 15, we usually are talking about the prodigal son, who lived riotously and wasted all he had. Instead let's look at a father who was present. 61% of US children don't have one of the parent's in the home, usually its their father that's missing. In many urban areas, only 1 in 10 children has a father present. Sad thing is, stats show further that even many fathers who are physically present are emotionally absent. (If you are...

Pastor Jerry Laudermilk Audio PodcastThe OathIn the message "The Oath", Pastor Jerry looks at the Jewish festival of Shavuot and how it relates to The Christian faith. Shavuot is the second of the three main feasts/festivals of Judaism, and this Jewish Holiday coincides with the Christian Holiday Pentecost. They were originally on the same day... (Our calendars often misrepresent the connection, due to the Leap Years of the Jewish and Gregorian Calendars). Amazingly, but not coincidentally, the giving of the Holy Spirit came on the anniversary of the giving of the Law. Remember the Bible tells us the Law was weak through the flesh...

Pastor Jerry Laudermilk Audio PodcastGo In Your StrengthIn the message "Go In Your Strength", Pastor Jerry looks at the story of Gideon and how it applies to us today. Gideon's life is much like ours in that we as humans have many weaknesses. We tend to focus on those instead what is a strength in our life. Gideon's weaknesses were that he had a victim mentality, he was defiant, a lack of self-confidence and he had a fear of man's opinion. Those do sound like things that we as Christians have issues with. Even so, we don't have to allow those things define our walk with God...

Many times, we as mothers, try to compare our lives with other mothers. We think we have to be perfect and do things a certain way. But you were created to be unique the way God intended. What is really need to do is to follow God and His Word. This includes raising our children in the ways of Him. They should see Jesus in us and feel our love. According to the His Word this is what we are supposed...

Pastor Jerry Laudermilk Audio PodcastLoveIn the message "Love", Pastor Jerry looks at how important love is in our relationship with Jesus Christ. We should incorporate love in everything we do. It should be a major component of our ministry. How do Worship, Evangelism, Discipleship, depend on love? Love is foundational... in our Christian life EVERYTHING depends on Love. Our society is confused on what love is... so some confusion has come into the church. Love is what God is, but also our response to Him, for who He is. Love is the glue that binds the Body (Church) together. Love, His true love, is...

There is the outer court, the inner court and the Holy of Holies. These parts have significant meaning as to where our walk with The Lord is at. We enter His Outer Courts with thanksgiving. This is a key to entering into His Presence. We enter His Inner Court with worship. This is only accomplished by worshipers. Anyone can be thankful but only those who love can worship. It requires more to get into the inner...

James, Mohamed, and the Buddhist", Pastor Jerry talks about his recent trip to Chicago and how God moved. He met three very unique people... James, Mohamed, and the Buddhist. The Lord spoke through each one of these encounters. James was low on hope and looking for it. Many of us, like James, although we know the Lord or have at least in the past known Him intimately, find ourselves without hope (or low on hope) because life has thrown us a curve... or lots of curves... We want more, but all...

Did you know that it seems that Barabbas too was named Jesus? We miss that in the KJV, but early manuscripts have the name "Jesus Barabbas", as do many of the literal translations. The New Cambrige Bible Dictionary says that, "Early church father Origen Adam-ant-ius (3rd Century) was troubled by the fact that his copies of the gospels gave Barabbas' name as "Jesus Barabbas" and declared that since it was impossible he could have had such a holy name, "Jesus" must have been...

Pastor Jerry Laudermilk Audio PodcastIdentityIn the message "Identity", Pastor Jerry sets the stage for the upcoming series "Three Major Components of A Biblical Christian Ministry". Before we as Christians can begin to do anything for God, we need to know what our identity is. Do we identify with Jesus Christ or something else? We should identify ourselves with Jesus and not just a denomination. The ministry that we are to do is reliant on our relationship with Him and not man. That requires us to get in His Word, be in prayer and treat others with love. The world should see something different in...

The text for this message is Matthew 28:18-20. This passage of scripture is commonly called the Great Commission... Here, Jesus told His church to "go make disciples", not converts. He told them by what authority to do this. He told them to immerse the converts in the name (authority) of (also see Mark 16:17, Acts 2:38), and He told them to teach the new believers ALL that He had taught them. I want to point out Jesus NEVER said to SIMPLY make converts...

Conversely, the Apostle Paul did not consider this to be the case. He pressed, toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God, through Christ Jesus. He urged all who are mature in Christ, to have the same attitude that he had... Not considering himself to have made it. Most of us honestly live our lives as if we have made it. We have believed on Jesus as Savior, therefore we just await his return. But...

