     | 10,740 views

    57th in a series from Ephesians. When we become a follower of Jesus, we enlist in a spiritual war so we need to be prepared for the battle.

    When we began our journey through the Book of Ephesians about a year and a half ago, I described Paul’s letter as our basic training manual. I also observed that since we are in a spiritual battle, we all need to be prepared for that battle by going though the spiritual basic training that is ...read more

    The Jesus We Trust When The Going Gets Tough

    Peter's desire to walk on water to be with Jesus is certainly a good thing, but he is unprepared for the consequences of this big step of faith. How do we handle headwinds and the waves that will certainly come in this life of faith?

    Jesus was having a pretty demanding day. That morning, Jesus heard the tragic news that his cousin John the Baptist had been killed. King Herod had him executed in prison. It was a terrible injustice. That morning Jesus intended to get away by himself to pray. He needed to know from his Heavenly ...read more

    In this section of Mark's Gospel, Mark draws our attention to the wonder and amazement of the people as they see the authority with which Jesus taught, and as they witness Jesus' power over demons and disease. As we put our faith in Christ and walk with Him, He continues to amaze us.

    In a world of social media influencers, self-proclaimed prophets, false teachers, and endless noise, we are bombarded with voices that claim to offer truth, hope, and direction. But not every voice is from God. Some may sound spiritual or wise, but they do not carry the authority of the Lord.

And Test the Prophets - Deuteronomy 18:22 Opening Scripture Deuteronomy 18:22 (NLT): “If the prophet speaks in the Lord’s name but his prediction does not happen or come true, you will know that the Lord did not give that message.

    In a world that thrives on lies, as children of God we must decide to follow Jesus who is the Truth. If we do not stand firm on the truth, we will find ourselves compromise with the lies of Satan, and making choices that are contradictory to the true values that God has set for us in His word.

    We read in Philippians 4:8, Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.
