Sermons on Transformation (Page 2)
The Excellence of Christ
Luke wrote his Gospel about the Perfect Man in the midst of the Jewish worldview of “We’re better than everyone else” and the Greek worldview which was self-centered and about man’s wisdom. Both had the same information about God, but having the information is not the same as having the revelation of Him. It’s only through the…
Restoring the Joy
The hardest thing we experience as Christians is moving from strength to strength – ours to His. We start out like David, thinking we’re doing it all right in our own power, and then God takes us through circumstances that show us who we really are & that it’s impossible to do it in our own power. It’s in failure that we learn to rest in His ability to carry us, to…
Conform To The House
It doesn’t matter where we start – it matters what happens on the journey. God takes us through the wilderness to get rid of our flesh. We can respond like the children of Israel and rebel or we can surrender to His will for our life. The Bride is born in the Spirit realm.
Perfecting Holiness
Our foundation for believing comes not from our intellect but from our sense of relationship with the Father. If we receive Him and put our confidence in Him, that relationship will grow continually. The Spirit in us starts as a baby and as we allow the fire of God to consume those things in us that do us harm and keep us from His perfect will, holiness is perfected in…
By My Spirit (Zech 4) (Part 5)
God has a plan for each of us and it has nothing to do with our doing better. Jesus’ hands laid the foundation and His hands will finish the work.
City Without Walls (Zech Part 2)
Because Jesus dwells in us, and because His true church is New Jerusalem, we are a city without walls. The church is all over the world, He is all over the world in His people who bring absolute truth and government into their circles of influence.
Glory of the Latter House (Haggai)
God had a better idea than the stone temple. He moved inside His people to change our thinking. He created lively stones who would hold themselves accountable to the Word of God. We will be a visible temple for all the world to see – living in the full stature of Christ Jesus.
The Will To Do His Will
There are two spiritual kingdoms – the Kingdom of God and the kingdom of Satan. The desire to do His will is the ingrained evidence of God’s indwelling presence. The new man would want to do what pleases God. The old man cannot because it’s not under His dominion. If I want to do His will, He will lead me because I’m not in conflict with Him.
Endurance
When we go to the altar and give our life to Christ, that’s just the beginning. We have to come to the place where we see the gift we’ve been given as priceless and worth any cost to hold on to. He who endures to the end shall be saved.
Vision
King Saul’s primary weakness was that he didn’t identify with any kingdom other than his own. He lacked both passion and vision. Fighting the enemy was just a job for him and he didn’t identify with the people he was fighting the battle for. The Church must get God’s vision, and be filled with a passion to defend ourselves and those around us from the attacks of the…
