Believing God’s Word 
on June 30th, 2023
For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. (Hebrews 4:12)  Many people are searching for the will of God. Not only do they want to know the will of God, but they want to stay in His will. Consequently, when someone asks me how they can find God’s ...  Read More

Go All in for Christ
on June 28th, 2023
Because you are lukewarm, neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth. (Revelation 3:16)  It saddens me that many believers just sit back and say, “I like the information.” They just sit there like bumps on a log. They hear the Word of God, and they identify themselves as disciples of Christ. They don't apply the Word of God to their lives. They live just like the Laodicean Church. The L...  Read More

Aligning with Christ
on June 24th, 2023
Again Jesus said, “Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending you.” (John 20:21)    Appearing behind locked doors, Jesus shows His scars to the disciples. Before He does, He speaks to calm their fears, and give them a holy directive. Two different times, He says, “Peace be with you!” Think of that for a moment. We must be calm and at peace before we can align with His purpose. When...  Read More

When God Repeats Himself
on June 22nd, 2023
My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. (John 10:27)  As a pastor, I sometimes repeat myself when I’m preaching. In good communications, you tell people the truth, then you remind them of what you told them, and finally, you tell them again, in case they forgot. Repetition is key if you want to remember something. You need to expose yourself to the information over and over ag...  Read More

Every Knee Will Bow

At the name of Jesus, every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. (Philippians 2:10-11)  Scripture is very clear that a day will come when every single person on this planet will bow down to Jesus and declare that He is Lord over everything.

Be Different
on June 19th, 2023
Therefore, since Christ suffered in his body, arm yourselves also with the same attitude, because whoever suffers in the body is done with sin. As a result, they do not live the rest of their earthly lives for evil human desires, but rather for the will of God. (1 Peter 4:1-2)As believers, our lives should be different from everyone else who is not a believer. Your life, because Jesus has saved yo...  Read More
