The main characteristics of this teaching are: God’s Word is a seed. You heart is the ground. Your harvest is dependent upon the preparedness of your heart. In the beginning, God created… the plants yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after its kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: And God…
Last week was the resurrection of our Lord Jesus (Feast of First Fruits). Today we will look at the events that followed the resurrection. Every believer should understand these events because Jesus commanded us to follow them. 1 Corinthians 15: 20-22: 20 But now Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits…
Review: Passover began on Thursday at sundown (Jesus implements communion with His disciples). Jesus was betrayed that night and crucified that same day at 9:00 am (Still the Passover day). Then died at 3:00 pm and was buried before the sunset of that first day (Friday). He was dead 3 days; Friday until sundown, Saturday…
In this series, we have looked at the fallen nature of man and the fallen nature of Satan and the angels. Today we will review how God judged Satan and the fallen angels, and how God restored man. As we do, we must become deeply impressed with the kind of death Jesus took on the…
Your position from the starting point is paramount to how you finish the race. 1 Corintihains 9:24-26a Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one receives the prize? Run in such a way as to take the prize. 25 Everyone who competes in the games trains with strict…
In this series we have observed God’s two creations, and how each fell. Today, we will explore further the 2 old creations. We will see how God handled the old creation of Satan and the fallen angels, and how God restored the new creation of mankind from the knowledge of sin and death. As we…
The single most damaging thing for a Christian is not knowing who we are or what has already been provided for us. It causes us to miss out on so many things God has planned and provided for us. John 1:12 But to all who did receive Him, to those who believed in His name,…
We have been looking at the details of what the work of the cross entailed. As we unpeel the onion of Scripture, we find many things restored to man from the work of the cross. God has two creations in this universe; angels and man. The old creation of both were done away with through…
The voice of unbelief tells you the opposite of the truth. It makes you assume the worst. It brings with it fear, depression, and unrest. So, anytime you are afraid, feel depressed or stressed, realize there is something you are in unbelief about. Your focus (what you are thinking, considering, or dwelling on) is the…
Today I am going to take you on a journey to reveal how we became righteous. It’s important we understand God’s plan, how Jesus followed it, and how it redeemed us from the curse, and gave us the gift of righteousness. We will look at how fallen man was the center of the old creation,…
Proverbs 3:5-10 Trust in the LORD with all your heart; and lean not unto your own understanding. 6 In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths. 7 Be not wise in your own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil. 8 It shall be health to your body, and strength…
All battles in the life of a believer are to be fought by God. Yet we still have to decide where we will take our stand. Remember, we are a 3 part being: spirit, soul and body. Our soul is our life and “operating system” much like a computer. However we program our soul is…
Too many times, we speak before we think. Do we really want the things we say to come to pass? Death and life are in the power of our tongue. (Proverbs 18:21) The children of Israel found this out the hard way. Look at what God says to Moses after his pleading on their behalf….
We are continuing our study on how spiritual battling for believers works. We have discovered how we fight against the demonic forces of this world. We use the Word of God, and we stand our ground. Today, we will reveal further how believers fight the battle of faith by standing on the Word of God,…
Distractions come in many forms, but are always aimed at steering us off course. It’s important to understand that the devil is not concerned with what keeps us from completing our assignment. He just wants to ensure that it doesn’t get done. 1 Corinthians 7:35 I am saying this for your benefit, not to place…
Along the way in our walk with the Lord, we come up against challenges. We deal with sickness in our bodies, or in the bodies of our loved ones. Sometimes it’s problems at the job; a financial crisis or relationship issues. Sometimes it’s a family matter; children rebelling against God, or issues such as divorce. …
During this season of our Lord’s birth, it is important we remember from whence we came. How do we walk in our faith toward believers, toward unbelievers? How are we supposed to treat others? Should we focus on an unbeliever’s sin? Should we point those sins out? Today, let’s reestablish the balance of our Christian…
Does sin affect God? Romans 5:8-9 But God commends His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Much more then, being now justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him. (NKJ) 1 Thessalonians 1:10 And to wait for His Son from heaven, whom…
The consequences of Adam and Eve eating from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil created the fall of man. After the fall, God told man to master sin. Later God added the law, which further showed man his sins, and that he could not completely follow the law. Therefore, every year the…
We have talked about the consequences of Adam and Eve eating from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. Now man’s eyes (focal point) are opened. God gives us clues by telling Cain he must master his sin. We are restored to God through Jesus, and we live by grace. However, we still MUST…
We want to look at the relationship of grace through faith and how works are involved. Most people think true faith is something they do instead of someone they believe. Grace is given to everyone, but not all receive grace. John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son,…
In our last message, we talked about the two trees God placed in the Garden of Eden for man to choose. If they followed God’s instruction concerning the trees, it would bring life. If they did not, it would bring death. How man lived and walked on the earth was based on how he dealt…
Today we begin a series focusing on the two trees God placed in the Garden of Eden; the Tree of Life and the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. We will look at the significance of why God placed the two trees in the garden giving man the option to choose from them. …
We have been spending time getting to know who we are. “I am a spirit, I live in a body, and I have a soul, which is my mind, will and emotions.” Today we are going to discern the spirit from the soul. In other words, learn how to divide our soulish natural mind from…
We are continuing our study of who we are. We know we are a 3 part being. “I am a spirit, I live in a body, and I have a soul, which is my mind, will and emotions.” The heart functions not as a separate entity, but as a gatekeeper of the soul and spirit. …
Gates are the 1st line of defense. They control entrance and exit. Gates can allow a “window” of opportunity or an “open door” for the enemy. Nehemiah 2:17 Then said Nehemiah unto them, You see the distress that we are in, how Jerusalem lies in ruins, and the gates thereof are burned with fire: come,…
We are continuing our study of who we are. We know we are a 3 part being. “I am a spirit, I live in a body, and I have a soul, which is my mind, will and emotions.” We know the heart is not a separate entity, but a combination of soul and spirit. Today,…
Gates are the 1st line of defense. They control entrance and exit. Gates can allow a “window” of opportunity or an “open door” for the enemy. Nehemiah was among the Hebrews who remained in the Persian Empire following the seventy years of Babylonian Captivity and became the king’s cupbearer. Those Hebrews who went back to…
We are continuing our study of who we are. We have been shown our soul is divided from our spirit. As we get to know ourselves, we will learn how to quiet our souls and listen in our human spirit. A believer’s born again spirit is a combination of our spirit plus the Holy Spirit…
Today we will further divide our soul from our spirit. We will see the various roles of our soul, and we will also see what the heart is. Is the heart separate from the spirit and soul? No. 1 Corinthians 3:16: Do you not know that you are a temple of God and that the…
