Remember, as things continue to shake around the globe … the devil wants you to *ABORT* the life of His Spirit growing in you.  

He’s in you. His gift of life sits in you. 

Peeps. His spirit dwells…

Peeps. The only way to be free FROM sin is to be free TO sin. You got it. If you don’t have a choice, you aren’t really free.  

You died. Sin doesn’t have a hold on you, and the…

For those who haven’t yet seen Top Gun - go, it’s amazing. 

I tend to spiritualize everything, but there’s one scene in the movie that I think is critical for the church today. 

Maverick shows up the first…

If the rapture is your escape plan, let’s see what Jesus says, 

“I do NOT ask that you take them out of the world, but that you KEEP them from the evil one. 16 They are not of the…

Remember. Peter, the rock who the entire church was built upon said, 

“For it is time for judgment to begin at the household of God; and if it begins with us, what will be the outcome for those who…

Folks, you aren’t a cup filled with water. You are the main sail on a sailboat.  

Cups are stagnant, and non moving.  

Sails wait patiently for the wind.  
Sails learn the ways of the wind.  
Sails romance and…

The newly recruited disciples turn to Jesus and say, “so, where are you staying?” And Jesus says to them, “come and you will see.” 

Folks. That word “staying” is menō or to abide. Yep. Jesus literally told the disciples…

Very few things are as powerful as declaring the blood of Jesus when praying OUT LOUD. 

• The blood reminds the devil of his defeat. 
• The blood reminds sickness who is Boss. 
• The blood reminds circumstance to bow. 
• The blood…

Abram was unconditionally promised descendents that are as vast as grains of sand on the beach or the number of stars in heaven. In fact, Abram was promised that through him all the nations on earth would be blessed.

Every miracle Jesus did.  
Every person healed.  
Every demon cast out.  
Every resurrection encounter.  
Every life touched.  
Every disciple recruited and grown.  
Every sermon taught.  
Every ministerial moment.  
Every insult received.  
Every tear shed.  
Every betrayal weathered.  
Every temptation withstood.  …

What if everything we thought we knew about our spiritual inheritance, the riches of Christ, the glory of God, and what’s rightfully ours was turned completely upside down? 

We spend so much time learning, reading, chasing other people’s teachings…

A few weeks ago I had a dream where I saw people getting saved and a military plane fly overhead. It dropped a hydrogen bomb marked NUMBER 6 (man, world) into the ocean. 

No, this isn't WW3 - it's…

When the Israelites left Egypt, The Lord took them KNOWINGLY on a much longer route that was blocked off by the Red Sea. Instead of the shorter route where they'd have freaked out over wars with the Philistines ... they…

Imagine Moses and the masses at the Red Sea. Backs to the wall. Enemy army advancing. Everyone whining, complaining, thinking they were going to die, and openly wishing they hadn’t left Egypt (their place of bondage). 

And. What does…

when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, “This is my body, which is for you. Do this in remembrance of *me*.” In the same way also he took the cup, after supper, saying, “This cup…

I haven’t been able to get the parable of the sower (Matt 13) out of my mind for the last few months.  

We know the seed is the word, and the ground is the heart of man.  

But…

It amazes me many people believe they will one day be changed in the twinkling of an eye with a glorified body, but they don't believe they were immediately changed the very second that they believed. You are eternal, reborn…

Lately I’ve seen lots of posts talking about how we have ALL of Jesus (which is true) and how we shouldn’t beg God for more (which is also true) because we have it ALL already (which isn’t true). 😂😵‍💫😇 

…

I’m opposed to the burden of religion, but I’m more opposed to the burden of self. For you died - Col 3:3. It’s just a basic fact. 

To me, our co death is the very epicenter of the gospel…

So, here is my open confession. I’m not sure I’d call myself a grace preacher anymore.  

* Was Jewish, a product of law.  
* Ended up quite naturally in Christian legalism.  
* Pushed to the brink of truth in…
