Grace at LAST

102-Today's topic is likely to include some amazing truths you may have never heard before. God's grace and goodness is even better than we thought! The finished work of Christ is good news and there is no bad news to it. No impending judgment, fear, disaster or destruction we need to be tormented with. Corinne and Connie introduce some things to think about that has been revealed to them...

101-Today Corinne continues her conversation with Connie Miller. The discussion centers around the end times prophecy and fulfillment of the things we read in the book of Revelation. We talk about what some of the prophecies meant when John wrote them, the audience Revelation was written to, and how to fit it into context. You probably are going to hear things you may have never heard before but n...

100-Today we get to know our sister in Christ, Connie Miller. Connie has so much to share with us and we begin by getting to know Connie’s background and how she came to be a writer, speaker and teacher in the body of Christ. As we discuss the grace and goodness of God found in the gospel, we are encouraged, at rest, joyful, and at peace when we understand the undeniable and perfect love God has f...

99-Why do we have a Bible? What was God’s intention when He had men write it down for the world to know? A lot of work, discussions, debates, books, movies, study, research and history has occurred to convey a message to mankind, but why? Why all the work and toil? Do we need to become a scholar in theology? Must we understand Greek and Hebrew, original words, meanings and usage? Is it even possib...

98-It is critical to understand context if we are going to understand what God is saying in the scriptures. If we do not understand context, we are going to be led astray. No way around it, it will happen. We will become confused about the scriptures because we don’t understand how to apply them to our lives and we will become frustrated. But how do we know? How do we know if the scriptures are fo...

97-Recording from Costa Rica we talk about the new. The new you and the new life Christ provided for you and me through the cross and resurrection. I believe too many people are living with an old covenant mindset and they could be living in the new. Even people who understand new covenant truths can live with an old covenant mindset. The new is better. We can renew our minds to understand the tru...

96-The Book of Hebrews is by far one of the greatest books ever written. This book tells us about the new covenant brought in with the blood of Jesus when He forgave sin, forever.  Understanding this book and how God brought an end to the old system to replace it with something new, is so important to understand. Many truths that are life changing are found in the words of this book. However, just...

94-Sometimes we think things are for us today but are acutally in the past. Today we look at traditions we may be in bondage to that we can rid of now. Exciting and liberating, let's grow in grace together.

93-When we consider the Hebrews and the persecution they endured for believing in the new covenant of grace, some of us can relate. Some have been separated, rejected, dismissed and judged when the new covenant of grace is realized. It can hurt, we miss those we spent time with, and being a part of division is no fun for anyone. And yet it happens. We don’t want it to happen, but it does. What do...

92-God has poured out every bit of forgiveness He is going to give when He accepted Christ’s payment for the worlds sin. And yet it is a common teaching and belief we need to ask for more forgiveness when we sin. The book of Hebrews is all about the new and better covenant that is based on Christ’s one time sacrifice that removed sin. Now we can receive eternal life and complete and total forgiven...

It is easy to misunderstand seed, time and harvest. We can believe that the seeds we sow will determine the harvest God brings into our lives. Often, because we are fuzzy where the old covenant ends and the new covenant begins, we can think God is dealing with blessings in the new covenant like He did in the old. He isn’t. We can retire from trying to earn God’s favor and blessings. We have them i...

Many messages we receive about the Bible are about what God is going to do. Many believe better days on earth are coming, so they wait. Others believe life on earth will always be painful so enduring until they get to heaven is best they can do, so they wait. But what about right now? What about the fulfilled prophecy we already possess to live in, not waiting for something better? What if our per...

My friend Mara went to heaven this week. It rocked our world, and our lives are still reeling from the pain. Today we talk about heaven and what it might be like for those who have gone before us. I think many are waiting for earth to be what heaven is like. We think Jesus will rescue us from this crazy world and set up a perfect world. Many people are living with their head in the clouds looking...

Am I in a battle? Do I need to learn how to fight the devil so I can win?  What do I need to understand so I can have the healthy relationships I hear and read about? God knows we will have questions when it comes to relationships, and He has our answers. God begins with telling us the great love He has for us by giving us His Son and then He teaches us how to extend that love to others.  He knows...

God continues to show us His love in Christ by teaching on relationships. Simultaneously, God is telling us how much He loves us and how to have strong earthly relationships too. Nothing is more important than understanding God’s love for His children and today we gain deeper understanding into that. God understands relationships can be difficult and He has not left us alone. He has provided all w...

Sometimes we are told walking with God is a list of "do’s" and “do not’s”. Some teach our true condition will be seen by our fruit. If we don’t understand what Paul is saying here, we can become a rule follower instead of being Spirit led. Ephesians 5 is full of so many truths that when applied to our lives, everything gets better, almost immediately. God tells us these things because He created u...

Paul’s writings in Ephesians 5 can appear to be works. It has a lot of “do’s” and “don’ts” included in the writings. If we don’t have a grasp on what Paul is saying, we can become extremely judgmental. We can gauge spirituality by behavior and even condemn people and label them as not walking with the Lord because of their lifestyle. Lifestyle is very important, and Paul addresses that subject. Af...

Relationships can be difficult and bring a dark cloud over our lives if they are unhealthy. We can desire good healthy relationships, and yet find ourselves in difficult and challenging ones instead. Guilt and shame can settle in, and we might not know where to turn for answers. Paul has a lot to say about that in this portion of his letter to the Ephesians. Today, we may find ourselves in the sam...

Ephesians 4 is a pivotal point in Paul’s letter. If taken out of context, we can be led astray and deceived. We may think God expects things from us that is not true at all. Understanding the church and what God intended when He made us new creatures in Christ, will drastically change everything. Far too long we have been told it is about works and sacrifice for God when the truth is, it is Jesus’...

Understanding the oneness we have with God and Jesus through the Holy Spirit, changes everything. We need to keep being reminded of how much God loves us and what we have in Christ. Paul prayed earnestly for revelation through the Spirit for those that are in Christ. He said what Christ has done for us is beyond what our minds can even fathom. All of this comes from being grounded and rooted in th...

Paul has more insight and mystery to reveal to those who are in Christ. He wants them to know about a mystery that had been hidden up until that point, but he was about to make it known. This mystery that is being revealed is beyond comprehension. The vastness of the wealth we have been given in Christ is too big to grasp. When we understand scripture the way God intended when He inspired man to w...

Those who were far from God, have been brought near. All people are invited to believe in the promises of God and partake of the blessings. Jesus has taken us out of the kingdom of darkness and placed us into the kingdom of light, but what does that actually mean in reality? Paul wanted them and us to understand. He is reaching out to people who were looking for answers. His message was a message...

Ephesians tells us that God made dead people alive. How does He do that and what is our part? God mentions disobedience and some scary consequences for those who don’t do what He says. Or is that the really the definition of disobedience and how can I know so I am sure I understand truth? Many people are of the opinion that we should keep grace in check and not get out of balance, but Paul didn’t...

We have been blessed with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places and yet sometimes it seems as if our reality is far from that. Paul had an inheritance he wants us to know about so God had him write a letter to the Ephesians and preserve it so it will also enrich our lives today. As the wealthiest people on the planet, living with a poverty mindset is unacceptable if we are going to enjoy...

Paul tells us in Ephesians we have been blessed with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places. When we walk in the reality of that truth, we experience the blessings we have been left. Too many of God’s people are living in poverty when they are the wealthiest people on planet earth.  Understanding the riches that belong to those in Christ is overwhelming and can override any darkness or de...
