The Distribution Of Gifts To The Church Sep 25, 2022

Show notes

In this message, Pastor Bogdan continues the sermon series entitled: What Is The Church? God has graciously distributed gifts to gifted people in the church so that the church can be unified. There are gifts that are given to everyone and then there are specific offices to which certain people are called. Everyone has a gift but not everyone holds an office. Everyone in the church is called to be pastoral but not everyone in the church is called or qualified to be a pastor.
The purpose of the gifts given to the people in the church is so that believers would be prepared and equipped to do the work of the Lord, in order that we would obtain maturity in the Lord. We want to do all that we can to "fan into flame," the gifts that God has given the body of Christ.

Gifted Christians In The Church Sep 18, 2022

Show notes

In this message, pastor Bogdan continues the sermon series entitled: What Is The Church? The means by which unity will be preserved in the church is when people in the church will use the various gifts given to them by God. Within the body of believers, God has bestowed gifts. The exercise of these gifts plays a vital role in the maintenance of unity within the church. We don’t have to create unity, we are called to maintain it, not mess it up.
When believers who are in the church either neglect or misuse the gifts God has given to them, therein begins the disruption of unity in the church. Because each gift that has been graciously given by our Lord to us, has been specifically curated for us, there should be no bitterness or resentment amongst the members of the church for not getting a certain type of gift. The Lord knows best what is best for us. Let us all be eager and zealous to use our gift for the good of the body of Christ.

The Responsibilities Of Christians In The Church Sep 11, 2022

Show notes

In this message, Pastor Bogdan continues the sermon series entitled: What Is The Church? God’s design for the church is to bring all the members of the body to the unity of faith and to the full stature of Christ with the result that they will be a stable and growing body in living union with Christ the head. We see from the text that pride provokes disunity whereas humility promotes unity. The Bible is teaching us that our job as Christians is not to create peace, because that is the job of the Holy Spirit but rather our job is to maintain the peace that has already been created with all eagerness. Christian lives should demonstrate humility, gentleness, and patience, which are accomplished by forbearing one another in love and making every effort to preserve the unity that comes from the Holy Spirit. A healthy church that not only grows but also grows up is a church where unity is eagerly maintained by all members.

The Body Of Christ Sep 04, 2022

Show notes

In this message, Pastor Bogdan continues the sermon series entitled: What Is The Church? Much of what will be shared in this message on The Body Of Christ and The Lord’s Supper was largely inspired by an amazing Puritan writer named Thomas Watson, specifically as he wrote about it in his short but very impactful book entitled The Lord's Supper.
In this message, we will learn about the five particulars as they relate to The Lord’s Supper, namely the Author, the time, the manner, the guests, and the benefits of the Lord's Supper. In order to equip His disciples for such a time and to encourage, stabilize, and prepare them for what is to come, that very night when He was betrayed, He gave them His body and blood in the Sacrament. He gives them Himself. The amazing thing about Jesus is that even when He was dying, He did not stop loving.

Five Vital Signs In A Healthy Church Aug 28, 2022

Show notes

In this message, Pastor Bogdan begins a brand new sermon series entitled: What Is The Church. For the next several weeks, we are going to explore what a healthy church looks like and how can we design and develop a church that produces healthy, mature disciples. There must come a point in your life where you realize that there is nothing more important for you personally to do here on earth than to be in partnership with God building His church.
Your membership in a church will far outlast your career, hobby, and even family. We believe that a Christian without a church is like an organ without a body, it won’t survive. Healthy churches and healthy people don't just merely grow. They grow up. At Forward Church, we want to help people find hope in Jesus. More specifically, we want to help YOU find hope in Jesus. We want to help grow people in the church rather than people growing the church.

The Two Symbols Of Salvation: The Lord's Supper Aug 21, 2022

Show notes

In the Christian faith, there are two main symbols of salvation. They are Baptism and The Lord's Supper. The Lord's Supper is how you have communion with God's family. In this message, Pastor Kipko talks about the second symbol of salvation, which is The Lord's Supper.
Jesus never asked his disciples to remember his birth. But he did instruct them to remember his death and resurrection. He gave the church two visible symbols, called ordinances, as reminders of His death. These two ordinances are Baptism and the Lord’s Supper. The Lord’s Supper is an object lesson that represents a great spiritual truth for believers. The whole purpose of the Lord’s Supper is for us to remember what Jesus did on the cross.
Some people drink to forget. We as Christians drink to remember. When you take the Lord’s Supper, you’re preaching a sermon. There’s a forward look and a backward look. We look forward to the fact that Jesus is coming back and He says do this until He comes back. And we look back at the cross. Jesus didn’t stay dead. He’s coming back again.

The Two Symbols Of Salvation: Baptism Aug 15, 2022

Show notes

In the Christian faith, there are two main symbols of salvation. They are Baptism and The Lord's Supper. Baptism is how you identify with God's family. In this message, Pastor Kipko talks about the first symbol of salvation, which is baptism.
Here at Forward Church, we baptize the way they did in the Bible—putting people all the way under the water. It is a symbol of burial and resurrection. Just like Jesus Christ died and was buried in the ground for three days and then rose again. In the Bible, there was no such thing as a person claiming to be a Christian and not being baptized. It was automatic. You were baptized as soon as you gave your life to Christ. It was a picture of the new life you had been given by Jesus.
Baptism doesn’t make you a believer—it shows that you already believe. Baptism does not “save” you, only your faith in Christ does that. Baptism is a picture of putting off the old way of living and putting on a new way of life in Jesus. Off with the old, on with the new. Buried with Christ in baptism, and raised to walk a brand-new life.

The Good Shepherd Aug 07, 2022

One of the big questions in the Bible is trying to answer is how to discern the difference between the real and the counterfeit. The Truth and the Lie. The true prophet and the false prophet. The Voice of God and the Voice of the Devil.
In this standalone sermon, we will explore what it looks like to discern between the voice of God and other voices. We will learn how to follow the voice of God to Salvation and Green Pastures as He, Jesus, is our Good Shepherd.

FAQ: Did Jesus Really Rise From The Dead Like The Bible Says? Jul 31, 2022

Show notes

There is more evidence for the resurrection of Jesus than there is evidence for any other event in human history. All of Christianity hinges on this one event. Christianity is the religion of the resurrection. Jesus really did rise from the dead and one of the biggest pieces of evidence of that is the countless number of changed lives!
In this final message in the FAQ Series, Pastor Kipko unpacks the reality of the resurrection and encourages us with the fact that if Jesus really did come back from the dead, and He did, then all will be ok and more importantly, you will be ok!

FAQ: Do All Religions Really Lead To God? Jul 24, 2022

Show notes

Have you ever gone in the wrong direction, like for a really long time, while you are driving and then you had to turn around? Have you ever made a mistake, a wrong turn, or a wrong decision? This matters because if you keep walking around in the dark, you won’t know where you are going, and if you don’t know where you are going, how will you get to where you want to be?
You must have a vision for your life, or else, with no vision, it’s like driving in the fog, at night, with no headlights on. You don’t know where you are going and it can be rather dangerous. We come to church so that our loves and longings are indexed toward God and His kingdom. When talking about different religions, we believe that within Christianity—robust, biblical, Christ-Centered, Christ-exalting Christianity—there are rich resources and remarkable power made available to us to deal with and solve the problem most people face including having an understanding of what is their main purpose on this Earth, to find the meaning of life and to find a solution to the brokenness and sinfulness that is in this world and in our life.
In this message, Pastor Kipko focuses on how Jesus is our life and our light that not only gives us a new life but that Jesus also makes us better at life.
