Unforgiveness will rob you of the spirit of thanksgiving.
Unforgiveness will rob you of the spirit of thanksgiving.
In Psalm 133, the psalmist declares the beauty of unity—coming together—but it's something we intentionally prepare our hearts for. In a time of division, unity is needed now more than ever. And as Claude Houde challenges, even though we may have differences we are called to have love for one another.
Pastor Claude Houde examines Psalm 1, and the direction it gives us in pursuing true happiness. For some, happiness can seem fleeting; while for others it seems circumstantial. True happiness from God is spiritual and supernatural. Our life must be truly and deeply rooted in Christ if we want happiness through every season of life.
Without faith it is impossible to please God and we remain prisoners to our past hurts. The Bible shows Abraham as an example of faith and in Genesis, Abraham exemplifies three elements of faith. Faith that refuses to be limited by what is seen and faith that releases the hurts and pains from the past. Claude Houde encourages us to ask the question: Are you willing to have the faith that releases bitterness in order to step into the increase of God?
Communion with the Holy Spirit is your supreme calling, the source of supernatural service for God, and what the enemy will attack most in your life. Claude Houde inspires us to seek a daily walk with the Holy Spirit because only though him can we see, speak, stand against and shine for Christ supernaturally.
There are enemies to your faith; obstacles and forces clamoring to steal your trust in God and his provision. When hope seems far off, the answer invisible, or the beginning small, trust in a God who provides abundantly more than you need. In this sermon, Claude Houde reminds us of the faithfulness of God in even the most dire situations.
Do you face a storm that threatens to shipwreck your life? Reflecting on Acts 27, Claude Houde shares God's plan for your storm and encourages you that there is a miracle waiting on the other side.
Hurt from others, particularly those we care about, can have devastating effects in our life. Sometimes we hold on to the bitterness and unforgiveness to our own demise. However, God calls each of us to forgive. In this powerful sermon, Claude Houde reminds us that we are never more like God than when we forgive others in faith.
We often go through storms, wrestling with their pain and purpose. This week, Pastor Claude Houde takes a look at the lives of Jesus and the disciples to share hope for your storm and how to navigate them.
Spiritual warfare can hit us when we least expect it, or worse yet, we might not even realize we're in the middle of a spiritual battle. Pastor Claud Houde talks about how believers can identify attacks and do battle against the forces of evil in their minds, hearts and lives.
