Back to Basics: Coming to Rest
The Lord Jesus's first call was to rest from all burdens of life. When we choose to come to Him, He gives us rest from sin and the world system. However, Jesus calls again to learn of Him. Once you've learned to be like Him you receive a secondary rest. The second rest is rest for our souls in...
-
Back to Basics: Mysteries in the Mountain
Jesus went up on a mountain to teach but not everyone followed. Only those who were disciples did. Our discipleship begins once we've chosen to lay down conveniences and excuses to follow Him. You cannot be a disciple and never go up to meet the Lord. The multitude stayed at the ground level and...
-
Back to Basics: A Disciple's Commission
What is the assignment of a disciple? It is simply to produce, make, and birth more disciples. This is our call. It is not to have fun church services, or relaxing vacations. It is to bring more people into the yoke of Christ. We are also commanded to baptize in the name of the Father, Son, and...
-
Back to the Basics: Being with Jesus
Every person called into discipleship is first called to be with Jesus. Many want to come into discipleship for things, gifts and anointings. A gift will not last if you do not have the life to sustain it. It is not to preach or do works, but to sit down at the feet of Jesus and learn of Him.…

Back to Basics: Yoked with Christ
After a person has come into Christ they receive rest. Jesus gives rest to every person who has chosen to come to Him. Rest isn't all that He wants us to receive. The next step is for us to come into a discipleship relationship with Jesus. In this relationship we find rest for our souls. It is…

Back to Basics: Levels of Learning
There are levels of learning that every child of God must enter into. The first is blade level. This is the most basic stage and focuses on 'understanding'. What a child of God understands from the Word of God is dictated on their understanding of the scripture. At this stage a person must pursue...
-
Back to Basics: Heirship
A lack of conformity leads to a lack of spiritual growth. As we are conformed into the image of Christ we begin the process into heirship. If we are children of God, then we are children of Light. If you are not living a life of light, then you are not a legitimate son. It is what comes out of…
more -
Back to Basics: Spirit to Spirit
Coming into the kingdom of God we are baptized into Christ's body. Our dead spirit is made alive by the Holy Spirit. With a newly quickened spirit we can communicate and fellowship with God the Father. Unless this quickening happens, one's spirit is totally unresponsive to anything of the spirit...
-
Back to Basics
Let's go back to the basics of Christ. In Romans 8:29 we are told that our goal is to be conformed to the image and likeness of Christ Jesus. With this goal in mind, we must align our lives and pursue this if we want to achieve God's will. Discipleship starts at this junction: conformity. Jesus…

Spiritual Dryness pt3
How do we get out of spiritual dryness? We must first be deliberate. No complacent man can get out of a dry place. Without a deliberate commitment to be delivered you will not come out of spiritual dryness. The second way to come out is to forsake where you are. You must repent and turn back to…
more -
Spiritual Dryness pt2
The first thing we must monitor is what brought us into such a dry place. The causes of spiritual dryness can be independence, disobedience, busyness, and sin. We enter into these usually deliberately. When in spiritual dryness it can seem like God isn't hearing us, but in reality, He may be...
-
Spiritual Dryness
The dryness of a desert lacks the moisture of rain. Sometimes this can be our lives spiritually. In the midst of trials and tribulations it can seem like God is a far off. What do we do in these situations, and how do we handle them? You know that you're in a period of dryness when there's no...
-
God's Testimony about You
What is God's testimony about you? For Abraham it was that He was a faithful man. He trusted in God's promise for himself and his family. Is was that he commanded his children after the Lord. A true father leads his family into Christ Himself. He directs his wife and children to know God for...
-
An Approved Life
Study to show yourself approved of God! An approved life is one that is yielded completely to God. Everything about our lives, private or public, ought to be pleasing to God. An approved life is a subject that many fail to emphasize causing many to wander in deceit. The Word you are to receive…
more -
A Worthy Walk
How is your walk with the Lord? Is it worthy? Have you taken the correct steps to make sure that how you are walking is acceptable to Him? If not, then how can we call ourselves followers. The three components of every walk are fruitfulness, acceptability, and knowledge of Him. Join us for this...

