This series is a study of how the biggest names in the Bible understood and responded to the call of the unknown. Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord. He was a just and perfect man. Because of this distinction, Noah was chosen to go into the unknown.

This is an encouragement to do the right thing. Galatians 6:7-9 All we have to do is sow towards what we desire to receive. If you do that, you will get it in due season. The trick, you can’t give up. You can’t get tired of doing the right thing. This text is a promise from God that if you sow it, you will reap it!

There are people who are in places of leadership that should not be there. Herod, although he was in government leadership, should not have been there. He became jealous of a child. It caused him to engage in homicidal tendencies & psychotic thoughts because he was in a place of insecurity. No matter who is in position of authority you must seek God for these 3 things. 1. SPIRITUAL SENSITIVITY There’s some things that the spirit can warn you of. 2. SPIRITUAL WISDOM & AUTHORITY: Leaders, seek the Lord to make sure you have active wisdom as you give spiritual oversight. 3. SAFE SPACES: It may challenge your comfort, but make the decision to create a safe space for your family.

Likewise, the Father sowed his Son to reap His harvest. This is the evidence of Gods great love to us. Nothing can separate us from the Love of God! 9 This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. 10 This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.

Sometimes the unexpected can throw us off. But fear not because God has a message - Good news. Learn how to experience His joy. The joy of the Lord is your strength! 7 and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them. 8 And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. 9 An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. 10 But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. 11 Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. 12 This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.” 13 Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, 14 “Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.” 15 When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let’s go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about.” CONNECT WITH HEAVENLY VISION https://www.hvcla.com https://www.facebook.com/hvcla https://www.instagram.com/hvcla https://www.twitter.com/hvcla CONNECT WITH OUR PASTOR JAMES RAY TAYLOR Twitter: https://twitter.com/bishopjrtaylor Instagram: https://instagram.com/jamesraytaylor LISTEN ON THE GO Podcast: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/heavenly-vision/id1254623441?mt=2 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4tyE6BAoUPZHuiRNvnUj6F?si=UQjz-IIrRpWGqumBH2ULNA HVCLA: http://www.hvcla.com/messages/listen-on-the-go Share how The Word has blessed you by emailing amen@hvcla.com. http://www.hvcla.com/messages/listen-on-the-go?id=2222978 Sun, 01 Dec 2019 00:00:00 -1000 00:06:01 Minister David Tucker Luke 3:4-6 Preparation is the action or process of being made ready.

He manages his emotions well enough to rise up and give a blessing to the people. Considering the expanse of life we must all turn our thoughts toward the contributions we make to society. If you want your contribution to be... • endowing, you will give what you earned • enlightening, you will give what you have learned • empowering, you will give who you have become One key part of transition is contribution. “It is more blessed to give than receive”. This will lighten your journey for the road ahead.

You can determine how great of an individual you are by how you stand when a challenge comes. We all deal with challenges, but how can you get strength? 1. The only suitable place for your frustration to land is on the faithfulness of God. If you want to preserve your promise, take your frustrations to God. 2. You must never allow mans waywardness to overshadow Gods holiness. Righteous suffering is insured. But you invalidate your insurance when you allow your frustration to cause you to act in a way that you shouldn’t. Why was God so upset at Moses hitting the rock? 1 Corinthians 10:1-4 The rock is Jesus. Moses missed the promise land because he hit Jesus. He rejected the power of God. 🛑 Stop hitting Jesus! Consider ways you’ve taken your frustrations out on God and repent. http://www.hvcla.com/messages/listen-on-the-go?id=2196740 Sun, 17 Nov 2019 00:00:00 -1000 00:57:42 Bishop James Ray Taylor Transition - Courage Bishop James Ray Taylor shares with us the courage we should have as we transition. Key Scripture Deuteronomy 31 1. COURAGE TO CONTINUE (v 1-6) Beyond your trauma, God is still with you. If God is with you, you will have the courage to continue. 2. COURAGE TO BE CONSISTENT (v 7-8) Guard your consistency! Some of us go through things because God wants to use you as a weapon. But, He can’t train you if you’re not consistent. 3. COURAGE TO BE CORRECT (v 19-23) As soon as you know what’s right, you should correct. God will test your integrity. Make the choice to be correct.

