Receiving Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior is a major event. It is the first step in your Christian life. In Ephesians 2:1-8, the Apostle tells us that we who were dead in our trespasses and sins, have been made alive within Christ and it is all because of God’s grace, which we don’t […]

“God Dwelling Among Us”
From the beginning of time, God met with His people and interacted and communicated with them. There came a time when God revealed to His people, He wanted to dwell among them. In Exodus 25:8 the LORD told Moses to have the children of Israel bring Him an offering for the building of the tabernacle […]
“The Fruit of the Spirit” Part II
(A) Last week we looked at the first cluster of fruit that the Holy Spirit wants to produce in our lives — Love, Joy, and Peace. From these foundational fruits, we see the next cluster. (B) The second cluster of fruits produced by the Holy Spirit … Longsuffering, Kindness, and Goodness. Galatians 5:22 1. Longsuffering – […]
“The Fruit of the Spirit’’ Part I
The Apostle Paul, in Ephesians 5:18, wrote, “Do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit.” It is wonderful to be “born of the Holy Spirit” at our conversion. At this point, the Holy Spirit comes into our lives and the Bible says our bodies become the “temples […]

“Behold — The Lamb of God!”

“Our God is Holy!”

It reads like this – “Great and marvelous are Your works, Lord God, the Almighty; righteous and true are Your ways, King of the nations! Who will not fear You, Lord, and glorify Your name? For You alone are […]
“Wait!”
Are you ever or always in a hurry? Would you say your life is characterized by rushing? Perhaps you are like the guy who was always impatient. He knew that wasn’t a good trait so he prayed to the LORD and said, “LORD, I want more patience, and I want it right now!” Many people find it […]
“Consecrated To Christ”
I have an old Webster’s Dictionary and it defines the word ‘consecrate’ as follows: to set apart as sacred. Another word I like is the word ‘capitulate’ which Webster defines as “to surrender on conditions agreed upon”. Many years ago, we had a very intelligent lawyer attending our church. I had talked to him on […]
“Giving Our All to Christ”
Someone once said, “He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep, to gain what he cannot lose.” In Matthew 16:24-26, Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose […]
