Faith

Starting this Sunday we will be moved to Kitely :) Our region name is "Faith Chapel Ministries". We will still use the "Faith Chapel in Opensim" facebook page. This page will no longer be maintained. Our new events and notices page here is https://opensimworld.com/hop/88359 - "Faith Chapel Ministries". Please join us for this exciting new change!

As Christians we've recieved the greatest gift ever - now, let's open it up and play with it :P j/k - Let's learn how to use it properly and not put our eye out or somethiing.....

More specifically, Jesus and the meaning of Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem as King on what we know as Palm Sunday.

Ever hear of Mephibosheth? It's a great story about overcoming adversity, even if life tries hard to keep you down. There's a little Mephibosheth in all of us :P

A long, long time ago, in a far land, a prophet of God lost his way, just like we do from time to time. Today we see his story and how it applies to each of us today.

"A man shall not be established by wickedness: but the root of the righteous shall not be moved."

What should be the pattern of our every day? How can we serve and build godly habits without losing our zeal and joy?

Been feeling beat down, alone, outgunned and outnumbered lately? That's just an illusion, a lie. Let's look at our reality and get a firm stance - we got this!

God's grace and God's mercy are often confused. Although they are similar expressions of his favor and love, they possess a clear distinction. When we experience God's grace, we receive favor that we do not deserve. When we experience God's mercy, we are spared punishment that we do deserve. What does this have to do with grits? You'll have to come to find out :)

Lots of religions claim a "Jesus" - are they all valid? What does the Bible say about these imposters?

This might seem a bit simplistic or naïve or maybe even impossible, but these words are also a message from Jesus. We do worry because some things in this life make us fearful and often seem to challenge our very existence. How does your witness affect those you meet day to day? Are you cynical, or angry? Christians of all people have every reason to be optimistic, even cheerful :P

A look at the events that shake the Church just before the Son of Perdition is revealed.

Look at how we view sin has changed in the last 100 years. Slowly, Satan has infiltrated our value systems, and replaced Gods with his. Let's peel away that evil facade and find again that path to our Celestial City.

Let's look at our privileges as Children of the Most High.

Most of us have traveled far on that narrow road. Let's talk about how to keep it between the ditches.

Let's take another look at the events in Revelations and gain some new insights into this ancient prophecy coming to fruition around us today..

When we recognize our true worth we see everything around us differently, and appreciate our lives and our time here with more clarity and vibrancy..

How do we recognize demons? What are demons? How do demons "work"? How do we defend against demons? All this and more this morning - don't miss it!

Are we really any different than the lost? Are we a shining beacon, or are we a poor witness? Let's examine the reality a lot of us question.

How do we keep perfect peace while the world around us explodes in violence and sin? Come find out today :) Oh, and that's not the Serenity we're talking about - I just like Firefly :P

How do we love our enemies, and why should we love our enemies? Who are our enemies? Today let's dive into the complexities of this commandment, and get a glimpse of the beauty inherent in our daily walk as a follower of Jesus.

Let's discuss Satans' tactics this morning, and some false assumptions we all make. You will leave this service with a new perspective about many things, and a new assurance of your victory in Christ.

God isn't just paying attention to you when you rescue a lost puppy, or when you buy diinner for a poor person - He's interested in every detail of your life.

We all struggle with temptations, doubt, sicknesses, there's troubles with employment, or maybe relationships, bad decisions - all these things rob you of your joy in life, your security - I have good (or God :P) news! It doesn't have to be like that! This morning we're gonna have a big Holy Spirit hug, some soul CPR :) Don't miss this!

This is part of the Grand Adventure we discussed, the conflict part :) Yay! We must answer the call - and we know how it ends :)

This morning I will present some dominant verses that are used to support the idea that we could lose our salvation,, and then I will show how we interpret them to support Eternal Security. Please come if you've ever doubted your standing with God, or if you're just curious about salvation :) It will be a fascinating look at one of our favorite doctrines.

A lighthearted look at all the wonderful adventures that await the Child of God. This will definitely be a departure from our ordinary evening service :)

The Christian Life should be full of joy, peace, and excitement. This will be an empowering, positive message that everyone should enjoy, and it will start the New Year on a positive note :) Everyone is invited - bring a friend or two!

Life is hard. How do you deal with the uncertainty and harshness of life? Do you struggle with adversity, or do you see it as a challenge, a lesson, or maybe a way of refinement? Tough times to a Christian shouldn't be feared and avoided. Tonight we will look at the proper perspective in dealing with trouble.

Let's talk about the meaning of Christmas, in all it's many facets :)

Sometimes we can't hear God, even when we desperately need to. We'll look at some helpful Biblical tips and examples today.

Today we are gonna yank on that Jesus thread in the Bible and see where it takes us.. Better wear your mental running shoes, it's gonna be quite the journey :)

This evening we will examine our faith against other belief structures - especially those "close" to Christianity. I guarantee there will be material tonight you NEED to hear, and have never heard.

Lets explore the reasons for our beliefs in the exclusivity of Christ, and some sneaky ways the World tries to subvert our faith.

Let's talk honestly about our relationship with our Redeemer. Are we "hiding" some things, or maybe just sinning and counting on "OSAS" to get into Heaven despite our rebellion? Any relationship needs effort and honesty, and our relationship with Jesus is no exception.

Imagine a place with nothing good in it. A dark, stinking, terrifying place you can never, ever leave - and you will always live with the knowlege you chose to be there. Hell is exponentially worse than that.

How to run the race, and not be too slowed down by the pressures and temptations that beset us, and to finish with grace.

How did Hell become something in a bad anime, or an expletive? Why does no one fear Hell any more? Let's look at how the concept of Hell has become minimized through popular culture, and see how it has distorted the worlds view of Christianity.

This will be a study of the witness and duty of both believer and church. We will learn how we work individually and as a church body to effectually perform our Christian duties.

You're doing everything right, but it just seems like walking in place, you just never seem to be getting ahead. Join us this evening for a breakthrough service where we take the offensive and regain our power.

There is always a struggle in our minds, but we don't have to give in. We can actually take charge of our thoughts, and dismantle those strongholds.
