Loving, Teaching, Helping
You see my listeners here in Chapter 16 of John’s Gospel, Jesus is leaving His disciples to go back into heaven to be with the Father and prepare for The Wedding. He is sending the Holy Spirit to help prepare The Church (The Bride) for the up-and-coming Wedding. Therefore, We must be ready with…

Addiction to the Sent Helper
No one can fail to be bold and eager in witness when the Spirit is producing in him overflowing joy, continuous gratitude, and humble love. O, how we need to be filled with the Spirit! Let’s seek it! Pursue it!
-
Are You Hated
“If you find the godless world is hating you, remember it got its start hating me. If you lived on the world’s terms, the world would love you as one of its own. But since I picked you to live on God’s terms and no longer on the world’s terms, the world is going to hate you.
-
Have You Been Cleansed??
My listeners when God Forgives you, Heb 8:12 “I will be merciful when they fail, and I will erase their sins and wicked acts out of My memory as though they had never existed.” My Listeners, He remembers your Sin no more. Your Cleansed! Set Free to serve Him.
-
Embedded & Entrenched
We are not dealing here with something marginal or optional. If we are not united to the vine so that Christ’s life is flowing into us, then his words, his love, his joy will be utterly and totally barren. Nothing of any lasting value will come from us
-
The Key is "TRUST"
I go to prepare a place for you. And as I go, I become the way that you get there. I am the truth that you hold onto to get there. And I am the life — the eternal life that you will enjoy when you get there. When I say, “I go to prepare a place for you,” I mean, I open the way. And I am the way.…

How Low Will You Go
When he had washed their feet and put on his outer garments and resumed his place, he said to them, “Do you understand what I have done to you?
-
Suicidal Love
Paul said it. Judas proved it. Do you love money? Do you want to be rich?That’s what the Bible says: if you want to be rich, you’re on a suicidal track.
-
A Dead Believer is Resurrected
In the way John presents this story, he means for us to see the resurrection of Lazarus as a picture of our resurrection — the resurrection of all who believe in Jesus.
-
He Knows YOU by Name
“I am the Good Shepherd. I know my own sheep and my own sheep know me
-
Mud in the Eye
You see the Blind man was healed in front of curious people as to which his healing was influencing as to who Jesus was and obviously wanted to know more about His purpose and mission.
-
"The Light of The World"
“In him was life, and the life was the light of men.” The life gives the light. The life Jesus has and the life he shares with those who follow him gives them light. That is, we are dead and blind to the light until the life of Jesus is imparted to us by God’s Spirit, and then we see. The eyes of...
-
Unbelieving Family
here we have what many of us go through in life in regards to our differences with biological “family” members. The apostle John throws this situation right in our face in verses 3–5, especially verse 5. When John intentionally shocks us by telling us that Jesus’s brothers (the younger sons of...
-
Many Fall Away
And now the degree of their apostasy or falling away is proved when they walked no more with him, and they did not return back to him or attend any more to Jesus’ ministry. You see, it is hard for those who have been once enlightened, and have tasted the good word of God, if they fall away, to...
-
Spirit vs Flesh
“For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh; for they are opposed to each other to prevent you from doing what you would.”
-
He Must be Our Desire.
When we are Born Again there has to be separation of Flesh and Spirit. The flesh must be Crucified, “I’ve been crucified with Christ, it’s no longer I that lives but Christ that lives in me”. Gal 2:20. You see, without dying to self-daily we will not understand God’s Word to the fullest.
-
"You Follow You Serve"
He Jesus, also makes it clear that those who follow Jesus’ path are put on earth to serve. His followers’ service comes out of love for Him. “Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him.”
-
"The Issue is Holiness"
The point is this: In the first coming of the Son of God into the world, we receive examples of his healing power. The full healing of all his people and all their diseases and disabilities awaits the second coming of Christ. And the aim of these examples, which we receive now, is to call us to...
-
"He Knows You Inside and Out"
John’s aim is that we see the complete knowledge, the heartfelt compassion, and the sovereign power of Jesus. This is how you get to know Jesus. This is how you build a relationship with Jesus. You meet Him here in His word. And you speak to Him.
-
"Our Purpose for Living"
“Worship is man’s full reason for existence. Worship is why we are born and why we are Born Again.
-
Salvaged from Darkness
Here we are learning about Jesus, and we are learning about ourselves as well. He is compassionate and aggressive and surgical and relentless in his love. He knows all your past and all your present. Nothing is hidden from him. One person in the universe knows you completely
-
"We Must Decrease"
20 For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. 21 But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God.”
-
“He’ll Turn Your Table Upside Down”
Beloved, we Must Understand the depths of Zeal, Intimacy and Passion that the Lord has for His Temple! This is where He dwells, and with that said He is planting His Bride next to Himself as a support Pillar in that Temple
-
From Wrath to Love
Perishing means wrath: it means fiery torment; it means separation from God; and it lasts forever. Now I tell you this plainly as a warning to flee from the wrath of God to the love of God through the door of Jesus Christ
-
Flesh gives Birth to Flesh
“That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.” The flesh is what we are naturally. The Spirit of God is the supernatural Person who brings about the new birth.
-
WHAT do you Mean?
Jesus replied, “With all the earnestness I own I tell you this: Unless you are born again, you can never get into the Kingdom of God.” “Born again!” exclaimed Nicodemus. “What do you mean?
-
This Temple
The Temple is the issue here and Jesus is showing His disciples that “The Temple” is where God dwells, and this is maybe the most important understanding that we as Christians must have! If you are a born-again follower of Jesus Christ “You are the Temple”!
-
The Miracles Begin
The indicator is that Jesus tells the servants to fill the purification jars with water. These were not used for drinking. They were used for bathing—for purifying. So, it seems that Jesus wants to say that this is what “my hour” will be like: “I will take the purification rituals of Israel and...
-
The First Followers are Chosen
Jesus said, “You’ve become a believer simply because I say I saw you one day sitting under the fig tree? You haven’t seen anything yet! Before this is over, you’re going to see heaven open and God’s angels descending to the Son of Man and ascending again.”
-
Flesh vs Spirit
“So God created man in His own image; in the image of God, He created him; male and female He created them.” God image is Spirit! But listen, in Genesis 2:7 “And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being”. So...
-
In Him Is Life
." When you believe in Jesus, not only do you leave the darkness and enter the light; you actually join the family of the light—you become children of the light. Paul said, "Once you were darkness itself, but now you are light in the Lord; walk as children of light" (Ephesians 5:8).
-
"The Creator who Made You"
“These words are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name,” he meant that he was writing to awaken faith in unbelievers and sustain faith in believers — and in that way lead both to eternal life.
-
“Recognition of Risk Takers”
These comrades are spread over several churches in Rome. In verse 1, Paul shares his appreciation, “I commend to you Phoebe our sister, who is a servant of the Church in Cenchrea”. 3 Give my best to Prisca and Aquila; they are not only my colleagues in my profession of tent making, but more...
-
“Self-denial on Behalf of Others”
20 My ambition has always been to preach the Good News where the name of Christ has never been heard, rather than where a church has already been started by someone else. 21 I have been following the plan spoken of in the Scriptures, where Isaiah says that those who have never heard the name of...
-
"Do Not Judge"
Remember, each of us will stand personally before the Judgment Seat of God. 11 For it is written, “As I live,” says the Lord, “every knee shall bow to me and every tongue confess to God.” 12 Yes, each of us will give an account of himself to God.
-
"It's All About Love"
So, why does Paul call for love as a way to fulfill the law instead of directing our focus directly to the law? Well, the short answer has to be, because Paul wants Christ to be glorified as our sin-bearer and our righteousness-provider and our love-enabler through faith alone. Therefore, owe no...
-
"You are Either IN or OUT"
Be all in with your love for people. But Be all in with your hatred of evil.Nothing phony. Nothing half-hearted. Nothing ho-hum about love or hate. Love people zealously. Hate evil zealously.
-
"A Living Sacrifice"
We do not live as before, wrapping ourselves in the world and its bankrupt values. We live in constant renewal and transformation of our minds.
-
"Who Can Argue With Him"
For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be glory forever.” We can’t pay him back because he already owns all we have to give him — including all our efforts.
-
“All You have to do is Say it Lord”
For God’s gifts and His call are irrevocable. [He never withdraws them when once they are given, and He does not change His mind about those to whom He gives His grace or to whom He sends His call.]
-
"Apart From Me You can do Nothing"
The burden of Paul in Romans 11 is the salvation of Israel. Not only "some of them," as it says in verse 14, but in the end the whole people. "A partial hardening has come upon Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. vs 26 And in this way all Israel will be saved"
-
"God Draws Us to Himself
God's purpose in the trespass of Israel is salvation for the Gentiles. And his purpose for the salvation of the Gentiles is to make Israel jealous, so that she (Israel) awakens to the greatness of Christ and embraces her Messiah. And then Paul adds, the purpose of the salvation of all Israel…

