The Anticipation of the Messiah - Dr. Brian Keesler
Sermon Recap
Christ is coming again, but the church can’t get so focused on His second-coming that it fails to share the good news of His first. In the sermon, The Anticipation of the Messiah, Dr. Brian Keesler reminds the body of Christ of its duty to share the same thrill of hope that they received when they first heard about the Messiah. One of the ways believers can share the good news of Jesus is by inviting their friends, family, and coworkers to come to church. In a study conducted just last year, eighty-two percent of people polled said they would come to church at Christmas-time. However, only two percent of evangelical Christians are actively inviting any of their acquaintances. As you watch this sermon, prepare for an excitement to evangelize this Christmas and beyond.

God's Faith - Dr. Brian Keesler
Sermon Recap
When you speak the Word, you can have the same confidence in its fruition as God did when He created the heavens and the Earth. In the sermon, God’s Faith, Dr. Brian Keesler delivers a message that is essential for every believer wanting to see God’s promises come to pass in their life. In the account of creation found in Genesis Chapter 1, God spoke everything that He wanted to see. And everything that He spoke was manifested exactly how He confessed it. When God commanded water to come forth, water came forth—not trees or animals. God never second-guessed that what He said would come to pass, and He never had to hope and pray that it would happen. God had complete confidence that everything He said would produce exactly what He wanted. As possessors of the very divine nature of Christ, we can also have this same kind of faith—faith that fully believes that everything we speak in accordance to the Word will come to pass. As you watch this sermon, prepare for doubt to fall away as you remember that you have God’s faith.

The Curse is Reversed - Dr. Brian Keesler
Sermon Recap
If you are in Christ, sickness, disease, and poverty no longer have dominion over you. In the sermon, The Curse is Reversed, Dr. Brian Keesler expounds upon a truth that every believer must grasp—they are no longer under the curse. Because of Jesus’ death on the cross, the effects of the law have been overturned. This means that the negative consequences of disobedience outlined in Deuteronomy 28 are ineffective. Christians are not under the law of sin and death, they are under the law of life through Christ Jesus. The only requirement of the believer is to now walk by the Spirit. If you are lead by the Spirit, then you can boldly confess blessings instead of curses over your life. Instead of calamity coming upon your property, you can confess prosperity. Instead of disease coming upon your body, you can confess complete healing. As you watch this faith-building sermon, prepare to walk in a new level of authority as you are reminded of your position in the finished work of Jesus.

Dealing with Despair - Dr. Brian Keesler
Sermon Recap
No matter what we are up against, God is faithful. In the sermon, Dealing with Despair, Dr. Brian Keesler delivers an uplifting message about what to do when we encounter disappointment, discouragement, and depression. When a believer faces a seemingly insurmountable issue one of the first actions they must take is to run and hide in God’s presence—not run and hide from the problem. Dr. Keesler reminds listeners that some of the greatest outpourings in the Body of Christ came after some of the darkest moments. The church cannot allow overwhelm to overtake its peace because it has a job to do. As long as we are here on this Earth our duty is to expand the Kingdom of God by letting His light shine through us. As you watch this sermon, find strength as you remember that you are victorious in Christ no matter what.
