The Blood of Jesus is powerful in that it is the only agent able to cleanse and remove the stain of sin in mankind. When Adam sinned, the universe was altered. Man, originally meant to have fellowship and intimacy with God, was suddenly separated from Him. But God, through the system of sacrifices, which covered and atoned for sin, offered a temporarily restored fellowship. Jesus came, once and for all, through the shedding of His own sacrificial blood, to pay a debt He didn't owe, to cancel the eternal debt of sin that we could never pay. It's His blood that not only cleanses us from sin, but clears our consciences as well.

Mercy triumphs over judgment'. Jesus is our New Covenant sacrifice and becomes the mercy of God toward us in a personal Savior. The gift of salvation is made available to us at the cost of God Himself. Jesus is also our ‘Jubilee', the releasing of every debt (sin that deserved judgment) so that we can return to the Shepherd of our soul. The provision of God is demonstrated through the gift of His Son, Jesus Christ.

Loose Him and Let Him Go! In this sermon we look at some of what took place when Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead. Jesus told Martha that if she would only believe, she would see the glory of God. Then when the Jews had seen the glory of God, they believed! Our church is called to believe and see the glory of God, especially in the lives of those who have been transformed, so that others might see might believe. The grave clothes that bound Lazarus needed to removed by those who could help him. We as a church need to be prepared to loose those who come to Jesus and find life from what binds them.

Tithing (2) This is the second in a two-part series on tithing and covers the subject of reaping and sowing and how we receive “true riches” when we do it God's way. We always want to be on the right side of what God thinks about finances!

In this first of two sermons, a scriptural look at tithing reveals that the tithe is a “devoted” thing that belongs to the Lord. If kept from God for personal use, the “devoted” thing becomes an “accursed” thing. Ten percent belongs to God. You “pay” a tithe, not give it – giving begins after the tithe has been paid. The book of Malachi reveals that when we withhold the tithe, we rob God. We also see that the tithe is NOT part of the Law. Abraham tithed to Melchizedek 400 years before the Law was given. The tithe was part of God's plan before the Law, during the Law, and after the Law. Jesus referred to tithing when He said to give to God the things that are God's.

Jesus instructed the Church to make disciples of all nations by teaching them to obey His teachings. Our Founding Fathers knew that for a Constitutional Republic to function successfully, its people would have to live by the morals Jesus taught. Benjamin Franklin said that without morals, a people would need to be ruled by “masters”. The political progressives have slowly but surely turned our country away from the Bible and the morality it teaches and have themselves seemingly exhibited a desire to be the masters. It is time for the church to speak up and show that we have something to offer the nations: the teachings of Jesus Christ – a vital and necessary ingredient for people to live in a successful Constitutional Republic.

In the Book of Acts, the story is told of a group of men who saw the power of God working through the disciples to cast demons out of people. They reasoned that by following the same “method”, they could also perform exorcisms, but instead were attacked and humiliated by the devil. Why? The answer, which is also a challenge to us, was given by the demonic spirit through the possessed person: “Jesus I know and Paul I know, but who are you?” The sermon concludes with an extensive list of scriptures declaring who we are in Christ.

Jesus said, “unless you eat my flesh and drink my blood, you have no life in you”. Communion was never meant to be simply a ritual, but rather a living reality of our personal relationship with Jesus Christ. In this study of “The Lord's Supper”, we examine the spiritual meaning of Jesus' words and how to apply them to our lives.
