As Christians, how should we treat the nation of Israel? This is not as popular as it should be, but the short answer is, “Just like you would treat anyone else.”

Well, That Church Is Better Than Nothing, Right?
Length: 5 minutes
You may see someone going to church, hear them speak about God or Jesus and think, “Well, they may not be hearing the best teaching at their church, but at least it’s better than nothing.” But that’s not necessarily true.

What You Fear Isn’t Real – Part 2: Open Eyes
Length: 10 minutes | Download >
In our last part, we showed that Jesus delivered us from everything we could be afraid of. Therefore, if we are still afraid, we are only afraid because of what we’re not seeing of Jesus’ provision. That is a universal truth that applies to every person, in every situation. You are not the exception. People only fear because of what they’re not seeing about Jesus. That is the only source (Isaiah 26:3).

What You Fear Isn’t Real – Part 1
Length: 12 minutes | Download >
Some people say that fear is an acronym for “False Evidence Appearing Real.” But that’s not necessarily so. The evidence you’re looking at may be very real. What isn’t real is your interpretation of the evidence. I can prove that to you from scripture.

Aliens!: The Truth About Extra-Terrestrial Life
Length: 6 minutes
In recent years, talk about aliens and UFOs has come up a lot. What does the Bible actually say about these things? A lot of people assume that if we really discovered there is intelligent life out there in the universe, this would crush people’s faith and discount the Bible. But not so. Actually, all the contrary. If we didn’t believe in aliens, we wouldn’t be believing the Bible. The Bible just doesn’t use the word aliens.

A Prayer Regarding The Love Of God
God’s love is not understood merely by the words, “I love you.” God wanted to demonstrate His love toward us so that we would never doubt the love He has for us. It was not only in word but in deed (Romans 5:8). So today, I want you to read the following questions to the Lord yourself. All these questions are about portions of the inheritance that Jesus has given us through His sacrifice.

Sinning Doesn’t Leave Believers Vulnerable To The Devil
Length: 11 minutes
People often believe that if a Christian sins, that leaves them susceptible to the Devil, to bring trouble or sickness into your life. While I don’t agree with sin, if that is true, none of us have any surety of protection.

Yes, It Does Change What You Did
Length: 8 minutes
We’ve spoken a lot about how Jesus makes us righteous, blameless, and free from guilt (Colossians 1:22). I would encourage you to get a thorough training in those truths. But sometimes, even when you know these things, if you do something wrong, you still have a nagging negative emotion. What is that?

Strengthen That Weary Soul!

Ministering Is Easy When You Know Jesus Affects Everything

If God Just Showed Up, I’d Believe
Length: 10 minutes
There is this line of thinking that says, “If God wants to be known, why doesn’t He just manifest spectacularly in physical form to prove Himself? If He showed up spectacularly, I would believe.” But this logic is leaving out a very important detail.

You Know Who You Are When He Says “I am…”
Length: 5 minutes
If you didn’t know, Jesus became your old man at the cross (Romans 6:6) so that you could be exactly as He is today. In fact, a believer is so much like Jesus, the Bible calls Him your mirror. That means when you see Jesus, you’re seeing what you look like.

It’s About The Communion, Not The Community
Length: 5 minutes
I have heard many people that have either given up on their faith or backed off of seeking the Lord. Many, if not most of them, say that it’s because of betrayal or hypocrisy that they see in the church. But we are missing something if we are leaving God because of something one of His kids did. How would you feel if someone left you because of something someone else did?

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.”

Your New Normal – Part 3: I’m Not Surprised
Length: 8 Minutes
When God speaks to you about who you are in Christ, those realities will become so normal in your mind that when they manifest, it won’t even surprise you. You’ve been seeing that reality for a long time! So much so, by the time your eyes see it on the outside, your mind has already become accustomed to it on the inside.

Your New Normal – Part 2
Length: 6 Minutes
You are no longer like the world. You have a “new normal” through Jesus. Now God wants to normalize those things in your mind. Things like raising the dead, being young and healthy, being pure and guilt free, having complete rest from your work, knowing the future, and having an excess of physical resources – whether you believe it or not, these things are already normal for you.

The Menu
Length: 15 Minutes
These are amongst the most fundamental things to understand about receiving from God. To most people, what God does or doesn’t do in their life is mysterious and unpredictable at best. People will use God’s sovereignty as an excuse to say that He will essentially do anything, at any time, and we don’t know what He’s going to do next.

Your New Normal
Length: 4 Minutes
We live in a world full of “you touch the stove, you burn your hand,” “you fall down, you skin your knee,” “everybody has problems,” “nobody knows everything,” “nobody’s perfect,” “everybody dies.” These things are held as more than just normal in this world. These things are held as common sense. But if these things are also normal to the church, then in this life, what’s the point of being a new creation? Are we just a version of the world with better morals?

Did I Not Say To You? (Resurrection Handbook – Part 20)

The Purpose Of Prayer (Resurrection Handbook – Part 18)
Length: 8 Minutes
It’s funny, we will pray for the sick sometimes, as believers, but the second someone dies we usually throw up our hands and think, “Well, we tried.” But there’s no difference between raising the dead and healing the sick. One is not harder than the other. They’re both things Jesus provided for, both situations that need life, and both things that we can pray for just the same.

Be Still, Just Know (Resurrection Handbook – Part 17)
Length: 7 Minutes
We need to normalize things like resurrection in our minds. That’s what the Bible would call “the renewal of your mind.” And as simple as that is, that’s how people get raised.

Their Spirit Is Doing Great (Resurrection Handbook – Part 15)
Length: 8 Minutes
It’s always God’s will to give life to people. Thanks to Jesus, raising the dead is as simple as waking someone from sleep. That’s excellent news, but we should also know: Even while a believer’s body is still sleeping, their spirit has never been better! They have only changed locations.
