We are not Saved by Good Works
April 08, 2024 11:00 - 57 minutes - 39.3 MBGod’s word makes it clear that what He wants from us is faith. James is the only writer in the Bible to focus on works. If we walk obediently in the good works that God has prepared, we will then bear fruit for Him. We make it into heaven by faith, nothing else.

Understanding Communion: Truth vs. Traditions
April 05, 2024 11:00 - 57 minutes - 39.6 MBPartaking communion began as an act of remembrance, recognizing the finished work of Christ at the cross and looking to His future return. There are many traditions in church history that have wrongly interpreted that before you partake you must confess your sins, be confirmed in the faith, or be worthy to partake. We are all unworthy, but we’re made worthy, not in any act we do, but by the blood of the Lamb. Watch, Listen and Learn 24x7 at PastorMelissaScott.com Pastor Melissa Scott t...
God Does Not Require Celibacy
April 04, 2024 11:00 - 56 minutes - 39.1 MBGod’s not a killjoy. He wants all of His servants to have the unity and joy of a significant other because He instituted marriage. It’s the church, specifically the Roman Catholic church, who has taken text out of context to mandate celibacy. This was NEVER something that God required, and in this message, you can examine the information for yourself.

Peter Is NOT the Rock
April 03, 2024 11:00 - 56 minutes - 39.1 MBGreek grammar makes it clear that Jesus did not say He would build the church upon Peter; He said He would build it on Peter’s statement “Thou art the Christ.” The church was never meant to perpetuate the practices of the synagogues or to graft on traditions out of paganism. The dogmas of man have led people away from what God intended the church to be.

God Doesn’t Come from Dogma
April 02, 2024 11:00 - 57 minutes - 39.2 MBIf people are not studying the word of God, they can easily be deceived. There are many man-made dogmas in the church, but they have no basis in Scripture.

Why We are Protestants
April 01, 2024 11:00 - 56 minutes - 39 MBWhat happened to the church following Jesus’ death, resurrection, and ascension that it drifted so far from its original mission? Concepts that are nowhere to be found in Scripture started to be added-on and introduced as doctrine. Fast forward to today’s church and it’s clear that we need to be reminded of why we are Protestants, because we’re due for a reformation.

March 29, 2024 11:00 - 41 minutes - 28.8 MBTeaching on sanctification and holiness to give a clear definition of what it is and what it is not: sanctification is not a human activity. It is an activity of God. We are “under construction” and won’t be complete until we stand before Him. Therefore, we are to take comfort in the fact that God is not ashamed to call us His family.

The Sprinkled Blood
March 28, 2024 11:00 - 57 minutes - 39.7 MBThere can be no imitation for holiness. The power of God is the power of salvation. The change that goes on inside of you is God’s transformation. The self cannot change itself. The call of God, beginning with the foreknowledge of God, is implanted in us. The focus of the self will not change without God placing his spirit in you and in me.

The Pursuit of Peace and the Holiness of God
March 21, 2024 11:00 - 58 minutes - 39.9 MBPart of understanding the holiness of God is being aware that He has placed a deposit of His peace in our hearts, which gives us the capacity to pursue peace with all.

God for Our Profit, Chastens Us
March 20, 2024 11:00 - 58 minutes - 39.8 MBGod chastens us as a loving parent trains and teaches a child, sometimes for correction and sometimes for prevention. It is not punishment; it is something He has to do for our benefit to conform us to the image and likeness of Christ so that we may be partakers of His holiness in eternity. There is no pleasure in chastisement, but He does it out of love, and we will come through it transformed and be displayed as His treasures in eternity.

Sanctified Wholly by the God of Peace
March 19, 2024 11:00 - 57 minutes - 39.7 MBWriting to the Thessalonians, Paul prayed that the God of peace may wholly sanctify us upon Christ's return, and until then that He would watch over us and preserve us. We are not sinless; the flesh is at war with the Spirit, and there is the possibility we will succumb to temptation, but when we take a step back to God, He is quick to meet us. The finishing process will not be completed in our lifetimes, but those who come to know God and His ways and who keep faithing in Him are being tran...
God's Catheterizing Process
March 18, 2024 11:00 - 57 minutes - 39.4 MBNot only has God saved us through the shed blood of His son Jesus Christ, He is actively in the process of changing us into His image and likeness. The process He uses is not meant to change us on the outside, but rather a lifelong catheterizing process where He gets straight to the heart. As long as we remain yielded open vessels, He will do the work that’s needed for us to be able to see Him.

