Root and Fruit
One of the great deceptions in the church is how Satan has convinced us that we are forgiven, but we still have the nature of Adam, and that we are always going to be slaves to sin and its effects. Just a sinner, saved by grace. Satan has convinced us that both sin and righteousness are behaviors only, the fruit of our lives. Biblically speaking, both words also describe our nature or the root of our beings. Let me explain.…
Free Indeed
Today I want to talk about how God intended for us to experience true freedom. In a synagogue in the city of Nazareth Jesus unveiled his mission statement. “The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, Because He has anointed Me To preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives And recovery of sight to the blind, To set at liberty those who are oppressed; To proclaim the…
Messengers of Reconciliation
Every born-again Christian has a ministry, it is the ministry of reconciliation.2 Corinthians 5:18 Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation. Today I want to explain some amazing truths about reconciliation. Before I do we have to start by understanding the true nature of God. In 1 John 4:8 God declares that he IS love, he is not talking about how he feels or…
Eternal Life: A Present Tense Reality or a Future Hope?
One of the most famous Bible verses in the world and the one that is usually used to present the gospel is…. For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

What Have You Done for Me Lately?
We live in a culture where love is based on feelings, it is conditional, based on your current performance. I love you when….you look good, make good money, take care of my needs. The problem is when you don’t look your best, we have financial problems or we feel like our needs aren’t being met our relationship comes into question. If we are not careful we will think that God’s love is just like ours and he loves us when…
According to Your Word
“Then Mary said, “Behold the maidservant of the Lord! Let it be to me according to your word.” And the angel departed from her.” Luke 1:38 NKJV “Then Mary said, “Behold the maidservant of the Lord! Let it be to me according to your word.” And the angel departed from her.” Luke 1:38 NKJV The Christian faith is founded on the truth that God loved us so much that he sent a sinless sacrifice to be our substitute, that on…
Jesus or Job?
Here is a question that every Christian needs to answer for themselves. Is your view of God’s nature based on the theology of Jesus or Job? Job said: Job 2:1-2 “Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan came also among them to present himself before the Lord. 2 And the Lord said to Satan, “From where do you come?” Satan answered the Lord and said, “From going to…
