In this episode, we look at how the Church is designed to grow. We look at how God called man to do the planting and watering but how God is meant to give the increase. True growth is the work of the Lord not man. He draws, attracts and gives men the desire to come to Him. We need to be faithful in doing our jobs so God can do His. We need to not only grow in numbers but also in depth. Our relationship with God needs to grow deeper and deeper. That’s what real growth looks like for the Church!

In this episode, we look at Jesus’ command to never look back. We look at why we shouldn’t look back and what the result is when we do. We also see what exactly it is that we’re looking back to. The fate of Lot’s wife serves as a sufficient warning of the dangers of looking back. We need to keep our eyes looking ahead, going forward with a fixed purpose not allowing the devil to distract us. The prize of the high calling of Christ Jesus is the reward we’ll receive if we push forward and never look back!

In this episode, we look at the bronze serpent that Moses made. When people looked at the serpent lifted up on the pole they’d be healed from the poisonous bites the serpents had afflicted them. We look at why the Lord commanded Moses to do this, the significance of it and what we can learn from it today. We also look at how Jesus said when He is lifted up in the same way, He’ll draw all men unto Him. Jesus can heal us in the natural and spiritual. Today we need to lift up Jesus and look to Him for healing in every area of our life!

In this episode, we look at our Father’s house. We look at how we get into Father’s house. We see that Jesus is the door and we look at how exactly we open the door. We need a key and see what specifically the key is. There are people who don’t want us to have the key, even in the Church. They’re the religious elites, the legalists, the holier-than-thou Christians who don’t use the key themselves and don’t want you to either. They want to force you to find some other way to get into Father’s house but there’s only one way and that way is Jesus! Let’s make the choice today to come home to Father’s house! 

In this episode, we look at Mary’s sacrifice of the alabaster box. We look at the significance of the box, what she did with it, and how she used its contents. We look at what this tells us about worshipping through our serving and ministering. Last week we saw Mary worshipping by being with God, now we see her worshipping by doing for God. We look at how we can do the same in our worship in a practical way. We also look at the devices the enemy uses to steal our worship and what we can do to guard ourselves against them. Let’s make the choice today to worship in action!

In this episode, we look at the importance of being with God like Mary who sat at Jesus’ feet listening to Him and adoring Him while her sister Martha was busied and worried by everything going on in the house. We look at how our worship must be rooted in love and how being with Him provides the necessary foundation for our worship to be done in spirit and in truth. We look at the effect of Mary’s worship and the lessons we can learn from her. We also look at how Martha allowed the devil to steal her worship and missed her chance to be with God. Today we need to make the choice to get alone with God and simply be with Him, listening to Him and adoring Him.

In this episode, we look at what constitutes true worship. We know the Lord says that we must worship in spirit and in truth. We look at the two elements of this type of worship and see how we can integrate both of them into our worship. Worship is one of the most important things for us to do as believers and it’s essential that we have an understanding of how to do it, why we do it and what it does. Let’s make the choice today to worship in spirit and in truth.

In this episode, we look at when Isaiah was touched by the coal from off the altar that sits before God. We look at what made that coal significant, what it accomplished and what effect it had on the rest of his life. We then look at how we need to be touched by the coal too. We go throughout scripture to show the difference that the coal and the fire of God that it kindles within us makes in our life. We look at how we get the flame, how we cultivate the flame, and how we spread it to everyone around us through everything we do, as we answer God’s call to scatter the coals over the city! 

In this episode we look at how the failure to execute justice speedily emboldens and encourages criminals. We look at how in the absence of punishment they set their sails to do wickedness. We look at the life of Joab and see how he fell prey to this ideology. After he killed Abner and seemingly got off scot-free he was emboldened to then kill Amasa, but eventually it caught up with him and he had to pay for his crimes. We look at why it seems there’s a delay in God’s judgment and why it’s so dangerous for us to embolden and encourage the enemy while we should instead be emboldening and encouraging ourselves and our fellow believers. 

In this episode, we look at God’s call for Isaiah to roam in the desert for three years while naked. We look at what we can take away from his experience, especially as it relates to vulnerability. We look at why we need to be vulnerable, why so many people won’t be and the difference that it makes in  our life. We look at the power in being vulnerable and how it’s both essential to everything in Christianity and essential in our calling from God. Let’s make the choice today to follow Isaiah’s lead and be vulnerable as we do what God told us to do in the way He told us to do it!
