Bible Study: 1 Corinthians 1:1-2 – Audio
This is a recording from a Bible study Friday May 12, 2017 on lessons learned from the first two chapters of First Corinthians. Far from being an irrelevant old letter to people far removed in time and culture, this epistle written somewhere in the mid 50s A.D. is extremely applicable to us today. Whole books have been written analyzing First Corinthians, but a few takeaway messages include that it is possible to be a genuine Christian, even manifesting miracles and gifts of the Holy Spirit, and yet still be “carnal” – and not “spiritual” (1 Cor 3). The Apostle Paul had planted the Corinthian church and he was appealing to…

Prayer and self-deliverance (pt2) – Sunday May 7, 2017
This is an audio recording from a Sunday morning message at a house church. It builds on last week’s message on consecration and prayer. It includes personal testimonial and life experience in seeking God. Any Christian who wants all of God has great and powerful tools given in this “better covenant with better promises.” God is love, and He wants us to personally know Him. Christianity was never meant to be anything less than a restoration of a broken relationship between the Holy God and His fallen creation, man. We who are the blood-bought and who want no substitutes for real Christianity, are called to align our wills with God…

Romans 7 Bible Study – Audio – May 5, 2017
This is a recorded Bible study centering on Romans 7 with context given from Romand 6 and the beginning of 8. Some people have questioned whether Romans 7 was speaking of a regenerated Christian experience, or the struggles of an Old Testament Jew – which Paul had been prior to his conversion. It is most definitely about a Christian experience and can be summed as being about a Christian’s deliverance from the law. Christians are commonly taught we are “not under law, but under grace,” and it is in Romans 6 and 7 that Paul under the Holy Spirit’s inspiration explains we died to the law when we were crucified…

Sunday Message: The New Creation – April 16, 2017
This is a message given at a house church on the new creation. Wrapped up in this discussion of things new are the the new covenant, the new man in Christ, and how God is dealing with the new creation as Jesus on the cross judged the old creation in Adam. This is extremely relevant to anyone serious about following Jesus Christ as it speaks of God’s eternal perspective for us as Christians. Christians are opposed by the world, the flesh, and the devil which although judged with the old creation by Jesus on the cross, are yet in place until the Lord returns. Our challenge is to see this,…

Subjecting One’s Spiritual Leading to the Light
Do you hear from God? The scriptures in John 10 do indeed say “My sheep hear my voice,” so this is a promise, but we must all take care. The only 100-percent validated words of God we have are the inspired scriptures. These were written by “holy men of old” under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. While they have been under attack for the last 2,000 years since the Lord Jesus Christ was raised from the dead, what has been passed along has been vetted. Jesus even said His words were eternal. Mt 24:35 – Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass…
