Tongues Explained

Is tongues a form of angelic language? What instruction do we have for tongues? Is tongues a private language? Like any spiritual gifts for the church - tongues are to edify others and NOT ourselves! The big deal is not tongues - the big deal is Jesus Christ our Lord!

Abraham Part 3 Beginning to See God
6 days ago
6 days ago
God is not interested in punishing you or hurting you or pushing your face down in the dirt until you beg for mercy. God is interested in transformation. I promise you, God does NOT want to punish your sins. He wants to heal you from them! That means that God is willing to work patiently - personally, as long as it takes, in whatever way you need him to in your life.

Romans Part 12 Paul Makes His Arguments
Friday Apr 19, 2024
Friday Apr 19, 2024
My prayer is that you might come to know that your experience of God's love is real and it is powerful and it is something that no one can ever separate you from. Because the Spirit is within you, even NOW - offering God's righteousness for you to trust. Paul wants us to understand his arguments, but more than that, he wants us to encounter God.

God is gracious, God is forgiving, God welcomes us back every single time, but if we start to assume that the ends justify the means, that our privilege, however we got it, who ever we took it from, is some how God's will for us. Then we have drastically misinterpreted the story. Mature faith is about you and God in concert.

Romans Part 11 The Law That Requires Faith
Friday Apr 12, 2024
Friday Apr 12, 2024
Here's what I think Paul would say to you. "Work hard and don't give up. Put your trust in the fact that you are already loved far more deeply that you can possibly imagine. Once you can allow that to sink somewhere deep into your bones and live from that acceptance, it will inevitably find its way out through your life given enough time. Because that is the Law that requires Faith!"

Abraham Part 1 Your Yes Needs a No

Friday Apr 12, 2024
Here God could have very easily come to Abram and said "Go to the place I will show you, trust me, have faith, do it." But, the first thing that God says to Abram when he pulls him out of this place of waiting is "Leave behind what you know so that I can take you somewhere new."

Holy Week 2024 Sunday Evening

Friday Apr 05, 2024
When we choose control over trust and we give in to power instead of being vulnerable and open, then we miss the point of Palm Sunday. Any spirituality, even one that promotes peace and love and yet makes room for violence and power in pursuit of it's goals will devolve into the game of power that Jesus refuses to play on Palm Sunday.

Jesus seems to say, Yes, you need to plan, but the only thing you can ever really plan for is the fact that you will fall asleep, you will miss read the signs, in fact, you will only ever get into God's party because of the grace of God.
