It is a special thing to feel the fellowship of Jesus Christ in the midst of suffering, particularly persecution and reviling for Christ’s sake. We study further together the proper way that we should respond to reviling for Christ’s and righteousness’ sake, ensuring we respond to those attacks in a God honoring way.

No doubt one of the most clear examples of the upside down (from the world) nature of the kingdom of God is that we can actually be blessed, happy, and rejoice when others persecute and revile us. While no one enjoys reviling, and verbal attacks, it is great opportunity to glorify Jesus Christ by us […]

As we begin studying the sermon on the mount, Jesus begins his sermon with “blessings” upon certain attributes displayed in the kingdom, commonly known as the Beatitudes. There is also much to be gleaned from looking at the negative warnings of these (the “woe’s” as they are put in Luke’s gospel account). Let us lay […]

Jesus said the lawyers had taken away the key of knowledge from many children of God and hindered those who were entering in from pressing fully into the kingdom. We need to press through all the hinderances to our discipleship and take the key of knowledge and enter into the fullness of enjoyment of the […]

In our race of discipleship, we have to run with endurance. Our life is a marathon that requires consistency and steadfastness. We need to lay aside every weight that easily besets us, particularly the yoke of bondage of false doctrine because that will severely hinder our running well. We all get tired and weary in […]

In the beginning of Babylon created by Nimrod, the pinnacle monument of that kingdom was a tower that they desired to build up to heaven. This tower was a monument to man’s pride and rebellion against God – to build a tower to glorify their own name and to validate their own legacy. As with […]

We study the descriptions of how we are to “walk” in our discipleship. To walk as Jesus walked. To walk in love. To walk in the Spirit. To walk circumspectly. To walk worthy of our vocation wherewith we have been called.

What exactly does the Lord say that he requires of his children? To love God with all our heart, soul, and mind. To fear God. To walk in all his ways and commandments. To serve God with all our heart. To do justly. To love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God. Preached at […]
