Pastor Vic's Nuggets of Truth

Free Podcast Downloads The Gospel Is a Person: Jesus Christ ! One of the most important words in the Bible is the word, Gospel. The word gospel means “Good News.” Jesus came preaching the Good News, and the central point of this teaching is that Jesus is the Gospel. He is the Good News. Sometimes our focus is on what the good news of Jesus brings; He indeed brings health, healing, wholeness, prosp...

Free Podcast Downloads The Holy Spirit Is a Person! Many people think of the Holy Spirit as a vague force—something like energy, influence, or power. But Scripture consistently presents the Holy Spirit not as a “thing,” but as a Person—one who thinks, feels, speaks, and relates. Understanding this truth changes everything. It transforms the Christian life from a mechanical religious experience int...

Free Podcast Downloads How the Holy Spirit Produces Spiritual Boldness in the Believer Boldness in the Christian life is not something we work up; it is something God works in. When the Holy Spirit fills a believer, courage replaces fear, clarity replaces confusion, and obedience replaces hesitation. Jesus says in Acts 1:8, “But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and y...

Free Podcast Downloads I want to talk about an important aspect of God’s will for us, and that is the difference between God’s perfect will and His permissive will. However, before we can really understand the difference between God’s perfect will and His permissive will for us, we need to understand the Biblical concept of free-will. In Scripture, free-will refers to the God-given ability of huma...

Free Podcast Downloads One of the most misunderstood words in the Bible is the word “rest.” We are commanded to “enter into the Lord’s rest” but many understand that to mean to refrain from work. While it is important to get physical rest the rest that the Lord wants is a rest for our souls.  Many try to replace work with recreation such as sports, hobbies, TV or watching reels on our phones....

Free Podcast Downloads  In my last post, “190 Are Christians under the Law of Moses,” I said that the Bible teaches that Jesus fulfilled the Law. Matthew 5:17, “Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill.” This means that the Law is now outdated because Jesus completed its purpose. The Law has been replaced by grace, Hebrews 8:13, “ In tha...

Free Podcast Downloads In my previous episode, 189 The Better Covenant, I made the point that the Bible, both Old and New Testaments, is the inspired Word of God, literally 'God-breathed' (2 Timothy 3:16). From beginning to end, it reveals God’s redemptive plan and His covenant relationship with humanity. The two Testaments represent two distinct covenants: the Old Covenant given to Israel through...

Free Podcast Downloads 189 - The Better Covenant As Christians, we understand that the entire Bible, Old Testament and New Testament, is inspired, or “God breathed.” 2 Timothy 3:16, “ All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.”  The word “inspiration” literally means “breathed”, in other words, all sc...

Free Podcast Downloads God’s desire is to dwell with His people. The basic restoration of God’s plan is eternal, unbroken fellowship with His people.   The Bible makes it clear that God longs to dwell with His people; it is not a side note or unimportant issue. From the Garden of Eden in Genesis to the New Jerusalem in the book of Revelation, the Lord continually moves towards us. God’s desire is...

Free Podcast Downloads The Relationship Between Character and Anointing in Christianity There is a vital relationship between the character of a Believer and the anointing in the Believer that is often overlooked. It is all too common to focus on either character or anointing, rather than both. This problem in Christianity goes back to the saying, “With the Word (Bible) only, you dry up. With the...