Deuteronomy 30:15-20 The choices you make will determine the life that you live. 1. Each of us must make a choice, whether on the individual or institutional level. 2. The choices we make are irrevocable, however, they are transferable. 3. The best choices are made through absorbed wisdom, rather than harbored wrath.

Key Scripture: Matthew 13:53-58 HONOR: Honor is the proper placement of value, recognition, celebration, and sacrifice. You need all of these to thrive in life. • Recognition - If someone that does something that needs to be recognized, acknowledge them with honor. • Celebration - Everyone needs to be celebrated. Find your party! • Sacrifice - Any relationship that you value ought to cost something. If you can’t sacrifice your station for relation, chances are you’re not honoring. Anyone can be your friend when you’re comfortable. We will live a life of honor! http://www.hvcla.com/messages/listen-on-the-go?id=2155735 Sun, 27 Oct 2019 00:00:00 -1000 00:46:26 Pastor Michael Johnson Honor continues with Pastor Michael Johnson with The Power of Honor. Here are some major keys that will help to unlock some things in your life. 1. The power of honor can afford you an audience creating an opportunity for you to leave a legacy of honor. 2. The power of honor can shift your disposition and give you a whole new way in how you deal with dishonor. 3. The power of honor can help you manage the rhetoric of people trying to influence you to react instead of responding to dishonorable people. There’s a difference between reacting and responding. 4. The power of honor can cause your enemies to be at peace with your future whether they like it or not (v20). If you maintain being at a level of honor, they have no choice but to be at peace with your future! Be consistent in living a life of honor.

Should we desire to be great we must learn the pace of the Spirit of God and stay in sync with regardless of our opinions, desires, or necessities. When we move at the pace of God you will always be at the place we should.

After you find your focus, remember to keep it simple. 🔑Key Scripture: Matthew 5:33-37 33 “Again you have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not swear falsely, but shall perform to the Lord what you have sworn.’ 34 But I say to you, Do not take an oath at all, either by heaven, for it is the throne of God, 35 or by the earth, for it is his footstool, or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King. 36 And do not take an oath by your head, for you cannot make one hair white or black. 37 Let what you say be simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’; anything more than this comes from evil. 🔓Consider the implications of saying yes or no. 🔓Measure the obligations that come with you answer. 🔓Stay for the duration of your commitment.

Morning by morning he awakens; he awakens my ear to hear as those who are taught. 5 The Lord GOD has opened my ear, and I was not rebellious; I turned not backward. 6 I gave my back to those who strike, and my cheeks to those who pull out the beard; I hid not my face from disgrace and spitting. 7 But the Lord GOD helps me; therefore I have not been disgraced; therefore I have set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be put to shame. Here are a few key takeaways… 🔓Remain Teachable As long as you remain teachable you will have the ability to fortify focus. 🔓Seek to encourage more than you inform You must discern when to use both 🔓Posture yourself for daily inspiration through daily devotion It is the practice of devotion that puts us in a place where we are sensitive to the voice of God. 🔓Obey what you hear God may call you to do something that you are uncomfortable with but it may be the very thing that is connected to your destiny.

And suddenly there came from heaven a sound like a mighty rushing wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. And divided tongues as of fire appeared to them and rested on each one of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance. The result of this divine movement was massive salvation and we believe that is still the will of God today. We as those who have been filled with the Holy Spirit should not boast of any gifts as a sign of spiritual affluence or dominance but we should rather leverage it for the sake of communicating God's divine purposes to humanity. If you have been filled with the Holy Spirit; ask the Lord, "what do you want to communicate through me?” If this word blessed you in any way let us know at amen@hvcla.com CONNECT WITH HEAVENLY VISION https://www.hvcla.com https://www.facebook.com/hvcla https://www.instagram.com/hvcla https://www.twitter.com/hvcla CONNECT WITH OUR PASTOR JAMES RAY TAYLOR Twitter: https://twitter.com/bishopjrtaylor Instagram: https://instagram.com/jamesraytaylor LISTEN ON THE GO Podcast: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/heavenly-vision/id1254623441?mt=2 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4tyE6BAoUPZHuiRNvnUj6F?si=UQjz-IIrRpWGqumBH2ULNA HVCLA: http://www.hvcla.com/messages/listen-on-the-go Share how The Word has blessed you by emailing amen@hvcla.com. http://www.hvcla.com/messages/listen-on-the-go?id=1921120 Sun, 09 Jun 2019 00:00:00 -1000 00:45:16 Bishop James Ray Taylor Bishop James Ray Taylor concludes the I Am Not Okay Series with a heavy topic, suicide.

