Spirituality— our pursuit of God— is the pursuit of peace. To truly know God, who is the Prince of Peace, is to experience genuine peace. Yet, as believers who profess to know God, do we really know Him as our peace? Do we truly understand what it means for the Lord to be our peace? How can we genuinely know Him so that His peace becomes our daily lived experience?

In this message titled “The Lord Our Peace”, Pastor Jeffrey Walter reveals how and why God (Jehovah Shalom) is our peace. He establishes that true (lasting) peace can only be found in knowing the Lord, offering valuable insight into how we can genuinely come to know Him as our peace. Emphasising the need for regeneration (the transformation of our evil hearts), he urges us to seek a deeper experience of truly knowing God so that we can fully experience His peace in this life.

Beloved, you are anxious about life because you do not really know the Lord. If you choose to walk the path of transformation and seek Him sincerely, you will surely find lasting peace, even in the midst of life’s fiercest storms. For the Lord is your peace!

God is actively at work in every person—not demanding perfection to merit His love, but seeking to transform us through a journey of obedience. Indeed, His love is constant and the foundation from which obedience becomes possible. However, man’s transformation is a complicated journey and the endgame may seem far-fetched. What should be the considerations and attitude of the one who navigates this spiritual journey to the promised land when faced with continuous apparent setbacks?

In this message, “God Hasn’t Finished With You; He has Barely Started”, Pastor Jeffrey Walter affirms that God’s love is constant and His commandments are to help and train us. He highlights how God disposes a person’s heart to righteousness through freewill. He explains the nature of the journey: a gradual process orchestrated and sustained by the Lord as man cooperates with Him. In conclusion, he urges us to stay committed to the journey of transformation by consistently trying and depending on God for strength, despite the challenges we may face, not considering our failures as lack of progress.

Beloved, God is committed to the transformation of your heart. He’s doing it with you; not against you. The journey may be long, but it’s worth it. He will bring you to the promised land!

Key Scripture: Exodus 23:29-30 (KJV)

29 I will not drive them out from before thee in one year; lest the land become desolate, and the beast of the field multiply against thee. 30 By little and little I will drive them out from before thee, until thou be increased, and inherit the land.

The decline in the quality of true Christian doctrine has deeply influenced how many in the church today understand spirituality, salvation, the Scriptures, and the faith required to receive answers from God in prayer. While the average Christian may seem to be well-versed in the idea of having faith, does their current understanding and practice of it truly lead to receiving answers from the Lord, or does it simply leave them holding on to false hope?

In this message, “False Hope,” Pastor Jeffrey Walter reveals why the average Christian’s current understanding of faith is not only misguided and ineffective, but is, in fact, an abomination before Him. He explains what it really means to ask in Jesus’ name and how true faith rightly positions one to receive from God. He sheds light on why many believers tend to reject the true (often unsavory) understanding of faith and prayer for the appealing yet misleading false doctrines that offer only false hope. He concludes by cautioning against the dangers of holding on to false hope and the teachings that sustain it, urging believers to embrace sound doctrine—one that teaches that true and living faith is built through the subduing of one’s carnal desires (flesh) to God, through obedience.

This message will inspire you to reconsider your understanding of your Christian doctrines and set you on the right path to build genuine and pragmatic faith that is rooted solely in the true God and submission to His Will.
