After we come to Christ there are two natures that live inside of us - the fleshly nature and the new life given to us by God. These two natures don’t get along well at all - in fact they are at war with each other. Learn how to wage war against the flesh

Let me start by saying that if God is your co-pilot, you had better change places with Him as quickly as you can. In MATTHEW ...read more

Most Christians truly don't understand who they are now that they are born again. They have the life and nature of God living in them, a life and nature that Satan is powerless against.
What Most Christians Don’t Know When I read what many Christians post on social media, it’s clear to me that many truly don’t know who they are. A person posted a video of a gentleman singing “Jesus will fix it” on Facebook – a song I love and sang in church many years ago. One of the lyrics ...read more
Scripture: Acts 19:8-16
Denomination: Evangelical/Non-Denominational
This is the first of three messages that will ultimately answer the question "Now that we are born again with God's life and nature and no longer have a sin nature why do we sin?"
Fifteen years ago I learned a simple truth from scripture. It’s a truth that explains why Christians commit sin after they are born again. It’s a truth that disagrees with a teaching that goes virtually unchallenged in the Body of Christ. The teaching I’m talking about is “I am a sinner saved by ...read more

The spirit of retaliation is natural to the unregenerate mind. It belongs to the animal part of our nature. It creeps into our earliest feelings as little children. And it is one of the most difficult of evils to overcome.
Sermon on the Mount - Matthew 5:38-42 (Retaliation) MATTHEW 5:38-42, NIV 38 You have heard that it was said, 'Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.' 39 But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also. 40 And if anyone ...read more

Satan is known to twist the truth and, unfortunately, we've all fallen for it one time or another. What has God done to restore a new life for us?
Back when I was just getting started in ministry in St. Louis, I got out of my car to head into the ministry center where I lived and worked.

Scripture: Genesis 3:1-24
When we destroy someone's life with lies, we can expect to face the consequences of our actions, with interest
The Bible teaches that our actions have consequences, and that we will reap what we sow (Galatians 6:7-8). This principle is especially relevant when it comes to the destructive power of lies. When we destroy someone's life with lies, we can expect to face the consequences of our actions, with ...read more

This is a series based on and heavily dependent on Timothy Keller’s Best Seller "The Reason For God" for which I’m deeply grateful. It uses much of his argument though with various additions by myself or the other preachers of the series. Sin isn’t the most popular term in our world today is it, ...read more