So when the Father declared the the seed of the serpent would bruise His heel He actually was ensuring that while He would not change His Sons suffering He built in a therapeutic method to give him the ability to endure. I don't know what you're going through today or even how painful it might be but the good news is you have a God who's an expert therapist, and he will grant you everything you need to get through whatever you're going through.

GOD ALWAYS HAS A MEANWHILE EVEN IN THE MIDDLE OF YOUR GREATEST MISTAKES and biggest regrets. God has a 3rd person omniscient point of view. Sometimes the path takes you longer than you expected because the plan is ultimately going to take you further than you imagined Sometimes the detour is the door to more than you can imagine The detour doesn't change the destination.

In the beginning of the year we are faced with a decision to either follow our own way, or Gods way. Below are some notes for your convenience. Jeremiah 6:16 Israel in the height of their rebellion were offered a way of escape. Either continue their rebellious road or follow the Ancient Path.

Below are some notes made available for your convenience. Corinthians 4:1-2 "This is how one should regard us, as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God. Moreover, it is required of stewards that they be found faithful. "a steward is one that bears on themselves the marks of ownership. Their very life and existence is proof of their value and worth. 1.Let us build ourselves through service, not status. - Built into ever response to the Gospel story is a unique mystery that has the power to turn hearts to God. 2. The primary attribute of a steward of God is faithfulness. However this faithfulness is not merely based on the fidelity of the steward but on the faithfulness of the one who called him. 3. We are faithful stewards of the mysteries of God, serving Him on this earth by sharing the Gospel and blessing humanity. http://www.hvcla.com/messages/listen-on-the-go?id=1622090 Sun, 04 Nov 2018 00:00:00 -1000 00:28:58 Bishop Taylor Let the grace of God empower and direct you into the direction he has already given you Matthew 11:28-30 http://www.hvcla.com/messages/listen-on-the-go?id=1561314 Mon, 15 Oct 2018 00:00:00 -1000 00:55:34 Pastor DeMarcus Johnson Main Text Genesis 22:1-14 1. Understanding my call and the need for Sacrifice. (Romans 12:1a “I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God.”) 2. Sacrificing my will and ways for His will and ways (Romans 12:1b “to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy, and acceptable to God. Which is your spiritual worship.”) 3. Sacrifice on Purpose (Romans 12:2 Do not be conformed to this world,[a] but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.) http://www.hvcla.com/messages/listen-on-the-go?id=1549374 Mon, 08 Oct 2018 00:00:00 -1000 01:01:31 Bishop Taylor Secure the Bag Matthew 20:1-16 For the kingdom of heaven is like a master of a house who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard. After agreeing with the laborers for a denarius[a] a day, he sent them into his vineyard. And going out about the third hour he saw others standing idle in the marketplace, and to them he said, ‘You go into the vineyard too, and whatever is right I will give you.’ So they went. Going out again about the sixth hour and the ninth hour, he did the same. And about the eleventh hour he went out and found others standing. And he said to them, ‘Why do you stand here idle all day?’ They said to him, ‘Because no one has hired us.’ He said to them, ‘You go into the vineyard too.’ And when evening came, the owner of the vineyard said to his foreman, ‘Call the laborers and pay them their wages, beginning with the last, up to the first.’ And when those hired about the eleventh hour came, each of them received a denarius. Now when those hired first came, they thought they would receive more, but each of them also received a denarius. And on receiving it they grumbled at the master of the house, saying, ‘These last worked only one hour, and you have made them equal to us who have borne the burden of the day and the scorching heat.’ But he replied to one of them, ‘Friend, I am doing you no wrong. Did you not agree with me for a denarius? Take what belongs to you and go. I choose to give to this last worker as I give to you. Am I not allowed to do what I choose with what belongs to me? Or do you begrudge my generosity?’[b] So the last will be first, and the first last.” - According to the urban dictionary “Secure the Bag” is An expression use to describe the act of taking/obtaining advantage of the situation and keeping something of value. - V 1-2. The equation of our calling “Ability + Power x Generosity = Manifestation” Duet. 8:18 - 6am, 9am, 12pm, 3pm & 6pm, why? You were called not for personal gains but for corporate yields - V 9-14 when we view ourselves and others as product we will have inflated views, rather than those based on value. Romans 12:3 / Gold example ( while it can be classified as Asset, Commodity, Currency or Collectible) in reality it’s a market into itself... - V15 Stop trying to make God petty like yourself...He’s love and generosity is faced on His supply, our pettiness is based on our personal hurt and lack. - Rather than act off position and merit, as we do, God acts through Grace and providence. http://www.hvcla.com/messages/listen-on-the-go?id=1537358 Sun, 30 Sep 2018 00:00:00 -1000 00:46:52 Live Panel At the conclusion of our series we thought it best to hear from some special guest on the topic of living their best life. Bishop Taylor along with his 3 special guests transparently share some of their tips and hacks to living their best life. http://www.hvcla.com/messages/listen-on-the-go?id=1531663 Mon, 24 Sep 2018 00:00:00 -1000 00:54:00 Bishop Taylor Romans 5:1-5 (ESV) Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we[a] have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Through him we have also obtained access by faith [b] into this grace in which we stand, and we [c] rejoice [d] in hope of the glory of God. Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us - Despair is the enemy of the believer. It will cause one to conjure real pain, sorrow and fear concerning an idea or concept that may never come to be. Despair is defined as the absence of hope. The most resounding anthem of despair is "it's too late..." - "Hope is being able to see that there is still light despite all the darkness" (Bishop Desmond, Tutu) - The greatest physical example of hope is light. Why because much like light hope is pervasive. Our physical is based solely on what light illuminates, and like wise our spiritual vision is based on what our hope illuminates. - Every "hope that" essentially presupposes a "hope in", thusly our hope must transcend the finite and be ascribed to the infinite. President Dwight D. Eisenhower said, "There are no atheists in foxholes" which denotes the reality that should the situation become critical enough one will need to make a decision; succumb to despair or reach up towards hope. which leads to the text of focus - Verses 1-2 Affirms the reality of faith and it's benefits based solely of the finished work of Jesus Christ - Verse 4 speaks of the redemptive power of suffering. Which is unwelcome but it can prove to be a source of productivity for the believer - Verse 5 expresses the expanse of hope, which at it's peak drives out shame, envelops love and thrives in the Holy Spirit. http://www.hvcla.com/messages/listen-on-the-go?id=1519548 Sun, 16 Sep 2018 00:00:00 -1000 00:48:19 Pastor Michael Johnson 1 Corinthians 1:10 (NKJV) “I appeal to you, brothers, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be united in the same mind and the same judgment.” Mahatma Gandhi said “Unity to be real must stand the severest strain without breaking.” As we approach our text of focus we see a church full of power and potential. However it was also plagued with strife and division. When the Apostle Paul pens this letter to the church his desire was for them to forge past their differences and fine unity within their diversity. Let’s look at the formula he prescribed to bring about unity. Live in agreement - According to Amos 3:3 agreement is necessary for progression. Therefore we must prioritize getting everyone on the same page. Fight division - Jesus teaches us in Matt 12:25 that a house divided cannot stand. Therefore we must give our attention to killing the division not each other. Have the same mind - If we all embrace the mind of Christ, which Paul instructs in Philippians 2:5, our thoughts while they may very will all be founded in love and Aimed towards grace. Give the same judgements - the Greek word for judgement in this text is gnōmē (NO-MAY) which denotes the forming of an option based on purpose rather than proclivity. If wee want to see true unity in our lives we must judge each other based on who God has purposed us to be not just on what we’ve done. THIS IS THE GOSPEL, FOR THIS IS WHST JESUS DID FOR EVERYONE OF US! http://www.hvcla.com/messages/listen-on-the-go?id=1512148 Mon, 10 Sep 2018 00:00:00 -1000 00:57:04 Bishop Taylor Luke 6:27-31 (ESV)  “But I say to you who hear, Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you. To one who strikes you on the cheek, offer the other also, and from one who takes away your cloak do not withhold your tunic[a] either. Give to everyone who begs from you, and from one who takes away your goods do not demand them back. And as you wish that others would do to you, do so to them. “love is flowing goodness, and goodness is the breath of love.” - Dietrich von Hildebrand Goodness is love in action. However from a general western context most of what we do is not goodness but rather gratuity. Generally our actions are based on others merit and the level of pleasure they have afforded us. Thusly what we do towards others is reactionary. The goodness that Jesus is calling us to in today’s text is a goodness based on love. And this love is UNCONDITIONAL. 1. You who hear - this sets the context for His directives. These are not just some broad stroked ideas for a utopian society. Christ is speaking these to His disciples. Those who have been empowered by His love to follow His lead. 2. Love your enemies - embrace opposition Do good to those how hate you 3. Be excellent towards those who disregard you. 4. Bless those who curse you - Do that which will be of corporate benefit, even to those who speak agonist you. 5. Pray for those who abuse you - intercede for mercy upon those who the wrath of God is emanate. 6. Offer the other also “turn the other cheek” - make space for re- contextualization. 7. Give your coat and your shirt - make sure your fellows are amply prepared for the season they are about to go into. 8. Give...and do not demand back - do not engage in revolving generosity. 