So, why not have those relationships bring blessings. IF YOU ARE IN GOD'S FAVOR... God's favor upon your life is transferable to your family... Did you know that? Because of you are Holy through Christ, mercy rests upon you... and it can and does at times become a blessing to those around you. In other words, you can be BLESSED ON BEHALF OF ANOTHER, or others can be BLESSED ON YOUR BEHALF!Relationships play a...

Pastor Jerry Laudermilk Audio PodcastThe Power of Right Relationships Part OneIn the message "The Power of Relationships Part One", Pastor Jerry looks at the kind of relationships we have and if they are of God. Relationships are more powerful than you might think. All of the 10 Commandments were about relationships. The first six were about our relationship with Him. The last four were about relationships with others. God takes right relationship serious. The Scripture in 2 Cor. 6:14 exhorts us to not 'yoke' ourselves with unbelievers, or not to enter into close - binding relationships with them. That can be anything as simple as an enduring friendship. It can be a business...

Pastor Jerry Laudermilk Audio PodcastWaiting In His PresenceIn the message "Waiting In His Presence", Pastor Jerry looks at how we as Christians are not just to wait on The Lord but wait on Him in His Presence. This waiting requires trust in The Lord, strength of character and to have an attentive expectancy. It also requires us to surrender all to God. By surrendering, we are suggesting that we aren't fully capable or are in control. In other words, we have surrendered all to Him. We've missed intimacy with God by rushing on to do other things. I encourage you... Slow down! WAIT on the Lord! They...

That word power is Dunames or Dynamis. Which is power, strength, or ability... It's the root for the word Dynamo, and Dynamite... (It's an inherent power... a built-in power, or inherited power... A power give by our Heavenly Father through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit.) You could say it's the empowerment to accomplish a purpose... for which you were made! I believe each of us has a purpose, and I believe God...

Jesus stated that His purpose was "To bear witness to the Truth". There's tremendous power in purpose. What if Christians knew what their purpose was and focused on it like Jesus did? Let me ask it this way... "What if each of us knew our purpose in life, and lived up to our full potential in that purpose?" What if we each knew our purpose, and accomplished it before we were finished in this life... Just like Jesus did? Find YOUR Purpose...

Pastor Jerry Laudermilk Audio PodcastJOYIn the message "JOY", Pastor Jerry wants to present you with an observation of a general truth (an aphorism): "The Lord's presence is the basis of all real joy." Or we could say..."Without Jesus there is no REAL Joy." Many would argue against that point... but all other forms of happiness are fleeting... Joy is found in the person of Jesus Christ! And Joy in Christ is eternal, because He is eternal. Our strength as Followers of Christ is FUELED by our Joy in Him! How do we live in the JOY that comes from Jesus? We must continue...

Pastor Jerry Laudermilk Audio PodcastDream - Part 3: "Live The Dream""Live The Dream" is the last message in the three part series titled "The Dream". In this message, Pastor Jerry looks at some of those things that can cause you not to live out your calling from God. Our mind is a battlefield. The enemy wages war there because he knows we are weak when it comes to our thoughts. Every ungodly thought must be taken captive.... if not, those ungodly thoughts will hold you captive. We all struggle with thoughts. YET, our mind MUST be brought into subjection to God's will or it will lead us astray. Unforgiveness is...

In this message, Pastor Jerry looks at a how a Christian steps into their calling or God given potential. We all face adversity when following the Will of God in our lives. This is what happened to Joseph when God revealed to him in a dream of what his stature in Egypt would be. His own family even came against him. But that didn't stop Joseph. He lived out God's calling on his life. In order for us to know what God wants for our lives we...

In this message, Pastor Jerry looks at the story of Joseph and he was used by God in his new position to save his family from a drought and to ultimately preserve what would later become the nation of Israel.

It also teaches that despite the perceived circumstances, God is always with his people to bless them. The story helps us to un...

Pastor Jerry Laudermilk Audio PodcastWhat Spirit Is Motivating You?In the message "What Spirit Is Motivating You?", Pastor Jerry looks at how Christians are to judge. We all judge... We have to. We are even supposed to...But we are only supposed to make righteous judgments... and that's difficult. What spirit is motivating your judgment? Is your judgment of the flesh, or from the Spirit of God? Sometimes it's actually difficult to know the difference. Spiritual maturity plays a huge part in distinguishing between our passions, and God's plan. We NEED the breath (Spirit) of God in the Church... WE NEED KNOWLEDGE OF HIS WORD, AND We need discernment...

Pastor Jerry Laudermilk Audio PodcastThe Seed Part 4: The Making of a Great Harvest"The Making of a Great Harvest" is the fourth message in the series "The Seed". In this message, Pastor Jerry looks at the parable of the sower in Matt. 13:1-9 & 18-23. The sower is Jesus, but can also represent a preacher or a witness of Christ who sows the Good News of Jesus Christ. The seed in this parable is The Word of God. The types of ground in this parable where the seeds fall represent the hearts of men. A great harvest is a harvest of plenty. We would all like a plenteous harvest in our lives. God does...

