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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
Truth in Reality, not Ideology
Pastor Ron teaches that the truth revealed in the Word is not just an ideology, but it’s a reality we can stand on in our lives that will get us through anything we might encounter. Scripture: John 14:6-7, John 13:33-35, John 1:1-4, John 2:18-19, John 6:15-27
Defiling the Temple
In our carnal thinking, God can be dethroned. The Holy Spirit indwells us, but we still need to grow up. We ignore what the Holy Spirit tells us to get rid of. We can stay carnally minded where we don’t receive the things of the Spirit. Take out the trash or it builds up! Pastor Ricley warns us that we can override what the Holy Ghost says and stay in infant in…
