And they also have the ground force that is doing the job in the trenches. This message deals with God's people being the occupational force of the Kingdom of God in the earth. We are commissioned with the order to enforce the victory Jesus gained at Calvary. How do we do this? Primarily through prayer and proclaiming God's Word. http://www.sermoncloud.com/abundant-life-church-mt-juliet/kingdom-enforcers http://media.monkserve.com/EKK/2113/kingdom-enforcers.mp3 Sun, 29 Aug 2010 12:40:40 GMT Engaging God Through Prayer enforcers,occupy,ground_force,satan's_modus_operandi If He hears us, we know that we have the petitions we have asked. How can we know He hears us? "We have this confidence, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us." This message deals with two verses in 1 John 5 that might unlock and clarify your prayer life. Learn what praying according to God's will actually means. And then begin to engage once again with your God through the avenue of prayer He has established. http://www.sermoncloud.com/abundant-life-church-mt-juliet/praying-according-gods-will http://media.monkserve.com/EKK/2113/praying-according-gods-will.mp3 Sun, 22 Aug 2010 21:39:47 GMT Larry Grainger Engaging God Through Prayer prayer,kingdom,god's_will With many Christians today leading inconsistent and sometimes waning of faith lives, it is refreshing to hear admonishments from God's Word to be established in Him in every aspect of our lives. God establishes your steps; your heart; His throne; and several more topics are covered in this message. Listen and be encouraged. http://www.sermoncloud.com/abundant-life-church-mt-juliet/be-established http://media.monkserve.com/EKK/2113/be-established.mp3 Sun, 15 Aug 2010 22:20:50 GMT Ronald Gray Guest Speaker hot_and_cold,established,consistent The natural culmination of exploring our identity in Christ (restored, new creations, redeemed, justified, and reconciled) is assuming the position of peculiar ambassadors of Christ. This message examines these two words and completes this series with a look at our identity as God's special people sown into the earth as His ambassadors. http://www.sermoncloud.com/abundant-life-church-mt-juliet/peculiar-ambassadors http://media.monkserve.com/EKK/2113/peculiar-ambassadors.mp3 Sun, 08 Aug 2010 20:49:11 GMT Larry Grainger Who Are You Anyway? Who are you anyway? It is important to get past good theology and embrace our position in Christ due to His work on our behalf. Learn or be reminded of the fact that you are redeemed; you are justified in God's sight; and you have been reconciled to your God. Be encouraged in who you are in Him and cease buying into the condemnation and guilt dished out by our enemy. http://www.sermoncloud.com/abundant-life-church-mt-juliet/redeemed-justified-reconciled http://media.monkserve.com/EKK/2113/redeemed-justified-reconciled.mp3 Sun, 01 Aug 2010 18:29:23 GMT Larry Grainger Who Are You Anyway? redemption,reconciliation,justification,propitiation Who are you anyway? One important answer to this question is found in 2 Corinthians where Paul teaches us that believers in Christ are new creatures or new creations. We are that which has never existed before by the power and dynamic of God's Spirit. Learn about the significance of being "in Christ" rather than just following someone's beliefs. Learn about your new birth. Then posture yourself as one who has become a new creation in Christ. http://www.sermoncloud.com/abundant-life-church-mt-juliet/fresh-and-novel http://media.monkserve.com/EKK/2113/fresh-and-novel.mp3 Sun, 25 Jul 2010 21:06:35 GMT Larry Grainger Who Are You Anyway? new_creation,in_christ,new_things Instead of the usual mission trip to Acuna Mexico, this year Abundant Life Church stayed home and embarked on Mission Nashville. Most of the time was spent assisting the homeless of our city who had been driven from their "homes" by the recent floods in the Nashville Area. This is a number of the people involved relating their perspectives on the week and how it affected them. It begins with State House Representative Terry Lynn Weaver sharing and singing for us.

This message uses the story of the Prodigal Son to illustrate the restoration of the believer in Christ to God's original design displayed in the Garden of Eden and the declaration of God the Father. Rather than displaying a posture of defeat and uselessness, we see our role as vice-regents with the Creator as we assume our role in His kingdom. http://www.sermoncloud.com/abundant-life-church-mt-juliet/welcome-back-to-the-original-design http://media.monkserve.com/EKK/2113/welcome-back-to-the-original-design.mp3 Sun, 04 Jul 2010 15:09:39 GMT Larry Grainger Who Are You Anyway? restoration,robe,ring,shoes,design,dominion Where were we when Christ redeemed us and how did we get there?

