It's the other side of the Red Sea and Moses is a national hero. God has rescued Israel from the pursuing Egyptian army. The song of Moses is on everyone's lips. But God allows a test three short days later and memories of the victory wane as the thirsty people grumble. This week's message "Meekness in Testing" - how meekness responds when there is a divine test cleverly disguised as a national em...

Moses is on his way toward his calling as a deliverer. The Lord uses Moses' staff, which represents the successes and failures of the past, to convince the Israelites of his calling. Soon he will use it as a miracle-working instrument to convince the Egyptians to free the Hebrew slaves. Even with a divine calling and an anointed staff, he would experience set backs that look like (and feel like) f...

Human-facing meekness means we are gentle and don’t seek to retaliate when we are wronged. We can most relate to this aspect of meekness because it's something we wrestle with every day in a world filled with offenses. Yet meekness is also God-facing: how we respond to God. The Lord is perfect in thought and deed so meekness toward God ought to be easy, right? In theory it sounds easy, in practice...

We learned that meekness grows from the revelation that we desperately need God’s power to fulfill our calling. As we continue on our journey, meekness begins to look and feel like weakness to the natural man. Our experience is the absolute opposite of a conquerer; we feel completely weak and incapable. But if we will press on, meekness learns to embrace the weakness and we find the power of the L...

Last week we learned that meekness is a way to work that brings rest. Jesus invites the exhausted to enter into his new way to work so we can cease from burdens that we were not meant to carry as we learn to work with God by faith. This week we continue our series entitled Meekness in our Calling. We'll learn to discern the yoke that is easy and the burden that is light. If you are feeling overwhe...

Jesus made an astonishing statement in Matthew 5:5 "Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth." but then gave no word as to how the meek inherit the earth. The meek are the ‘gentle’… those who do not assert themselves over others in order to further their own agenda. This is the total opposite of the world's system where might makes right and aggression gains possession. How can the a...

Every Christian has both a natural and a spiritual inheritance from birth. Our spiritual birth endowed us with a tremendous spiritual inheritance that includes the family name and likeness, spiritual abilities, resources, rights and privileges. We need to explore and release this inheritance to be successful in the kingdom of God. Embracing both our natural and spiritual inheritance is one of the...

Sometimes the gale winds of life blow hard and we find ourselves far away from where we hoped to be. Can we ever get back to the original plan? In "Secure Calling" we will discover how the goodness of God brings us back to our calling in His house.

When you're raising kids, you learn to expect the unexpected. As a father of six kids, I know how a routine family outing can turn into some pretty scary circumstances because of carelessness. How does God secure us when the careless actions of others can endanger us? We continue our series this week with a message titled "Secure Path" where we discover how God secures a way of escape when things...

We are so accustomed to doing things by ourself, for ourself. Isn't that what being an adult is all about? But then we face growing insecurity when we run across the seemingly unmovable issue in our lives. We just can't make it go away. What do we do? In this week's message "Secure Sanctification", we discover how to cooperate with God's power that can transform us in truly miraculous ways.

Our sense of security is vitally connected to our faith. When we feel secure, we are bold and daring in Christ. When something shakes the foundation of our security, we often withdraw and become timid. We know that our security is in Christ but how should walk in that security when our daily lives are upended by big changes? This Sunday in our new series, "Secure: finding security in Christ in tim...

In Greek mythology, the Sirens were dangerous creatures, who lured nearby sailors with their enchanting music and singing voices toward shipwreck on the rocky coast of their island. The media in the world sounds so good as they ply their products with the beautiful, the funny and the cool. People who become mesmerized by these messages end up with a plastic life impervious to true spiritual vitali...

This week we continue our teaching series with a message entitled "Immunity From Gluttony" where we will discover how to overcome overly strong craving for food by the power of God's word..

Skyrocking murder, domestic violence, and rioting are all signs of growing anger in our society. Even more troubling is the burgeoning quiet anger amongst many of our law-abiding citizens who are frustrated with the injustice they find in our public and private institutions. The Bible teaches that "the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God" (James 1:20) so believers can't allow th...

We live in a time where only the most committed Christians are continuing with the work of the Church. Many are slipping into listless lifestyles with little visible connection to the Kingdom. The biblical definition of sloth is different than the more modern English term of laziness. A translation of the Latin term acedia, it means to be indifferent to our duties and obligations to God. It is a d...

Our first two messages in the Immunity series were on Pride and Greed. Pride and greed are sins of the soul. This week we will look at lust which is a sin of the flesh. The lust of flesh left unchecked will destroy the soul. 1 Peter 2:11 says Beloved, I urge you as sojourners and exiles to abstain from the passions of the flesh, which wage war against your soul. It's a must-win battle.

Ecclesiastes 5:10 describes the symptoms of greed when it says "Whoever loves money never has enough; whoever loves wealth is never satisfied with their income..." Our unredeemed hearts crave more in the hope that our latest acquisition will satisfy, yet it never does. This week we continue our series with a message entitled "Immunity From Greed". Discover the Biblical secrets to winning the battl...

How does sin make a move from being an occasional temptation to a disasterous public spectacle? It usually starts with the most dangerous and yet least understood of humans sins: the sin of pride. The Bible verse-turned-popular-axiom, "Pride goes before the fall", contains an important clue to defeating all sin. This week we will learn practical ways to overcome the sin of pride in a message entit...

We live in an age of infection. Masks, social distancing, sanitizers and quarantines are all designed to keep micro organisms from spreading before they can cause harm. Sin is also invisible and doesn't seem dangerous at first, but even pleasant. The Bible clearly says that the affects of sin lead to death. Christ has freed us from the power of sin but there remains a fight to keep free from its i...

The Bible doesn't condemn the desire to be prepared for the future, only how we go about it. God's wisdom includes knowledge of His plan and purposes for the future. Let's unlock God's wisdom in "Faith that Works Wisdom". If you crave clarity on what to do in these chaotic times, this is the message for you.

This week we will learn how to renew our physical, emotional, and spiritual strength. If you've felt the weariness of living in the constant barrage of today's negativity, then this is the message for you. You don't want to miss it!

The Bible teaches that obedience empowered by grace released through faith brings glory to God. If you've ever struggled to gain victory over your flesh, then this is the message for you. You don't want to miss it!

How do we continue in faith when things seem to be heading in the wrong direction? This week we continue our "Faith that Works" series with a message titled Faith That Works Endurance where we will learn how to grow faith while we wait on the Lord for His answer.

Biblical Faith works to strengthen us beyond our natural abilities to do great exploits for God. Whether you need courage to overcome discouragement, or self-control overcome a physical desire, or fresh energy to continue to work when you are exhausted, faith works to deliver the resources we need to win our personal battles. This week we launch a new teaching series call "Faith That Works" where...
