    Practice these four traits that Paul prayed his friends would possess, and you will grow in your spiritual maturity.

    When you’re building something important, something that you want to last, it is absolutely necessary to start with a BLUEPRINT. We don’t begin important projects haphazardly. We begin with a plan for what we desire in the final product. If we don’t, we will end up with the ...read more

    God cares about our physical needs BUT our spirituality is a priority to God!

    We are here to worship God who is One but exists in 3 Persons. Although God is all around us and is involved in our lives, God knows we will be blinded with just the physical and so God gave us His Words. How does one worship someone?? If we are to worship God properly, we need to be at awe with ...read more

    We have discovered from Peter that to become like Christ, there are some things we need to add to our faith

    We have seen that we need to add to our faith : • VIRTUE - We need virtue because virtue is what sets the boundaries of what WE DO and DO NOT DO! • KNOWLEDGE - We need knowledge of WHO HE IS and WHAT HE IS LIKE if we are going to become like Him. After he tells us to add virtue and knowledge, he ...read more

    A man was watching a wood carver carve a six foot bear out of a large chunk of wood. The man was fascinated as he watched him and he finally asked him, “HOW DO YOU DO THAT?”

    The wood carver said, “It really isn’t as hard as it looks. What I do is get a huge piece of wood, and I carve out everything that does not look like a bear!” This is what God is trying to do with our lives. He wants to cut everything that does not look like Christ out of our lives. Peter shows ...read more

    If we are going to be the SPIRITUAL INDIVIDUALS God wants us to be, we are going to have to have the same motives he had. WHAT IS A MOTIVE?

    One of the best ways you can determine that a person is a SPIRITUAL PERSON is by the way they spend their TIME and MONEY.

    We are fooling ourselves when we think we are SPIRITUAL yet our TIME and MONEY reveals we are like the carnal people of this world who only care about cars, boats, campers, houses and clothes. The way we spend our time tells a great deal about us. Because time is important to us, most of us ...read more

    Luke 9 is a marvelous chapter. In this chapter we see at least two things.

    (1) WE SEE THE DISCIPLES CHOSEN. That is, these twelve men, in some ways, were the most blessed men who ever lived on earth. What an honor to be one of the twelve to follow the Lord from city to city and listen to Him teach and preach, and see Him perform miracle after miracle. These were some ...read more
