"Forgiven, but not living like it". In it we will be examining the divine expectations and intentions of God for our lives found in the scriptures and the old/weak fig leaves believers for generations have used to try and cover their nakedness. There is not only a glory found in grace, but a responsibility, a response, an expectation to follow the Lord into all the ways and graces where he abides. Don't let the world and carnal believers dull your senses to what is valuable and necessary for the believer to walk closely with God.

In the old testament, the Israelites (like us all) were under the judgment of God and many of them died; but God in his mercy gave them a divine remedy of mercy, that only involved their faith. So it is with us today; all that troubles us and the sin that creates it can be dealt with by looking upon the remedy; which is Christ lifted up for our sins. Looking at him genuinely, exclusively......nothing more, nothing less. No wonder they call HIS GRACE amazing

This is not a self-help talk or just mans attempt at encouraging those who are down, weary and or defeated; but instead, an examination of the scriptures that shed light on our journeys here on the earth and remind us that we have everything inside of us (by his spirit) to continue in, endure and finish all things. Regardless of who you are, where you are, and what is behind you... if you are fully surrendered to Christ, his power is sufficient to see you to the end

Join us as we continue our series The Charge of the Believer. This week we will continue to reflect on Paul's last words to Timothy and make application for our lives today.

Join us as we continue our series The Charge of the Believer. This week we will build upon the framework of doctrine from last week, and the practical duty of every believer will be our focus. Once we know why we are to serve His Body, there may remain questions about how to serve His Body, so join us as we set forth a biblical outline for those that wish to apply what we have learned.

Join us as we continue our series The Charge of the Believer. This week we will search the Scripture to discover the biblical framework to properly understand how every believer should serve the Body of Christ. We will explore the doctrinal directives found in Ephesians this week, and next week, we will plan to apply this framework at a practical level. How will you "Serve His Body?

Join us as we continue our series The Charge of the Believer. This week we will examine how followers of Christ must dissect the Scriptures when seeking to make proper application of biblical principles in everyday life. Paul charged Timothy to "rightly divide" the Word of Truth, and we seek to do the same as cultural shifts create a deep need for believers to clearly understand how to navigate the times and live righteously before God

Join us as we examine biblical leadership on Father's Day. Paul exhorted the Corinthians to imitate him as he imitated Christ, and men that would lead their homes and families in a Christ-centered and God-honoring way can learn much from this simple directive. Today we will unpack Paul's instruction and offer a practical framework for those that wish to be able to look at those under their care and say with integrity, "follow me as I follow Christ."

Today we continue the series on The Charge of the Believer. Throughout Scripture, an outline is presented to those that follow God on how to live a life that will please Him and bring glory to His Kingdom. This series will expound on how we can understand and apply this framework to our own lives in modern America, and we will continue our study with an outward directive - Be His Witness. Before Jesus ascends into heaven, He told His disciples to be His witnesses, and we too are to be witness for Christ. Join us as we examine the Scripture and offer practical ways for each of us to serve our Savior with our witness

Today we continue the series on The Charge of the Believer. Throughout Scripture, an outline is presented to those that follow God on how to live a life that will please Him and bring glory to His Kingdom. This series will expound on how we can understand and apply this framework to our own lives in modern America, and we will continue our study with a simple directive - Guard Your Heart. Through surrender and obedience to God and His Word, we can successfully live righteously and guard our hearts, but this task is something that no one else can do for us, and God will not do it for us.

Today we begin the series on The Charge of the Believer. Throughout Scripture, an outline is presented to those that follow God on how to live a life that will please Him and bring glory to His Kingdom. This series will expound on how we can understand and apply this framework to our own lives in modern America, and we will begin with the first step - Be Alert. To follow Christ well, we must be aware of His character, presence, and prompting, and if we are not alert, we will inevitably be unaware of God's hand moving in our life.

Last week, my dear friend Joe Phillips did an illustrative sermon from the forgiveness penitentiary and God used it to touch many hearts and free them from being a warden over those we had locked away in our hearts. We were also given a key to remind us of this day, this action, and the spiritual reality of it. But what about after? After the feelings of conviction and warmth are gone? When the smoke of burn over field blows back over you, or you see someone that resurfaces all the pain, shame, sorrow, and or anger that this person created in you. Join us as we examine the scriptures and search out what it is that God expects and is often the missing component to take us from the act of forgiveness, to the state of wholeness.
