What A Savior

April 23, 2019

By His wounds you have been forgiven.  For anyone who receives Jesus, receives His forgiveness.  And with His forgiveness comes complete restoration with the Father. What was broken by sin has been healed by the wounds of Jesus. Jesus healed your relationship with God. And that’s amazing grace.  Jesus died for you to bring you to God.  So you can know the One who loves you.  Jesus did that for you.  That’s why there is no one like Jesus. What a Savior!

Rooted in the Spirit, Part Two

April 16, 2019

One of the best benefits of our new union in Christ is that each one of us has the potential to change and become like Jesus. You no longer have to be controlled by selfish or sinful desires: You can experience victory over anger, greed, lust, hatred, drunkenness, discontent, anxiety and fear. The reason we can experience victory, the reason we have this potential to change because God has put His Spirit in us.

Jesus knew we would need help to live the Christian life.  That’s why He gave us “another advocate” in the Holy Spirit. And now with His Spirit in you, you have someone to stand up for you. “The Holy Spirit is your encouraging advocate.” With His Spirit in you, you have someone to be with you.  “The Holy Spirit is your intimate companion.” With His Spirit in you, you have someone to make Jesus known to you. “The Holy Spirit is your indwelling teacher.”

Rooted in Christ, Part Three

April 3, 2019

Jesus paid it all.  We’ve been set free.  It’s of no value to live in the past and keep trying to keep proving yourself to God.  You no longer have to do this.  So stop doing it! That’s the first thing we must do to appropriate the power of our new life in Christ.  Because as long as we are trying to measure up, Christ is of no value to us.

Rooted In Christ, Part Two

You are now free from the fear of judgment.  You are now free from having to live up to a perfect standard gain God’s approval.  And you are now free from guilt.  For now whenever you do sin, you have an advocate before the Father, Jesus Christ, the righteous one, who paid for your sin and declares you righteous.  That’s God’s grace to you in Christ Jesus, and its what makes your relationship with God absolutely secure!

Rooted In Christ, Part One

God’s Word tells us that your union with Christ connects you to a history far longer than you could ever trace in a family tree.  It stretches from eternity past to eternity future and puts everything in between into fresh perspective.  It tells you that God’s love for you stretches back before creation.  It tells you that God has always had a plan for your life.  Your life has purpose and meaning.  It tells you that God has always wanted you to be with Him.  And it tells you that God has always intended to make some thing beautiful of your life.

Rooted In Salvation, Part Two

March 12, 2019

At some point anyone who takes a good hard look at who Jesus is must draw a conclusion about Jesus.  After all, if Jesus is just a teacher, then how can he forgive sins?  And if he’s just a good moral example, how can he raise the dead?  And if he’s simply a prophet, then how can he feed the multitudes with just two fish and five loaves?

All three of these: the world, the flesh and the devil are actively at work in our culture today and are bent on keeping us enslaved to sin and from living the life God intended for us to live. And so trapped in this matrix, living under the delusion that this world is all there is, we search for life with no moral compass in a culture that keeps pushing God out. But at the end of the day, we are left with the question: Is this all there is to life?  Something, no someone is missing: The true source of life and meaning – God Himself.  This is why God sent Jesus.  Only Jesus can satisfy your soul.  Only Jesus can save you from a life devoid of meaning.

Love Does: Becoming Love

Love Does: Becoming Love

February 26, 2019

What Paul is praying for here is transformation.  That we would be changed by the love of Christ ourselves. That the more we experience Christ’s love in our own lives, the more we will be filled with the love of Christ.  And when we are filled with the love of Christ, we become love.  That’s the goal: that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.  For God is love!
