The Jesus Christ Experience

In this episode we get into the practical process of addressing spiritual/demonic attacks in the Christian's life. Since the spirit realm operates much like our legal system, we are able to systematically address and remove ground that we have given the enemy in our lives. Using our authority as believers and the name of Jesus Christ we can remove the enemy's influence and work in our li...

We continued our teaching from last week. Joelle and I share some personal stories about our interactions with demonic influences. Then we address the believer's authority: who has it, who doesn't, and what gives the enemy a foothold?

In this episode I start introducing the battlefront of the spirit realm. I address the basic ways in which demons are allowed to afflict and torment people. I also speak about what the Bible has to say about demonization vs. oppression/possession and explain how Christians filled with the life and presence of God are able to be afflicted by demons. 

After the pastoral installation portion of the service, we partook of communion together. I would encourage you to get the elements for yourself and take communion with us. 

This episode wraps up the final trifecta of the battle front of the world. In 1 John 2:15-16 we see that the World's third rout of attack is through the pride of life also known as self-ambition. Is ambition wrong? Aren't we made to be prosperous and fruitful? What characterizes the world's type of ambition. What are then the key ways in which we can overcome the world and it's...

In this episode the battle front of the World is introduced. It is important to understand our enemy's tactics so that we can come against his work in our lives and spheres of influence. The world's forms of attacks can be summed up in three ways: the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes and the pride of life. This week we talk about the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes. 

This is the final episode concerning the battle front of the Flesh/Carnal Nature. We start this episode in Romans 7 and move on into Romans 8 where the dividing line of the Carnal nature and the Spirit Man is clearly drawn. What is the purpose of the Law? What is the law of the Spirit? How can we live in the new nature that God has placed inside of every believer? And how can we live by the nature...

In this episode, we unpack what the scriptures refer to as the carnal nature and the new man. Salvation is more than just going to heaven, it is an ongoing work of the Holy Spirit. In this salvation process we have been given the very nature of God. A divine nature and life source that we can live from. We as Christians have the ability and privilege to live from the new man, which is made "i...

Here we explore what the carnal nature is and how it affects the Christian. The carnal nature or the "flesh" desires to live independent of the Gospel. Typically this happens one of two ways: 1) By earning salvation through being "good enough" for God, rather than receiving righteousness through the work of Christ or 2) By choosing to find satisfaction and fulfillment outside o...

We as Christians face our enemy on 3 battlefronts. In this episode, we begin to unpack the battleground of the Flesh or Carnal Nature. Every plant and animal that God created during Creation was given the ability to reproduce after its own kind. God then created us after His own kind. However, when man ate of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, a new seed was deposited into man......one of...

We as Christians are in a war, one that has been going on since before the beginning of time. In light of recent events, it is easy to start seeing people as our enemies. Yet we know from Eph. 6:12 that we do not wrestle or war against flesh and blood but...... powers of this present age. People are not our enemy, the disciples and early Believers understood this. The devil and his cohort is our t...

In the final verses of John 1 we are introduced to Phillip and Nathanial. Jesus calls these 2 to follow Him. What does following truly mean? What does Jesus' reference to Jacob's ladder have to do with who He is? Can we live a Christian life where we can also call others to 'come and see'? These are all addressed in this episode.

The first words Jesus speaks in John is a probing question, "What are you seeking?" This is a probing question that extends to every person who wants to follow Jesus. What are we seeking from Him?  Then he invites them along with all peoples into His home, His heart and ultimately into His family if they will but Come and See."

At different seasons in out lives, we will face times of unfulfilled expectations. Just as John the Baptist wrestled with wondering if Christ was that promised Messiah as he sat in a prison cell, circumstances can leave us wondering if we have missed it, or even if God has let us down in some way. Listen more to learn the ways to navigate seasons of unfulfilled expectations. 

In this sermon, we explored the 3 differing identities of John the Baptist. The three identities came from the world, John himself, and finally Jesus Christ. We too have these 3 sources of our identity impressed upon each of us. What is the difference between them? Which one is true? Which one do we truly live from? All these answers are coved, plus the opportunity to hear from God what your true...

Today we explored John 1:14-18 where it speaks of the Word becoming flesh and dwelling among us. What doe that mean? How do we receive the "fullness of God"? What does it look like to receive "Grace upon Grace"? All of these points are talked about in this episode.

This week we explored the John 1:1-13. We delved into what John was trying to communicate through his introduction and the use of the Greek word Logos. John continues his lofty introduction of his best friend and creator of life, Jesus.
