Why did God use so many Old Testament examples? Everything God has done, is doing, and will ever do is His effort to get mankind to know Him better. Romans 15:4 For whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope. (NKJ)…
Today we are going to look further into the correlation between our body, and the Temple of God. At the end of the message, we will discuss the analogy of how the wilderness experience (the Exodus of the Israelites from Egypt) compares to the 3 parts of who we are. We will talk…
Faith is as important to your spiritual man as breathing is to your physical man. Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him: for he that comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him. (NKJ) All of Satan’s attacks are…
Today we are starting a new series looking at the correlation between the Temple of God and our human body. Our goal in this series is to become aware of our human make up, and how we are to communicate with God. When we understand the significance between the Temple God built through Moses,…
We have learned from the children of Israel that trust is the key to entering God’s rest. Since they chose to believe what they saw instead of trusting God, they could not enter God’s rest. As a result, no trust, no promise land. It is the same with us. Hebrews 3: 7-14: 7 Therefore, as…
Hebrews 4:11 Let us labor therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief. (NKJ) Why is labor needed in order to rest? When faced with trials and tribulations, it can be a struggle to keep our thoughts on the victory that has already been won rather than…
Ironically, believers must labor to enter God’s rest. We cannot fold our hands and sit back because removing unbelief and trusting God takes constant effort. So the labor we have is learning to trust God, and disregard unbelief. We will be using the Exodus as our example to learn from. Hebrews 3: 7-17: 7 That…
Do you have trust issues? Do you have trouble letting things go or leaving things in God’s hands? Jesus is bigger than ANY problem you could ever have. Stop holding on and just be held. Proverbs 4:20-23 My son, attend to my words; incline your ear unto my words. 21 Let them not depart from…
Hope is like faith. You cannot have one without the other. Hope is expecting what you see inside of you to manifest itself outside of you. When it manifests, it becomes real, and when you see it, you have no need to hope for it any longer. Today, we are going to delve deeper…
The world implies hope to mean that something will automatically or magically happen without effort. Biblical hope is more than just wishful thinking or being optimistic. An idea or good thought can’t guarantee an outcome. They might help a mental attitude, but they don’t guarantee anything. Evil thoughts are often referred to in the…
Self justification is a form of self-righteousness. It’s an inward belief that somehow because of what we do for God and others, we are owed greater favor and honor. It’s the mental attitude that begins to believe we are righteous because of what we do; not what Jesus did. Self justification is always concerned with…
The root of the problem is not with justification but with self. The Bible calls it the flesh or carnal mind. The fundamental nature of the flesh is to trust our own reasoning over God’s Word. Faith cannot be achieved or managed by the…
Today, we’re going to talk about the subject of self-justification. Have you ever noticed how human beings are really good at justifying themselves? Often, instead of admitting we are wrong, we find a way to explain why we are not. There are several characteristics of believers who habitually “self justify.” Some to be careful of…
Today is “Easter Sunday,” a better term is Resurrection Day; the day our Lord rose from the dead. We all know Jesus died for our sins, but most believers don’t live in the resurrection life. Today, we’re going to delve into what Jesus accomplished on the cross so that we get in the state of…
Today we’re going to begin a new series. As you all know we teach on faith often. It is the foundation of believing the Word. So we believers need to be careful to understand faith works by our need for God; not our need for our own self-efforts. Faith works by our…
