Most of us are aware of these words of Jesus, "If you love me then you will keep my commandments" (John 14:15). But how? Some might suggest obedience like a soldier (out of duty), or a child (out of fear), or through accountability, or penance, or to demonstrate love. But what if we still desire to sin? What if that battle for our behavior still rages? God knows that we are weak and vulnerable. God never asks us to do something without providing all the resources and power for us to be successful. With obedience, he provides the Holy Spirit to transform our heart. As we are sanctified, we obey because that's what we've become.…

God has been speaking to humanity since he first created us, and he typically does this through prophecy. But, we know from Scripture that there can be false prophecy, so how can we know what is truth and what is myth? How can we know who is a prophet and who is not?
Prayer is one of the most common activities of Christianity, and yet so many still have questions about it. How do I do it? Why is her prayer answered, and mine is not? Do I need to use "amen" or "in Jesus name" at the end? I am going to answer five of the most common questions that people ask me regarding prayer, and in so doing hopefully drive home an important point - prayer is always easy, but it is essential.…

The effective communication of the Gospel out into the world is widely understood to be the central purpose of the Church. But how? Too often, we see this merely as proclaiming the Gospel using words, brochures, websites, etc. We dust off our hands, and feel that we've done our duty - successful with evangelism. As I read through Scripture, I see that the Gospel is communicated by much more than mere words. The words are important, but they are effectively delivered only when combined with power and through lives that radiate God's love, joy, hope, and truth - those who are living a different life.…

The Occult describes activities that attempt to connect with hidden spirit forces, either to gain knowledge or to access power. You may be familiar with some practices of the occult, such as witchcraft, palm reading, astrology, fortune telling, and seances. But there are also modern occult practices that masquerade as goodness, are not so easy to identify, but still have the same core pursuits of the “hidden”.…

The topic of Spiritual Warfare gets a lot of attention in some corners of Christianity, with teachings that are sometimes more speculative and sensationalized, than biblical. In other corners of Christianity, the topic of Spiritual Warfare is rarely touched upon, and this negligence plays right into the hands of demonic activity. To introduce the arena of Spiritual Warfare, this message covers five points from Scripture: (1) we must be attentive to spiritual attacks, (2) demons are real, (3) Christians cannot be possessed, but are nonetheless vulnerable, (4) these spiritual attacks are deceptive, and (5) we counter these attacks with spiritual weapons and a defensive posture.

Our integrity as a follower of Jesus is to be steadfast, to trust, and to remain committed even in tough times. This is the essence of the word "amen". But, we live in a hedonistic culture that struggles to remain committed. We are more interested in an easy way out than finding the way through. If you are serious about being a Christian, you need to practice "amen" and not just say it at the end of a prayer. Audio and Message Transcript: [Click]…

God is ultimately concerned about the condition of our heart, and out of the heart flows actions consistent with the state of one's heart. But not only actions, for our words also tattle on the condition of the heart.

The common way that anyone views people is from their external appearance and status, and we treat them and relate to them based on this judgment. But, with the Holy Spirit dwelling in us, our approach to people is mercy rather than judgment. Judgment is free. Mercy is costly. Audio and Message Transcript: [Click]…

Our religious activity can sometimes neglect doing core things that Jesus told us to do, sometimes substituting easier ideas, or watering down the intensity of something Jesus told us, or cherry-picking what we want to follow and ignore. This message contains a pivotal scripture that should cause you to wonder, "Am I following Jesus ... or something else?" Audio and Message Transcript: [Click]…

The first chapter of James opens with trials - particularly trials of sin and temptation - that you and every Christian faces. God has wisdom to lead you through the trial, and he wants you to keep facing the trial, keep persevering, and keep adjusting until you discover and embrace His wisdom. This success is pure joy!

When we raise children, we are doing our best to help them become a cooperative and productive member of society, and to interact with our society in such a way that they remain healthy. To raise a child requires more than instruction, for they also need sufficient experience and mentoring to help them live out those instructions. When it comes to spiritual teachings, however, it seems that we may be satisfied with simply telling stories from the Bible of how God interacted with a people thousands of years ago. If God becomes only a story, then we'll forget him just like Israel did after the entered the Promised Land. So, we need to pursue engaging with God afresh in our current generation, so that we experience our own stories. Audio and Message Summary: [Click]…
