Balancing Remembrance and Forgetting

Pastor Michael Fernandes

33:19

What’s the secret to lasting friendships? How does queer community show up through the ebbs and flows of life? And what’s the REAL story behind the “YMCA” song? In the first episode of Silver Linings, The Old Gays dive into an essential part of queer life: chosen family. They discuss the vital love, support, and sense of belonging that community provides, especially during life's toughest moments. They open up about what “queer” means to them, how chosen family has impacted their lives, and how to maintain close bonds over time–including their love for each other! “We’ve come a long way, baby.” Family isn’t just what you’re born with; it’s the people who show up, shape you, and stick around.

How do we balance remembering our past while embracing the future God has for us? Join Pastor Michael Fernandes as he delves into this profound topic, exploring key biblical insights from Deuteronomy, Exodus, Isaiah, and more.

Remembering our past experiences, struggles, and God's deliverance helps us cultivate gratitude, empathy, obedience, and faithfulness. But how do we balance this with God's command to "forget the former things" in Isaiah 43:18? Pastor Michael guides us through the importance of both remembering and forgetting and how each serves a distinct purpose in our spiritual journey.

The Importance of Revelation - I | प्रगतिकरण का महत्व -I 39:39

5 days ago39:39

39:39

The message emphasizes the importance of revelation as transformative spiritual understanding. Through the story of blind Bartimaeus, it illustrates how revelation supersedes surface-level knowledge. While crowds saw "Jesus of Nazareth," Bartimaeus's revelation recognized Him as "Son of David," leading to his healing. The importance of revelation is further demonstrated through three levels of spiritual understanding: outer court (intellectual knowledge), holy place (emotional response), and holy of holies (spiritual revelation). True revelation, as taught by Paul in Ephesians, opens spiritual eyes and unlocks divine inheritance. The importance of revelation culminates in genuine worship that transcends superficial engagement with God. 1.) What is a revelation? 2.) Why could Bartimaeus receive his miracle when others walking with Jesus didn't? 3.) Is it possible for Jesus to be with us, around us, and we still not receive? 4.) How does the temple's structure correspond to human spiritual anatomy? 5.))bWhy did David become king? 6.) How can someone hear the word, laugh, scream, cry, and still not change? 7.) What did Paul pray for the Ephesian church first? 8.) What are the riches Paul speaks about in Ephesians? 9.) How can someone reach this place of revelation? 10.) Why do some Christians miss the answers to their prayers?…

The Mercy of God is All You Need | आपको परमेश्वर की दया की आवश्यकता है 38:43

20 days ago38:43

38:43

This message emphasizes that the mercy of God is all you need. It highlights Manasseh's story, a king who, despite grave sins, received God's mercy after humbling himself. The sermon stresses that God constantly speaks, but pride, rebellion, and spiritual deafness prevent us from hearing. God's mercy restores what's lost, delivers from judgment, provides help, protects, and reveals His goodness. We receive God's mercy through humility, acknowledging our need, repentance, and trusting in His compassion. Remember, the mercy of God is all you need, and His mercy is new every morning. Even when everything fails, the mercy of God is all you need. 1.) Why do people feel like God is not speaking to them? 2.) What are the signs of pride, rebellion, and spiritual deafness? 3.) How does judgment manifest in the life of someone who doesn't listen to God? 4.) Can someone who has lived a sinful life still receive God's mercy? 5.) What is the true meaning of Christmas? 6.) What are the five reasons why we need God's mercy? 7.) How does the story of Bartimaeus illustrate the restoring power of God's mercy? 8.) How does God's mercy deliver us from judgment? 9.) How can we receive God's mercy? 10.) Why should our hope be in God's mercy and not in worldly things?…

20 days ago33:11

33:11

In this sermon "The Wise Men Who Missed Christmas" contrasts two groups of wise men during Jesus' birth. While the wise men from the East found Jesus and received divine peace, the wise men who missed Christmas - Herod's scholars - made two fatal mistakes.

Unlike the wise men who missed Christmas, the eastern wise men diligently sought Jesus and found true joy. The sermon concludes by urging listeners not to repeat the mistakes of Herod's wise men, but to receive Jesus and experience His peace and joy. All these questions were answered just as Perry Stone, Jonathan Cahn, John Hagee, Jentezen Franklin, Benny Hinn, Chris Oyaklihome, and others. 01.) Why did Jesus choose Capernaum as His ministry headquarters? 02.) How do people come to hear about Jesus? 03.) What's wrong with the traditional model of Christianity? 04.)

When nothing makes sense, God is still working behind the scenes. The message emphasizes walking by faith, not by sight, during seasons when God's word seems confusing or distant.

Pastor Michael teaches how to keep the fire of the Spirit burning through four key principles. He emphasizes that just as God commanded the altar fire to burn continuously in Leviticus, believers must maintain their spiritual fire. To keep the fire of the Spirit burning, Christians should meditate daily on God's Word, pray in tongues, and associate with wise, Spirit-filled people.

The message emphasizes that we shouldn't let our past name our future, focusing on Jabez's prayer in 1 Chronicles 4:10.

The sermon outlines five key aspects: seeking God's blessing, enlisting His power through His hand, protection from evil, avoiding causing pain to others, and receiving answered prayers. When we don't let our past name our future, we can experience transformation through God's presence, just as Jabez didn't let his past name his future destiny. All these questions were answered just as Perry Stone, Jonathan Cahn, John Hagee, Jentezen Franklin, Benny Hinn, Chris Oyaklihome, Steven Furtick, Joel Osteen, Joseph Prince, Joyce Meyer, Paul Dhinakaran, Samuel Patta, Ezekiah Francis, Johnson Varghese, Paul Thangiah, Mohan C Lazarus, TD Jakes and others. 1) What does "the hand of God" represent? 2) Why do we need God's presence in our lives? 3) How can someone stay protected from evil and temptation? 4) Why do hurt people hurt others? 5) What is the key to answered prayer? 6) Why do some people struggle to fit into churches? 7) What is the "Joseph Anointing"? 8) How should we pray according to God's will? 9) What happens when the presence of God flows in someone's life? 10) Can witchcraft affect true Christians?…
