Outfitting the Saints

I would like to kindle in you a spark today. A spark that stirs up a fire within you to know your Lord better and to walk worthy of your calling! In the first church, we see that the Lord is making an assessment of what they are doing regarding their walk with Him.

Our attention, as Christians has been drawn away to what is happening around us. We are manipulated by the media in all forms, with the express purpose keeping our eyes on the circumstances instead of on Jesus. Satan is good at what he does to make this happen. If believers are on the circumstances surrounding them and not on Christ, how will the world hear the truth.

Pentecost is the observance of the feast of First Fruits. It was a time that God’s people would give to God the first fruits of the harvest, honoring God as the giver of the harvest. It was also the culmination of Passover where God purchased the first born with His blood. Now the first fruits of the sacrifice was seen in the giving of His Spirit to seal the hearts of those who believe. At the day...

Prayer is a mighty tool in the hand of the believer. It is not something that we “do”, but something that we use to communicate with our God through the Lord Jesus Christ. Prayer is of equal importance with spending time in God’s Word. In fact, the two go hand in hand. So, as we look at this passage this morning, be sure you listen to the context and content of what it is telling us.

It is not hard for anyone to see that we are having tribulation in America. For many years (around 37 years) God has impressed upon my heart that the United States would go through tribulation. I am not talking about the Great Tribulation. If you have paid any attention to the news over the past 37 years you will know that we have been in a steady decline from God’s word and have plunged into outr...

I keep hearing the term, “the new normal”, and it bothers me especially as a believer in Jesus Christ, God Almighty. There have been so many changes in “normal” over my life, why is this any different. But the real “normal” for believers is never different. There are three verses that are often misquoted by pastor, teachers and believers in general that give us normal or contentment in the middle...

I have sensed a despair among God's people today. Life has changed for a while and instead of looking to God, we are wallowing in the circumstances. When the world is going to hell at a rapid rate, where are we to find contentment? There are many passages of Scripture that give us the same results regarding this issue. It is the only way to be glad right now, in spite of evil, the storms of life,...

Preaching serves as one way to get the word out to you, asking God through His Spirit, to draw you to Himself. The truth of 2 Timothy 3:16,17 says “All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; so that the man (or woman) of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work. Because of this, we are going to look at Psalm 51...

Every generation is plagued with problems that keep us from living our lives how God intended as His children. We have our eyes on the world, instead of our eyes on Jesus. We believe the propaganda of the devil that says there are too many problems to be able to be effective as a Christian, so don’t bother. As a child of God, is there ever enough grace to live in this world? His grace is sufficien...

People are afraid of what is happening, even though we have brought this on ourselves. Governments are corrupt, ours included. We are making and worshiping our own gods. We outright reject Almighty God. No wonder we are experiencing these things. Why would God intervene in these things if we are just looking for a quick fix and then go about doing what we always do, without Him. It is because of t...

In the history of the church, today begins a well followed tradition. This is Palm Sunday and it begins what we know as Passion Week, where Jesus enters Jerusalem at the appointed time to be the sacrifice for sin. Often this time has become so scripted that we lose the truth buried in the pages of scripture! This morning, we want to expand our look at the Triumphal Entry into Jerusalem. We want to...

When a shepherd would tend to the flock of sheep, there were many times as he led them from one pasture to another, that they would get scrapes and bruises going through the rocks and brambles. The shepherd would take out his oil and anoint them to heal their wounds. As Believers we encounter many scrapes and bruises along our journey in life. We need many times the oil of the Shepherd to heal tho...