9. Do and be from a place of desire rather than a place of distain. http://www.hvcla.com/messages/listen-on-the-go?id=1498506 Mon, 03 Sep 2018 00:00:00 -1000 00:49:50 Bishop Taylor Week Four: Truth Zechariah 8:14-17  ""For thus says the Lord of hosts: “As I purposed to bring disaster to you when your fathers provoked me to wrath, and I did not relent, says the Lord of hosts, so again have I purposed in these days to bring good to Jerusalem and to the house of Judah; fear not. These are the things that you shall do: Speak the truth to one another; render in your gates judgments that are true and make for peace; do not devise evil in your hearts against one another, and love no false oath, for all these things I hate, declares the Lord.” Truth is factuality, firmness, reality, reliability. 1. The Artful Liar- is one who sees nothing wrong in affirming the contrary of what is true when it is expedient for his aims. 2. The Real Liar- lives in self-deception by simply erases from his mind everything in his life that is difficult or disagreeable, and a man's that all those who would engage with him accept the deception as reality. 3. The remorseful liar does not wish to deceive others; neither do they wish to cheat themselves, but end up doing so because they are enclosed within themselves always twisting their gaze back upon themselves. *Speak the truth to one another *Render in your gates judgments that are true and make for peace *Do not devise evil in your hearts against one another, and love no false oath http://www.hvcla.com/messages/listen-on-the-go?id=1488637 Mon, 27 Aug 2018 00:00:00 -1000 00:54:00 Bishop Taylor Galatians 6;1-5 (ESV) "Brothers,[a] if anyone is caught in any transgression, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness. Keep watch on yourself, lest you too be tempted.  Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.  For if anyone thinks he is something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself.  But let each one test his own work, and then his reason to boast will be in himself alone and not in his neighbor.  For each will have to bear his own load." Responsibility is the result of engagement, however we will only be responsible to the degree we value the engagement or those with which we are engaged. Thusly is it is quite possible for someone to have responsibilities and not be responsible. Therefore if one would desire to become responsible they must first attribute value to those they are responsible to and that which they are responsible for. How do we develop value? By understanding purpose and determining worth. 1. "Brothers,[a] if anyone is caught in any transgression, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness" - we must be responsible for those we cover. 2. "Keep watch on yourself, lest you too be tempted." - we must be responsible for ourselves and our actions 3. "Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ". - we must be responsible for that which does not belong to us. 4. "For if anyone thinks he is something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself." - we must be responsible for our perspective. 5. "But let each one test his own work, and then his reason to boast will be in himself alone and not in his neighbor." - we must be responsible for self evaluation. 6. "For each will have to bear his own load." - we must be responsible for our own destiny http://www.hvcla.com/messages/listen-on-the-go?id=1482101 Wed, 22 Aug 2018 00:00:00 -1000 01:00:03 Bishop Taylor 2 Timothy 2:11-13 (ESV). 11 The saying is trustworthy, for: If we have died with him, we will also live with him; 12 if we endure, we will also reign with him; if we deny him, he also will deny us; 13 if we are faithless, he remains faithful—for he cannot deny himself. When we speak of faithfulness, two major concepts come to mind; Fidelity - loyalty and support based on a covenant or decision. (Right Doing) Consistency - the achievement of a level of performance that does not vary greatly in quality over time. (Right Doing) Verses 11 and 12 are pretty straight forward; Our relationship with Christ is based on our submission to Him Our endurance produces elevation. If we deny Christ He will respect our wishes. (Peter vs Judas) However when Paul gets to verse 13 he presents a shape dichotomy between our human propensity and Christ divine sovereignty. Paul’s presentation of our human propensity to be faithless leads us the enigma of this text; what causes us to be unfaithful? I. Pride: When you think of yourself more highly than you ought to, you render yourself incapable of being faithful to others because your too busy being faithful to yourself. / Consider the value of God and those around you. II. Passions: When our fleshly desires are stronger than our spirit man, we will be unable to remain faithful to Christ or others. We must deny ourselves while simultaneously engaging in spiritual disciplines. III. Procrastination - the root cause of procrastination is fear. We defeat procrastination through swift acts of boldness towards our destiny. Above all this, fine the ability to be faithful by submitting to the life our Christ for He is faithful! http://www.hvcla.com/messages/listen-on-the-go?id=1471102 Tue, 14 Aug 2018 00:00:00 -1000 00:56:38 Bishop Taylor Sermon Notes Scripture Ephesians 5:15 Wise- Wisdom is an attitude and not an outpouring of emotion.

