The resurrection life – audio sermon
Jesus Christ said He is the resurrection and the life, and the spiritual reality of the “resurrection life” is to be a dynamic, powerful phenomenon enabling the Christian. This message, given Easter Sunday, is not about the usual lighter side of the historical fact of Jesus Christ’s resurrection but speaks of the power the that early Christians knew in experience, and how that promise remains for us today. It is about life – for those who know that their “old man” is “crucified” with Christ, and how this is God’s solution for the sin nature in humans, as well as the basis for a living relationship, becoming truly spiritual, and…

The church of Jesus Christ and His will for us all – audio
This started as a study of Ephesians 3, but became more about the church and what God wants – a bride read for Himself and individuals who know Christ in them! Things got off to a slow start with several interruptions in the first half hour but the cadence gets better and more productive although random discussion ensues. Discussions of the Spirit-led life called for a variety of scriptural references and lively talk. Lord bless you!

Though much more could be said, the Christian faith which is now splintered into so many sects that cannot agree on what the Bible exactly teaches on various hot-button issues is supposed to be lived in, and taught by Immanuel.

Jesus said ‘come to Me’ as little children – audio sermon
The gospels record several instances in which Jesus Christ told His followers to “come to Me” – with the implication being that they also stay with Him – as little children. The relationship of abiding in the Lord is first spiritual, from the inward depths of a person. Shallow or false religiosity may go a long way in duplicating the outward appearance of a Christian life, but God who deals with our spirits by His Spirit is satisfied by nothing less than authentic spirit-to-Spirit relationship. His goal is to restore us to Himself, in love, and by so doing create a testimony and witness that cannot be falsified by the…
