I am starting a new series of blog posts today about how not to fall off the bridge. We are walking along a narrow path according to Jesus, and there are many people who have fallen off the bridge of faith and shipwrecked their faith. One of the reasons that people fall off the bridgeContinue reading “Don’t Fall Off the Bridge 01 Put First Things First”

Something that happens far too often to me as a pastor is something that is not going to help anyone walk in victory and actually hold you back. The story goes something like this (names have been changed to protect the innocent): Jimmy wakes up Monday morning unwell, he has several symptoms that concern himContinue reading “The Doctor’s Report!”

To understand the return of Jesus Christ, you have to start in the Old Testament, specifically the 70 “weeks” – each seven years long, a week of years so to speak – that Daniel was told about prophetically. The entire great tribulation and every prophetic word in the Old and New Testament about this finalContinue reading “Jesus Christ is Coming Back 01: Daniel Had 70 Weeks”

One of the differences between living a religious life, a life under law, and living under grace is under grace sin no longer has dominion over you (Romans 6.14). You see when you live under the law, the law is the strength of sin (1 Cor. 15.56) and the law wakes up sinful desires (RomansContinue reading “A Lifestyle of Grace 04 Saying No to Sin”

We started this series looking at what grace was, then we looked at the powerful truth that living by grace means you win in life. Now we understand grace and how it makes us reign, we can also find out that it makes us fruitful too! The law will never ever make you fruitful. ButContinue reading “A Lifestyle of Grace 03: The Fruitfulness of Grace”

In our last post, we looked at what grace was, and realized it means God’s unconditional love and acceptance. Now we need to dig a little deeper and realize what it means to live in the light of God’s grace to us. The first thing that God’s grace means to us is that we ruleContinue reading “A Lifestyle of Grace 02: Ruling Through Grace”

One of my passions is that grace must not just be a doctrine we teach, it must be the way we live. I have a real concern that people are more concerned with dotting the “i”s and crossing the “t”s of grace teaching correctly that they do not know how to be gracious. If youContinue reading “A Lifestyle of Grace 01: Getting Grace Right”

13 When Joshua was near the town of Jericho, he looked up and saw a man standing in front of him with sword in hand. Joshua went up to him and demanded, “Are you friend or foe?” 14 “Neither one,” he replied. “I am the commander of the Lord’s army.” At this, Joshua fell with his face toContinue reading “The Commander of the Lord’s Army”

In the book of Deuteronomy, prophesying the coming Messiah, the Lord speaks to Moses and says the Messiah will actually be someone like Moses: 15 Moses continued, “The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your fellow Israelites. You must listen to him. (Deut. 18.15) That’s a remarkable thing to say: JesusContinue reading “Moses, A Prophet Like Jesus”

Count the cost. But don’t begin until you count the cost. For who would begin construction of a building without first calculating the cost to see if there is enough money to finish it? (Luke 14.28, NLT)
