By considering the context in John’s gospel where Jesus told His disciples to “abide in Me”, we can better understand what it means to Abide in The Vine. We can get insight into WHY Jesus exhorted His disciples in this way shortly before His arrest, crucifixion, resurrection, and ascension. There...

This teaching is a study of Conversion. Part 1 ~ “Called”, addresses what it means to be “called” – who are called, the nature of the call, answering the call. Part 2 ~ “Changed”, looks at the life-changing experiences with Jesus Christ and the extraordinary things He accomplished in the...

Introduction   Christ is the Head of the Body, the Church. We cannot discern the Body until we first discern the Head. We cannot understand the mystery of the Church until we understand the mystery of Christ. Jesus is building His Church through revelation of Himself. As we pursue the...

Before His ascension, Jesus told His disciples: “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me. Go, therefore, and make disciples….” Since it takes the authority of Christ to make a disciple of Christ, authentic Equipping Ministries will, by nature of the case, share the life of Christ –...

These audio messages are a follow-up to my series entitled “A New & Living Way: An Investigation into New Covenant Worship in Spirit & Truth”.  In the context of the principles examined in that series, these messages approach the subject of “Gathering” – NOT on how we gather, or where...

In the apostle Paul’s epistle to the Ephesians (3:10) we find the calling of the Church – the Ekklesia Jesus is building: “That the manifold wisdom of God might now be made known through the church to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly places.” Scripture reveals the Cross to...

In 1 John 2:15, the apostle John is telling us “Do not love the world….” In his gospel, the same writer is telling us that “God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.” (John...

The subject matter of this message concerns the influence of the Holy Spirit on the human soul during the conversion-regeneration process. By this term, “conversion-regeneration process”, I mean specifically the process of coming to “repentance” and “faith” in Christ, which would be followed by baptism and receiving the gift of...

The keys words in the title give the subject matter. There is a fact which we all must FACE; and that is: the FUTURE is coming. Whether the prognosis is good or bad – whether we want it to come or not – the FUTURE is coming – we must...

The Parable of the Prodigal Son highlights these three aspects of the heart of God the Father: Grief, Compassion, and Generosity. We are called to become like the Father.    

The Holy Spirit is the only One who gives the life of Christ which sustains His Body. (John 6:63; 2 Corinthians 3:6) Jesus told us that the Holy Spirit would “take of what is Mine and declare it to you”. (John 16:13-15) “The fellowship of the Holy Spirit” is people...

Joined to the Cornerstone Knowing &  Experiencing Christ in, and by, and through Sound Doctrine Throughout the Old Testament, we see stones placed as memorials of experiential encounters with the Lord. In the New Covenant also there are foundational “stones”, as it were – foundational experiences of Christ. We need...

Sometimes, we have extraordinary experiences of that which is true, good, and beautiful. At these times, God is letting His glory issue from Himself through an out-raying of His attributes. The response of the human spirit to this manifestation of the glory of God is often tears. 0:00 / 0:00...

Another Look at Consensus in the Church It is currently in vogue in certain movements in the Western Church to criticize church leaders for usurping the Headship of Christ in the Church. I agree that, generally speaking, this is a valid criticism. But, I but would like to also point...

A Witness to the Image of God What political philosophy and what form of government may be best suited for the governance of ALL humanity – fallen and redeemed? More specifically: Is there a political philosophy which is most suited to the biblical worldview? Is there a particular form of...

A Personal Investigation into the Morality of Voting “IN”, but “not OF”. These are the two contexts in which a disciple of Christ lives – IN the world; but not OF the world. (John 17:13-19) For more than two thousand years the Church has struggled to understand what this actually...

In this article, I propose there can be multiple fulfillments of some biblical prophecies: Some can have both a “figurative” meaning, as well as a literal meaning. And some can have both an early fulfillment and an End Time fulfillment. I believe that some biblical prophecies have been fulfilled, are...

Biblical teaching on the normal Christian birth into spiritual life and the normal Christian life of ongoing spiritual growth – a resource for discipleship.

Alienated by Truth So, you’re a devoted disciple of Jesus Christ. Daily, you look out at the world in which you live – you hear what is being said, you see what is being done – and increasingly you are feeling more and more different and separate – even in...

Both the Old and New Testaments instruct us to know and understand God: “Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, let not the mighty man glory in his might, nor let the rich man glory in his riches; but let him who glories glory in this, that he...

Introduction Using the scriptural word picture of The Vineyard of the Lord, this article takes a look at the current condition of the Church. In response to this, it then takes another look at the commission of the Church, addressing various aspects of discipleship all in light of the New...

A Theology of Suffering Sorrow is inescapable. And the following questions found in the hearts and minds of all human beings are equally inescapable: Why is there suffering and sorrow? Why does God allow it? Why do “good” people suffer?  The Scriptures offer rational answers to these “inescapable questions”. “Walking...

“The weakness of God” – this is, indeed, a captivating phrase penned by Paul the apostle in his letter to the Church. (1 Corinthians 1:25)  This “weakness” is God’s chosen “methodology” from “before the foundation of the world – in “the Lamb slain” (Revelation 13:8), in His choice of Israel...

The title of this message is a question found in Psalm 24: “Who is this King of Glory?” In Matthew’s gospel we find Jesus asking a question of His disciples: “Who do people say that I am?” And a little later in Matthew’s gospel, Jesus is coming into the city...

In this message, we will be reading through the story of Jesus and the Samaritan woman at the well, as it is recorded in the 4th chapter of John’s gospel.  Our goal is to learn more about being true worshipers – those who worship in spirit and truth – because...

Those who are “born of God” (John 1:13) have an identity in Christ which is not derived from race or nationality, nor from family or culture, nor our own ingenuity. This is a birthright which comes only when we receive Christ as the One Isaiah called our “Eternal Father” (Isaiah...
