Preach the Word!

Repentance and faith are 2 sides of the same coin. Just like love and serve. Not something God has to give but something He has given as a wonderful gift. We can change!

God doesn't judge based on partiality or favoritism but He does make a distinction. Everyone who fear Him and does what is right is acceptable to Him. The mystery hidden through the ages has now been revealed!

Some things are inherently unclean, others are only for a particular purpose at a particular time, for a particular people. Not everything you think is evil is evil for everyone. There are conscience issues. There can even be a danger that a thing, even a good thing, is lifted to a height that becomes evil. The Lord is doing a new thing in Acts 10, that the apostles never saw coming...

The foundation of Christianity is not "do this, don't do this" but life, life, eternal life!

Habakkuk is instructive to us about what it truly means to walk by faith. Not by circumstances, not by feeling, but trusting the Lord's word, whether easy or difficult. Though their is no food in the fridge, yet I will rejoice in the Lord.

Judgment and Justice, God is the God of both. Tremble and Rejoice. We all want judgment on others, but are we willing to be consistent and desire judgment when we're the ones who will be judged? It's only possible because of one event...

God speaks into our present day circumstances. And those in Christ are called to have a radically different view of this world's circumstances, than those who don't know God. Are your political convictions more from social media than God's word? If so, you'll respond the wrong way to the present situation. We need His wisdom to tell us things that we would never believe unless He t...

First some thoughts on upcoming election, to help Christians see their responsibility and to comprehend God's perspective, which comforts whether the results are good or evil. Those in Christ know who is the Rightful and Future Ruler. Our perspective must be radically different from the worlds. At about 20 minutes, a sermon from Acts 9, the conversion of Paul, the chief of sinners.

The Resurrection of Jesus, one of the greatest historical events of all time. Yet in remembering it, and considering the future resurrection, the best way to be stirred up is to follow Him into His death, that you might experience the resurrection life and power of Jesus, not merely as an historical fact, but present reality.

Jesus's defeated the true enemy by being defeated. He dealt with sin and now, Satan has no accusation against us.

We all want to grow closer in our relationship with God as Christians. What are some hinderances to the Lord working mightily in your life? What are some helps to Him pouring out His Spirit upon you? 1 Thessalonians 4, Ephesians 4, and John 14 have answers!

Is the work of the Spirit a one and done experience that happens at conversion or is there a greater filling after having believed?

They don't believe in Jesus and accuse Stephen of being against the temple and its associated practices. He shows them clearly from Scripture that Jesus is the One whom the prophets spoke of, and that it is they who speak against the temple! "He who slaughters and ox is like he who kills a man." This helps understand what they misunderstood and how we easily misunderstand today, and...

The story serves in seed form as a paradigm of the rest of the NT. Some preview of church offices, the importance of complement rather than competition in the body of Christ!

God doesn't invest in things without any desire or expectation of return. He wants his crops to bear fruit, His people to be filled with the fruit of the Spirit!

Jesus is worthy of everything, even suffering...

Is God harsh? Does the story of Ananias and Sapphira make you think so? Or is it because of God's mercy that you think He is harsh?

Do you desire this blessing?

Of what use our miracles? They are wonderful! But also unable to guarantee faith.

An interesting story reveals to us much about what God is doing in our present day and what we can expect Him to do through prayer!