Your Faith will lead you to a fight (Ephesians 6:12) Fighting Fair means you are prepared Remove your earrings , apply vaseline, put on some shoes. Beauty of community Joining with others will give you a better chance at winning We need unity in our community 2. Faith will lead you to Freedom (Romans 6:15-18) Lay down those snares Snares : sin , lies , people , things not of God If you can't measure yourself you can’t measure your opponent. Measuring exposes us but also allows others to hold us accountable to the Word of God. 3. Faith will help you Finish (2 Corinthians 8:9-11) In order to finish you have to die to yourself http://www.hvcla.com/messages/listen-on-the-go?id=1450788 Tue, 31 Jul 2018 00:00:00 -1000 00:54:58 Elder Brian Thurman http://www.hvcla.com/messages/listen-on-the-go?id=1437748 Sun, 22 Jul 2018 00:00:00 -1000 00:41:43 Minister Deidre Wright Moving Forward Even In The Midst of Limitations Minister Deidre Wright breaks down the power of moving forward even when it seems and feels like it’s not possible. 🔑Key Scripture: Mark 5:25–30 🔓Face your reality 🔓Faith it until you make it 🔓Run with the promise www.hvcla.com http://www.hvcla.com/messages/listen-on-the-go?id=1426873 Sun, 15 Jul 2018 00:00:00 -1000 00:29:53 Pastor Michael Johnson Moving Forward: Dealing With Undefined Relationships Key Scripture: Matthew 26:44-56 The issues of moving forward -mismanagement of life detour signs -dealing with the threat of failure and defeat -getting reacquainted with your why -precision & focus is a by product of a clearly defined focus Associated -People who have information regarding you but the lack the intimacy and value of you. -When you put them in proper context it will free you from their bondage -Wicked agenda will self destruct. You don't need to kill them, let God deal with how they did you dirty. Relationals -Don't let them insert themselves in spaces that only God can and should fill -You must be careful in allowing them to fill a role they were never designed to play Randoms -It's easy for them to forget what you did for them because they dont care nor do they know who you are to them -Random people have random emotions.

