Standing In This Hour
Text: Mark 14:27-31 We, as believers, talk a good game. And, in that, we believe we are talking truth, and we are talking the desires of our hearts. But, how often, and quickly, do we discover the real truth in that confession? What really happens when the rubber meets the road? Sometimes, we’re not as prepared as we think we are. Why? The church is asleep! Wake up church! The hour is at hand!
God’s Way Of Healing
Text: Matthew 8:16-17; 1 Peter 2:24 God created man without sickness. Through one man, sickness and evil came. But, God paid the price of man breaking the law. We are fighting a real, live deceiver, but Jesus came to fix that problem. To find out what our benefits are, we need to read the Bible. God sees us as saved and healed. We have a tendency to receive that salvation by faith. Then, we stop there. We need to receive…
Healing In The Atonement
Text: Psalm 103:1-4; Genesis 1:26-28, 31 In every battle, we must be able to recognize the enemy. Who’s on our side and who isn’t? When it comes to healing, we need to find the cause, the consequence (curse), the cure. We need a fresh revelation of the atonement. We need to find out if it’s God’s will for all the ailments we see. The atonement is what God used to heal us from the curse. He had to do something…
Will The Real Saints Please Stand Up
Text: Romans 6:1-4 The enemy is not playing. He’s going after adults and children. What is God calling us to do? He’s calling us to be Holy! We are set apart to be used by Him. Jesus did not come to make bad men good. He came to make dead men live! We need to know why God gave us the gift of salvation. Jesus took away the penalty and the power of sin! But, we still have the presence…
Have You Received The Gift
Please excuse the video volume. It doesn’t start until around 14:54. Please keep listening! Texts: Luke 24:46-49; Acts 19:1-2 Many of us are on our Christian walk, but we don’t have everything we need. We haven’t received our free gift! Every believer should expect the gift of the Holy Spirit. God wants us to have the totality of His gifts in Christ. We receive those gifts by faith. Everything that Jesus did, we’re supposed to do. But, we can only…
Great Responsibility
Text: Matthew 28:16-20; Luke 4:18-19 We’ve become a weak and broken people in this day and age. When did Christianity become so mundane and lose its weight in this world? When did it take a back seat in our lives? What if God asked you to do something that you feel would destroy your life? Would you obey? What is more important. . .to go after our own fleshly desires or to be obedient to the Lord? With Christianity comes…
No Room For Compromise
Texts: Luke 13:22-24; Luke 9:62; 2 Kings 5:1-27 God has called us out to be the Lord’s! We need to strive (fight) to stay on the narrow road. We contend with the ungodly every day. Sometimes it feels like we take three steps forward and one step back. But, we need to keep telling ourselves, we are victorious! We need to fight our way through! Our mind must be stayed on Christ. Keep our eyes on the prize and hold…
Which Servant Are You
Text: Luke 12:35-46 It’s easier for us to get up early and go to a job we get paid for than to get up early and pray or go to church. Why is that? Are we more motivated by money than for God? Where is our comittment? Where is our relationship with God? Is your lamp burning or burning out? Jesus is coming back. This is real! Are you ready? Are you exited? Every tear we cry, everything we’ve done…
One Body
Text: Romans 12:4-5 These past two years have been an “off season” for the church. Churches were closed and people got used to staying home. Some continued to go after God and grow spiritually, but some did not. Now the chruch is open. It’s time to come back home! The church exists for a double purpose. . .to gather and to send out (anonomous quote). God has not called us to be independant of one another. We are One Body!…
Don’t Lose Your Calling
Texts: 1 John 2:15-17; 1 Peter 5: 8-9 God is calling us to continue in this fight. We must always be alert because the devil is on the prowl. We can’t be so engrossed with worldly things that we lose our calling. The world is changing little by little and we’re acepting it, little by little Before you know it, we’re accepting the wrong things and not even being convicted anymore. Be alert! Don’t lose your calling!