In this message, Pastor Jerry looks at how being spiritually asleep is very dangerous to us as Christians. Spiritual slumber is dangerous! Many Christians are even asleep now to what's going on around them in the world. We will be awakened by something occasionally, but we just keep hitting the snooze button. The world doesn't stop while we are asleep. As a matter of fact, it hardly even slows down... Neither does our enemy the devil. When we sleep spiritually the ENEMY has the opportunity to...

Pastor Jerry Laudermilk Audio PodcastThe Seed Part 2: Let The Seed Die"Let The Seed Die" is part 2 in the series "The Seed". In this message Pastor Jerry looks at how a seed must die in order to produce more of it's own kind. That Seed for Christians was Jesus Christ. He had to die to be resurrected, so that we who die might also be resurrected. Jesus Christ died the death of a mortal, and rose in the flesh to immortality! When we plant a seed of faith... WE MUST ALLOW it to die. When our faith is planted it sometimes seems so hopeless! What we planted seems to be under...

Pastor Jerry Laudermilk Audio PodcastThe Seed Part 1: Everything Starts With A Seed"Everything Starts With A Seed" is part one of the series "The Seed". In this message Pastor Jerry looks at how all things in life including our relationship with God began with a seed. The seed is the vehicle that carries the legacy of the ancestor, and the programming of the fundamental building blocks for the potential descendant. To better understand faith, I believe we need to better understand the seed. That is what Jesus said, "IF YOU HAVE FAITH ...AS A MUSTARD SEED… Nothing will be impossible for you". The seed contains all that is needed to produce a fu...

Pastor Jerry Laudermilk Audio PodcastDisentangledIn the message "Disentangled", Pastor Jerry looks at how we as Christians are separated from the people of the world. Who caused this separation? Jesus Christ did. When Jesus came, He 'disentangled' the children of God from the children of Satan. He delivered us from the power of darkness, and empowered us to live in His Light! We often associate a detangler with hair. A detangler somehow has the ability to take hair that is a matted mess, straighten it up, and free it to be beautiful. I want you to know that Jesus Christ somehow has the ability to...

Pastor Jerry Laudermilk Audio PodcastOh Ye of Little FaithJesus seemed to say, "Oh Ye of Little Faith" quite often to His disciples. Sometimes it sounded like a rebuke, perhaps it was, but in each case it was always to challenge them to believe for more!! Sometimes we need a stern word to shock us into reality. In this message Pastor Jerry looks at the faith that we Christians so often seem to struggle with. Most of us simply have too little faith! We serve an all powerful God, and He has made us promises. Why do we doubt and fear? We are just like those disciples, people of...

We were taught that God adds and multiplies, but Satan subtracts and divides! Right?... And now you say that Jesus said He came to bring division. This is true God adds and multiplies, Yet Jesus came to divide the spoils of the Kingdom of Darkness! Jesus came to disentangle the children or God, from the Children of Satan. Your faith is under attack. Stay the course Christian, hold to the unchanging truth of God's Word and spread the good news all...

Pastor Jerry Laudermilk Audio PodcastLooking For Grass, When We Should Be Praying For RainIn this message, Pastor Jerry looks at how we are to ask things of God and to get rid of anything that could be hindering them from being answered. It could be that we often fail to ask or we fail to seek Him. Perhaps, we are too impatient to knock. We often see little response from God because we haven't offered him any faith to respond to. Our trust in Him has to be unwavering, in the good times and bad. Another reason that we see no response from God is because we are unequally yoked with those who...

If those things don't line up with The Word of God, then we don't have a solid foundation to get through the storms when they come. It seems that everything that can be shaken is being shaken now. If you are not on a firm foundation, you had better be building your life, your future, your hope... on Jesus. If you are built on Jesus, you are on a firm foundation that will remain. His...

To some that might refer to our denominational traditions or not to use technology or to do things in a method seen in Jewish society of the first century Christians. But in reality, none of those apply. So what is it? Well, it simply means to be obedient to the will of God. Nothing else works. What is the primary way that we know the will of God? The Word of God...

We are past the tipping point in America and most of the church is still asleep. Evil is being celebrated in the streets and in the media, as though it were good.

We often think that when we accepted Jesus Christ as our personal Savior that there wouldn't be any more difficulties. We go through intense struggles, sickness, depression, and many many other difficulties. These ARE usually NOT things that are sent by God, yet they are allowed by God. How can this be working for my good? Hardships, difficulties, & trials are experienced because of the weakness of our flesh. Sometimes...

