With the Christmas season looming and the difficult year we’ve had, I wanted to bring a message of hope to you. And what better way to do that than through the Christmas story. We’ll be using Luke’s account of the birth of Jesus. It’s always a...

Surely, you agree with me when I say that we’re in the fiercest spiritual battle of our lives. But the key is “spiritual” in this sentence. And since it’s spiritual, it CANNOT be won using human weapons. Prayer is one of the most powerful...

The message I’m bringing before you I shared in a LIVE video last Monday, but in case you didn’t hear the spoken word, I wanted to make sure you heard it. This message is relevant for where we are right now. As 2020 is coming to a close, this may be the...

This week has been horrible in many ways. We just shake our heads at the injustice permeating our government, the spirit of deception that has crept through the Church, and the dark cloud that’s hovering over our nation. We expect weak Christians to cower and...

I needed to write a word to you because of what we’re seeing and experiencing in our nation right now. Believers are losing faith. They’re fearful, anxious, worried, and filled with despair. You may be shaking your head like the rest of us. In fact, you...

We just finished studying Revelation and the consensus was the same: “We believe that Jesus is coming soon!” The signs are lining up. The world is getting crazier by the day. And wickedness and deception has reached an all-time high. Jesus said these...

You may know by now that I’m writing a study on Revelation. I plan to teach it in the fall of 2020. If you have studied end-time prophesy, you know the sequence of major events: the Rapture of the Church, the 7-year tribulation period, the 2nd coming of Jesus,...

Jesus’ parables combined kingdom truths with word pictures the people could understand. Shepherding was very common in Israel in the first century, but something tells me that on this day, the people listening got a whole new perspective on shepherds and sheep....

The parable of the ten bridesmaids can be found in Matthew 25:1-13. You may want to read it first. In this parable, Jesus taught a spiritual truth from something very familiar to His listeners: a wedding. We have our own wedding traditions, and so did the ancient...

The story of the prodigal son (the lost son) resonates with many of us. You’ve probably had one or know someone who does. When the term prodigal is used, it can mean either a child who becomes estranged from their family, a child who goes on a destructive...

Did you know that 1/3 of Jesus’ teaching was in parables? Why would He teach this way? Well, it’s important we look at the meaning. The Greek word for parable is paraboleĀ and means, “to cast beside.” A parable is an illustrative story, by which...

Sometimes it’s beneficial to take a word and see what the Bible has to say about it. And since I’ve seen so much selfishness, I thought it would a good topic to discuss – to see what God says about it. We live in a “Me” world. In fact,...
