God always wins. Victory is already complete. We, as heirs and joint heirs with Jesus join in and enjoy this victory. This is because God is the God of all power and He gave to us this power. This power is revealed in the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It's the gospel of grace. Paul describes … Continue reading Not Words, But Power
Revival – What Is It?
What about this thing called “Revival”. We have revival meetings. We talk about revival, but many people do not enter into revival. We think if we all get together somewhere and say we're going to have revival, that somehow magically a great revival will occur. Guess again. Revival cannot begin in the church, in a … Continue reading Revival – What Is It?
Power and Glory
What is Power? Everyone wants power in some form or another. The problem is not everyone can manage the power they are given. Having power demands the authority to exercise that power. Exercising power properly demands accountability. There are many who have power, but are using it to destroy rather than to rebuild, restore or … Continue reading Power and Glory
Death or Life Ministry
The law is a ministry of death. What do I mean by that? Keeping man-made rules is a ministry of death. Following rules and established programs is a ministry of death. Following the traditions of men is a ministry of death. It’s also a ministry of condemnation. Now I didn't come up with this on … Continue reading Death or Life Ministry
Bible, Word, or Gospel
You can be a bible preacher, a word preacher and not be a gospel preacher. There's a huge difference between preaching the word or the bible and preaching the gospel. Here's an example. I'm paraphrasing here. Matthew 27:5 says Judas hanged himself. In Luke 10:37 Jesus says go and do likewise. Now both of those … Continue reading Bible, Word, or Gospel
Walking in the Truth
What’s driving you? That may seem like a strange question, but if you really take it seriously and ask yourself that question, you may discover some undesired answers. God gave every believer the power and authority to proclaim what He has already accomplished. Yet many continue to keep begging Him to do what He’s already … Continue reading Walking in the Truth
Grace Killers – Part 2
Continuing with Part 2 of this powerful message of grace, and the effects of the grace killers. If you remember, we left off in verse 13 stating it is good to have people around you that have the ability to reason. Putting aside your pride and humbling yourself will avail you to the powerful grace … Continue reading Grace Killers – Part 2
Grace Killers – Part 1
I preached a message years ago about this man, this great warrior, this great commander of the army named Naaman. I titled the message “But He Was a Leper”. As I was studying this story again, I saw a whole new revelation of the truth that is displayed and it's application for the “church” today. … Continue reading Grace Killers – Part 1
The Much More Increase
I'm certain all of us have met people who get stuck in life. Seems there are times when there appears to be no progress or increase in their lives at all. They simply are existing from day to day. Some even grow worse. That is not what God wants for any of us. God's plan … Continue reading The Much More Increase
Paul’s Thorn
Now here is a topic that doesn't get a lot of attention unless a religious or legalistic preacher wants to make a point about God causing someone to be sick and then not healing them. How ridiculous. I apologize up front for the length of this teaching. I thought about putting it in two parts, … Continue reading Paul’s Thorn