An ungodly person cannot leave a Godly legacy. What do you want your family members to remember about you when you are gone? Blaze that trail...perhaps they will follow.

In this message, Pastor Jerry looks at how The Holy Spirit and how it is supposed to operate. There are two objectives of the Holy Spirit: 1)The Holy Spirit is come to ‘Reprove’ (Convince) the world of sin, righteousness, & judgment...2)The Holy Spirit is come to ‘Edify’ (Build-up, grow) the bride of Christ. If we can understand these objectives then Jesus will be glorified. Which is what should be our goal in anything we do for Him. Now, in order for us to operate...

He also wants to encourage you to manifest the Fruit of the Spirit, and seek to operate in the Gift(s) of the Spirit... that God desires for you.

Pastor Jerry Laudermilk Audio PodcastReady To Give An AnswerIn the message "Ready To Give An Answer", Pastor Jerry looks at how as Christians what kind of influence we can have on others when questions are asked. Influence can be positive or negative. Using one's influence to manipulate others for the sake of one's own benefit is self serving, and is akin to witchcraft. While using one's influence to benefit others is often a sign of self sacrifice and concern. God has given YOU influence... AND He will give you opportunity. When this happens, we need to be prepared by getting in to prayer, studying the Word of God...

Pastor Jerry Laudermilk Audio PodcastOh Precious LambIn the message "Oh Precious Lamb", Pastor Jerry looks at the Passover and what it means to Christians. The Passover should be a celebration of grace. This was made possible by the substitutionary death of Jesus Christ. The Passover Lamb, completely blotted out our sins, as if they never happened. Forgive is to release from liability... but the Blood of Jesus didn't just merely "forgive me", it "cleansed me". It completely exonerated me of sin. So, let the celebration of grace begin! We are not just sinners saved by grace, we are a NEW Creation in CHRIST!

Pastor Jerry Laudermilk Audio PodcastEmpty Part Three: Empty Vessels"Empty Vessels" is the last message in the three part series titled "Empty". In this message Pastor Jerry looks at how we must be empty in order for God to fill us with Grace. A vessel filled with wickedness cannot be filled with grace. A vessel that is already full cannot be filled. It must be emptied. Emptying ourselves of the dishonorable things is something we are responsible for. Once this done, God can cleanse us and fill us with His Holy Spirit.

In this message, Pastor Jerry looks at how as Christians we can become empty. This usually happens when we begin to be led by the carnal side instead of The Holy Spirit. It usually comes from going through difficult times. We tend to feel like there isn't anything left in us. Our lives are going to experience trials and difficulties. Just because we are serving The Lord, doesn't mean we aren't going to have tough times or go through things. But our faith and hope needs to reside in...

He took all of our sins upon Him and took them to the Cross. But to many this story is hard to believe. His Word even declares the first carriers of our faith had doubts. But they sought the truth and Jesus readily revealed Himself and proved their doubts unfounded. He will do the same for us, if...

In this message, Pastor Jerry discusses how the church belongs to Jesus Christ and what our charge is to do His work. As Christians, we are a part of the church but don't have rights to change any mandates of Jesus Christ. We often think we do and that is when we get in trouble. The mandate and message are actually 2 things: evangelism and discipleship. Evangelism is preaching the good news to the unbeliever. Discipleship is teaching the believer to observe what Jesus taught. We use our...

Are we letting the enemy put thoughts of doubt in our minds that would cause us to not step out when God tells us too? Some of these doubts could be: you are too young to be used; you can't get beyond things in your past; you don't speak well enough; you don't have the education or training to do God's work.

In this passage of scripture Jesus is telling His disciples that in order to follow Him we must deny our self, take up our cross and follow Him. Denying ourselves goes against our most basic human nature. But we have been given a new nature, the nature of Jesus Christ. His nature is to sacrifice, to give, to humble Himself. We need to go ALL IN when following Him! When we put this into action, then God can move greatly through us. Lets...

In Acts 2:1-20, there were 120 Christians gathered together in one mind and one accord. This is the example that was set for us to follow. But somewhere along the line, we have let the enemy keep us divided. This is a very strong tactic he uses. But that wasn't the way God had it intended for us. We need to break down whatever walls/barriers that are keeping us apart as the body of Christ. Together...

It could be stubbornness, rebelliousness, weakness in faith, insufficient Biblical training or that we feel what He has for us to do is too hard. None of these are good reasons to not follow God's commands or directions. These things will lead us to being disobedient and to Jesus that is an act of disloyalty.

Those who walk by faith, don't need to lean on religion. Our faith needs to be in Jesus Christ. Religion, is our attempt to reach God. That isn't enough.
