As we remember the Last Supper and the commandment Jesus gave to his disciples to love one another as he has loved us, we reflect on who is invited to the Lord’s table.

The true motivation of those who Follow Jesus is love. We love God and from the overflow of that love, we love each other. Jesus lived the example of God’s love, we need only be transformed by that example and live it out.

As we walk through storms in our lives, Psalm 23 can be a great comfort. Jesus is our shepherd who leads us faithfully and safely through any path in life.

To Follow Jesus, our path should be marked by sacrificial living, not self-preservation, our significance is found in surrender, not status, and our greatness is through serving not controlling others.

Before we can truly understand our identity and the meaning and purpose of life, we have to know who Jesus is. He is king and the authority over everything in our lives. Surrendering to his authority and following him is not promised to be easy, but it is full of power and blessings.

As Christians, we are apprentices of Jesus Christ. We should be learning to live our lives as if Jesus was living it. But we can’t try to live Jesus’ life and not adopt his lifestyle. We have to learn from the totality of Jesus’ life, not just from the miracles but from the preparation.

Who are you following and who are you drawn to? Jesus was never afraid of the “unclean” or sinner. He, following his Father’s example, passionately reached for them. As we continuously Follow Jesus, we too should be drawn to people, the unclean, the sinner, the outcast.

The Gospel of Matthew reveals to us what it means to follow Jesus. Jesus taught that Heaven is not just some place we go to when we die, but it is in the here and now. It is available now for those who live under the rule of God – for those who learn His way of living and bring healing and restoration to the rest of the world.

Being a disciple of Jesus is like going into the wilderness. The world is under the influence of evil and is trying to teach you to live the same way. You will have relationships that will be testing and you will have “voices” come into your head that will try to get you to question God’s love and care for you, tempting you not to trust Him. Will you know what to do when you hear those voices? Mat...

Isn’t it funny that we try our whole lives to fit in when God wants us to stand out? Disciples of Jesus need to be Different. But the only way we are going to avoid the drift towards normal is to change our habits – stop doing what we’ve been doing and step into a life that mimics the life of Jesus.

What does it look like to orient our life around God? Different. To live out a life completely Different than the world we live in, we must walk by the Spirit, be led by the Spirit, live by the Spirit and keep in step with the Spirit.

What does it mean to live the Christian life? How does it make us look Different than the world we live in? It all starts with what we make the central focus of our life, because that is what becomes the source of our life. The post Jacob Sheriff – Different – Part 2 appeared first on Victory Life Church .

True encounters with Jesus cause true transformation that looks Different than the world. If we are going to live Different, it is not just going to be because we have a different belief system. It will come from continuously focusing on Jesus, turning away from the pulls of the world and living it out loud. The post Jacob Sheriff – Different – Part 1 appeared first on Victory Life Church .

The Fear of God is not to cower in a corner, hiding from the wrath of His anger. We do not fear God because we are afraid of Him, but because we love Him. The Fear of God is to be in awe of Him – to trust and honor Him above all else, above anyone else. The post Andrew Wommack – The Fear of God appeared first on Victory Life Church .

You can be a champion of the things of God, you can change the environment when you step into the room, you can draw people to you! Jesus said we would do things greater than even he did! Prayer is our mightiest weapon and Jesus taught us how to have Effective Prayer. The post Jim Robinson – Effective Prayer appeared first on Victory Life Church .

We are to be a people of life, light and love in a culture of death, darkness and hate. Too many topics in our culture get labeled as off limits for discussion but we need to learn what the Bible says about all things and be able to stand up for what God says is right and do so in love.

We are entering a new year and with it comes new opportunities. However, a new year does not make things new, Jesus does. He brings transformation and it cannot be microwaved. Our faith is not just a momentary decision but a Long Obedience in the same direction. We are invited to a lifelong relationship where our whole life is to be lived in surrender to Jesus. The post Jacob Sheriff – A Long Obed...

Even before we loved Him, God loved us. Even in our sin and shortcomings, God loves us. His Steadfast Love for us is based on His character and compelled Him to be with us and give His life for us. He proved His steadfast love for us in sending Jesus into our world. And Jesus brought with him the very presence of God into our brokenness and mess to save us!

As Christians, our hope is not based on present reality but on the promise that Jesus will one day return and set the world right. With an eye toward that future, we live in the present with Hope and Peace and an attitude of Joy, trusting God in the midst of life’s challenges and circumstances, because He is the one who brings completeness and wholeness to our lives.

We celebrate Advent, as opposed to just “the holidays,” because, as Christians, we are living with different hopes than the unbelieving culture around us.   Our hope lies in God and the second coming of Jesus, when all things will be made right.

All I want for Christmas is…..? What are you waiting on? What are you hoping for? During this season we invite you to pull away from the fast pace business of the culture and take some time to focus on where your hopes truly lie.  The celebration of Advent allows us to see our waiting and our hopes should not be anchored in present circumstances or feelings and not anchored in humans or systems, b...

The power of the Christian life comes from the spirit, through the soul, expressed in the body. Surrendering our lives to Jesus doesn’t mean we become perfect overnight and will never struggle with sin. Our best life comes from refusing to conform to the ways of this world, refusing to give in to the temptations of sin and renewing our minds to God’s way of seeing things.

Jesus came that we would be Made Whole – body, soul and spirit. Our spirit is renewed when we surrender to Jesus, and it becomes united to His Spirit. Our soul is continually renewed as we yield to our spirit rather than temptations. Our body connects us to this world where we are to exercise the authority God has given us – it too will one day be renewed! The post Duane Sheriff – Made Whole – Par...
