You Don't Need To Speak In Tongues: Real Fake News Final Pt.

The people of the OT experienced the presence of God through a priest, the Ark of the Covenant and animal sacrifices. When Jesus Christ arrived, He came with a promise... A promise that HIS Spirit would no longer just be WITH us but IN us.  John 3:1-8 - The key point in this whole story is that Jesus called Nicodemus and us to be born again. Acts 1:4-8 - This Holy Spirit baptism would come with power and that power would give them the ability to share the story of God. This actually take...

Satan knows if he can hinder your prayer life, he has a greater chance of leading you to believe another lie, and farther away from God.   John 8:44- …He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him…   Prayer should come from the mind and the mouth!   Luke 8:40-43- Prayer is communication.   Luke 8:44-48- The beauty of the immediate.   Luke 8:49- Don’t bother Jesus.   Luke 8:50-53- Jesus walks past the doubt, fear, unbelief,...

God Hates You: The Real Fake News Pt.1

One of the biggest lies Satan sells is, “GOD HATES YOU”. New York Times ran a fascinating article called “Googling for God.” The question that came in at number three: “Why does God hate me?” “Wrong conclusions” become reality and the lie of the enemy takes on the dark colors of pain, rejection, revenge, and even self-hatred.   John 3:16  In the parable of the Good Samaritan, Jesus is the unlikely one who came to bring healing and hope.  Romans 5:8    ANNOUNCEMENTS  YOUTH CAMP– There...

The Final part of our series about the book of Exodus "A Slow March To Freedom." Exodus 10 Notes   Exodus 32:7-14 Dallas Willard says:   God's "response" to our prayers is not a charade. He does not pretend that he is answering our prayer when he is only doing what he was going to do anyway. Our requests really do make a difference in what God does or does not do. The idea that everything would happen exactly as it does regardless of whether we pray or not is a specter that haunts the ...
