Naaman: From "I Thought" to Self Surrender

7/1/2022
The importance of surrendering yourself to God, rather than following your own "I thought" ideas, is highlighted in 2 Kings 5 in the various reactions of four figures: the maid who served Naaman's wife made a bold declaration of faith; the king of Israel thought highly of himself and assumed the worst; Naaman, full of pride, did not listen to instructions, but eventually submitted to God's way and God healed him; and Gehazi, Elisha's servant, disobeyed his master, taking payment that the...

The Dry Brook Experience: A Lesson in God's Provision

6/30/2022
God led Elijah one step at a time through the dry brook experience, each step with a purpose. When it seemed like God's provision for Elijah was depleted, he learned that God provides bread, strength, and instruction for each new day, and when one trial ended it was time to grow and move on in faith to the next experience. God puts us through the winepress before He brings us to the place of victory. VF-2089 1 Kings 16-18 Watch, Listen and Learn 24x7 at PastorMelissaScott.com Pastor...

The God of the Bible is with Us Today

6/29/2022
When we are overwhelmed by our circumstances, we often look in the wrong places for strength and help. God is able and has not changed; we must look to Him rather than focusing on His servants. In His mercy and tenderness, He will minister to us in our weariness and strengthen us for His work.

The King's Highway

6/28/2022
This message starts out with the question: How many of you have lived in the 'what could have been mode?' With this backdrop, the calling and servitude of Elisha is used as a picture to show how God works in the called one's life: like Elisha, each person will have many chances to either turn back to their old life or cross over Jordan, keeping their eyes on The Master.

Set Your Focus Aright with God

6/27/2022
On the heels of every great victory comes something that plunges us back into the low place. Elijah’s life is an example. Many times he walked by faith and yet in fear he made an about face to walk by sight. The lesson is that we must put our focus on God and His will and not on our circumstance. God’s will is found in the small things, not in the big neon signs. He has a purpose and a commission for us to walk the life of faith. VF-1881 1 Kings 19 Watch, Listen and Learn 24x7 at...

God's in Control

6/24/2022
God's in control. He showed that He's in control of history by His prophecies and use of a heathen king, Cyrus, and He's also in control of your life and mine. The challenge of this message is to consider our ways. Are we striving against God's purposes, talking back to the Potter and saying, “He can't with me” or, “What could I possibly do?” Or are we looking at the pattern of God's way with Cyrus and saying, “Lord, Thy will be done. If You accomplished Your purposes with Cyrus, a heathen...

God Has a Plan and You Are in It

Zerubbabel was born in Babylon. He was an unlikely person to return and rebuild Jerusalem; yet he did. He was chosen by God to rebuild and preserve the bloodline to Christ.

The Arm of The LORD

6/21/2022
Why the instruction to “confess Jesus”, as read in Romans 10, is always taken out of context, and used in error to try and lead people to salvation. This first applied to the Jews in Jesus’ day who would not confess He was their Messiah for fear they would be put out of the synagogue. For those with the capacity to receive, we need only amen the report.

Wait on God: Adhere to His Word

6/17/2022
Prayers in our darkest hour, borne out of need for divine manifestation, do bear fruit. There is a progression of prayer in Isaiah 64, asking God, with boldness, to come down and to bring His presence and show Himself with power. God works the impossible for those who love and wait on Him and adhere to His Word. He will see you through when you dig in and cling to Him and His Word, get in the trench and wait there, and continue to stay by the stuff. VF-2093 Isaiah 64:4 Watch, Listen and...

Dare to be Daniel in the Modern-Day Lion's Den

Daniel was a man who purposed to please God, prayed to God, and received power from God. When enemies conspired to bring the peril of the lion's den, Daniel did not shrink back, but continued in his worship to God. The life of faith is not one of cowardice; God will bring deliverance in a time of trouble when we stand on His Word in the face of our modern-day lion's den.

Hannah: A Mother's Prayer in a Dark Time

6/15/2022
Hannah is an example to all of God’s children of how to act in a dark time. In her barrenness she made a vow to God, and she kept it instead of making excuses. She earnestly prayed to the Lord and faithed to see Him answer her prayer. Our prayers are heard by the Lord; keep praying for the future of this ministry and those things that will bring Him glory. Our prayers have an effect, and God will make His will come to pass. VF-2184 1 Samuel 1-2 Watch, Listen and Learn 24x7 at...

I'm Here, God. Now What?

6/13/2022
A lot of times people feel the tug of God and they understand, “Yes, God called me.” But once they come into the church they think, “I’m here, God. Now what?” Taking a page out of Abraham’s life teaches us about the life of faith: what to expect, and what to be open to and aware of as we begin making our own faith journey.

Put God First at Any Cost

6/10/2022
God tested Abraham to see if his devotion to God was stronger than his love for his son. Abraham trusted God would keep His promise, and for his obedience God provided a substitute sacrifice. This event foreshadows the ultimate sacrifice of Christ and serves as a reminder for us to look for God’s lesson in our crisis. God will test us to see what is in our hearts, to see if we will put Him above all else. VF-2328 Genesis 22:1-19 Watch, Listen and Learn 24x7 at PastorMelissaScott.com Pastor...

What Happened to the Ark of the Covenant?

Job: Faith Fortified in Adversity

When Job was tested by God, he suffered great pain and loss. God was trying to teach him but he failed to understand the lesson, so God had to set him straight.

Rahab: Never Judge a Book by Its Cover

6/7/2022
The faith of a Canaanite whore, Rahab, teaches us to never judge a book by its cover! Even though she was a pagan, she knew something about the living God that most Canaanite people probably didn’t know: He alone is able to save. Simply put, this woman had heard about the power of God and all the victories He had won for the children of Israel, and she said “I want that too!” For her simple act of faith God spared her and her entire family from destruction. That one act which typifies the...

Focus on Christ: A Nail in a Sure Place

6/6/2022
There are two types of people in God’s economy: those who serve self and those who serve God. Isaiah juxtaposes Shebna, who identified with flesh and death, with Eliakim, who put God first and whose name means “one whom God raises up.” Eliakim is a type of Christ and God fastened him as a nail in a sure place, while everything Shebna heaped upon himself was taken from him. We all need to take spiritual inventory of who we identify with and where we put our focus. VF-2324 Isaiah...
