Sermons of Love

Our Sister Church in India is now facing increasing persecution and resistance to the Good News of Jesus Christ. Even signs and wonders bring conversions and rejection! It is like the situation when Jesus healed. How do we pray for those under the slavery of principalities and powers? How do we react to them when persecuted? This is a message I shared with our brothers and sisters in Tamil Nadu In...

Trusting God in the Shaking, A Conflict of Powers Exodus 8 & Genesis 26 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all,...

Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to John, to be baptized by him. John would have prevented him, saying, “I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?”  But Jesus answered him, “Let it be so now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness.” Then he consented.  And when Jesus was baptized, immediately he went up from the water, and behold, the heavens were...

Last week’s message was on forgiveness:  Some may struggled and feel like you can’t forgive:  Forgiveness is an act of the will not of the emotions. In fact, your emotions won’t get healed until you forgive.  Gary will be preaching about demons. I’m going to do a quick introduction into deliverance ministry.  The Body of Christ (that means you) has authority to deliver people fro...

(Audio has an echo... sorry) Habakkuk 2:4  "The Righteous Shall Live by his Faithfulness."  - Quoted by Paul.  In Hebrew, faithfulness means trustworthy or steadfast.  It is different from faith. It is being faithful to do what is right and follow the Lord's leading even when you don't have faith to move mountains.  Genesis 16, 17:15 –21 1 Samuel 21:10 –22:2 Mark 14:26 –31...

He was chosen against his will. He did not seek, ask, or desire. He was chosen by the Grace of God.  In fa...

Genesis 37: 1-11 Joseph is 17, a tattletale, and not very humble or smart. Joseph Enslaved, He Prospers Falsely Accused & Thrown into Prison While in Prison, He Prospers. God is more interested in the development of your character than in giving you things. Faith and Confession cannot shorten the process.

What is Faith?  “ If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind. For that person must not suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his way...

The War Within    “But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast and be false to the truth.” (James 3:14, ESV) The hardest struggle we have in this life is not with others, but within ourself.  Humility was not valued in Roman culture, Ambition was.* “What causes quarrels and what causes fights among you? Is it not this, that your passions are at...
