When Jesus cursed cities that had seen His miracles and not repented, He said that it would be worse for them than for Gentiles that had not known God. Most religions have some concept of hell and eternal punishment, but we can look directly to what Christ said. In the parable of th...

The third consecutive teaching on Giving and Stewardship. Teaching on The Parable of The Pounds showing that the Lord in the Parable is our Lord Jesus. His command to the servants, "Pragmatize until I come", is without instructions on how to be a good steward. VF-1849 Luke 19:11-27

Starts by asking a rhetorical question: “Would you like a God that’s noncommittal?”  Distinguishes between involvement in the church and commitment to Christ. VF-1842 Luke 9:57-62

The word “desperate” has two meanings in English: the etymological meaning of the hopelessness and the more modern meaning of strongly desiring. Both of these senses occur in several spiritual vignettes in the Bible of people desperate for healing from God. Christians can become hopeless, but wit...

There are only two types of people: those who recognize their need for Christ’s saving power and those who don't. The thief on the cross embodies this. Recognizing that he deserved to die and that Christ did not, he said, “Lord, remember me.” For this simpl...

This is a message of grace. God is not an elitist who associates with some people and not with others. Jesus is still meeting people right where they are, calling them just like He called an outcast named Zacchaeus. VF-2186 Luke 19:1-10

The final message in The Person of the Holy Spirit series. We have a continuous pattern for how to overcome the bondage of the enemy: Walk in the Spirit, be Led by the Spirit, Live in the Spirit, and come under the Rank and File rule of the Spirit. Then the fruit of the Spirit will come forth in us. That fruit is not for display to the world, but fruit that is an acceptable gift...

Some people remain in a state of spiritual infancy and do not come to the maturity required to take the whole counsel of God. Instead, they persecute those who are born in the Spirit, as Ishmael persecuted Isaac. If you walk in the Spirit and are led by Him, you will encounter Ishmaels until the day you die. Recognize that the power of the One who has given you His Spirit is gre...

A look at the history of philosophy paints a sad picture of people becoming bolder through time in criticism of religion. Nevertheless, each would have to admit that everything is transitory. Peter, quoting Isaiah, points this out, however the Word of the Lord endures. The work of the Spirit is to wither our fleshly glory so that we might be possessed by things eternal. VF-2117 ...

Our one true source of hope is the God of Hope. He fills us super-abundantly, through the agent of the Holy Spirit, with the joy and peace that come from Him for our activity of amening. Life wears us down and the devil tries to steal from us anything that comes from God, but we must continue to faithe in anticipation, eagerly expecting these wonderful graces. VF-2116 Romans 15:...

The Holy Spirit helps us in our human condition of weakness when we don't even know "the what" we need and should ask for in prayer.  When we face a circumstance, we cannot even find the words for, the Spirit understands our groani...

We are targets of the devil because of God's Spirit in us, so it is important for us to try the spirits to discern false teaching from the Word of God. We need to look to the Word and learn the sayings of God, carefully wielding the rhemas as a short sword – in defense and offense against the enemy. VF-2113 Ephesians 6:17, 1John 4:1-3

It is much more painful to be badly treated by somebody you love than by a stranger, and the Holy Spirit of God is very close to us, given to us by God to abide in our hearts.  God continues to give second chances, forgiving all sin against the Son, but we are warned that sin against the Spirit is unpardonable.

Zechariah's visions have a New Testament application for our understanding of the work of the Holy Spirit. The imagery of the candlestick shows how God's Spirit illuminates what we are to do in our human responsibility, while He supplies the power that keeps flowing to let us take that light out into a darkened world. God refuses the earthly methods of human might and power for ...

Job seemed to be a very righteous man, but he still had a thousand layers of self that God wanted to remove.  God used a young man named Elihu to deliver His message of chastening, not punishment to Job.  Elihu characterizes the Spirit-filled person: he was his own character, not a copycat; humble, ...

This message lays the foundation for understanding the dimensions of the Holy Spirit's personality. Part of His work is to enlighten our minds about spiritual things, conforming us to the image and likeness of Christ. There is a danger of grieving, extinguishing, or quenching what God is doing by willingly ignoring the conviction that comes by the Holy Spirit. He is a person; ho...

Paul makes four categories of mankind: the natural man, babes in Christ, carnal believers, and spiritual Christians.  The natural man cannot hear the message; the babe in Christ grows, feeding on the sincere milk of the Word; carn...

The difference between a "believer" and a Christian is the presence and power of God's Spirit working in those following Christ.  Standing by a fire will warm a person up, but looking at it from afar will not.

Like those in Corinth, many churches today have elevated spiritual gifts, especially speaking in tongues, as the mark of salvation causing contention and disunity in the body.  Paul corrects this by clarifying that there are diversities of gifts, distributed by the Holy Spirit for the edifying of the church. Some, not all, have particular...
