    How many of you here today feel as though any fire that could be considered a passion has been extinguished?

    We are spiritual sowers by our witness for Jesus.

    Text: Then He spoke many things to them in parables, saying, “Behold, a sower went out to sow” (Matthew 13:3). Why would Jesus use the words “sow and sower”? What does it mean to “sow”? What is a “sower”? What is a parable? Why did Jesus teach in parables? Jesus used the words “sow and sower” ...read more

    Spiritual Schizophrenia Series

     | 5,936 views

    It is impossible to live a life characterized by blessing God while simultaneously cursing other believers. To attempt to so live is to demonstrate that one is suffering spiritual schizophrenia.

    JAMES 3:7-12 SPIRITUAL SCHIZOPHRENIA “Every kind of beast and bird, of reptile and sea creature, can be tamed and has been tamed by mankind, but no human being can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison. With it we bless our Lord and Father, and with it we curse people who ...read more

     | 3,845 views

    Many of us are sitting around with 20 year old prophecies. It’s so easy to become disappointed, disillusioned or bitter when it seems like God hasn’t come through like we expected.

    Spiritual Pursuit - Proverbs 2:3; Matt 7:7 & Luke 11:9 Intro.: In our “crying out and lifting up our voices”. We find that God has a sort of soft spot. He is tender concerning our spiritual poverty, persistence and hunger. Jesus related a story in Luke 11:5-8 that illustrates persistence. We are ...read more

    God responds to the cries of His children who lay hold of Him & refuse to stop asking for breakthrough in their lives. The Kingdom of God is there to be seized by those who will not be turned back by inconvenience or difficulty...

    The ignorance of the Hebrews leads them to unfaithfulness. They are naive and think culture will not effect them spiritually. Let us overcome our ignorance and protect our faith.

    The people of Israel are on the plains of Moab across the river Jordan about 10 miles southeast of Jericho, they are preparing to enter into the promise land. The Moabites want the Israelites to leave as they are afraid the people of Israel will desolate the land of produce, so their king, Balak, ...read more

    Spiritual Laws

    God has established spiritual laws that can change our circumstances. These spiritual laws, like all laws, are designed to bless us, but they only do so as we submit ourselves to them.

    Our lives are constantly being effected by civil laws, natural laws, and spiritual laws. Some laws will take precedence over others. We might establish a civil law that says it’s perfectly legal to drive 55 MPH on a curvy road, but if the road becomes covered with ice, the natural law of ...read more

     | 6,165 views

    After three and a half years of teaching these disciples, Jesus was bringing His teaching to a critical point: His followers are to exercise the authority He was giving them, by the working of their faith.

    In Matthew 21:1-11, we see Jesus riding into Jerusalem on the back of a young donkey that had never before been ridden. People were putting their cloaks in the pathway, as well as laying down palm branches, and that’s why we call the Sunday before Easter, “Palm Sunday.” Palm Sunday begins a ...read more

    How do we spiritually workout the promises of God so that they become reality?

    Introduction: As we remember the Year of Increase & Filling, I felt constrained to consider how God actually does what He says in our lives.

     | 5,620 views

    Within the camp of those who are saved, there are two groups, and that is carnal and spiritual. All saved people have the Holy Spirit as permanent resident in their lives, but not nearly all have understood and/or obeyed the biblical instructions of how

    There are really just two kinds of people in the world, from the largest spiritual perspective, and that is saved and lost. All of humanity can be divided into one of those two camps. Those who are saved have come to God through faith in Christ, and those who are lost have not. Volumes and ...read more
