The Least Of These - His Love Ministries

Send us Fan Mail A poet said, Do this and live, the law commands, but it gives me neither feet nor hands. A better word the gospel brings, it bids me fly and gives me wings. The gospel tells us to do something, to fly, and yet it gives us wings. It gives us the power to live for Christ.

Send us Fan Mail Living for God, he says, the fruit of the spirit is what? Love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness. Meekness, faith, difference. That's not fruits, but that's fruit. That's one thing that happens. We get all of those things when we live for Jesus. And those don't happen naturally. I mean, you don't see a fruit tree and when it grows, there&ap...

Send us Fan Mail Eph 4:14 that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, 15 but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head--Christ-- 16 from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the...

Send us Fan Mail I know that's kind of confusing. But we died to the law. We died to the law and it no longer has dominion over us. But we're not lawless. Because guess what? We're united to Christ. We're sharing his life. And thus we're walking in newness of life. Romans 8.4 says that the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us. Who walk not after the flesh but...

Send us Fan Mail And that's what he's saying here is that so many times people want to try to just set these rules and standards and we come up with a list of do's and don'ts, of do's and don'ts, do's and don'ts. And we hold ourselves and everybody else to this standard. But instead of trying to live by those rules, Let's just love the one who died for...

Send us Fan Mail Eph 4:12 for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ,13 till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ;   V12 Equipping is to bring from sin to obedience…to mend or restore something. As believers we are to restore those...

Send us Fan Mail And I said, look where you're at right now. Somebody tells you when to eat, when to sleep, when to get up, when to go to bed. They tell you when to do this, when to do that. And you're locked up in a facility. You're enslaved. That's what your sin has cost you, your freedom, right? 

Send us Fan Mail from somebody and it says, sin will take you further than you want to go, keep you longer than you wanted to stay, and cost you more than you ever wanted to pay. 

Send us Fan Mail Eph 4:11 And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, v11 Apostles ·         Lay the foundation of the church ·         Receive, declare, and write scripture ·         Give confirmation of the Word by signs, wonders, and miracles Prophets ·         Served in a Local Congregation ·         Gave direct revelation ·         ...

Send us Fan Mail He says, do you not know that to whom you present yourselves slaves to obey, you are that one slaves whom you obey whether of sin leading to death or of obedience leading to righteousness. So what does he say here? There is no middle ground between being a slave to sin and a slave to obedience. 

Send us Fan Mail What I tell people is like Ephesians 3.20 says, for he is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all we ask or think according to his power that works in us mightily, right?

Send us Fan Mail Eph 4:7 But to each one of us grace was given according to the measure of Christ's gift. 8 Therefore He says: "When He ascended on high, He led captivity captive, And gave gifts to men." 9 (Now this, "He ascended" --what does it mean but that He also first descended into the lower parts of the earth? 10 He who descended is also the One who ascended far abo...

Send us Fan Mail Listen, sin is a dethroned monarch. Even though he's still trying to give us orders, you know what, we don't have to obey them. And sin wants us back under its control. So he says, do not let sin reign in your mortal body. Notice what he says here, that sin is personified as a king who rules over the lives of his people. And we were his slaves. In verse 17 it says, you w...

Send us Fan Mail Eph 4:2b with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love, 3 endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. 4 There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling; 5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism; 6 one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.   Verses 2 and 3 depict attitudes, not techniqu...

Send us Fan Mail   George Sweeting wrote, It is a fearful thing that people can be consumed by their own lust. Only God's grace keeps us from the wolf's fate. Only God's grace keeps us from doing to ourselves what that wolf does to himself. I think about the sharks, you know, they go crazy when they get in the water, right? And they attack them. Anybody like to watch Shark Week? I a...

Send us Fan Mail           You know, the problem is we just don't know the power we have within us. That's the thing. Paul said I can do what? All things through Christ who strengthens me. 2 Corinthians 12, he said when I am weak, I am strong, right? Because why? Christ's power dwells in me. There's so many other places. Philippians 2.12, he talks about that. I was just trying...

Send us Fan Mail           I remember the story, what was it, about one of the future queen of England or something? They never did tell her that she was going to be the Queen of England because they were worried if they told her who she was that she would begin acting up and acting out because of who she was. And the one person decided to tell her who she was and she says, now that I know who I a...

Send us Fan Mail  What does that mean? It means that the church today has access to God. that we should come with boldness. And then Hebrews 4.15 and 16 talks about that we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace. That we may obtain mercy and find grace to help...

Send us Fan Mail          But when you know Christ, you don't have to live that way anymore. You can live for God and you don't have to live that way.

Every single one of us were capable of it. If you've never tru...

Send us Fan Mail This message centers on the profound truth that the mystery of God’s redemptive plan—formerly hidden but now revealed—is the unity of Jew and Gentile in one body, the Church, through faith in Christ.
