Bearing One Another’s Burdens
It’s very easy to be merciful to someone we see as a “sinner”, while demanding perfection from our brothers & sisters. Jesus uses words like “Restore” and “Bear” when telling us how to deal with one another. Scripture: Gal 6:1-5
According to the Faith of God’s Elect
Paul left Titus in Crete with specific instructions for establishing the church there. Those same instructions remain applicable today. Scripture: Titus 1:1-7
Throne – High and Lifted Up
This nation is descending deeper into chaos and we’re beginning to realize that we’re not going to change the turmoil that’s in the world. The things about the world, things about our lives have to become second to Kingdom things. Yield to His voice. Say and do as He says. The throne is secure and we are blessed by His keeping and protecting power. Scripture: …
Spiritual Warfare
Just like Elijah/Elisha, the Holy Spirit will take us through Gilgal, Bethel, Jericho and the Jordan as we grow in our walk with the Lord. Every step is necessary to make us into soldiers in God’s army! Scripture: Romans 6:11-18, Eph 6:1-18
Faith Greater Than Emotions
God makes promises in His Word or directly to us that our emotional man can easily reject if the promise doesn’t come to pass quickly enough to satisfy our carnal thinking. Our faith needs to be strong enough to hold to the promise even when the enemy tells us over and over that God won’t do what He said and our carnal thoughts tell us to fix the issue in they physical…
Faith Can’t Let Go
If we couldn’t lose our salvation, why won’t Satan leave us alone? It’s his plan to stop us before we’re finished. Christianity is a difficult choice, full of hardship and trials, but God will lead us through safely. Scripture: 2 Cor 11:12-12:5
Living Righteousness
Spreading the Gospel isn’t about us telling people. It’s about living a life of peace and righteousness in front of others so they seek what we have. In order to do that, we have to get our appetites under God’s dominion and learn to say “no”. We can’t do that in our own will, but through His Spirit living in us. Scripture: Isa 42:1-9, John 1:10-13
All Things to All Men
The Dispensation of the Gospel has been committed to us according to the Word. What better way to reveal Jesus to the world than to live like Him? It can’t be done in confrontation or self-righteousness, but as the Spirit leads in empathy, walking in ways that avoid offense and that draw men to the love He manifests to us and through us. Scripture: 1 Cor 11:1-19, 1…
A Word to Build (Hag 2)
It had been 16 years from the end of the exile to Haggai. People returned with a desire to rebuild Jerusalem and the temple. They had the government and the priesthood, but didn’t have a prophet. They couldn’t build without a word from God and neither can we. We’re nothing without the Spirit of God indwelling us, leading us. Scripture: Acts 6:11-7:2, Haggai 2:1-7
The 3rd Beginning
In the beginning, “Let there be light” (Genesis). “In the beginning was the Word…” (John). The 3rd beginning was the Book of Acts, men doing things as a continuation of the work Jesus did, moving in His Spirit and authority to teach, heal, prophesy, cast out demons and manifest His everlasting life & love to the world. We’re in training – learning to crucify our…
