    Spiritual Spinach

    Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Aug 1, 2016
     | 16,570 views

    What spinach did for Popeye physically is what God can do for us spiritually. However, that doesn’t mean it will be instantaneous like Popeye's reaction; but it will be supernatural nonetheless. Let's see how we can get some of God's spiritual spinach.

    SPIRITUAL SPINACH Isaiah 40:27-31 Popeye. What spinach did for Popeye physically is what God can do for us spiritually. Now, I need to incorporate a disclaimer here: just because the Lord is the source of supernatural power doesn’t mean there’s going to be an instantaneous reaction ...read more

    This is a subject many Christians would rather avoid (But we are in a Spiritual battle so we might as well admit it and learn how to fight) Our victory exists in only one place and that's the realm of the Spirit.

    Exodus 17:8-13 Have you ever felt like life is throwing at you everything but the kitchen sink, and then (pow here comes the kitchen sink)? It feels like your theme song is (when it rains it pours) and nobody knows the trouble I’ve seen? Let me take it a ...read more

    I used a jigsaw puzzle to illustrate how spiritual gifts operate in the body of Christ.

    Most of you know that Mary and I really enjoy putting together jigsaw puzzles. It’s a fun activity that we can do together and we can actually talk with each other while we’re working on the puzzle. And if any of you are interested, we’ve even brought a bunch of our old puzzles to ...read more

    Have you tried all you can to break some hard nuts with the Gospel only to be left frustrated and exhausted because they never got it? This is what you call as natural man!

     | 20,925 views

    When we neglect God and His word, when we turn to God-substitutes, the result is spiritual dryness. When we want God to leave us alone, He just might. Amos tells what it will be like to live without a prophetic voice.

    “Spiritual Famine” Amos 8:9-14 Pastor Bob Leroe, Cliftondale Congregational Church, Saugus, Massachusetts (23 Aug 2015) In 1968, the USS Pueblo, a Navy intelligence ship, was captured by North Korea, a week before the start of the “Tet Offensive” in Vietnam. The ...read more

    Spiritual Fruit Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on Nov 24, 2015
     | 8,459 views

    Your life should be more than a flurry of activity. You were meant to produce spiritual fruit. Paul uses the imagery of fruit trees to illustrate this. What you want out of a fruit tree is fruit. In the Christian life what we want is spiritual fruit.

    Wouldn’t it be great if every time that you received a harsh criticism you returned it with a response of kindness? That is what it is like for the believer who has the fruit of the Spirit manifested in their life. Wouldn’t it be great the next time you are wronged, instead of rage ...read more
