Science cannot solve the ultimate mystery of nature. And that is because, in the last analysis, we ourselves are a part of the mystery that we are trying to solve. — Max Planck - Nobel Prize in Physics winner, Originator of Quantum Theory I like to understand things from a scientific perspective, even spiritual things. I think we can apply the rules of science to matters of the spirit, we just hav...

You are not evolving spiritually, you are complete in Christ. In this message, we discuss the gifts of knowledge, wisdom and prophecy from the perspective of the finished work of Jesus and your completeness in Him. https://www.clintbyars.com/blog/2019/6/24/spiritual-evolution

God is building His church in the earth today. His church is also known as the Body of Christ. Every single Jesus follower has an assignment within God’s church or Christ’s body, including you. Some roles are formal ministry while other roles may not even be recognized by the traditional church. I want you to know that you are important, you belong and God has an assignment for you that brings Him...

WOULD YOU LIKE A FORMULA TO DEVELOP GREAT FAITH? THE KIND OF FAITH SEES THE MANIFESTATION OF EVERYTHING YOU ASK FOR? The truth is, there is no formula, but there are some necessary ingredients to great faith. #1 key ingredient to developing great faith is to live a life where your heart doesn’t condemn you. #2 is to keep Christ’s commandments. #3 is to ACT on that commandment to love people. Befor...

God’s promises that are available in Christ are various and plentiful, touching on just about every aspect of life. He makes promises for salvation, provision, guidance, peace, health, and much more. All believers believe that God can heal. All Jesus followers agree that Jesus healed people. But we disagree on whether God always wants everyone fully healed. Have you prayed for multiple and seen so...

Prayer changes things. Prayer changes you and your world around you, but it doesn’t change God. Prayer doesn’t cause God to respond and give you what you want or need, he’s already done that. God doesn’t have anything else to give to you. The only thing God has left to give you is wisdom, revelation and guidance on how to live within everything he’s already given you. In fact, he gave you his spir...

You have two sets of eyes, the ones in your head and the ones in your heart. The eyes in your head help you see the outer world while the eyes of your heart help you see God. However, the eyes of your heart can also look at your outer world. The obvious goal is to keep the eyes of your heart focused on God. This is walking by faith, this is how you look not at the world, this is how you set your h...

Is God evil? Does God do evil? I’m sure you would answer “no” to both questions. Now let me ask you this question… Is God in control? Your answer may change. One more question… Is God controlling everything? Your answer should be the same answer to “is God in control?” God being in “control” means he’s controlling everything. I want you to think through what you believe about God’s sovereignty and...

Toxic religion burns you out, it causes you to always feel incomplete like you’ll never be enough. The truth is you are complete in Christ, you are fully accepted in Christ already!! Jesus beautifully articulates God’s heart toward you in these passages. Jesus assures you that he’s not seeking to condemn you, he’s offering rest and guidance. Toxic religion says that God is allowing your life to be...

Lack is at the root of addiction. Feeling like something is missing and trying to fill that gap with toxic substances or behaviors is the engine for addiction. We see that same cycle in religion. Religion is the king of causing you to feel like something is missing. Under religion, you’re never good enough and you can never do enough to keep God happy. Most people never say it this clearly but the...

You would never say self-righteous things like, “I was really good today, now God owes me a blessing.” Or, “I didn’t sin this week so now I’m more righteous.” You would never say those things because you know your righteousness isn’t a result of your behavior, it’s a gift from God through faith in the finished work of Christ. But you might say, “I wonder what God is doing” when you have a flat tir...

Jesus used nature to teach us how his realm of sovereignty works. He taught us that God’s Kingdom is within and it works like a seed or yeast. God’s Kingdom is within us because His spirit is within us, God’s essence of life within us, and the presence holds within it everything that God is in seed form. God is sovereign, he is all powerful but he’s currently exercising that authority in the earth...

God is actively speaking to us, leading us and revealing his will and character to us as he further establishes his Kingdom in the earth. Ultimately he is bringing all things together in Heaven and Earth together in Christ. Praise be to His glorious name forevermore! https://www.clintbyars.com/blog/2019/3/18/gods-indwelling-kingdom-affects-the-world-through-you

Living in God’s Kingdom starts with repentance, or changing your mind. Jesus said the kingdom of God is at hand, repent and believe the good news that the kingdom is at hand. He went on to say several things about the kingdom. https://www.clintbyars.com/blog/2019/3/11/revelation-how-to-receive-and-apply-consistent-wisdom-from-god

https://www.clintbyars.com/blog/2019/3/4/kingdom-of-god-is-increasing In this message pay attention to the progression of scripture passages. The point of aligning in this order is to show one simple truth, that Jesus brought the kingdom with him and it’s been increasing ever since.

Do you know how to enjoy being one flesh with your spouse? No, not that, although that's fun too. I’m talking about knowing each other's dreams and passions. Not as interesting? You may change your mind. The Apostle Paul refers to our union with our spouse a mystery. While there are plenty of jokes that could follow, what he’s talking about is the nature of the spiritual union in marriage. He desc...

Marriage is a reflection of Christ’s relationship with his body. The husband is to love his wife as she responds with respect. This is the recipe for a thriving and fruitful marriage. We really could just stop there but those of us who are married know it’s not that easy. When we look at the lengths to which Jesus went to make his bride his cherished eternal partner, we don’t see him demanding a r...

We have almost outgrown our current facility. We’ll be switching to 2 Sunday morning gatherings soon but we can’t squeeze much more out of our current facility. We are actively looking at property and buildings so we’re ready once the finances are in place. Everything we’ve done until now has been debt free, we prefer to stay debt free. We feel the wisest step is to create a building fund and inve...

As I live my dreams, accomplish goals and fulfill my call; how can I love and serve others? https://www.clintbyars.com/blog/2019/1/28/splagchnizomai

The pain and suffering we see in this world. Jesus says this, “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world, you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” John 16:33 This is right after talking to his disciples about his departure. He says they'll weep, mourn and grieve, but in just a little while their grief will turn to joy. https://www.clint...
