Keep Running And Thrive
Length: 8 Minutes
Many times, believers look at things they’ve done in their life and think they’ve messed everything up. Or they look at some hardship they’ve experienced and feel they’ll never recover. Or they may have gotten off track and feel like everyone has left them behind, forgotten. The truth is, if you’ll take the gospel and believe it, you can thrive no matter what has happened.

Easy Verses: The Influence Of The Devil With A Christian
Here are some simple scriptures to prove that the devil does not control the mind or body of a believer. The devil cannot possess a believer. He can work in those who don’t believe, and even more so, in those who don’t understand the gospel at all.

The Answer To Pride And Guilt Is The Same
Length: 5 Minutes | Download>
Most everyone sees pride as an emotion that is built on self-reliance, but guilt is just the same. Pride is just self-reliance with the belief that you’re succeeding. Guilt is self-reliance with the belief that you’re failing. Both are self-reliance which we need to trade for Jesus-reliance.

The Golden Goose: The Solution To Seeking Worldly Things
Length: 8 Minutes
Sometimes, even though we know that we should be meditating on Jesus, our minds can get caught up, chasing after the so-called “good things” of this life.

Let Go Of The Things That Make You Poor
Length: 10 Minutes
God is not asking us for any payment for the things He’s given, but when things hinder our knowledge of Jesus, those are things we should certainly let go of — not as if we’re offering it to God, but for our own sake. Trust me, when you give something up to know Jesus more, you’re not making a sacrifice. You’re letting go of the things that make you poor, for a Wisdom that wants to make you rich.

Don’t Change Your Words. Change Your Thinking.
Length: 7 Minutes
Confession is very misunderstood in the church today. It’s either dismissed or it’s taught as the means by which we receive from God. Confession is important, but not because of what it is, but because of what it indicates.

It Is God Who Works In YOU (Not From The Outside In)

He No Longer Holds You To That Standard
Length: 7 Minutes
Many years ago, I started learning about how forgiven and righteous I was through Jesus. It was an amazing revelation. I finally felt clean and presentable before the Lord. Whenever I did something wrong, I would remember how righteous the Lord had made me. While that was an unspeakable consolation to me, something was missing, and I didn’t know what it was.

Being A Slave Means It’s Easy (Righteousness And Life)
Length: 12 Minutes
If you were to read Romans 5-7 (and a bit of chapter 8) you would find words like “reign, slave, dominion, captivity, and law (as in a governing authority).” There are a lot of words describing a slave/master relationship. That’s because, before we knew Jesus, we were slaves to sin and death. Those were the two things that came through Adam. Likewise, we now have a new slavery to righteousness and life – the opposite of what Adam enslaved us to. Romans 5 calls it “righteousness and grace.”

Being “On Fire For God” Does Not Equal Knowledge
Length: 7 Minutes
There is a term in the church today — “on fire for God.” Ultimately, this is a term that is used for someone when they are extremely enthusiastic about God; often accompanied by a lot of very fast and visible results. While I’m not trying to dissuade anyone from being excited about the Lord, mere enthusiasm is not what we should be looking for in a person.

I Want To Start My Own Ministry
Length: 8 Minutes
When a believer really starts digging their teeth into the knowledge of Jesus, it produces such an excitement and zeal that almost immediately, on its heels, is the desire for a Bible school degree, a position in the church, or even their own ministry. Let’s talk through all these emotions.

Righteousness Doesn’t Allow It To Stick
Length: 9 Minutes
Amongst the most foundational things that you can know about death, hurt, aging, or the common cold (it’s all the same thing), is that these things are only in the world because of Adam’s sin. That’s right. It’s only in the world because of sin… that very thing that you’re cleansed of!
