John 6:29 “Jesus answered, “The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent.” The Law of Moses didn’t save anybody. Paul tells us that the law was given so that we might recognize sin for what it is: falling short of what God requires. But many people of Jesus’ day put theirContinue reading “Works Aren’t the Way”

World Conquerors
1 John 5:4-5 (MSG) “Every God-begotten person conquers the world’s ways. The conquering power that brings the world to its knees is our faith. The person who wins out over the world’s ways is simply the one who believes Jesus is the Son of God.“ Do you think of your faith as a spiritual weapon?Continue reading “World Conquerors”
And…..Action!
James 2:17 “In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.” Talk is cheap. It’s a phrase we’ve all heard before. Or how about: Put your money where your mouth is. It’s easy to claim to believe something. After all, if all you’re doing is claiming to believe,Continue reading “And…..Action!”
What is Faith?
Hebrews 11:1 (AMPC) “Now faith is the assurance (the confirmation, the title deed) of the things [we] hope for, being the proof of things [we] do not see and the conviction of their reality [faith perceiving as real fact what is not revealed to the senses].“ Sometimes figuring out what faith is and how it works isContinue reading “What is Faith?”
An End to Differences
Galatians 5:6 (TPT) “When you’re placed into the Anointed One and joined to him, circumcision and religious obligations can benefit you nothing. All that matters now is living in the faith that is activated and brought to perfection by love.” The early church was made up of Jews and Gentiles. The Jews, being the chosenContinue reading “An End to Differences”
Confession Unto Faith
We know the words that we speak have power. We usually think of this power in terms of the ability to hurt or to heal. We think about the saying “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” We’ve all heard the saying. We may have even repeated it ourselves,Continue reading “Confession Unto Faith”
The Power of Hearing
Romans 10:17 “Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ.” Paul has been talking about his desire for the nation of Israel to be saved. He says basically that Israel is zealous for God but that their zeal is not based on knowledge. They don’t know GodContinue reading “The Power of Hearing”
Going Deeper With God
The Christian life is supposed to be a transformed life. If no one can see a difference in your life from before you were saved to after you were saved, there’s a problem. When we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior, we are made new. We’re supposed to consider ourselves dead to sin andContinue reading “Going Deeper With God”
Gratefulness
Luke 17:11-19 “Now on his way to Jerusalem, Jesus traveled along the border between Samaria and Galilee. As he was going into a village, ten men who had leprosy met him. They stood at a distance and called out in a loud voice, “Jesus, Master, have pity on us!” When he saw them, he said, “Go, show yourselves toContinue reading “Gratefulness”
God’s Power Is In You
How often are you asking God to do something for you? How often are you asking for more faith? How often are you asking for God to move? What if I told you that God’s part to the equation of your life has already been done? Ephesians 1:3 says, “Blessed be the God and FatherContinue reading “God’s Power Is In You”
