    Fencing Off Your Offenses

    Contributed by Joe Dan Vendelin on Apr 5, 2024
     | 854 views

    Carrying an offense can be damaging to one's spiritual walk and relationships with others. Learning to defend against these offenses can be a protection, and learning to praise God at the onset can prove to be a powerful fence against the offense.

    Fencing Off Your Offenses Proverbs 18:19 says, “A brother offended is harder to win than a strong city, And contentions are like the bars of a castle.” What does it mean to be offended and how is that different than unforgiveness? If unforgiveness is a prison, then an offense is the door that ...read more

    Wealth In Wellness

    Contributed by Joe Dan Vendelin on Apr 13, 2024
     | 686 views

    Living well may seem elusive. But Jesus lived the best life. How can we live a life of wellness? It is coming to a place as Jesus was--full of grace and truth. Therein lies the wealth of wellness.

    Wealth in Wellness There is a wealth that resides in wellness. 3 John 1:2 (NKJV) says, “Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.” The Apostle John is addressing the “beloved,” and he prays that those who are beloved would prosper. The word ...read more

    Powerful Prepositions

    Contributed by Joe Dan Vendelin on May 11, 2024
     | 416 views

    How things start out can often determine if they are victorious in the end. Our final outcomes are judged not in the light of today, but in the light of eternity. Romans 11:36 shows us a three-pronged test to get us started out right and to help us see it through to the end.

    According to Merriam-Webster, a preposition at its most basic form shows direction. Romans 11:36 is packed full of three powerful prepositions. Not because the words themselves hold power, but because they are providing direction to the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. It says, “For from him ...read more

    Magnificent Meekness

    Contributed by Joe Dan Vendelin on May 18, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 494 views

    Biblical meekness is having the power to act yet holding back until we are led to act by the Holy Spirit. This is magnificent meekness and it is different than potential. God grants us the power of His meekness today and fully equips us to do whatever He is calling us to do.

    Jesus said, “Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.” (Matthew 5:5 ESV) What does it mean to be meek in a biblical sense? Dr. Richard Tow describes it well in his book, “Beatitudes of Christ.” On page 65, he says, “Meekness is not weakness. Meekness is a manifestation of spiritual ...read more

    Protective Praise

    Contributed by Joe Dan Vendelin on May 25, 2024
     | 737 views

    Have you ever thought about how praising God in the highs and lows can provide a layer of protection against pride (in the highs) or despair (in the lows)? Here we take a look at Hezekiah as an example of why we need to praise God and forget not all His benefits described in Psalm 103:1-5.

    Protective Praise Have you ever thought about praise being a protective agent? Psalm 103:1 (ESV) says, “Bless the LORD, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless his holy name!” When we bless the Lord in our highs and lows, he provides a layer of protection. From what? Getting too high or ...read more

    Inspirational Intent

    Contributed by Joe Dan Vendelin on Jun 1, 2024
     | 601 views

    Taking time to understand the original intent of anything God has spoken is a protective measure for us in our walk. This sermon discusses two scenarios found in the Bible with very different outcomes based on rightly dividing the word of truth.

    Inspirational Intent When we take the time to understand what the original design of something was, we find inspiration we might not have otherwise encountered. This is inspirational intent. As we sit down to read the word of God, we can find ways to apply it to our lives. Application is what ...read more

    Voice Recognition

    Contributed by Joe Dan Vendelin on Jun 8, 2024
     | 879 views

    Learning to hear the voice of the Lord is paramount to being led by the Spirit of God. God promises to lead us by His Spirit, speaking spiritual truths, Spirit to spirit. May we be sensitive to His leading as we recognize His voice and follow Him without hesitation and in full obedience.

    In John 10, Jesus describes Himself as the Good Shepherd. As a believer, we become part of his flock. That makes us sheep in His Kingdom. Ps. 23 speaks eloquently of how the Good Shepherd cares for His sheep. There is not a question of what the Good Shepherd will do. The question isn’t the intent ...read more

    Bearable Burdens

    Contributed by Joe Dan Vendelin on Jun 15, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 540 views

    God gives us "bearable burdens" so that we can grow in his matchless grace. His grace is perfected in weakness as we walk out the burdens He has given us to carry, just as Paul did with his thorn of the flesh.