"In God's Due Time"
"God has not rejected his people whom he foreknew" (Romans 11:2). My friends, God's word has not fallen short. And if you will trust him and bank on his Son Jesus Christ, all the promises of God for living and dying will be yours and will be unquestionable.
-
"Beautiful Feet"
And how can they believe in him if they have never heard about him? And how can they hear about him unless someone tells them? And how will anyone go and tell them without being sent?
-
"Your Heart Speaks through You're Lips"
That if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation
-
"He is Our Righteousness"
"Wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death? Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord!" He is our righteousness. He is our victory. He has circumcised our hearts. And he is working our sanctification.
-
"The Word Became Flesh"
You see, God’s purpose for the law reaches its climax when the Messiah arrives; now all who trust in Him can have their lives made right with God. Jesus Christ is the Fulfillment of the Law!
-
"The Stone that Causes Change"
Isa 28:16 “Look what I am going to do in Zion. I’ll put in place a stone that makes them stumble, a rock that trips them up, but those who trust in it will not be disgraced”
-
Vessels of Mercy
In his absolute, glorious freedom — “I’ll have mercy on whom I have mercy; I’ll be gracious to whom I’ll be gracious” — he makes known the riches of his glory for the vessels of mercy. That’s verse 23, and that’s the ultimate goal of the universe. Those vessels of mercy are prepared beforehand by...
-
“I am Who I am”
The matter gave great pain to Abraham—after all, Ishmael was his son. But God spoke to Abraham, “Don’t feel badly about the boy Ishmael or about Hagar your maid servant. Do whatever Sarah tells you. Your descendants will come through Isaac. Regarding your maid’s son, be assured that I’ll also...