Rooted, Built up, Established: Our Identity
jProper Identity in Christ is based on how we grow. Since everything produces after its own kind we must become like Christ if others around us will be like Him. For unrighteous seeds will grow an unrighteous tree that will produce unrighteous fruit. The quality of life is equivalent to the…
more -
Rooted, Built up, Established: A Lively Stone
Why is being built up so important? It is the only way to be a proper stone for God to build with. We aren't being built up for show but for God to use to build his church. The church, believers in Christ, is what Jesus is coming back for when He returns. He isn't looking for men who haven't...
-
Rooted, Built up, Established: Receiving Him
We must regulate our lives to His pattern after we've received Him. Receiving Christ is more than just having Him and living the same way. Receiving Him should push you into a growing into the ways of Christ. You receive Him through a conviction in the heart from the Holy Spirit through the…
more -
Rooted, Built Up, Established: Being Built
The foundation of a man's life determines how high in God he will go. The godly are properly built up on the foundation of Christ. Now that we've been rooted in Christ, we must be built up on Him. However, no man can built spiritual things on the life of the old sinful nature. To be built up…
more -
Rooted, Built Up, Established: A Rooted Life
Your root life is what sustains and produces one's lifestyle. You cannot live contrary to how rooted you are in Christ. Being rooted is foundational to the building of one's faith and life in Christ. Since coming into the new creation does not make one automatically righteous, we must take time…
more -
Rooted, Built up, Established: Rooted to be Built
As we continue in our series about being rooted, built up and established it's important to look at our root life. The consequences of not being rooted in God is that you will not be able to be built up. Our roots have to sink down deep in God that He might be able to build the life of Christ in...
-
Rooted, Built Up, Established: One's Likeness
Likeness equals the kind of life you'll build. Who you are is a reflection of how well you've built yourself on the rock of Christ or the sand of the world. As we look at being built the examination of our likeness is important. To be as a wise man requires one to hear God's Word and obey.…
more -
Rooted, Built Up, Established: The Lordship of Jesus
The Lordship of Jeus is how we need to regulate our life. Is Jesus Lord over your life? Does He have full control? Have you fully surrendered yourself to Him? To be steadfast in Christ requires Him being our Lord. Through the process of discipleship can our lives be properly shepherded by Christ....
-
Rooted, Built Up, Established: Bearing Fruit
Every fruit is determined by its fruit. Last episode we talked about the importance of being rooted and digging deep. Digging it important so that God's Word can take effect in our heart: bearing fruit. We must establish ourselves to a point where God can expect good fruit from our lives. We…
more -
Rooted, Built Up, Established: Being Planted
Before anything can be rooted it must first be planted. Being planted in Christ comes with first God having encountered your life so that His seed can be put in you. Without the seed, that comes by hearing the Word, being planted in our relationship with God has not officially started. Being…

Marriage: Bone of my Bone
After the man is made and brought to his task, God puts the man to sleep to prepare the woman. This 'sleeping' in Genesis 2 is a change in focus from the man to the 'wo-man'. The man is 'off the scene' and God is preparing the woman to come forth out of him. It is after this that the woman is...
-
Marriage: The Rib
Every man that God has made He designed a helper for him. The woman in Genesis 2 was made to be a suitable, adaptable, help to the assignment that God instructed the man to do. All wives are first to be made from the man. The woman is made to be the strength to the man's weakness, providing what...
-
Marriage: The Production of Wine
All marriages are designed to produce wine. Wine is the fruitful production of the life of Christ operating in and through a marriage. In John 2 when Jesus was at the wedding in Cana the couple had run out of wine. If it wasn't for Jesus intervening the festivities that were planned would have…

The Mystery of Christ
Christ in us, the hope of glory is the biggest mystery that we as believers have yet to come into a full knowledge or understanding of. How can this "Christ" in us help us in our marriages and with our homes? It is this mystery that believers are stewards and ambassadors of. If we have this...
-
Marriage: God's Mystery
Has the mystery of the family been revealed to you? Marriage is a great mystery says the bible; therefore, God must entrust us with this mystery by His choosing. Many think that just because they are married that God has revealed the mystery tp them. Many marriages and households struggle today...
-
A House Build on Jesus
As we continue out study on what is required to build a goldy household we cannot forget to mention the importance of building. It is the man that is supposed to build and establish the foundation of the family though his relationship with God. If the house doesn't start with the man building it,...
-
God: Builder of Every House
Who is building your house? Is it you or God? God is to be the builder of every house in order for it to be a godly home. No house can truly be called a home except it has a lamb (Christ). This is how God's blessing comes upon all those in the house. For the curse of the Lord is upon the…
more -
A Lamb for Every House
This week we are coming back to the devil's biggest target of God's children: the home. When the home is divided, ungodly, and independently out of God's will it is easier for the enemy to bring destruction to the family and the land. Deception comes from an unestablished home, a home with no…

