Our Mediator has redeemed our lives from the pit. Jesus paid the price in His own blood to buy us out of the slavery of sin and death for eternity AND out of destruction and a cursed life today. Whatever we are going through, Jesus has been there. He has experienced our suffering as our Lamb of God, and He will restore all that we have lost. In “He Redeems My Life from the Pit,” the story of Job g...

Why should we believe that Jesus is the Healer of our bodies? Because Jesus bore and took away our sicknesses as well as our sins at the cross. What is the means by which God delivers healing to us? It is through the body of Jesus Christ. When He became the Lamb of God, it was not only so that His blood could wash away our sins, but also so that His body would be scourged and broken for our healin...

The first benefit listed in Psalm 103 is forgiveness of sins. If we can receive that first benefit and truly believe that we are justified through the blood of Jesus - just as if we’d never sinned - and if we can know deep in our hearts that we have been fully reconciled to God, then we will have no hesitation in taking advantage of the access we have to the riches of His grace and all the other b...

The focus of this teaching is the love commitment Jesus has made to us by binding Himself to our humanity as our Mediator, our Intercessor, the God-Man. It was His choice to be a forever servant because of our preciousness to Him. The more we know of the cost of the cross, the more grateful we will be and the more we are going to want for Him to get what He paid for! The greater our understanding...

Session 3 of the Revival series by Tricia Gunn, “Our Good, Good Father” Description: No series on revival would be complete without a message on our Good, Good Father, who welcomes the prodigal home with no rebuke, no demand for an apology, without treating him like a second class son, and without condemnation!

Session 2 of the Revival series by Tricia Gunn, “Boldness to Love the Truth” Description: Truth is a Person, and His name is Jesus. If truth is a Person, then Truth is personal. If Truth is a Person, and if that Person is love, then we never have to doubt that Truth loves us. Under the New Covenant of grace, our sin doesn’t find us, Jesus found our sin and washed it away in His blood. That’s the G...

Session 1 of the Revival series by Tricia Gunn. Description: Today, right now, no matter how you feel about it, you are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. You may feel that you are in no position to pray for miracles or revival or anything because you haven’t behaved well or you lack “faith.” But The only faith required is the faith to believe that the cross worked. And that’s the point of...

Does it seem that He four days late in your life? Is He four decades late? It doesn’t matter - one day is as a thousand years to Him, and a thousand years as one day! Has God promised you something? Is...

During the wilderness journey of the Israelites, we see three times that they ran out of water, but God provided thorough Jesus, who was depicted in an Old Testament shadow. He is the Rock from whom blessings flows. Jesus is our Giver of the River of life: the Giver of the Holy Spirit. He said, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink. He who believes in Me, as the Scripture said, ‘From...