    1 Corinthians 10:13 says, “No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.” (ESV) Have you ever been in a situation ...read more

    The Champion's Anthem

    Contributed by Joe Dan Vendelin on Jun 19, 2024
     | 564 views

    Paul describes what I am calling the "Champion's Anthem" in 2 Corinthians 4:7-10. It's a description of what it means to press into the pain so that God's grace would reign.

    The Champion’s Anthem is what I call Apostle Paul’s description of hard times described in 2 Corinthians 4:7-10. Here is my rendition of that– “I am squeezed but not squished, still having hope–even at the end of my rope. I am still in the race, even if I am being chased, and I may be knocked ...read more

    Growing In Grace

    Contributed by Joe Dan Vendelin on Jun 29, 2024
     | 921 views

    There are so many ways that we can try to strengthen ourselves. The writer of Hebrews charges us to allow our hearts to be strengthened by grace. Growing in grace is learning to turn to the Lord in trying times over any other external source of strength.

    Growing in Grace Hebrews 13:9 says, “Do not be carried about with various and strange doctrines. For it is good that the heart be established by grace, not with foods which have not profited those who have been occupied with them.” (NKJV) Growing in grace is about allowing our hearts to be ...read more

    Solid Strength

    Contributed by Joe Dan Vendelin on Jul 2, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 740 views

    When the Lord is our strength, we know it is solid. Learn today to trust in His strength to be like a rock. Allow that rock to be the strength of your heart. Allow the Lord to be your Solid Strength today. He always shows up and never disappoints.

    Solid Strength “My flesh and my heart fail; But God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.” Psalm 73:26 My own heart and its strength fail. We run into the end of ourselves. Part of that is because we are human. We are but dust. So, how is it that the Lord can put us in situations ...read more

    7 Crucial Crucibles Series

    Contributed by Joe Dan Vendelin on Feb 10, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,194 views

    The Apostle Paul lays out 7 words to describe difficult situations that could threaten our intimacy with the Lord. The purpose of this study is a quick peek at each of the 7 words Paul uses related to challenges in Romans 8:35 to better orient us to face them unseparated from the love of Christ.

    7 Crucial Crucibles 7 is the number of God’s perfection. So, how does he use difficult situations to perfect us? There are 7 descriptors (7 Crucial Crucibles) that Paul lays out in Romans 8. Below is a description and deeper dive of each of these words. These words can be related to a crucible ...read more

    Joy And Pain

    Contributed by Joe Dan Vendelin on Feb 14, 2024
     | 1,132 views

    How are your current trials (pain) preparing you for not only what you need today (or tomorrow), but what others may need today (or tomorrow) as well? This is a quick devotional that will encourage believers to "reframe" their pain.

    Joy and Pain What do the words joy and pain mean to us as believers? How is it that these words go together? James 1 is a place to start in considering these questions. “Dear brothers and sisters, when troubles of any kind come your way, consider it an opportunity for great joy. For you know ...read more

    Conquering Your Crucibles Series

    Contributed by Joe Dan Vendelin on Feb 17, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 896 views

    This is a continuation of the previous sermon on the 7 Crucial Crucibles to further consider how to live as "more than a conqueror" and ultimately conquer your crucible in Christ Jesus our Lord.

    Conquering Your Crucibles In the previous sermon, I discussed 7 Crucial Crucibles, which is a deeper dive into the situations described by the Apostle Paul in Romans 8:35. Paul paints a pretty bleak picture. And then he transitions to make a daring statement. He says that “in all these things ...read more

    The "rock And Wave" Of Evangelism

    Contributed by Joe Dan Vendelin on Feb 24, 2024
     | 859 views

    Jesus did not behave the same in every situation. Sometimes, he stood like a "rock" and other times he disrupted like a "wave." This is a short explanation of two ways in which we can be impactful in a way that brings others closer to Christ to the glory of God the Father.

    What is the rock and wave of evangelism? This is a framework of how to function as light in a world of darkness. Jesus told his followers that “You are the light of the world.” (Matthew 5:14) Let’s take a deeper dive into that: 14 “You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be ...read more
