06.May.2012 SPIRITIAL GROWTH & UNITY-Part 2

Matthew 13:44 records Jesus telling a simple parable to explain the Kingdom of Heaven. “The Kingdom of Heaven is like a treasure that a man discovered hidden in a field. In his excitement, he hid it again and sold everything he owned to get enough money to buy the field — and to get the [...]

29.Apr.2012 Spiritial Growth & Unity

The book of Hebrews was written to introduce a new Jesus. Some chapters mention Jesus the man, Jesus God’s Son, Jesus the Savior, and Jesus the Christ; but this book was about Jesus the High Priest. A figure all members of that society recognized: Romans, pagans, unbelieving Jews, and also believers who followed Christ.

22.Apr.2012 Mature Christian

One of the hardest things to witness as a pastor is to see people come into relationship with Christ then slip away without finishing the commitment. It’s fairly easy to commit to Christ; in fact, one can almost be talked into it. The hard part is in becoming mature Christians. [...]

01.Apr.2012 Making Disciples

Next to John 3:16, one of the most familiar verses to a believer is what we know as The Great Commission.

05.Feb.2012 The Tithe (part 1)

The tithe is found in both the Old and New Testaments. We see Abraham paying Melchizedek the High Priest a tenth of what he took as spoils of war, along with the first communion. People in those times learned to give their tithes of crops abundantly into the storehouse, a literal building that [...]

02.Oct.2011 The Four Rivers – The River of Anointing part 2

The concept of the Rivers and the Garden continues to unfold the further we go into this series. The garden of the heart is filled with seeds that grow and produce fruit, providing even more seed. But what do we do with this new seed? Do we store it in barns, afraid that we won’t [...]

04.Sep.2011 My Cup – The Cup of Covenant 1st

In Luke 22, Jesus & His disciples are eating the Passover meal together, and Jesus passes around the first cup of the night- the cup of fellowship. “Take this wine and share it among yourselves,” He said as He gave thanks to God. Connectedness was what God was working out in that moment, [...]

25.Jun.2011 Biblical Freedom

There has been some confusion over what it means to live as the Christians did in the New Testament—when the Holy Spirit came to earth—and Old Testament—when laws and rules were overruled.
