In this episode I look at how righteousness is defined by the dictionary, the Bible, God and people of the world.

It's eye opening truth.

I preached this a couple of years ago, but just added to it and preached it again. There is tremendous good news for those of us who fail, falter, and faint. When we doubt God's love for us, we can find faith strengthening truth in what God says about Himself and about us. 

A little yeast permeates the entire loaf of bread. So it is with merit, performance legalism and Religionist. 

We look at the word and testimony of Christ, which John was instructed to communicate, the consistency with the rest of Scripture we should expect to find in The Revelation, and the seven blessings The Revelation promises.

I spend some time here speaking about the enemy's schemes that hobble God's children and make us feel in effective. There is great freedom in Christ Jesus. 

You'll pardon (or perhaps appreciate) my use of the KJV here. That was audience specific.

Setting the stage for our study and giving an overview of the book of Revelation. 

This is a significantly updated version of an earlier teaching on this passage. You'll pardon (or perhaps appreciate) my use of the KJV here. That was audience specific.

Grace and Spiritual Fruit

Finishing Galatians Chapter 5, learn that we are not under the law, but under grace and we discover some of the beautiful ramifications of that. How can we know the Spirit is in us and we are in the Spirit? How do we bear spiritual fruit? 

We are not tasked with revealing deeper knowledge leading to great spiritual maturity. We need not master convoluted doctrines and back them up with unassailable logic. On the contrary, as ministers of the New Covenant, we do not need to have an agenda with people. Rather,
we are called to present the Good News of Jesus Christ as we have opportunity and then to simply leave the outcome to the Lord.
