#025: God Habits for Believers in Jesus [Podcast]

by

Years ago when the western U.S. was being settled, roads were often just wagon tracks. (The wagon wheels would just carve out a rut in the road.) These rough trails or ruts posed serious problems for those who journeyed on them. On one of these winding paths was posted a sign which read: “Avoid this rut or you’ll be in it for the next 25 miles!” You can go to sleep in the wagon and not worry about getting off course because the only place you are going is wherever the ‘rut’ is. This picture is what a habit is like. A habit is something you can do without thinking. But habits always takes you someplace. As a believer in Jesus, there are good God habits that we can acquire.

Are You Flowing in God Given Authority?

by

Last words are important. They bear weight with generations of men. Frank Sinatra died after saying, “I’m losing it.” Blues singer Bessie Smith died saying, “I’m going, but I’m going in the name of the Lord” 1. Jesus last words are crafted around the subject of authority. These words, found in Matthew 28:18, begin with, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore…

Three Things Jesus Did that You Can Do

by

Jesus was not a wayside philosopher. He did not sit around and debate the state of the world. He didn’t engage in political banter for the sake of it. He wasn’t a baby kisser pining for office. Jesus was a doer. The tsunami impact of His life branded the world. How did He do it? He moved in God’s timing. He flowed with the Spirits direction. He left every disciple a reproducible model. What Jesus did you can do. How do we know? He told us so.

#021: Which of Jesus Stripes Healed You? [Podcast]

by

People are often impressed with heroes and martyrs. – Remember Nathan Hale – who said “I only have one life to live for my country.’  We appreciate the liberty and freedom that we have because of the sacrifice of others. What about the sacrifice of Jesus? Do you appreciate His death on your behalf? Do you appreciate all that His death provided for you? We can rejoice and thank God because we were saved by His blood. But you can also rejoice that not only did Jesus save you from your sins but He also provided healing for your body at the same time.

#020: What Happens When You Encounter Jesus? [Podcast]

by

In 1Jn 1:1-3, John testifies to his encounter with Jesus. John’s testimony is a simple one. Jesus is not an illusion – ‘we saw Him’. He is not a figment of our imagination, – ‘we touched Him’. He is not a fairy tale – ‘we heard Him’. If you believe in Him, your testimony can parallel John’s. By faith, you can see Him. By faith, you can touch Him. By faith, you can hear Him. By faith, you can encounter Him.

So, You Want to Be An Elder in Jesus?

by

There have always been two age groups that have brought a great amount of joy and cheer to my life, children and the elderly. The post today is about the latter. There is something about growing older in Jesus that absolutely gets me excited. There is something about getting closer to heaven that just thrills my heart. Aging in Him is a good God thing. It sure beats the alternative.

The Jesus Guide to Forgiveness

by

Forgiveness is a huge issue in the Bible. Jesus alluded to it’s importance on several occasions. He told us that not operating in forgiveness, that is harboring things against people, holding people’s past sins against them will hinder our own faith. One of Jesus most memorable parables is the ’70×7′ parable. Let’s take a look at this subject of forgiveness and getting past the bitterness of offense in our everyday life. We want to demonstrate that forgiveness is not a mechanical formula but is a ‘from the heart lifestyle attitude’ to be exercised without limits.
