Our High Calling with Brett W. Denman

Quite simply, intercessory prayer is the act of praying on behalf of others. God calls all Christians to be intercessors. It is God’s desire that every believer be active in intercessory prayer. What a wonderful and exalted privilege we have in being able to come boldly before the throne of Almighty God with our prayers and requests. Let's take a deeper look.

The Bible is a rich, diverse, complex collection of 66 books written over thousands of years, and by all sorts of different authors. It’s an important book that has shaped major parts of history—and it can also help us find meaning, guidance, and insight as we get to know more about God, the Creator of the Universe, and His plan for each one of us. Let's take a look at how to understand it be...

The Beatitudes initiate one of the main themes of Matthew's Gospel, that the Kingdom so long awaited in the Old Testament is not of this world, but of the next, the Kingdom of Heaven.    While the Beatitudes of Jesus provide a way of life that promises salvation, they also bring peace in the midst of our trials and tribulations on this earth. Let's look at what Jesus tells us about perse...

Backsliders are an area of concern for God. We are still to witness to these lost souls just as we are to those who have never heard the gospel. This is an area that can be difficult for many Christians, especially when it concerns loved ones who have lost their desire for the Lord. It can be extremely painful to see people who we really care about going back to their old ways. Let's take a l...

To actually live a life based on your profession of faith requires a change of character. Sanctification is God’s will for each of us. There are three different ways the Bible uses the word sanctification. There is positional sanctification, progressive sanctification, and complete sanctification. Let's take a look at all three.  Follow us on Facebook and Telegram Also available on Google Pod...

While today's societal embracing of all religions would love to say that "all paths lead to Heaven," the Bible tells us that Jesus is the only way to God's forgiveness, salvation, and eternal life. In fact, Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me"   in John 14:6. Note that He says the way—not a way. Unless we he...

The Bible tells us the Good News of Jesus Christ isn't going to spread itself. Unless we take it upon ourselves to do our part for the Kingdom many people will be lost.

My family packed up our stuff and headed 3,000 miles east. The Exodus out of southern Oregon to the Southeastern part of the United States had a very Biblical feel to it. I couldn't help notice some similarities between our move and the one found in the Bible. The bottom line is God was leading both of us and eventually got us to our desired destination. Let's look at some more. Follow u...

The way we live each day makes a difference. When we treat others and ourselves with respect and compassion, we honor God as our Creator and recognize Jesus’ sacrifice for us. We are called to be a godly people who think, feel, and act in harmony with biblical principles in all aspects of personal and social life.  For the Spirit to recreate in us the character of our Lord we involve ourselves onl...

As Jesus prepared to depart this world, He knew that difficult days lay ahead for His disciples. He wanted them to be ready for the most challenging times they would ever face. Jesus explained how they could endure through the troubles of this life. In John 16:33 it says, “I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart...

God sees everything we do, hears everything we say, and He really does care about how we treat His law. While the Lord offers forgiveness for our sins, it doesn’t mean there aren’t consequences for breaking God’s law. Amazingly, some Christians say that any attempt to obey God’s law amounts to legalism. Yet Jesus said if you really love God, you’ll do what He asks. So, is obedience really legalism...

God is the source of your growth. You cannot become spiritually mature by trying really hard to do so without Him. As you walk in the power of the Holy Spirit, read the Bible, pray, tell people about Christ, and spend time with other believers, God will be at work in you, producing fruitfulness and maturity.

The apostle Paul counseled us to 'Examine yourselves' when it came to our spiritual walk. In our Christian pilgrimage, it's a good idea to periodically take inventory of our spiritual health. We must sometimes review our progress and if necessary make adjustments. Let's take a look. Follow us on Facebook and Telegram Also available on Google Podcast, Spotify, Amazon Audible and...

Stephen was the first person murdered because of his belief in Jesus Christ — what we refer to as a martyr. Being stoned was a slow and cruel death, but Stephen endured it through his bold faith. He even asked God to have mercy on these merciless men, just as Jesus did when dying slowly on the cross. His story is important for us today. Let's take a look.

Many people can recite the Lord’s Prayer without being able to explain what it means or answer basic questions about it.  I’d like to break it down very simply to help us all better understand what Jesus was teaching about prayer.

It is the word of God, written by God through others. It was written for us, to show us there will be better days ahead, to assure us we won't end up somewhere we do not belong, to remind us to never give up and to never be afraid. Whatever we are feeling, whatever we are going through or whatever answers we need, we just need to turn to the Bible. God's got an answer for everything. Fol...

This may be hard for you to believe but some people like to make fun of Christians. Mocking is trying to provoke our base emotions. To hurt our feelings. Attacking pride, dignity, and self worth. It’s one way people use to try and change your mind or bring doubt into your faith. Since this is an attempt to destroy your faith it’s satanic in origin. We need to apply sound Biblical principles to ove...

One of the most famous chapters in the Bible gives memorable summaries of Old Testament heroes of faith and shows what these men and women did that so pleased God. These brief vignettes of faithful and faith-filled people of God demonstrate the power of trust in God and how to grow in it. This Hebrews 11 study will explore the chapter to find what God wants us to learn about faith today. Let'...

What does it mean to “experience” salvation?  Salvation is being saved from our sins and accepting God’s gift of eternal life. When you accept God’s salvation, you can be at peace about your future. You don’t have to live in fear because God has promised to save you from the eternal consequences of sin. Let's take a closer look.

Jesus Christ said that end-time events would be like those during the days of Noah. Discussing the time near His return to earth, Jesus declared in Luke 17:26, “As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be also in the days of the Son of Man..."  It appears people thought they were living normal lives during the time Noah lived, just before the Flood. They were oblivious to the impending disas...

John Calvin was a French protestant reformer. His doctrine on predestination teaches that there are two classes of people in the world. Those who have been predestined by God before the foundation of the earth to eternal damnation and those that have been predestined to eternal life. This is a very controversial doctrine in the Christian world. Let's take a look into it. Follow us on Facebook...

It’s February! It’s the time of the year where the prices of the flowers, chocolates, greeting cards, dating places, and many others exponentially go up. According to some statistics, Valentine’s Day is one of the costliest world holidays. A lot of Christians will be celebrating Valentine’s Day on February 14. However, do you know that Jesus doesn’t want you to celebrate this pagan holiday? Here’s...

Ecumenism is a beautiful idea. I would love to stand alongside Christians from different churches and serve Christ together. The truth, however, is that we wouldn’t necessarily be serving the same Christ. Christians, we need to ask ourselves if the “Christians” we are yoking with are sharing the gospel we know from the Bible or not. If not, then approach their teachings with a critical eye and dis...

Some people in the Bible thought they could ignore or manipulate God’s commands. One sad example is King Saul, a proud man the prophet Samuel addressed with these sober words: “to obey is better than sacrifice.” Why did Samuel say those words, and what can we learn from Saul that might change our own attitudes about obedience?
