Sparks from God's Heart

Our last message was entitled: “What is it about “NEW” you don’t get?”  In it we focused on the reality that YOU receive an entirely NEW LIFE and identity when you place your faith in Jesus Christ.  Today, we want to focus on how to live your NEW LIFE when you find yourself still surrounded by OLD circumstances (and people) that are not yet changed.  We focus on some of the writings of the Apostle...

God said, “I make all things NEW!”  Contrary to popular belief, the Gospel of Jesus Christ is not a self-help rehabilitation program intended to make us better people.  And the cross is not a religious symbol, but the instrument of spiritual death to my old Adamic life and sinful nature.  By accessing His ultimate death and burial, by joining myself to Jesus Christ through faith, I am now able to...

In a world filled with all sorts of religious opinions, it’s refreshing to hear the true Gospel of Christ from a true expert—the Apostle Paul!  He wrote it all down and sent it as a letter to the believers in Rome.  His letter has been translated and is available for us today, so that in these present turbulent times, as well as those to come, our hearts will forever be established by grace and pe...

The Apostle Paul both shared his heart and challenged us when he wrote: “ That I may know Him and the power of His resurrection… ” (Phil. 3:10).  It seems Paul discovered that knowing the Lord Jesus in a deeper, more intimate way begins with knowing “The POWER of His RESURRECTION.”  But what does that mean for us today?  We dig deep into this precious subject.  Are you ready to join us as we mine...

This is the CONCLUSION of our Three-Part Series of what it means to “LIVE In The WORD!”   What the Lord so graciously revealed to us here, concerning our new life as a believer and then as a disciple of Christ, is so amazing that I (Steve) said, “I wish I had known this stuff 30 years ago!”   Expect to experience what it truly means when the Truth (Jesus) makes you free !  Happy Listening!

As the Lord led me (Steve) deeper into this study, I discovered some foundational concepts concerning what it means to be a BELIEVER, when contrasted with what it means to be a DISCIPLE, that my understanding of what it means to truly “LIVE In The WORD” will forever be changed!   As the Lord brought the Israelites out of the wilderness after 40 years, I feel as if He has brought me out of "re...

Love a good mystery?  So does our God!  Everyone thought the closest anyone could ever get to God was when He dwelt WITH us in a tabernacle or temple .  Who would have imagined His ultimate plan was to live IN us?   Do you realize WE are now living IN that day?   Prepare to be encouraged and strengthened by this how-to introduction to LIVING In The WORD! Steve & Varvah

We are living in very turbulent and uncertain times.   But as Christians, we have an ability to release tremendous spiritual power and peace into those storms of life by being THANKFUL to God .  Sounds too simple?   Prepare to be amazed as you listen! Steve & Varvah

Our world has entered a very dark and precarious time!   Television, internet and social media has made us regular eyewitnesses to unthinkable atrocities of war, violent crimes, mass shootings, as well as unimaginable devastation from floods, earthquakes, wildfires, and other natural disasters.  The constant bombardment of our senses is taking a toll on our souls and even our physical health.  Our...

Having the Holy Spirit living inside of us triggers that occasional longing to go even DEEPER in Christ .  In this message we explore those feelings and discuss what the Lord requires of us to take our relationship with Him into that DEEPER place.  Sometimes we just need a little housekeeping and maintenance!   Be blessed as you listen!   Steve & Varvah 

When war breaks out and fear and uncertainty tries to surround us, I’ve learned to stop and FOCUS on the PROMISES of God!   During these times, we face relentless bombardment of thoughts, ideas, and opinions from every direction.  But true PEACE can come from only ONE direction— WHAT DID GOD REALLY SAY?   In this teaching, we return to our CHRISTIAN ROOTS to bring our hearts and minds back into ch...

No one saw it coming!   No one saw the deadliest attack against Israel since the Yom Kippur War, 50 years ago; no one saw it coming!  No one expected Hamas to launch an attack against Israel which would jolt us into remembering how we were caught off guard by Pearl Harbor and also by 911.  We believe this barbaric attack is a wake-up call , not only to the free world, but also to the Church .  We...

GREAT JOY filled the house as this message was shared!  Building on a previous teaching: “Understanding THE WORLD,” where Jesus said, “In this world you will have tribulation,” we go deeper into how He has enabled us to be overcomers of life’s problems by giving us His mind – “The MIND OF CHRIST!”  Learn what a huge difference making RIGHT CHOICES can make!  Expect to experience GREAT JOY as you l...

Yom Kippur is the holiest day in Judaism.  Like all the Feasts, it points to Jesus , our Messiah.  Prophetess Melanie Knight joined Steve & Varvah in bringing amazing insight into what God is speaking to us today through this ancient Jewish Feast.  Ever struggle with believing God has truly forgiven you?  PREPARE TO BE SET FREE!   When we make Jesus our High Priest, everyday becomes Yom Kippur...

The Jewish NEW YEAR is a celebration of God’s enduring promise of making “All Things NEW!”  Prophetess Melanie Knight and Coco Wilson joined Steve & Varvah in sharing a feast of powerful revelation of what God is speaking today through this ancient Jewish Feast.  According to the Jewish Calendar, we have now emerged from a double Jubilee year into 5784 – “ The Year of the OPEN DOOR .”  If your...

Prophetess Melanie Knight joined Steve and Varvah for this special tag-team teaching on the Love of God.  There was a powerful anointing that filled the house, and we believe you will experience that same anointing as you listen.  Remember, YOU are GREATLY LOVED by Him!   Steve & Varvah

Jesus said, “I have overcome the world.”   But what is “THE WORLD” that needs overcoming?  And how can YOU and I be “overcomers” unless we understand what we are supposed to overcome?  Prepare to be blessed and amazed as some hidden truths are finally brought out of darkness and exposed to the light! Steve and Varvah 

I heard the Lord say, “It's time to talk about the relationship between your health and your thinking.”  This message builds on a previous message: “Being an OVERCOMER!”   We offer valuable personal experience on how we have learned to control runaway thoughts and fears.  God has destined you to be an OVERCOMER!  Blessings, Steve & Varvah

Jesus told us in this world, WE WILL HAVE TROUBLE and TRIBULATION!   But Jesus has already overcome the world and He has given us the key to OVERCOMING anything the world and the enemy would try to throw at us.  But do you know what that key is and how to use it?  You will want to pay very close attention to this podcast!  We know it will bless, empower, and renew your PEACE!  Steve & Varvah

What did James mean when he said, "The effective, fervent prayers of a righteous man avails much?"  Are some prayers more powerful than others?  Do you know how to pray with the same Kingdom authority that Jesus did?  At the conclusion, we invite you to join with us in praying for an outpouring in our/your state.  Steve & Varvah
