    Spiritual Thinking

    The apostle Paul lays out this subject for us in the book of Colossians. First he says, “Set your hearts on things above.” The NIV is the only translation to use the word “hearts” in verse 1 here. Almost all the other translations use the word “seek.”

    Spiritual Thinking Colossians 3:1-3 Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. (2) Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. (3) For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in ...read more

    Spiritual Spinach

    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

    The question becomes one of what will control your mind. Will your spirit be linked to the mind of Christ and bring glory to God, or will you become carnally minded and let your body controls your thoughts which cannot please God?

    Spiritual Minded Romans 8:5-6 Elder Clarence E. Weaver Sr “(5) For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh ; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit (6) For to be carnally minded is death; but to spiritually minded is life and peace” (Romans ...read more

     | 3,701 views

    The key question to ask yourself is...do you want to be spiritually alive in Christ or spiritually dead in yourself?

    Prayer- Introduction- One of my favorite books of the Bible is the Book of Ephesians. The reason is that the book of Ephesians lets us see how important we are to God. Chapter one tells us that as believers we are sealed with the approval of God and that the Holy Spirit of God wants to dwell ...read more

    COVID-19 has kept church building doors closed. Are you feeling spiritually isolated? Let God’s words speak to your heart and mind. You are loved, missed and desired. The church is still strong and united.
