The first thing we need to understand is how inadequate we are, even with our desire to be free. As long as it is you trying in your own power, you will fail. Thats what the problem with the Law was. The Law is good, but it never had the power to change people. It only reminded us how weak we...

What reason do we have for not sharing our testimony? It is a common theme among Christians that they have a hard time sharing the gospel because of: Fear Ignorance Uncertainty Untrained Fear We like to yell amen when the preacher asks: Who has the joy of the LORD today? We love the feels of...

So I hear this a lot and still ask it from time to time myself: How can I live more completely by the Spirit? Romans 8:5 Those who have their minds set on the flesh are controlled by the flesh, but the mind set on the Spirit, is controlled by the Spirit. So we see the only way to live a...

Psalms 18:1 I love you, oh LORD, my strength! How does one cultivate intimacy with the Creator, the Redeemer, the Sustainer? It is really simple if we think about it. How does anyone cultivate intimacy with someone on earth? Spending time with them Talking with them Getting to know them Not...

A large crowd followed and pressed around him. 25And a woman was there who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years. 26She had suffered a great deal under the care of many doctors and had spent all she had, yet instead of getting better she grew worse. 27When she heard about Jesus, she came...

In 2 Chronicles 20 we have a tremendous story that I have never heard a message preached on (though I myself have brought a message from a "sister passage" of Exodus 14): I pray the Word of God is taught here in such a way that brings edification to the saints. 2 Chronicles 20:1-22 After...

John 15:12, (NIV) “My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you.” How many times are we guilty of “getting even” with those in our fellowship? When they are the ones that we should “honor above ourselves”? (Romans 12:9-21) We should all pursue and promote love within the church...

2 Timothy 1:6-7 (NIV), "For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands. For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline." We all know the qualities of fire. We know that fire is...

1 Corinthians 1:16-28, "26 Brothers and sisters, think of what you were when you were called. Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth. 27 But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things...

The Baptism in the Holy Spirit (quick, down, and dirty): Ok so I figure since I'm trying to become a minister in the Assemblies of God I should try to explain this in hopes of helping others receive. Feel free to comment on this, but if you disagree let's keep our discussion civil and...

1 Timothy 6:12, "Fight the good fight of faith." I preached on this not to long ago and feel led to give a brief summation here. Child of God, do not give in to that old lying devil any longer! Take up your armor EVERYDAY and stand strong in the Grace and Power of the Lords might! Ephesians...

John 15:12, (NIV) “My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you.” How many times are we guilty of “getting even” with those in our fellowship? When they are the ones that we should “honor above ourselves”? (Romans 12:9-21) We should all pursue and promote love within the church...

Romans 5:8 (NLT), "But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners." Wow, God showed how much He loved you by sending Jesus to die for you while you were still in sin! He didn't wait for you to be good enough or to be holy enough, He loved you...