The New Man: Renewed in Knowledge
After putting off the old man we come into the new man! In order to do this we must put on the new man. Christianity does not start until we put on the 'new'. The new creation man is renewed in every aspect of living. This included logic, understanding, grace, and knowledge. In order to make…
more -
Putting on the New Self
After and only after you have taken off the old man can you now put on the new man. The new creation life now has no dealings with the actions, thoughts, feelings, and logic of the old life. Our lives as believers should reflect this transition from old to new! As the new creation we are chosen…
more -
Putting Off the Old Man
Coming into the new life requires taking off more than just our sins. It requires us taking off the producer of our sins: the old man. The old man is the inherit nature that every person is born with. This nature is the primary producer of a life opposite of God. So, if we are all born with this...
-
Understanding the New Creation
The new creation life is what every Christian is supposed to be living. This life is the life of Christ in a believer after coming to repentance. This life is learned! Christ life is not automatic. As believers if you have yet to learn Christ then you have yet to live out the 'Christian' life! In...
-
Align with the Father
The eyes are one of the most important parts of the body. Yet it is the most deceived part! If we do not allow the Lord to help our eyes to see Him then we won't be able to follow Him correctly. We must be able to see as the Father sees so that we can do what He wants only! When our eyes are off...
-
The Focus of Every Local Fellowship
What should be every church's focus? Unity. By having the same speech and mindset it makes it easier for the Holy Spirit to operate in the local fellowship. Division is what hinders the Holy Spirit from moving in the house of God. Divisions and factions are the reason why we have so many...
-
Miracle Working Power of Jesus
What is your expectation of what God can do in your life? Without an expectation that God can move He will refuse to do so on your behave. In the days of old we see the disciples doing miracles by using the name of Jesus. However, it wasn't just the name, they had a life to back up the name that...
-
A Listening Ear
How we hear the Word of God is crucial to how we are able to walk out the new creation life. If we fail to hear and understand the truth that is being taught, then it will be hard to follow. Hearing alone isn't enough. In Mark 4 it talks about how we need to give thought and study to what we are...
-
Risen with Christ
Have you been risen with Christ? Christ's resurrection isn't just for our enjoyment but also for our engagement. Being raised with Christ means that we have died to the old life. If you have not died, then there's no way that you can live out the new creation life. Join us this week as we study…
more -
A Glorified Life
There was only one life that the Father God was pleased with: Jesus. If are our lives are not being conformed to his image daily, then our 'religion of Christianity is in vain. We must come back to the basics of a life that God can be pleased with and glorify. Only through the cross can we be…
more -
The Heart and Conscience
In today's episode we will be studying the commandment that Paul instructed Timothy to have back in Ephesus. Paul instructed him to have a pure heart and a good conscience in order to keep from being deceived. These are spiritual characteristics that we sometimes lack in the body of Christ. Since...
-
Don't Worrying about Worry
What is it that you worry about? Money, cars, houses? "Worry not about your life"! This is Jesus' commandment to his disciples. Maybe you worry because you haven't left all to follow Him. Perhaps you worry because your mind has convinced you that God cannot provide for his children. If God is...
-
A Defiled Life
Defilements, impediments, are words that describe things in our lives that pollute our relationship with God. If you have defiled life then nothing in your life can ever be pure. Join us as we discuss the life of the defiled and how it can keep you from stepping into the will and purpose that God...
-
Sound Doctrine
The fastest way to detour from the faith is to not come into a completeness of the truth. There are three things that can corrupt our purity in Christ: another Jesus, another spirit and another gospel. These three components are usually taught and shared to soothsay than they are to help...
-
The Ministry of Jesus
Jesus was designed to carry out the will of God. What about you? On Earth we have failed to recognize what our role on Earth is. In Isaiah 61 Jeus was sent to those who were brokenhearted, blind and in need of healing. As disciples we are to continue on in his ministry for this is the way to…
