The Bible says all the promises of God in Him are yes, & in Him amen, to the glory of God through us (2 Cor. 1:20). God makes promises, but then we often face a pickle. In other words, shortly after God makes a promise to us, we often enter into a fiery trial or a wilderness phase on the path to fulfillment of the promise. God made a covenant promise to Noah & sealed it with a rainbow, but later God makes a covenant promise to Abraham & seals it with a razor - for circumcision! We love the rainbows, but not so much the razors. We get a promise from God, and we wonder "why the wilderness, God?" & "why the circumcision, God?" Deuteronomy 8:2 sheds some light on this: "You shall remember that the Lord your God led you all the way these forty years in the wilderness, to humble you & test you, to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep His commandments or not.” The razor God gave Abraham was literal, & it was meant for him to circumcise his flesh. The razor God gives us today is spiritual, it represents His Word, & it is intended to circumcise our hearts of all that is unChristlike. Deuteronomy 30:6 (AMP) says, "“The Lord your God will circumcise your heart & the hearts of your descendants [that is, He will remove the desire to sin from your heart], so that you will love the Lord your God with all your heart & all your soul, so that you may live [as a recipient of His blessing].”As devoted followers of Jesus, we need to understand that God's great & precious promises are meant to make us more like Jesus (2 Pet. 1:4). Therefore, every promise comes with pruning, & every blessing comes with a blade. But don't lose heart. Don't faint in the fiery trials or in the hot wilderness. God is with you. And the only reason He wants to circumcise our hearts, is not to hurt us, but to make us more like Jesus. When the razor of God's Word comes to circumcise your heart, submit to it - just keep your mind on the rainbows in the process between the promise & the possession!

The Lord laid two words on Pastor Jeremie's heart the week prior to him sharing this message: Self-awareness & Prodigal. Self-awareness means having a deep understanding of one's emotions, strengths, limitations, values & motives, as discussed further in a great Harvard Business Review book entitled "Primal Leadership: Unleashing the Power of Emotional Intelligence" by Goleman, Boyatzis, & McKee (2013). Prodigal simply means reckless & wasteful. In Luke 15, Jesus is surrounded by an audience of tax-collectors & sinners, Pharisees & scribes. He seizes this opportunity to tell 3 parables: 1 lost sheep out of 100, 1 lost coin out of 10, and 1 lost son out of 2. In the end of each parable, what was lost was found. The last parable, the one about the prodigal son, is a favorite of many, and reveals how a deep lack of self-awareness can damage our perspective of the Kingdom of God, and can hinder our relationship with our Heavenly Father. Homing in on the father's reception of the prodigal son, Pastor Jeremie teaches four steppingstones towards self-awareness in Christ: ROBES, RINGS, REEBOKS & ROAST.

In John 15:1-5, Jesus tells His disciples, "Abide in the vine." In this message, Jeremie unpacks what "abiding in the vine" means, along with three practical ways we can practice abiding in the vine (Jesus) and continue bearing fruit amid the chaos of life. (Originally uploaded on August 1, 2021)

In Luke 2:41-52, Mary and Joseph lost Jesus! When they came back to Jerusalem and found Him 3 days later, He was in the Temple "sitting with the teachers, listening and asking them questions." When His parents expressed their anxiety and concern, Jesus said to them, “Why did you seek Me? Did you not know that I 'MUST' be about My Father’s business?” (emphasis added). In this message, Pastor Jeremie extracts three applications that we can all add into our lives, by which we may also catch "the must spirit" like Jesus did. What "must" you do with your life? What does "being about the Father's business" look like in your life? We pray the Lord blesses you and speaks to you through this message. (Originally uploaded on July 29, 2021)

These four words not found in the Bible represent key concepts foundational to the Christian faith: (1.) Trinity, (2.) Rapture, (3.) Missionary, and (4.) Revival. 2 Corinthians 3:6 says, "Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life." Along those lines, someone once said, "All of the Bible is in God, but all of God is not in the Bible." In other words, if we choose to live by the "letter of the law", we will likely miss what the Lord is saying. (Originally uploaded on July 19, 2021)

Many of us have experienced the challenge of an empty gas tank, an empty bank account, or an empty stomach. Can emptiness ever be a good thing? How can emptiness be something God could use? In this message we talk about how the life, death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ demonstrates how God the Father can use the "upsilon factor" to bring glory and honor to himself. In the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus’ will and flesh were pressed and tested, while his disciples fell asleep. In this Garden of pressing trial of flesh and will, Jesus surrendered his own personal will to obediently and fully embrace the Father's will. Is there anything of flesh and will that we need to empty ourselves of, that God may receive more glory and honor in and through our lives? Just like Jesus, our lives - our will, our desires, our flesh - anything that diminishes our love for God - these are the seeds that must go into the ground and die, that the fruits of revival and reformation may come forth? When we empty ourselves, God can fill us, and keep filling us to overflow his power and presence into our families and communities, bringing about the kind of spiritual transformation we read about in the Book of Acts. How do we get empty? Go to the Garden and lay it all down. As Jacob Aranza once said, "Jesus isn't all you need, until Jesus is all you have." We pray this message blesses you.

Pastor Jeremie shares this special 4th of July message about the freedom we have in Christ Jesus, based on Galatians 5:1, "Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage."
