The prize you want is the pursuit that you choose. What the church pursues is what the church values. The pursuit of political power in our nation runs rampant. We, His church, are in pursuit, but it is not of the power of this world. Using the church in the book of Acts this message reminds us, His church, what we should be pursuing.

The Church in Pursuit

God‘s presence would lead the Israelites out of Egypt manifested by a pillar of fire, a cloud, and an angel of the Lord. As they followed His presence they would be lead out of Egypt. However, the way into the promised land was the same as the way out of the land of captivity. As we exit 2020 and head into 2021 we must remember that we leave one by the presence of God and enter the other by the presence of God.

The Way Out Is the Way In

The sons of Israel were captive in Egypt for hundreds of years until God began to liberate them. Using Moses, to pronounce judgment against Egypt God would use darkness as one of His judgments. God sent darkness over the land of Egypt, but the Bible says the sons of Israel had light in their dwellings. Darkness could not invade the houses of Israel for the God who is light illuminates their darkness. This Christmas let us remember Jesus is the light that illuminates our darkness today

Light Over Darkness

Jesus told Pilate He came to testify to the truth. John said Jesus came to the earth full of grace and truth. Jesus was the testimony of truth about and for God. Yet, there were those who would attempt to suppress that truth. Even today there are those who would suppress the truth of God. We, as believers, live according to the truth presented by Jesus of this amazing God, who loves us so much. This is a reminder of one of the purposes for which God took on humanity.

Truth Is Here

Peter fished all night and caught nothing. It was a night of futility, but joy came in the morning in the presence of Jesus. And Jesus came with a directive word to offset the futility of Peter's night. It is a directive word of God that will often cause us to see things on the other side that we may not have seen. As we navigate these uncertain times He still provides a directive word to His people. Allow this message to cause you to hear his directive word and see what you might not have seen

God of the Aftermath

Trying times have a way of causing discouragement, frustration and overwhelming anxiety. They can rob you of sleep, steal the words from your mouth and bring a crisis of faith. Psalm 77 is a Psalm of Asaph, who found himself in such a state. What did he do? He remembered! His present situation caused him to call to mind the strength, might and power of his God. The God who gave him victory in the past would be the same God who gave him victory in the present. This message will encourage you during difficult times to say: “I will remember!” You may have a troubled present but take heart. In Christ you have an overcoming history.

I Will Remember

Throughout the Bible, we see that living in peace is something so common and encouraged, it is part of a common greeting for followers of Christ. This message challenges the chaos and anxiety that is too commonplace today and demonstrates how to live in the peace of God.

The Power of Peace

Jezebel was in covenant with a wicked and weak leader causing havoc in the kingdom of Israel. The spirit of Jezebel still wards against the people of God but has been defeated by Jesus, the anointed. If defeated, then our adversary only has power that we give through our tolerating of it. Our culture is being run by Jezebel but we, believers, do not have to be. Stop tolerating her.

Jezebel at the Door

When we get a glimpse of the majesty of God it should become the master of our lives. The Bible says He is robed in majesty. What does that mean? How is He robed? What does it mean in my life as I live in this world? This message is a small dip into the endless ocean that is God’s majesty. Let it master your life.

Mastered by Majesty

Where is your confidence in the day of trouble? Psalm 20 says in the day of trouble Yahweh will answer. The God of Jacob will protect. Help will come from the sanctuary, and support will come from Zion. All of this caused the Psalmist to declare he would not trust in chariots and horses but in the name of the Lord. The day of trouble will come, but in the day of trouble God will help you overcome.

In the Day of Trouble

The song around the throne begins with holy, holy, holy because He is holy. Psalm 99 tells us to praise Him because He is holy, to exalt Him because He is holy and to worship Him at his foostool because He is holy, Our God is holy. He is above this world yet not aloof. He is distinct from this world but not distant. He is separate from this world but not separated. He reigns in holiness. This message challenges us as believers to see Him in His majesty, splendor, and holiness, causing us to worship our holy God.

He Is Holy

In a world of ever changing culture and political pursuit of power this message reminds us, as believers, where the true seat of power exists. The throne of God is the ultimate seat of power, and we must allow it to formulate our vision. We must see through the filter of the throne of God. As we do that, the atmosphere of the throne room should become the atmosphere of the believer. The culture of the throne room becomes the culture of our fleshly temple.

Behind the Throne

Jesus said that He came that we may have life and have it more abundantly. The purpose and the promise of Jesus was that we would have life. Belief is that which leads us to the life He wants for us. Our belief is our life. Our life is found in our belief. Allow this message to challenge you to what you believe and what you act upon in order to live the life He purposed for you

Your Life Is in Your Belief

All through scripture we see God making a way for His people when there seemed to be no way. He made a way out of Egypt, across the Red Sea, through the wilderness and into the promised land. The reason he made a way is because He made a promise. He is the waymaker because He is the promise keeper. This message will encourage you to trust in the One who makes a way because He made a promise.

Way Maker and Promise Keeper

We live in a day of lawlessness. There is the violation of God’s law and the violation of civil law on many levels. Jesus said lawlessness would cause the love of many to grow cold. In a day of lawlessness the love of God must not grow cold for the law of God’s love is the witness to the world of lawlessness. This message will remind us, His people, to live the law of love in the land of lawlessness.

The Law of Love
