Good News for Everyone

Jesus is the Christmas gift who God sent to the earth 2,000 years ago. Through him, we receive the gift of eternal life, sonship, forgiveness of sins, and the gift of righteousness. These are things that we cannot earn, but are freely given to us, because of Jesus and his sacrifice on Calvary. If you have to work to receive something, it is no longer a gift. It is an obligation. But God gives us a...

Human beings are naturally resistant to change both in natural things and spiritual things. That is why many Christians and even entire denominations are stuck in a rut of a past move of God and are not moving forward with the new things that God is doing today. Acts 10 is the story of two men who needed change in their lives. One of them, Cornelius, did not receive the change he needed because no...

Today, God is pouring out His Spirit on those that are thirsty. There are many problems in the world that man can’t solve, but the Spirit of God has all the answers and the power to bring lasting change in the hearts of mankind. In this message, God is encouraging us to be a light in this dark world and to let the Holy Spirit have His way in our lives. Our Father has promised to pour out His...

  Throughout Church history, outpourings of the Holy Spirit have changed and empowered believers to demonstrate that Jesus is alive. It all began when God poured out His Holy Spirit on the Day of Pentecost. In this message, Tom and Susan explore the relationship of the baptism of the Holy Spirit to God’s plan to reach the world with the Good News of Jesus Christ. The story of the book o...

  When heaven comes down, things change! There are many problems in the world today that will not change without a visitation of the Holy Spirit. We need heaven to come down and God to set things right. In this video, Tom and Susan look at Jesus’ instructions to His disciples to wait for the promise of the Holy Spirit in Acts 1. We also look at some more recent outpourings of the Spirit...

When the prophet Isaiah was grieved by the enemies facing his nation, he cried out to God, “‭Oh‭ that thou wouldest rend‭‭ the heavens‭, that thou wouldest come down‭‭, that the mountains‭ might flow down‭‭ at thy presence‭…”(Isaiah 64:1, AV) Isaiah knew that there are some things that can only change by the manifestation of God’s presence. He had experienced that presence himsel...

If He can do that, certainly nothing is impossible with H...

Tom preaching at the Holy Life Tabernacle Pastors Conference, Brookings, South Dakota. All of us need mercy … including preachers. Mercy is required because we all have missed God, failed, fallen, and broken His commandments. When we recognize our failure, we can easily become discouraged. We may think: I’ll never be good enough. I’ll never measure up. We look at our failures and wonde...

‭ For the gospel was preached to us as well as to them. But the word preached did not benefit them, because it was not mixed with faith in those who heard it.‭ (Hebrews 4:1b-2, MEV) God has given us wonderful benefits of the Gospel—forgiveness, righteousness, healing, peace, and victory. But in order for it to be activated in our life, we must believe it. God has done His part. Now we must do ours...

Click to watch. Is Jesus the only way to God? We often hear that there are many paths to God. But are there? What does the Bible say? Jesus said, ‭“I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.‭” (John 14:6, MEV) Jesus is unique of all spiritual leaders, because he was God in the flesh, He died for our sins, and He ever lives to be our Savior. No matter...

Click to view And‭ with great‭ power‭ gave‭‭ the apostles‭ witness‭ of the resurrection‭ of the Lord‭ Jesus‭: and‭ great‭ grace‭ was‭‭ upon‭ them‭ all‭.‭ (Acts 4:33, AV) Just as the early church gave a powerful witness through signs, wonders, and miracles, we continue to see miracles today. God raised Jesus from the dead and He has given His believers in Jesus the power of the resurrection to demo...

This video is a follow-up to an article I recently wrote on “The Precious Blood of Christ.”  This video goes deeper into the question of why the blood of Christ is precious. The blood of Jesus is precious to me because of my experience with the Lord. When I surrendered to Him in 1977, He spoke these words, “Precious is the blood of the Lamb, which was shed for you.” The blo...

Minneopa State Park, Mankato, Minnesota. And when they came‭‭ to Marah‭, they could‭‭ not drink‭‭ of the waters‭ of Marah‭, for they [were] bitter‭: therefore the name‭ of it was called‭‭ Marah‭.‭ ‭And the people‭ murmured‭‭ against Moses‭, saying‭‭, What shall we drink‭‭?‭ (Exodus 15:23-24, AV) Just as Israel faced the bitter waters of Marah, we also face bitter waters in the circumstances of lif...

Do you want to be healed? It may seem like a strange question, but this is what Jesus asked the man at the pool of Bethesda. Do you really want to be healed, or do you want to keep sitting here waiting for a dream that you know will never be fulfilled. There are times that we just need to take some action upon the Word of God. We need to hear what Jesus is saying to us an respond. This is faith! E...

For‭ Christ‭ also‭ suffered‭‭ once‭ for‭ sins‭, the just‭ for‭ the unjust‭, that‭ He might bring‭‭ us‭ to God‭, being put to death‭‭‭ in the flesh‭ but‭ made alive‭‭ by the Spirit‭,‭ (1Peter 3:18, NKJV) Jesus died to bring us to God!  That is the message of the cross. Through His death, burial and resurrection, we have access to the Father, not only in eternity, but now! Think of it! Because of Je...
