Do you think of yourself as spiritually mature? How does one know if he is spiritually mature? What does that even mean? Should I stop attending church if I am spiritually mature? Do I need a Christian leader, pastor or teacher to know me and speak into my life anymore?

Apostle Paul admonishes the disciples of Christ to “stand fast” or to “hold fast”. It simply means to remain firmly persuaded about what he taught them and to stand firm in their beliefs and conversation. “Conversation” is your manner of speech and way of living…

What does it mean to be firmly persuaded? “Firmly persuaded” is the definition of the Greek word for faith, pistis.  When a person is firmly persuaded of a truth, they will speak of it. When a person is firmly persuaded of a course of action, they will act.

Spiritual gifts and ministrations are all the result of The LORD Jesus Christ and Holy Spirit working in us. If you ask The Heavenly Father for His Holy Spirit, what will He give you? (See Luke 11:11-13) God The Father will give you His Holy Spirit.

Everything about salvation by grace through faith is beautiful, wonderful and awe inspiring. Probably, one of the most exciting things about faith in Christ Jesus is the promise of adoption as children of God. In this promise, we see God’s original intent for humanity…

Dear believers in Christ Jesus, It is important to let Holy Spirit use God’s Word to teach us. (Duh!?!? Right?!) Well, we really must learn to honor God’s Word above opinions and feelings. Let’s look at salvation “by grace through faith”.

If people seek knowledge without seeking God, their Godless interpretations of right and wrong will inevitably lead to destruction of self and others.

Be courageous. Apostle Paul was being taken by ship to Rome to make his appeal to Caesar. On the way, a great storm, like a hurricane, came and threatened to destroy the ship and all of the people on it. Take a look at what Paul told the people on

Surprise! God is speaking to me about faith this morning. God does what God is. God is love. God cannot hate you. God is truth. God cannot lie to you. God is good. God cannot do evil to you or tempt you with evil. God is faithful to Himself and

What is the only requirement to receive a gift from God? Faith. Faith itself is a gift from God and must be received by faith. That sounds “funny”. Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God. God has given to each the measure of faith…

When the prophet Isaiah rebuked Israel in chapter 59, he said that no one is calling for justice or pleading for truth. “He loves righteousness and justice; The earth is full of the goodness of the Lord.” (Psalm 33:5, NKJV) Let us pray that the wicked will be removed

One major difference between the old and new covenant is the priesthood. Jesus became the highest priest of the new covenant. And wonder of wonders, He made all who believe in Him into priests of His new covenant. There is no longer just one tribe who serves, one family to

There is a three letter word in The New Testament of The Holy Bible that has huge implications. That word is “LET”. “LET” means to permit or deny, to allow or hinder. “LET” is a lockable gate on a hinge that swings both ways. There is a gatekeeper who keeps

As I have previously stated, part of my core message is the good news that God, as “Our Father”, is more interested in partnering with us than doing for us. He is raising fully mature sons and daughters in the image of Christ Jesus and Himself. My focus tends to