Holy and Blameless Before Him in Love
March 15, 2024 11:00 - 55 minutes - 37.8 MBWe don't find God; He chose us from among those He didn’t choose before the world was formed. The purpose of the choice is that we could be holy and without blame when we finally come before Him in love. Becoming holy and blameless before Him is not a change we make in ourselves. He makes that change in us for our faith. VF-2204 Ephesians 1:4 Watch, Listen and Learn 24x7 at PastorMelissaScott.com Pastor Melissa Scott teaches from Faith Center in Glendale.

The Transformative Process of Sanctification
March 14, 2024 11:00 - 57 minutes - 39.7 MBSanctification is not an emotional response or an outward imitation of what we think holiness is; it is an operation of the Holy Spirit transforming us from the inside, which then out rays His nature. When Christlikeness shines forth on the outside, it is because it is radiating out from the changes God has made on the inside. As we yield ourselves to Him in dedication, He renews our minds and equips us for service. We will always face trench warfare and go through pressure as we continue...
How Does Sanctification Work?
March 13, 2024 11:00 - 58 minutes - 39.9 MBMoving into the New Testament, we learn that we cannot apply a singular definition to holiness and sanctification. In Jesus' high priestly prayer, we see that sanctification is not something we endeavor to do, but rather a passive act on our part; something that is initiated by God to conform us to the image and likeness of Christ as we are faithing in Him.

God's Way vs. Getting the Job Done
March 12, 2024 11:00 - 57 minutes - 39.5 MBWhen you are doing something for God, the way you do it is more important than getting the job done. You do it His way because the instruction of the Lord is holy. When David first tried to bring the Ark of the Covenant to Jerusalem, it was not according to God's instruction and resulted in the death of Uzza for touching the Ark. When David put God first and followed His instructions and preparations and offered sacrifices, fear was replaced by joy, and the Ark was brought into Jerusalem. V...
God Demands Respect
March 11, 2024 11:00 - 57 minutes - 39.2 MBIn the midst of laying out God's instructions to His people, there is the story of an incident God used to make an example. The son of an Israelitish woman was condemned to death for cursing the name of God. God made it clear that He would not tolerate blasphemy; He demands respect. Failing to recognize that God is who He says He is, especially when we have His presence with us, is like a knife piercing His heart.

Jehovah: The LORD that Sanctifies
March 08, 2024 12:00 - 57 minutes - 39.3 MBGod reveals His names in the Bible through His actions and by declaring His name. When He spoke to Moses, God names Himself the LORD that sanctifies. God deigns to bend down and speak to earthy people and to save them. As we go in faith, our relationship with God changes, and He reveals Himself in our needs; when God sets you apart, He begins a work in you, and He will finish it.

Obedience: Take God at His Word
March 07, 2024 12:00 - 58 minutes - 40.1 MBIn the two events of God providing water from the rock, Moses obeyed God's instructions the first time, but disobeyed the second time and wrested God's word with severe consequences. This obedience and disobedience illustrates a dimension of understanding holiness and sanctification. God doesn't want us to treat His words casually; His word is holy. Looking at holiness and sanctification, our running to the voice of the Sayer is a stepping stone in God's direction. If our ears are tuned ...
Holiness Comes From God
March 06, 2024 12:00 - 58 minutes - 39.8 MBTo shed more light on "holiness" and "sanctification", this message takes us into the book of Leviticus. Rather than reading it as a set of rules in legalism, the bird’s eye view approach allows us to see what God is calling "holy": that which is of Him, pleasing to Him, and set apart for the purpose of worship to Him versus that which God is calling "common," profane, pagan, and not of Him.

