Welcome again to the fourth part of our series about feeding on Jesus — dining on the Banquet of Christ.
Previously, we explored the final portions of Jesus’ parable of the banquet, and his words following that story, which are often presented in a legalistic way, and I shared an example of how this can be applied in daily life today.
Today, we continue my examining another story, this time, the story of the manna in the wilderness during the Israelite’s exodus from Egypt. Let’s get started.
Welcome again to our series on Dining on the Banquet of Christ. In the last episode, we looked more into the parable of the banquet, and how each of the excuses from the invited guests, presented an image of an attitude of rejection against Jesus.
So now let’s examine the final few parts of Jesus’ parable, and savor more of what He is telling His listeners, and us.
Welcome back to our series on feeding on Jesus, or as I’ve titled it, Dining on the Banquet of Christ. Because it truly is a feast.
Now without any further delay, let’s get into part 2, of dining on the banquet of Christ. Before the break, we looked at the parable of the banquet feast, and how in a very strange manner, all of the invited guests began to make excuses, and we began to think about why the invitees would make excuses.
Hello and welcome to our first series of 2025! At the close of 2024, we hinted […]
Welcome back to the second part of our series on Christian boredom. This is a phenomenon that nearly every believer will experience at some point, and it can cause a great deal of anxiety if we don’t understand what is going on.
In part one of this series, we dealt with the fear that being bored and not wanting to engage in typical Christian behaviors such as studying the Bible, indicates a lack of true salvation — a very legitimate concern for many who experience this kind of boredom, and if this describes you, I would definitely encourage you to view that study.
Now in this second part, we will look at what causes Christian boredom, and what we can do about it.
Hello, and Happy Thanksgiving Day to those who are celebrating. During this time, it’s customary for […]
Do you remember the excitement of being a new Christian? The thrill of learning new things, realizing truths about Jesus you’ve never known, and seeing details you’ve never seen before?
It’s incredibly compelling, and motives believers to continue the journey of spiritual growth onwards. But what happens when this spiritual honeymoon phase ends? What happens when the normalcy of life comes calling once again and what was once new and enthralling becomes rote and routine?
In short, what happens when we get plain bored?
Over the years, there have been times where the spark of reading scripture just wasn’t there, things felt dry and dead, and I didn’t see any growth, or amazing transformation. In those times, the temptation to simply walk away was high. How does someone combat Christian boredom?
Well, let’s explore this together.
Welcome back to the third part of our series on Lies, deceptions, and commonly held beliefs that often hinder us from abiding in Christ. So far, we’ve seen how the church today, is not a building, but rather the collection of people united in Christ Jesus.
We also saw how good works are a product of a regenerated life produced by the Holy Spirit, and not a means to salvation.
Today, we’re going to be looking at sin and confession — and more specifically, the lies surrounding these concepts. While both sin and confession are essential elements in Christianity, it’s very easy to get them twisted, especially with so much confusion surrounding them.
Welcome again to our series on abiding in Christ, and specifically the many lies that try to hinder us from this marvelous position.
In part one, we examined the lie of God’s House; how contrary to popular opinion, and Christian vernacular, God’s House is not a physical building, and “the church” is not the four walls that believers gather inside. Rather, the church is the body of believers themselves, unified in Christ Jesus, as members of His flesh and bone (Ephesians 5:30).
Today, we will continue examining the lies that seem to permeate Christian vernacular, and try to keep us from abiding in Christ, as we scrutinize the lie of serving. We have a lot to get into, so let’s get started.
There’s a lot of theologies in the world today. Among Christians there’s countless denominations, sub-divisions, and categories. So which one is right, if any?
When you stand before God, He’s not going to ask you which denomination you belong to, which version of the Bible you prefer, only one question will matter… Are you in Christ?
Now, the phrase being in Christ, is interpreted different ways by people, but the only thing that really matters is how being in Christ is defined in scripture; not a man’s opinion, not a human theology, not a doctrine of demons.
Today, let’s explore what being in Christ actually means, and dispel some of the falsehoods associated with the gospel.
