Staying connected to the Vine
Welcome back to the third segment on fulfilled biblical prophecies. In this segment we transition from the Old Covenant and Gospel writings to Revelation. And one in-particular regarding the seven seals. We have a lot to get into, so let’s get started.
A favorite phrase of Christians is “Without Christmas, there would be no Easter” calling attention to the fact that without […]
Welcome back to the second part of our series on Fulfilled Biblical prophecies. In the first part we looked at the fundamental prophecies surrounding Jesus Christ himself; the ultimate prophecies which enable our very salvation.
And now we’re going to continue with some of the essential prophecies that Jesus mentioned Himself, regarding truths of the gospel.
Welcome to part three of our series on your authority in Christ. We last took a break over the holidays, after seeing how we have divine authority to accept or reject any thought that comes through our mind… I truly hope that meditating on that truth during the holiday break has blessed you, because it’s an extraordinarily powerful truth!
And now, in this segment, we’re continuing along this line to dive deeper into how this power over thoughts manifests and can be used to achieve victory.
Let’s get started!
Welcome back to the second part of Your Authority in Christ.
In the first part we, saw how authority was given to us by God, and how and when it is active. And now we’ll continue by looking at some examples of spiritual authority being used, and answer some further questions and common objections to its use.
Let’s dive in deeper…
May the joy of Christ fill you this and every day, and the gift of His grace and Holy Spirit […]
We’ve spent the previous four studies looking at our relationship with God, and how it touches every aspect of our lives. And now that we understand where we stand, we can move on to the topic of authority.
Authority is another one of those topics that are critical to a successful Christian life, but rarely gets the attention it needs. The scriptures are clear that we have a spiritual enemy, and that we are called to stand in times of attack or pressure. But the scriptures do not call us to stand without any power or recourse.
In truth, Jesus paid a very high price to redeem us, and bring us into a new and better covenant with better promises (Hebrews 8:6) — these promises are not ethereal, nor are they relegated to some unknown future time when we get to heaven. These promises are for here and now when we need them the most. Yet many believers are left completely unaware of all that they have to believe in, due to the aspect of our authority in Christ never being mentioned.
So today we are going to explore the authority Jesus has given to us, for the very purpose of defending and overcoming the spiritual enemy.
Let’s get started!
I wish you all blessing on this Thanksgiving— remembering that in Christ we always have good reason to be thankful, […]
Welcome back again to the fourth installment of our series exploring our relationship with God.
We began by looking at the dynamic between Jesus, the scriptures, and the holy spirit.
Then in part two, we saw the pivotal role that Faith plays in our relationship with God, and how coming to him requires not only that we know his character, but we know our status, as redeemed new creations because of his sacrifice.
Then, in the third part, we begin exploring how understanding our relationship and status in Christ affects our perceptions and how we live day-to-day.
Now, we will continue examining how understanding our new nature in Christ changes even how we approach God in prayer, by looking at specific teachings, and examples shown in the scriptures.
Let’s get started.
Welcome back to the third part of our series on our relationship with God, and what that means and looks like in daily life.
In the previous two segments, we’ve seen the proper distinctions and the dynamic between the scriptures, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit, and how the foundation of our relationship and coming to Jesus, begins with faith— the divine information of who God is, what He has done, and who we are in Him today.
Today, we’re going to build on this foundation by seeing how all of this information fits together to strengthen our relationship with God, and allows us to be in unity with Him.
