Can you see the wind?
Photo credit: www.mindfulhealthylife.com “It is the blessing of the LORD that makes rich, And He adds no sorrow to it.” Proverbs 10:22 NASB Can You See The Wind? Autumn is here! This is some people’s favorite time of year. They are ready for the intense heat of summer to give way to moderate coolness of the fall. Sweaters and pumpkin-spice lattes are totally acceptable now. How do these things have to do with wind? Or the scripture above on the blessing…
Are you speaking what you are expecting?
“The angel of the LORD appeared to him and said to him, ‘The LORD is with you, O valiant warrior’” Judges 6:12 NASB God communicates His expectations to get us to rise to what He has called us to do. In the scripture above (Jud. 6:12), we find the angel calling Gideon a valiant warrior while he hides in a winepress. It could be said that God, through the angel, was looking not at what Gideon was doing but what he…
Lets Rock The House
[Mat 16:13-20 NASB] “13 Now when Jesus came into the district of Caesarea Philippi, He was asking His disciples, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?” 14 And they said, “Some [say] John the Baptist; and others, Elijah; but still others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.” 15 He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” 16 Simon Peter answered, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” 17 And Jesus…
How To Get Over Offense
Can a ladder help you get over ‘a fence’? Jesus said that “offenses” come (Luke 17:1). In fact, He said that it is impossible that they not come. That is quite a statement from Jesus. On this BACK TO CHURCH Sunday, we are going to talk about offenses. As we are trying to reach people who do not actively participate in church, we have to deal with the number one reason why people do not attend church. They claim that…
Hey Will You Be My Friend? B-Groups Relaunch & Chuck Brewster
Why B-Groups? Life change happens in the context of relationships We are designed for relationships. Relationships define us, grow us, challenge us, strengthen us, and bless us. While our culture devalues personal relationships, Scripture requires them. “They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. Everyone was filled with awe, and many wonders and miraculous signs were done by the apostles. All the believers were together and had everything in common. Selling their possessions…

You are not alone
“Do not fear, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them.” 2 Kings 6:16 NASB Outnumbered Who could blame him? The servant of the prophet saw that they were surrounded by an army. It was thousands of armed soldiers against two people, the prophet and his servant. The servant did not have to be a mathematical genius to determine that were outnumbered. Were they outnumbered? Vision The servant’s eyes were not functioning correctly. Yes,…
The Power of a Pattern
[Mat 6:9 NASB] 9 “Pray, then, in this way: ‘Our Father who is in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. [Luk 11:2 NASB] 2 And He said to them, “When you pray, say: ‘Father, hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come. Is A Prayer Pattern Anointed? Pentecostals are notoriously resistant to anything other than what feels “anointed”. We focus on spontaneity and passion. We avoid rigid and cold prayers and church services. After all, we want a relationship, not religion. With…
Satan Lies
“You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies.” John 8:44 NASB Secret Messages Have you ever had a decoder ring? They are devices used to send a secret message…
If its from God, I want it
[Act 2:1-4 NASB] 1 When the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place. 2 And suddenly there came from heaven a noise like a violent rushing wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. 3 And there appeared to them tongues as of fire distributing themselves, and they rested on each one of them. 4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as…
A Borrowed Blessing
“Then he said, “Go, borrow vessels at large for yourself from all your neighbors, even empty vessels; do not get a few.” 2 Kings 4:3 NASB The Law of the Hole. Are you ready for sound financial advice? When in a hole, stop digging. (Selah) This is the mindset one needs to have when dealing with financial debt. Some people have tried to borrow their way out of debt. People use debt consolidating loans and such. They can even use…