Holiness: God's Presence Conforming You to His Image
March 05, 2024 12:00 - 58 minutes - 39.9 MBThe subject of holiness and sanctification cannot be treated apart from God and His presence. The ground around the burning bush and Mount Sinai was hallowed because of His presence. In the Old Testament there are degrees of holiness, but in the New Testament and today, God's Spirit is in us making us holy. Sanctification is not the act or process of justification; it is the activity of the presence of God to change us into His image and likeness. VF-2196 Watch, Listen and Learn 24x7 at...
A Skeptic's Introduction to Christianity
March 04, 2024 12:00 - 58 minutes - 62.7 MBThe beginning of a series for the sake of two people who are dear friends but far from the knowledge of God. Bad experiences with the church at large or a "brand" of Christianity cause many to be turned off on the church. There is corruption in all of humanity, so we should not ignore God because of that. A look at the church history surrounding Easter and at the traditions of men becoming dogma show why we should not simply trust the institution, but we can still trust God. VF-2178 Wat...
Set Apart, but Not Perfect
March 04, 2024 12:00 - 58 minutes - 39.9 MBStudying grammar, particularly antonyms like "common" and "profane", helps us better understand the original meanings of the Hebrew words related to holiness and sanctification. We have a language problem, where holiness is made synonymous with perfection; it cannot mean perfection or sinlessness except when speaking of God and His attributes. When God declares people holy, they are set apart and dedicated, not perfect. VF-2195 Leviticus 21:1-15 Watch, Listen and Learn 24x7 at PastorMeli...

March 01, 2024 12:00 - 56 minutes - 38.9 MBBreaking down the basic Hebrew verbs shows us that God does the sanctifying and it is a process, not a state we remain in consistently.

A Foundation for Understanding Sanctification
February 28, 2024 12:00 - 57 minutes - 39.6 MBWhat the Bible means by the word "sanctification" is difficult to understand in English because different streams of words were used simultaneously to translate these concepts. It is faulty understanding and bad theology that equate holiness with morality or perfection; the meaning in the original languages was to be set apart by God for His purposes. Rightly understood, it is not something we can do to ourselves but rather something done to us by the Holy Spirit. VF-2192 Watch, Listen ...
The Mystery of Salvation in Christ
February 27, 2024 12:00 - 58 minutes - 40 MBThe word “mystery”, if we understand its Biblical use and more specifically its use by the apostle Paul in the book of Colossians, is not something cryptic that we can’t know or understand; it’s revealed in the person and work of Jesus Christ: the mind-boggling thing that we can be saved by something that happened over 2,000 years ago!

God has to reconcile our conscience, our heart and its affections, and our will in order to bring us back to Him. If we continue in the faith, He will be able to present us holy, unpolluted, and having no guilt attached to us before Him in heaven.

God Reconciled All Things to Himself
February 22, 2024 12:00 - 57 minutes - 39.6 MBJust as God created all things, He has reconciled all things to Himself. That doesn’t mean that all will be saved, but rather that Christ’s sacrifice at the cross made peace, making it possible for us to become friends of God instead of enemies. From that moment on, a change began to occur in those who hear and respond. This change is not merely a disposition of an individual, nor their legal relationship to God, but a total state of his or her life! VF-2272 Colossians 1:20 Watch, Listen ...

Unseen Powers: Two Forces at Work
February 17, 2024 12:00 - 57 minutes - 39.8 MBContinuing the excursion on angels, it is clear that there are many references to angels through the Scriptures. The elect, un-fallen angels that remain holy and dedicated to God carry out His will, deliver messages, and give guidance and help to humans as His representatives. The evil, fallen angels report to the god of this world, satan, and bring twisted messages designed to derail us from the path of faith. It is important to recognize the reality of these two forces at work, and to put...
The Point and Purpose of Angels
February 16, 2024 12:00 - 57 minutes - 39.2 MBAs background to the teaching Paul had to do to counter the false doctrine of angel worship, we can look to the Scriptures, especially the Pentateuch, to make sure we understand the nature and role of angels. There are different categories of sometimes seen and sometimes unseen created beings who carry out assignments from God, and some references to "the angel of the Lord" are actually a manifestation of God Himself. Ultimately, whether they are good or evil angels, they are not to be wors...

February 14, 2024 12:00 - 57 minutes - 39.5 MBStudying the use of the Greek word prototokos, being translated “firstborn” in Colossians 1:15, we see that it is impossible to conclude that Jesus is a created being. Rather, He is the first of His kind, firstborn of all creation to be raised up from the dead. He set the pattern for those who follow Him by faith, which means we will follow after Him in that same way!

February 13, 2024 12:00 - 57 minutes - 39.3 MBThe first half of Colossians 1:15 declares that Christ is the image or “icon” of the invisible God. The heretical idea that Christ was merely like God and not of the same substance crept into the early church, and even today some believe Christ is only a created being.
