We study the trial and crucifixion of Jesus and see how it brought three different men--Pilate, a Jewish robber, and a Roman centurion--to belief that He was who He said He was. We conclude that it was the glory of God within Him that enabled Him to die in a way that led these three men to belief.

Three Men and the Glory of Christ

We look at the lives of Abraham, Jacob, Joseph, and Moses and how God called them to leave the comfortable and familiar to learn to live in the power and life of God. This is a divine way that holds true also for the Believer in Christ.

Leaving Comfort and Familiarity for Christ

We study Scriptures that help us appreciate the role of the Holy Spirit in comprehending the profoundness of the love of God. We also look at His role with respect to gifting in the Body of Christ.

Thanksgiving for the Spirit-Part I

Each of us has a destiny in God to fulfill on the earth. Our fulfilling that destiny depends on whether we learn to take every thought captive unto the obedience of Christ and obey every Holy Spirit-given instruction and revelation to our hearts. Using Philippians 2:12 as our base text, we examine how we can ensure that we "work out our salvation" and achieve our full destiny in God in this life.

Working Out Our Salvation

The purpose of this teaching is to establish a conviction in the mind and heart of the believer that Christ will deliver me from any and every evil power and circumstance in this life and bring me safely into His heavenly kingdom--because He Himself is Salvation in all of its implications--in the spirit, soul, and body of the believer.

Jesus is Salvation

We examine Scriptures that help us determine whether we as believers in the Lord Jesus are truly living by the limitless power and ability of God.

Living by the Dunamis (Ability/Power) of God

Are we truly living by the life of Chist? Are we drawing our life from the resurrected and ascended Christ? In this lesson we examine Scriptures that teach us to do this very thing.

To Live is Christ

In this lesson we study passages that teach the believer's position in the heavenly places in Christ--a place far above all rule, authority , power, and dominion and where all of the manifestations of love reside.

Living Out of Heaven

We examine 2 Corinthians 10:1-5, Romans 8:35, and Ephesians 6:10-18 to make points about the names of some demonic beings behind evil activity in the earth and the only means by which the believer can know victory when dealing with these demons.

Realities of Spiritual Warfare

We look at many passages of Scripture that have a common pattern. First, the believer is told a truth such that their sins are forgiven or they have been made whole or that God will never leave them or forsake them. Then they are told to take courage. Then they are told to do something that requires courage. We examine where courage is found and why it is necesary for the believer to learn how to encourage himself in the Lord. We conclude by stating that part of what we are to deny when we deny self is to deny the timidity/cowardice that exists in the flesh. To do that we need to take hold of the courage found only in Christ.

Taking Courage

In this study we discuss passages that 1) seem reserved for the person who loves God (as opposed to simply believing in God), and 2) challenge us as to what it means to follow Christ in the spiritual journey from warm, friendship love (phileo) to love that is an act of the will and does not depend on a response (agape.)

Truly Knowing God part 6

Up to this point we have talked much of Christ living in the believer. In this message we study a related topic--the believer's position in God. We realize that we are enveloped by love--wherever we go, whatever new challenge we are called to experience, Christ has already experienced and conquered it and is wanting to share His victory with us in love.

Truly Knowing God, Part 5

We examine promises given by Jesus as recorded in John 14, 15, and 16. The promises are conditional upon our obedience. Jesus will reveal Himself within us in greater clarity and power as we continue to seek His Word and obey it.

Truly Knowing God part 4

We continue to study the agape love realm of knowledge, contrasting it to the perceptual (eye/ear) realm and conceptual (heart/mind) realm. We enter into this love realm of knowledge (which God calls true knowledge) by having a reverential awe of God that leads us to seek His face and do what He commands us to do. (Proverbs 1:7, Proverbs 9:10-12, isaiah 45:19, Hosea 5:15-6:3; Matthew 14: 22-29)

Truly Knowing God part 3

We look at additional passages in the Scripture that teach of the realm of knowledge (love of Christ) that exceedingly surpasses the knowledge realms of eye/ear and heart/mind. Scriptures examined include 1 Corinthians 2:7-16; Matthew 14:22-30; Ephesians 3:19-20.