You cannot come in real contact with Jesus and not change Just know when you get that real connection change is going to happen. Pastor Kenna breaks down Luke 19:1-10 and encourages us to really follow Christ example and have an open heart to and for others. http://www.hvcla.com/messages/listen-on-the-go?id=1212465 Sun, 08 Apr 2018 00:00:00 -1000 00:22:51 Bishop James Ray Taylor The first series in JESUSXCULTURE is JESUSXTHOMAS. Often Thomas is referenced as doubting Thomas but consider that he was just an honest man looking for direction. He dealt with something that many of us have to face when what you see does not line up with what you hear or are being told it can be challenging. You may not believe “this” but you can believe God.

Jesus ability to endure is proof of the power of his love and blood. http://www.hvcla.com/messages/listen-on-the-go?id=1188084 Fri, 30 Mar 2018 00:00:00 -1000 00:07:19 Minister Kenna Pettaway "Dear Woman, here is your son!” and “Here is your mother!” Jesus was so unselfish he still made a way through suffering to make provision for others. He was able to pass on that responsibility. Be careful who you pass responsibilities to because everyone isn’t capable of being a leader. http://www.hvcla.com/messages/listen-on-the-go?id=1188082 Fri, 30 Mar 2018 00:00:00 -1000 00:08:55 Shanta Adkins “Father, into Your hands I commit my spirit” (Luke 23:46) A cry of confidence and celebration. God wants a life of worship not a night of worship. http://www.hvcla.com/messages/listen-on-the-go?id=1188081 Fri, 30 Mar 2018 00:00:00 -1000 00:11:43 Breann Broussard “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing” (Luke 23:34). They just didn’t know! Don’t let unforgiveness stop you! http://www.hvcla.com/messages/listen-on-the-go?id=1188078 Fri, 30 Mar 2018 00:00:00 -1000 00:07:30 Alexander James “I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in paradise" (Luke 23:43). Two perspectives looking at the same God. Pain has a way of jacking up your perspective BUT you have to learn how to see God through the pain. Do not let pain change how you see God. The only difference between pain and paint is whether or not you put the cross at the end of it. God I need to see you more than I need to cover my pain. When it hurts who is God? When it doesn’t work who is God? http://www.hvcla.com/messages/listen-on-the-go?id=1188080 Fri, 30 Mar 2018 00:00:00 -1000 00:14:59 Hulima Hudson Matthew 27:46 tells us that about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, “Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?” which means, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” Jesus did it so we wouldn’t have to. What wasn’t physically good for Jesus in that moment was eternally good for us. http://www.hvcla.com/messages/listen-on-the-go?id=1188076 Fri, 30 Mar 2018 00:00:00 -1000 00:09:02 Minister DeMarcus Johnson From our members about the last installment of Breaking Bad... Minister DeMarcus what I got from this sermon on Breaking Bad False Starts is that I need to not be afraid to tell nor ask God for anything because he already knows, Also that the things that I need to be broken from the things that are holding me back from really walking in Jesus that when I say I’m going to give it up to really lay that thing down and let it die not picking it back up but to really stand firm in letting them go. It will be a process that I’m not really sure I’m ready for but hey here it goes. You don’t need the forgiveness of others but from God its time break bad habits that are slowing us down from becoming what we need to be for Christ and having the necessary conversations to being to break those habits. You have to be vulnerable and love like Jesus and stop being so defensive. http://www.hvcla.com/messages/listen-on-the-go?id=1166561 Sun, 25 Mar 2018 00:00:00 -1000 01:10:45 Minister DeMarcus Title: Breaking Bad Religion Habits Text Scripture: Philippians 2:13 ESV Point 1.

Therefore, in order to truly forgive we must be relieved from pain and released from hurt.Forgiveness is a process and Bishop James Ray Taylor gives us biblical guidance in this installment of the Forgiveness Clinic 2.0. Hurt and pain are native propensities of all humanity. We should not think it is strange when we hurt or are hurt by others and have to deal with the pain that ensues.Discover how to release the hurt and the pain. Enjoyed the sermon? Need prayer?

Key scripture1 Timothy 6:6-10https://www.bible.com/bible/59/1TI.6.6-10"But godliness with contentment is great gain, for we brought nothing into the world, and we cannot take anything out of the world. But if we have food and clothing, with these we will be content. But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation, into a snare, into many senseless and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils. It is through this craving that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pangs."Key points-Godliness devout practices and appropriate beliefs about God.-Devout practices are developed through Divine principles.-Appropriate beliefs are founded on accurate doctrine. -Contentment - adequacy especially that results in satisfaction with one's Life because of who it is situated inThe greatest gain you can and will ever receive is Jesus Christ.We invite you to hear the word and feel the heart behind it at Heavenly Vision Church243 West 85th Street Los Angeles CA 90003.
