What does it mean to rest in The Lord?

So many times we deal with what we think is spiritual battle, when really it is just spiritual struggle. When we engage this way, we are beat-down and wore out because we become the focus of the battle.

If you have received the free gift of God's salvation, you also receive a new identity. Your old is passed away and the new is brought in!

All too often believers continue to walk in their old identity when God has forgiven you and given you a whole new identity!

Did you ever stop and think that God does not need us to work for His kingdom? He loves us so much, He invites us to work alongside of Him for His glory and His kingdom!

SO many believers fail to live life trusting in The Lord

If we are not loving God correctly, we cannot love people correctly!

Probably the most difficult concept for us to really understand is the triune existence of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. I try to help us grasp this concept. Scriptures to aide in understanding: Col 1:19, John 14:9, Acts 3:15, John 1:1-3,14, Philippians 3:1-6, John 10:38, 17:11,21, 14:11

Jesus says to pick up our cross and follow Him. Paul reminds us that to share in the inheritance of Christ, we must also share in the struggles of Christ.

Opening your heart up and allowing God's love to flow through you over another person speaks value into that person

Love people, it is in loving people that we are able to tell them that they are valuable and have worth. Everyday we pass by people with little or o self-esteem and they desperately need someone to tell them they count. You are that person.

In Jesus parable about leaving the 99 to go after the one, did not make the 99 less important or the one more important. It demonstrates how important each person is.

Everybody, including you, has value in the eyes of The Lord.  Since He created us, He gets to decide our worth, not the world, not someone else, and not you!

How about those abrasive people in your life, loving them can be quit the challange!

Christianity is all about relationships.  Sometimes those relationships cause people to behave as your enemy.  When that happens it cuts deep.  How we respond is the most important thing at that point!

It is important that scripture is used and taught in context.  People's eternity depend on right understanding of scripture.

With the LGBTQ lifestyle being force-fed to us these days, it is important to remember who we are and where they are.

Good people go to Heaven and bad people go to Hell is a lie.  The defining line between Heaven and Hell is salvation alone!

We often hear the old adage "When life hands you lemons, make lemonade"  I say, when life hands you lemons, turn to God! Allow His joy to burst forth in you, let a song be upon your lips!

Your time in the garden alone with The Lord is a necessary part of your Christian maturity and a vital part of others peoples life!

Of the five different places in which we find people dwelling, this place is the most dangerous of all for the believer.  It is the darkest of all places.

When we are on our journey into God's promises in our life it can be a weary and tiring place.  Refreshment and provision are things we need along the way.  

In this next segment of our current series, we examine the land across the sea.  People become complacent and our sinful nature is a platform for the enemy to destroy and cripple Christians.

In this episode we examine the second position in which people dwell.  This is the Land of the shield. Reaching people for The Lord has to be done where people are at and not where wish they were.

In this multi-part series, we examine some foundational principles in which Christ-followers must keep at the forefront of their mind when dealing with non-believers.
