AUDIO PODCAST - Live Church Orlando

As a Believer, there may be times where we struggle with making the best or right decision. Thankfully, while He was here on earth, Jesus promised a helper in the form of the Holy Spirit, who can give us wisdom. But in order to tap into the wisdom of the Holy Spirit, we must ask for it and listen when He speaks. In this practical message, "Listen Up," Pastor Tye challenges us not to simply walk in the ways of the culture, but instead walk in the wisdom of the Holy Spirit; as you listen to His voice.

At the end of each year, some people decide to reflect on their year, evaluate what went right or wrong and resolve to improve in some areas. Those principles are a great start to a new year, but what's even more important is asking the Lord for guidance in how to flow into this new year. We have to let go of the notion that things are better when left in our hands, instead allow Him to help us set up our year in the right direction. As Pastor Tye's shares in his message, "Set It Up," where you set something is eventually where it will go. As you set up your 2018, with the help of the Holy Spirit, He'll give you the plan to achieve the goals He has set before you in this new year.

There is a difference between someone telling you to "go up" verses being asked to "come up." Where one sounds like a command of possible uncertainty of what to expect upon arrival, the other sounds more like an invitation to experience somewhere that someone has already explored; and are simply waiting for you to join them. In this prophetic message "The Come Up, Pastor Tye shares the word the Lord gave him for LiVe Church in 2018, of God's promise to elevate the lives of His people in all areas. It's time to desire to go higher and experience the fullness of life the Lord wants His children to experience.

It's so easy when we make a mistake or commit a sin, to remain in that place of shame or bondage. However, Jesus didn't die on the cross for our sins, to still be angry at us or expect us to wallow in our pity or shame forever. In fact, He's given us the Holy Spirit to help us to move forward, to no longer trip up over the same sin and to receive His grace. During a very hope-filled message, on the last Wednesday of Bible Study for the year, Pastor Tye shares in "That Was Then",why God's grace is a gift freely given to us, and the very reason we should stop looking back at our mistakes.

All of us come into this world as a baby, which is one of the most critical and fragile stages of life. In fact, the "baby stages" of anything- be it a child, business or even a relationship- are the most vulnerable times. It is during the "baby stages" that our enemy (Satan) likes to attack, so he can harm us when we are the most open. His evil plan is to try and control us during any young phase, so he can plant his seeds into our lives or circumstance. In this poignant message "Baby Stages", given during LiVe's Baby Dedication Service, Pastor Tye shares why one of our best defenses against the enemy is simply growing up! When we turn over the areas of our lives that need growth, Jesus can protect us by maturing us in no time.

Never Be The Same - Part 6 "Undercover"

While most people believe there is "a god" and that there is something "beyond themselves," many do not like to acknowledge the actual existence of Jesus as God. Because of Jesus' sacrifice on the cross for our sins; to acknowledge Him, means you have to acknowledge that we were sick in sin and needed a Savior. God in His goodness sent His Son, Jesus... but sadly many run from the very One that can heal them inside and out. In the powerful message, "The Cure," Pastor Tye reveals why we shouldn't keep trying to love Jesus, and yet walk around in brokenness, when we have total and complete access to the cure we need in Him.

While most people can look at God and believe that He is good, it's a lot harder to imagine God seeing us as good. Jesus however, makes that possible! Jesus, is the mediator between us and God the Father, allowing God to see us already in our perfected state. That is why even in the midst of the messy parts of our life, God can still bless us, because He sees us through the lens of Jesus' eyes. In the fourth offering of the sermon, "Never The Same," Pastor Tye shares why truly knowing that God is a good God, will ultimately lead you to expect good things to happen in your life, as you understand the goodness He sees in you too.

So many Christians make their focus to live right, simply a way for them to avoid going to hell. When the fear of hell is more of your focus, then the true goodness of God, you are simply trying to endure life... instead of really enjoying it. God's desire for us however, is not to live life trying to dodge sin, but to enjoy our walk with Him. In part 3 of the sermon, "Never The Same," Pastor Tye emphasizes God's love for us and why He desires to bless, and not to simply punish us for what we believe we've done wrong.

Have you ever had a true encounter with God? If so, you know beyond the shadow of a doubt, because something about you has to change. When you have a true relationship with the Lord, and have been touched by His presence, something within you shifts. As your relationship with the Lord continues to grow, you will encounter Him on a more regular basis, as He renews different areas of your life. In part two of the message, "Never The Same," Pastor Tye digs deeper as he challenges us all to long for a real encounter with the Lord, that will allow us to see Him for the loving Father. He is.

Never Be The Same

During the time where many celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday, it is expected for people to be more thankful to the Lord and reflect on all that He has done. However, the Lord blesses us daily, and owes us nothing as Jesus' sacrifice for our sins, is the ultimate blessing. When you know who the Lord is for yourself, you should automatically want to praise and thank Him! As the psalmist David said, His praise should continually be in our mouths. In his message, "Give Thanks," Pastor Tye shares why a continual spirit of thanksgiving, should be a be a part of our regular communication and relationship, with God.

Most of us will not encounter a tragic life or death situation in our lives, but for many who have and survived it, their stories will be sprinkled with hope. Hope can literally be what brings you or your situation back to life, when it may feels like you have no reason to hold on. In part three of "I See It," Pastor Tye shares the story of the three Hebrew boys (Shadrach, Meshach and Obednego) and how their hope in Jesus ultimately saved them from the flames of death.

Having faith is based on the Word of God, it's easier to believe in because you have a word to stand on. However, having hope can be more difficult, as you simply have to know and believe there has to be more then what you are seeing in your situation. Once you have established your hope, then you have to move towards it, even if you can't see it yet. In the second part of the series, "I See It," Pastor Tye explains why seeing things from God's perspective, in the areas of struggle in your life, make it so much easier to have hope.
