We live in a day where the gospel is if not utterly despised; it is altered, dilute, polluted in such a way that anyone can claim and salvation, without a litmus test or a standard to compare it to. But the scriptures teach us that if we have been buried with him in his death, we would live by him and for him through his life. May God's word, in the power of His Spirit; rescue the lost, bring back the prodigal, and revive the downtrodden.

It is true that works played no part in our salvation, our redemption, our reconciliation to God through Jesus Christ our Lord; but works is the one the most important parts of our lives, post salvation. Divine works, flowing from a spirit led, grateful and a humble heart is one of the evidences and identifiers of those who know, imitate and follow the Lord. As far as personal works are concerned; others cannot and God will not do them for you.

143 times in the N.T. the word "crowd/s" is used in relation to Jesus, his travelings and teachings. But there is a distinct difference in being there and being His; for we are in fact to be "People of the Christ, not the Crowd". A royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people. People who know the Lord, and have a firm, reliant, exclusive and intimate trust in Him. People who know not only his name, but his voice...and another ones voice they will not follow.

Very few things in the life of the believer is more difficult than waiting on God. Waiting on him singularly, patiently, confidently and in a state of rest. I believe this message will be one of not only encouragement, but one of insight into the difficulty and glory of waiting on the Lord.

Many Christ followers mistake knowing the Lord as the same thing as "following the Lord". One deals primarily with revelation, the other is primarily surrender and obedience. This message will show us not only the command to follow God's word and will, but to fully trust in his leading of our individual and family life. I believe this message has the potential to expand our view of God's capability, and willingness to guide us in all things both great and small and his faithfulness all along the way.

Much of this familiar story and the characters in it exercise genuine, personal, vulnerable and unwavering trust in God to be who his word says he is and the power to work sovereignly and perfectly in the lives of those who are surrendered to His will. It is my prayer that this message will encourage those who have been living fearful or having taken back the reigns of their life to once again give God the helm for the direction and pace of their life; and to remind those who are walking faithfully and consistently there to continue in the faith, because God is actively working His Will and good pleasure with divine power for those who trust Him

An often quoted, but not completely understood verse is (Rom 12:2) "And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, THAT YOU MAY PROVE what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God." They emphasize the necessity for a renewed mind, but not the why. And that is so that we might recognize, submit to, prioritize and maintain a life that lives as much as possible, in the perfect will of God. Nowhere in the word of God does it tell you to search for his will in your individual life, it will find you. He will reveal it in a variety of ways, looking to see if you will take the time to stop and prioritize your burning bush, take off your shoes in reverence and submit to his revealed will. I have never met a person who regretted investing their lives in the will of God than spending it upon themselves.

The story of the 10 lepers is very common to the average believer; but what you may not have noticed is the three words tucked in between their crying out to the Lord for mercy, his command to go show themselves to the priests and the miracle healing of the removal of their leprosy; and it was the three words "as they went". As they went, the answer was on the way. As they went, the answer arrived. As they went, they were rewarded. What God requires from us is simple; one more step. Your miracle may be found along the way.

There is much confusion in the world today, to what is true and what is false....which leads to gross error when it comes to what it takes for one to be saved, or even know their need to be saved. The scripture declares that the god of this world hath blinded the eyes of them that believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel should shine unto them.

We who are believers are no strangers to storms in our lives. Storms that delay us, reroute us, hinder us and even disqualify us. But if we are intentional, we can learn from each storm and come to a clearer picture of our weaknesses and God's strength. You may even have a personal encounter with Christ that transcends the moment and the journey.

There is no escaping these reports, these threats; but there is scriptural, fail safe way to deal with them....until it or they dissipate and are left behind. And when we overcome these reports, it creates additional, current memories that display God's keeping, protecting and restoring power. As believers when we feel powerless in the moment they come upon us, just remember that a moment is all it takes to stand. The key to life is not avoiding bad news, but having the clarity, courage and character to survive it; knowing full well that one day it will ALL be swallowed up in the universal victory of Christ our Lord.

Many believers live with relatively no expectation of God whatsoever; and if they do, this expectation may be diluted, polluted, carnal and or borrowed - resulting in little to no activity of the spirit, or the supernatural in their lives. But God invites us to believe him and call upon his name, To live in a divine, personal, ever growing expectation of Him to be who he is in the scriptures in our everyday lives.

My recent episode of debilitating pack pain reminded me of those around us who have suffered and are suffering great pain, injustice and long seasons of immeasurable pain. I am trusting that this will be a word of comfort and encouragement for them tomorrow; reminding them that God has not forgotten or forsook them, and he is not only the one who cures us, but the one who has kept us through all we have faced

As followers of Jesus Christ, we are at a time in our nation's history when we are told to leave our faith out of business, politics, our own values, and more. We must be bold in our faith, and we must refuse to be ashamed of Jesus or His Words! It is my prayer that we fight the good fight and represent Jesus well with all boldness. Join us as we learn how to prepare, practice and persevere in boldness for our Lord and Savior.

I want to focus on Charlie Kirk's tenacious love for the truth, and willingness to proclaim it at any opportunity, (financing within himself) the opposition, hatred, rejection and persecution of those who despise the truth and the God who is the author of it. Here is the thought; Charlie lived by and died proclaiming and defending the truth. Does knowing this convict or validate, your current approach to living in the darkness, error and lies of this world.

Like a bird whose feathers have been ripped out, there are many believers today who struggle with the fact that their choices have led to shame, bondage and a deep remorse that robs their life of joy. The devil has not only decieved them with their present sin, but the implied permanence of it. Christ is the end of sin for those born from above, and they have access, eternal access to grace for their sin and power to walk up and out of all that is associated with it

Much of what is viewed as exemplary service unto the Lord was known as 'REASONABLE SERVICE" in biblical times. There is a great difference between a man who spends his life upon himself and the one who wastes his life upon the Lord.

Many people are confused about the difference between being sealed with the spirit and being immersed in the same spirit; In having the spirit inside of you and having that same spirit upon you. The earnest of the spirit is for us, the baptism of the spirit is for them. Come to Christ in full surrender, with an expectant heart that in the same way you were baptized in water by man; you will be immersed in the Holy Spirit by Christ himself. What privilege, what grace, what power, what joy!

In the gospels, Jesus taught us to seek FIRST the kingdom of God and HIS righteousness.....First! Before our desires, plans, goals, pleasures, opportunities, inclinations, leanings, giftings, etc.. Why do we know what first means in every other context, but get confused when it comes to this? Then of course the promise to those who live that way flows like a steady river through the days of their life that all that they need for life shall be added unto them. It is that simple, but for so many it is so, so hard.
