We, who have put our faith in The LORD Jesus Christ, have said, “Yes!”, to the perfect love of GOD, The Father, and have been delivered from fear. Fear comes from participating with the spirit of the world. (Participating = agreeing, aligning or partnering with it in some way.)… “For you

The great and wonderful significance of The Last Supper and The First Communion is not only found in the covenant meal that it represents, but in the actual words of Jesus. “This is my blood of the new covenant shed for the remission of sins.” It is an ending and

Seeking Jesus First Faith is a gift from God. If someone gave you $100,000, what would you do with it? Spend it. If someone gave you your dream house? Live in it. Your dream car? Drive it. The fact that it is a gift makes it yours. It is

Jesus gave us may “game-changers” in the sermon on the mount. He preached to a multitude of regular people about how they can walk in the blessing of God. When Jesus said, “Blessed are…”, He was telling them, and us, how to manifest God’s will in our lives.

Is there a recipe for hearing God? Clearly, hearing God is about an open and honest relationship. With that being the foundation, one must be willing to listen on purpose and then to respond. A hearing ear is made possible by believing that He is and that He loves us.

One who believes in the resurrected Christ has a tremendous hope. We have put our faith in the son of the living God who loves us enough to become our sin and die on a cross. But He didn’t stop there. Our Father raised Jesus from the dead.

A friend and fellow minister said this to the congregation the other day: “Believing = Be living in”. What we believe is expressed by our living. Faith without corresponding action is dead. When we are believing in God and His word, we are living in it. We believe in the reality

God has given His word to all who will receive it. He is no respecter of personage. His work and His promise are available to the rich and the poor alike. He makes no distinction between educated or uneducated. God gives no preference to anyone based upon social status or

The word of God, every word that proceeds forth from the mouth of God, is life to us. We love the word of God. One major role the word plays in our understanding is to help us to discern between soul and spirit. Without the foundational truths of God’s

Pray and intercede for others. Do this especially for those who seem to be having similar situations to your own. One form of intercession is putting yourself in the place of someone else and praying for them as if it were yourself. Pray the promise for them. Pray in the
