Romans 12, So here ’ s what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—and place it before God as an offering. It’s one of our greatest acts of worship.   This is why we should never reduce worship down to just singing songs from emotion. Realizing its our offering, from a humble, reverent heart. And make no mi...

Revelation 5:9-10,NKJV-  They sang a new song, saying:  “ You are worthy to take the scroll, and to open its seals; for You were slain, and have redeemed us to God by Your blood out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation, and have made us KINGS and PRIESTS to our God; and we shall reign on the earth.”   This phrase kings and priests is not just the future assignment of God’s people, it’s...

Thanks for all the response at the Get Plugged In table last week.   Something very important to remember is that it’s just as important that you’re in service and not serving all the time.   Also, as you’re trying different departments, if it doesn’t fit don’t get frustrated. Simply move on to something else.   1 Corinthians 12:27,MSG- You are Christ ’ s body—that ’ s who you are! You must never...

1 Corinthians 12:27,MSG- You are Christ ’ s body—that ’ s who you are! You must never forget this. Only as you accept your part of that body does your  “ part” mean anything.   In Ephesians 4 Paul says it a little different way, Jesus fits His whole body together perfectly. And as each part does it’s own special work, it cause the whole body to grow.   I personally don’t think God’s plan for His c...

Ruth 4, So Boaz took Ruth and she became his wife; and the LORD gave her a son. Then the women said to Naomi,  “ Blessed be the LORD, who has not left you this day without a close relative; and may his name be famous in Israel! And may he be to you a restorer of life and a nourisher of your old age; for your daughter-in-law, who loves you, who is better to you than seven sons, has borne him.” And...

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; My cup runs over. Psalm 23:5 NKJV   What is overflowing out of you? Is it the things of God? Or the things of this world?    Make no mistake about it we will not stay empty we will be filled; the question is it’s what will we be filled with? Is it His will and His ways? Or yours and the worlds?    Blessed are...

Matthew 13, When Jesus returned to his hometown, He made a real hit. They had no idea he was this good!” But in the next breath they were cutting him down: “We’ve known him since he was a kid; he’s the carpenter’s son. Who does he think he is?” And he didn’t do many miracles because of their unbelief.   Psalm 78, How often they provoked Him in the wilderness, they continually turned back and tempt...

Matthew 28, MSG,CEV- God authorized and commanded Me to commission you: Go out and train everyone you meet in this way of life, marking them by baptism in the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and teach them to do everything I have told you.   Now as with everything pertaining to Jesus and His Kingdom, the only way any of this is a reality is through faith. We have to believe this stuff!!   Think abou...

Matthew 13:55-58,NKJV- Is this not the carpenter ’ s son? Is not His mother called Mary? And His brothers James, Joses, Simon, and Judas? 56, And His sisters, are they not all with us? Where then did this Man get all these things?” 57, So they were offended at Him. But Jesus said to them, “ A prophet is not without honor except in his own country and in his own house.” 58, Now He did not do many m...

At the end of the day, you’ve got to believe this stuff!!   And it starts wit...

Matthew 13:54-58,NKJV- When He had come to His own country, He taught them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished and said,  “ Where did this Man get this wisdom and these mighty works?  55, Is this not the carpenter ’ s son? Is not His mother called Mary? And His brothers James, Joses, Simon, and Judas?  56, And His sisters, are they not all with us? Where then did this Man get all thes...

Matthew 10, Jesus sends out His first disciples.  “ You go preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand. Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons. Freely you have received, freely give.”   10:37,  “ He who loves father or mother, son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me.  And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me. He who loses...

1 Corinthians 15:12-14,NLT- Tell me this, since we preach that Christ rose from the dead, why are some of you saying there will be no resurrection of the dead? For if there is no resurrection of the dead, then Christ has not been raised either. And if Christ has not been raised, then all our preaching is useless, and your faith is useless. Everything about eternity, heaven, Christianity, Jesus, al...

Over the years, something I've recognized is that many wonderfully born again Christians are simply not comfortable praying. Especially publicly.   And until we take some steps of faith and try, not only prayer, but anything pertaining to the world of the Spirit is something we'll always be uncomfortable with.   In its simplest form, prayer is fellowship with the Almighty, our Father. But at a clo...

Commissioned- Entrusting someone with supervisory authority for a specific action.   Matthew 28, MSG,CEV- God authorized and commanded me to commission you: Go out and train everyone you meet in this way of life, marking them by baptism in the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and teach them to do everything I have told you.   As a disciple, at what point do we embrace the fact that everything Jesus t...

In its simplest form, prayer is fellowship with the Almighty, our Father. But at a closer look, it’s how a human, born of the spirit, navigates that world.   It’s so much more than simply asking God for something. Remember, our English word prayer is used a number of ways in the Hebrew and Greek language: intercede, petition, fellowship, worship, meditate, communion.   Over the years, something I'...

Commissioned- Committing or entrusting someone with supervisory authority for a specific action. Matthew 28:16-20,NKJV- Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, to the mountain which Jesus had appointed for them.  When they saw Him, they worshiped Him; but some doubted.  And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying,  “ All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.  Go therefore a...

Luke 6:47-48,NKJV-  “ Whoever comes to Me, and hears My sayings and does them, I will show you whom he is like: He is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid the foundation on the rock. And when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently against that house, and could not shake it, for it was founded on the rock.”   Everything pertaining to the Kingdom of God has to be established and s...

So as I was asking God what to share with you I always want it to be inspiring, uplifting, and exciting.  So I was putting this talk together and well, I’m not so sure this talk is those things.  I believe it’s definitely needed, but it felt more like one of those “Pastoral” messages than a fun one.  I mean I hope it inspires and challenges you to make some positive change because it sure has in m...

Prayer is a subject of great debate among Christians, driven by opinion, religious tradition, experiences, and emotion. Way to often considered an optional, or something we turn to in difficult situations.   But what is it, really? Bottom line, as with every other reality concerning the realities of God’s world, there’s only one true source to go to and that’s His word.   Luke 6:47-48,NKJV-  “ Who...

  1 Corinthians 13:4-8,NLT-   Love is patient and kind.  Love is not jealous, boastful, proud or rude.  Love does not demand its own way.  Love is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged.  Love does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out.  Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.   According to t...