This message examines the value of failure if we will allow the Father to utilize our failures, which expose our weaknesses, and ultimately turn them into victories for Him. http://www.sermoncloud.com/abundant-life-church-mt-juliet/overcoming-failure http://media.monkserve.com/EKK/2113/overcoming-failure.mp3 Sun, 23 May 2010 14:07:21 GMT Adam Grainger Guest Speaker failure,weakness,grace The conclusion of the series of studies on The Acts of the Holy Spirit deals with the completion of the Apostle Paul's journey to Rome. The shipwreck, the befriending of the locals, and conclusionary responses all parallel the events of Middle Tennessee in recent days, where this message was delivered.

We mine four lessons from this story; two from the lips of Paul and two from the Lord Jesus. Righteousness, integrity, surrender, breaking the darkness in peoples lives with the light of life, and holding to "no other things" than that which has been given us in God's Word. http://www.sermoncloud.com/abundant-life-church-mt-juliet/acts-xxv-xxvi http://media.monkserve.com/EKK/2113/acts-xxv-xxvi.mp3 Sun, 11 Apr 2010 20:43:42 GMT Larry Grainger The Acts of the Holy Spirit righteousness,integrity,surrender,darkness,light In the 24th chapter of Acts Paul declares that he is on trial primarily because of his proclaiming the resurrection of the dead. As Jesus is the first fruits of the resurrection, we look at the resurrection of Christ in this message and seven truths that benefit the believer in Christ as a result of there being an empty tomb where Jesus was buried. http://www.sermoncloud.com/abundant-life-church-mt-juliet/acts-xxiv-scene-i-ii http://media.monkserve.com/EKK/2113/acts-xxiv-scene-i-ii.mp3 Sun, 04 Apr 2010 15:18:38 GMT Larry Grainger The Acts of the Holy Spirit easter,resurrection,truth Revelation 12 teaches us that when the dragon (Satan) could not defeat Jesus the Son of God, he then turned his attention to those "who keep the commandments of God and hold to the testimony of Jesus." The devil has always particularly focused his attention and energy on the children and young people. This is a sobering reminder of the fact, "The devil wants your kids." http://www.sermoncloud.com/abundant-life-church-mt-juliet/the-dragon-and-the-baby http://media.monkserve.com/EKK/2113/the-dragon-and-the-baby.mp3 Sun, 28 Mar 2010 20:33:36 GMT Charles Simpson Guest Speaker revelation,children,dragon,culture Beginning in Acts 21:30 through the end of the Acts of the Holy Spirit, we find the apostle Paul in custody and in some form of arrest. Using the path of Paul we learn in this message the value of being arrested by the Lord for His purpose. We see the plan of God fulfilled by Paul being placed under arrest and how that translates to us. The question we must ask ourselves is, "Have we been arrested by God?" http://www.sermoncloud.com/abundant-life-church-mt-juliet/arrested-for-purpose http://media.monkserve.com/EKK/2113/arrested-for-purpose.mp3 Sun, 21 Mar 2010 14:02:05 GMT Larry Grainger The Acts of the Holy Spirit arrested,surrendered,purpose This passage in Acts delivers the first account of the apostle Paul recounting how God met him on the road to Damascus and "apprehended" him for His kingdom. We see the value of testimony for the disciple of Christ. We also take a look at zeal and how it can be a good thing, but is often misdirected and misplaced. Finally, this message takes a look at Paul's question to the Lord Jesus on the road to Damascus, "What shall I do, Lord?" and how we can respond accordingly. http://www.sermoncloud.com/abundant-life-church-mt-juliet/acts-xxia-xxii-the-testimony-of-paul http://media.monkserve.com/EKK/2113/acts-xxia-xxii-the-testimony-of-paul.mp3 Sun, 14 Mar 2010 21:26:25 GMT Larry Grainger The Acts of the Holy Spirit obedience,zeal,testimony Jonah was told by the Lord to arise and go proclaim God's judgment to Nineveh. He went the opposite direction. The events that followed left us a wealth of lessons that can assist us in our walk with our Lord. This teaching addresses just a few of those lessons, but valuable ones nonetheless. It concludes with the question, "Where or who is your Nineveh?" http://www.sermoncloud.com/abundant-life-church-mt-juliet/lessons-from-the-story-of-jonah http://media.monkserve.com/EKK/2113/lessons-from-the-story-of-jonah.mp3 Sun, 07 Mar 2010 22:10:20 GMT Larry Grainger Lessons from the Story of Jonah jonah,nineveh,compassion,mercy
