    Feeding On Christ

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Jan 13, 2019
    based on 4 ratings
     | 15,089 views

    What does it mean to feed on Christ? Why doesn't everyone respond positively to the gospel?

    Today’s passage is challenging. The passage is difficult in two ways; first, it is difficult to understand, as it requires unpacking a figure of speech, a metaphor. What does it mean, really, to “eat the flesh” and “drink the blood” of Christ? So it’s difficult to understand. And perhaps more ...read more

    John’s moral test for genuine salvation consists of: 1) The Test Stated (1 John 2:3), 2) The Test Applied (1 John 2:4–5) and 3) The Test Exemplified (1 John 2:6)

    Most of us don’t like tests. Tests conjure up bad images in our minds: that horrible math final exam your senior year in high school, that stress test the doctor has ordered, or that dreaded driver’s license test with a dour instructor in the car with you demanding that you display ...read more

    These two messages are the culmination of decades of observing those I have heard, met, sat under, and worked with in ministry who have walked in a unique Anointing and Favor of God and what they all had in common that caused them to stand apart from others.

    INTRODUCTION The Bible emphatically reveals that there is one eternal God who is not some universal mind or consciousness that fills space and matter.
