Have you seen God?
People have all kinds of ideas of what God is like. Most make their assumptions from personal experience or what religion tells them. But what many fail to realize is that Jesus came to show us God. Jesus IS God in the flesh, manifested to show humanity the nature and character of God. John 14:7 …
Faith and Sovereignty
How do we balance our faith with God’s sovereign will? God’s will in our lives, and in the earth do NOT automatically come to pass. Am I saying God is not sovereign? No, not at all. However, some people in their effort to explain away tragedy, loss and sickness, attribute characteristics to God and call …
Faith is the bridge to God’s grace
Sometimes when talking about faith, people get the idea that you’re trying to “get God to do something.” This could not be further from the truth. Faith is simply believing whatever God has already said in His Word. Jesus IS this Word. During His earthly ministry, He demonstrated God’s will for us, and through His …
Victory Victory Victory!
Because of Jesus, WE have victory! Nothing in ourselves could produce it. Not our behavior, sincerity or desire.

We have the victory
God, in His sovereignty, gave the earth to man to rule and have authority over. He also gave us His free will so we could choose to do this on our own, through a dependent relationship with Him. When man chose independence from God, we all became unplugged from the source of God’s life. Now …
Believing to receive- The Foundational principles of faith
Understanding biblical faith is vital because God’s will for us doesn’t automatically happen. Everything done for us by grace, just like our initial salvation, has to be received by faith. But if we don’t understand the principles of faith, we won’t be able to appropriate what God has given us. Let’s look at what the …
Salvation- Christ in you
Salvation: More than a decision Did you know, being a Christian begins with a decision on your part, but is carried out by the Holy Spirit? Spiritual life begins with spiritual birth, given by God through faith in Jesus Christ. Ephesians 2:8-9 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it …
