Wearing The Crown of The Overcomer (James 1:9-12)

1) God is working perseverance and maturity for you to experience His strength. 2) The Father draws us to Himself and answers prayer.

How God Redeems Hardship (James 1:5-8)

1) Jesus is the King of reclamation. 2) God uses adversity to test our faith which never fails. 3) God is maturing us so we're not "puppets" of feelings/circumstances.

Are You in a Trial? Hear This! (James 1:1-4)

Be Encouraged: Nothing is Too Hard for the Lord (John 11:4)

BIG IDEA: There are many reasons to be troubled but there are greater reasons not to be! POINT #1 You Can Trust God’s Word - His promises are True POINT #2 Jesus has gone ahead of us and will receive us to Himself

A Cure for a Troubled Heart (How Are You Thinking?) (John 14:1-6)

POINT #1 God’s Word is not purposed to be an END IN ITSELF (of facts, experience, knowledge, ethical or moral principle) but rather of REVELATION of who God is, His PLAN, and to nurture intimate RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM. POINT #2 God’s Word reveals the TRUTH that God purposed our lives for intimate COMMUNION with the Spirit (2 Cor. 13:14) APPLICATION #1 When “STRUCK” (by the Sword of the Word of God): “ARISE!” and the chains will begin to fall! APPLICATION #2 When READING THE BIBLE raise the expectancy to hear from the Lord (because you are in Communion with the Spirit) With a REVERENTIAL attitude: "Be still, and know that I am God." (Psalm 46:10) With an EXPECTANT attitude: “Come close to God, and God will come close to you.” (James 4:8) With a WILLING attitude: "Whoever is willing to do what God wants will know whether it's true or not."  (John 7:17)

The Truth That Sets You Free? Emphasis on Relationship & Intimacy with God! (John 8:31-32)

POINT #1 Jesus is The Messiah - The Lord - who came to deliver & heal POINT #2 The Lord stirs up the “want factor” (i.e. “Do you want to be made well?”) POINT #3 Jesus’ calling is His enabling & our obeying is key to being set free and living the potential God purposed for our lives!

Need a Breakthru? The Truth Shall Set You Free! (John 5:1-11)

POINT #1 The Gospel sets you free from the illusion and the disillusionment of life. POINT #2 Jesus came to make us right with God - but it is the Heavenly Father who TRAINS us in righteousness. POINT #3 Repentance: the gift that remakes, restores, repairs, renews, & revives.

It's the Truth that Sets You Free: Part II (John 8:31-32)

POINT #1 The truth sets us free. POINT #2 Jesus paid the debt of sin and has provided the power over sin. POINT #3 Experiencing POWER over sin (our POTENTIAL) requires believing and ACTING on the truth! POINT #4 We have a Father who is present in our lives, trustworthy and only good!

It's the Truth that Sets You Free (John 8:31-32)

POINT #1 The Truth is God: who has revealed Himself! POINT #2 The Truth is that the purpose of our life is found in right relationship with Jesus the King and in His unfolding plan POINT #3 “Your Word is truth” (John 17:17)

What is Truth and How Can It Set Us Free? (John 18:28-38)

POINT #1 God has laid His “HANDS” on us POINT #2 God has given us the Spirit of POWER, LOVE and a SOUND MIND POINT #3 God has called us to be COURAGEOUS!

Power, Love, & A Sound Mind (Timothy 1:6-7)

POINT #1 Give EAR to the Spirit (receptive hearts to GOD’S WORD) (Rev. 2:7; 11; 17; 29; 3:6; 13; 22; John 8:31; Rom. 10:17; Matt. 4:4; John 6:68; John 17:17; Ps. 119:11) POINT #2 Cut out ALL COMPROMISE! (Matt. 5:30; 2 Tim. 4:16; 2 Tim. 2:19; 2 Tim. 2:21) POINT #3 Return to first LOVE (it’s not lost-it has been LEFT) (Rev. 2:1-7)

How to Fan the Fire of a Personal Revival: Giving Room to the Holy Spirit (2 Tim. 1:6-7)

POINT #1 Prophecy is a major component for 20/20 vision to avoid deception and compromise (I John 3:3; Titus 2:11-13) POINT #2 Biblical prophecy is irrefutable evidence of God’s existence and the authenticity of His Word - that history is going somewhere - that there is an unfolding plan of God! (Isa. 46:9-10) POINT #3 The prophetic fulfillment of Israel’s Rebirth as a nation is a Super-Sign setting the stage for the Second Coming of Jesus! 

2020 Prophecy Update (Isaiah 46:9-10)

POINT #1 A God-quake Brings the Lord, who is the ultimate value & reality, into focus! POINT #2 A God-quake leads to humility & confession that brings healing (“Woe is me, for I am undone! Because I am a man of unclean lips, And I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips") POINT#3 A God-quake shakes-off anything less than doing God’s will as an end in itself because it is right and it glorifies God. 

"The Needed God-Quake: It Changes Everything!" (Isaiah 6)

"So What is a Christian Exactly?" (Acts 11:26)
