One of the saddest stories in the Bible is the story of Tamar, it is found in 2 Samuel 13. Amnon, Tamar’s half-brother rapes his sister. This sexual act has ramifications that hurt people that I think Amnon could not have expected. Their brother was hurt, David was hurt, the relationship was destroyed, the nationContinue reading “Don’t Fall off the Bridge 06: The Emotional Pain of Fornication”

Last week, we looked at one of the most common ways people fall off the bridge to their destiny and miss out on what God has for them – fornication. You can read that post here. Now we will look at another issue about fornication that stops people getting to their destiny – fornication joinsContinue reading “Don’t Fall off the Bridge 05: Don’t Make A Deal That You Cannot Live With”

The Bible says some things very strongly. It says that fornication should “let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints” (Ephesians 5.3). Fornication means to have sex before you are married. If you are married, and have sex with someone you are not married to, that is called adultery. A lot ofContinue reading “Don’t Fall Off the Bridge 04 Fornication”

There is a story Jesus told, and it goes like this: 15 When they heard this, one of the dinner guests said to Jesus, “Someday God will have a kingdom feast, and how happy and privileged will be the ones who get to share in that joy!” 16 Jesus replied with this parable: “A man invited manyContinue reading “Don’t Fall Off the Bridge 03 A Sense of Urgency”

The Bible is so clear and powerful and explicit on what should go first in our life. Seek first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness and all these things shall be added to you (Matthew 6.33). The first thing in your life should be God and His kingdom. If you want to have aContinue reading “Don’t Fall Off the Bridge 02 Put the Kingdom First”

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”
