Being Offended

Greetings in the name of the Lord! I know I haven't sent anything out lately but this is what I have been feeling for a couple of weeks now. Thank you all for reading my material and I pray each of you will be blessed with this. Love

Introduction to “Into His Marvelous Light”

Introduction to the bible study. Into His Marvelous Light This study is short but packed with a lot of information. Lots of questions and lots of answers we are looking for. The bible is a complex book that calls us to study. We are required by God to learn more

I’m Desperate!

What is the definition of desperation? Being desperate means feeling a strong, often urgent, need or desire, sometimes to the point of recklessness or despair. Essentially, it describes a state of intense wanting and a feeling that one's needs are not being met. How often do we feel

He’s still working on me!

Yesterday as I made my way to our evening church service, the Lord begin to show me things in the Spirt.  It was things that were super simple yet so profound. I was reminded that my Creator is still working to shape me and refine me.  The scripture that came

I MUST BE A PARTAKER

2 Timothy 1:6-9 AMP 6 That is why I remind you to fan into flame the gracious gift of God, [that inner fire—the special endowment] which is in you through the laying on of my hands [with those of the elders at your ordination]. 7 For God

Final “What is Truth?”

This will be the final post of the “What is Truth” series. It will be a little long but I feel the need to complete it today.  I have had this Bible study for several years and really like how it is put together. As I arrange it, adding my

The Message of Salvation

As we continue this study about “What is Truth?”, we start with the question. Who was given the message of salvation to preach?  Matthew 16:13-19… 13 When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son

The Authority of God’s Word

Let’s talk about the authority of God’s Word.   2 Timothy 3:16…16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness. God himself really wrote the Bible through men. That’s why it never contradicts

What is Truth?

Have you ever pondered the age old question WHAT IS TRUTH? I mean really questioned God about the truth in His Word?  Personally, I have read the Bible several times all the way through and still find it hard to put it all together. My memory isn’t so good

Being Offended by Jesus Christ

I can’t get away from the thought of being offended. I am consumed with thoughts of  people in the Bible that were offended by Jesus. It is so hard to imagine being in His presence and being offended by His words but it happened! Truthfully it continues to  happen

When Offense Comes

I have been pondering “offenses”. Offenses are very powerful feelings that cause us to build walls and set, sometimes, lifelong boundaries to keep out those that have, either on purpose or inadvertently, offended us.  We all have been offended but how we handle those feelings set us apart from others.

The Path to Covenant Relationship with Jesus Christ

The question was asked what does the Bible mean to you? There are many answers to that question. Some say it is just a book of history. Others say it’s not meant to be taken literal, the stories are just that… stories. Then there are those that believe some

After the Resurrection

Greetings in the name of the Lord!  I have been contemplating on this next writing all week. Of course, we all know the story of how Jesus died and rose again but I have been thinking about when He walked the earth just before His ascension.  Jesus spent 40 days

Good Friday

We all know the story of Jesus being arrested, led before Pilate, being scourged with a whip called the cat of nine tails. He was so severely beaten that the flesh hung from His body. He was unrecognizable. The crown of thorns pierced his brow and He was hung on

Jesus Betrayed by Judas

(Matt. 26:47-56; Mark 14:43-52; John 18:1-11 ) 47 ¶ And while he yet spake, behold a multitude, and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them, and drew near unto Jesus to kiss him. 48 But Jesus said unto him, Judas, betrayest

Covenant Relationship #11

Greetings in the name of the Lord! Today we are going to talk about Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane. Luke 22:39 And he (Jesus) came out, and went, as he was wont, to the mount of Olives; and his disciples also followed him. This scripture is pretty straightforward

Covenant Relationship #10

Greetings in the name of the Lord! This month is the month of Easter. I feel to concentrate on the events that lead up to the crucifixion. This is such a powerful true story that demonstrates the love Jesus Christ has for us. Do any of us have a friend

Covenant Relationship #9

Greetings in the name of the Lord! I feel compelled to talk more about repentance. Ezekiel 18 20 The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous

Covenant Relationship #8

In Jesus’ earthly ministry He made it clear that He wanted a to be more in covenant relationship than ever before. He spoke in parables that the people would understand the importance of His word. Some folks believed but most rejected Him. Matthew 22:14 (KJV) For many are called,

Covenant Relationship #7

I know it seems we aren’t talking about being in Covenant relationship anymore but I can assure you we are still studying it. When Jesus came to earth as a common man he performed miracles that no one had ever seen before. He told stories (parables) that no one

Covenant Relationship #6

Jesus was born of a virgin. He was without sin. He came to be the ultimate sacrifice for our sin. Not to just roll our sins forward but to literally cover them with His blood, never to be remembered again! He came with a plan. The religion of that day

Covenant Relationship #5

Jesus came to this earth for you and me. Luke 19:9-10 Jesus said “Salvation has come to your house today. For the Son of man is come to seek and save that which was lost.” The religious leaders of that day couldn’t understand what was happening. They

Covenant Relationship #4

The Old Testament has many prophecies telling of the coming of the Messiah. Isaiah 7:14, Isaiah 9:6, Isaiah 53. God knew from the beginning of time that Jesus would be that Messiah. God needed to establish truth because He knew we as humans need proof. Matter of fact,

Covenant Relationship #3

As we continue our study about Covenant relationship with Jesus Christ we wonder why we would start in the Old Testament. Why do I need to know about the Old Testament? It actually is very simple. The events in the old testament led up to / set the stage for the
