Professions of Faith

Filled with personal stories from military service, ministry calling, and real-life illustrations, this message emphasizes that true Christianity is a possession of faith, not just a profession. Pastor Gary delivers a clear gospel invitation and reminds us that only through Christ can we have eternal life. #FaithAnswers #WhoDoYouSayIAm #ProfessionsOfFaith #PastorGaryRoy #PetersConfession #Mark8 #TrueFaith #BornAgain #ColonialOaksBaptistChurch #JesusIsTheChrist #SurrenderToChrist #Gospel #ChristianLiving #OneNationUnderGod See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.

Can You Hear Me

Join Pastor Gary Roy on Faith Answers for a heartfelt Mother’s Day message titled “Can You Hear Me Now?” Drawing from the miracle in Mark 7, Pastor Gary unpacks how Jesus healed a deaf man with a speech impediment — putting His fingers in the man’s ears, touching his tongue, and declaring “Ephphatha — Be opened!” This powerful account reminds us that true hearing and speaking begin with the Holy Spirit. Before salvation we are spiritually deaf to God’s Word, but once the Holy Spirit opens our ears, the Bible comes alive, faith grows, and we gain a new voice to proclaim the Gospel plainly. Pastor Gary shares how this spiritual healing leads to bold testimony, encourages deeper study of Scripture, and celebrates the vital role of godly mothers. Whether you’re a longtime believer hungry for more of God’s Word or someone seeking answers about faith, this episode will encourage you to listen for God’s voice and share His truth. Happy Mother’s Day to all moms!
