Happy Mother’s Day! From what I’ve observed in my last 18 years of being a dad, I’ve noticed that being a mother is no easy task.  Something always amazes me about our children.  Our kids were born just about as close to one another as they can be.  They were raised together going through all of the same seasons of life together from learning how to crawl, walk, talk, potty-train, elementary, high school, and now moving into adulthood.  They had…

Before we continue into today’s message, I’d like to clarify something from last week’s message. I had taught that like Jesus, we have a soma (physical body) and psyche (soul consisting of our mind, will, emotions, personality, intellect, and conscience).  I mentioned that I was still studying it, but hadn’t found any evidence yet that Jesus was born with a sarx (flesh, which I defined as our sinful nature), but only with the pneuma (spirit). Well, I’m not sure if…

The past few weeks, God’s been helping us to better understand and work through the in-between season of God’s promise and fulfillment.  The good news is that the God in whom we trust was not only there when He promised, but He’s also walking with us now.  The even better news is that He has also gone ahead of us and knows exactly how and when our breakthrough is coming! He is eternal and when He spoke His promises, He…

Last week, we learned about the in-between where our faith is put to the test.  It is in that place where our faith can grow and be proven genuine.  It is that certain faith which emboldens us with the courage to praise God for the coming outpouring of His promises fulfilled right in front of the very enemies standing in our way. Jesus’ disciples found themselves in that place.  They left everything to follow Him and now He was crucified,…

Last week, we celebrated the resurrection of Jesus!  As He declared, “It is finished!”.  The penalty of all sin ‭‭has been paid in full!  The Old Covenant has been fulfilled; not abolished, not pushed aside, not abandoned, but fulfilled!  The foreshadowing is a shadow no longer as the light of Christ has fully illuminated it!  In Christ is the fullness of our salvation! The disciples found themselves in an awkward place, though.  Jesus said, “It is finished!”, but the disciples…

Good Friday was a dark day, indeed…  Jesus, sinless, innocent, God-in-the-flesh, scourged and then nailed to a cross.  Even His death sentence proclaimed truth about Him! Matthew 27:37-65 37 Above his head they placed the written charge against him: this is jesus, the king of the jews. 38 Two rebels were crucified with him, one on his right and one on his left. 39 Those who passed by hurled insults at him, shaking their heads 40 and saying, “You who…
