Return Ministries episodes:

• April 30, 2017Spiritual Discernment

  The Bible teaches us that if we lack Brotherly Kindness and Love, then we

  are spiritually blind. Even though we got our eyes opened on the day we got

  saved, all Christians still have blind spots. Jesus came to heal the blind

  eyes and the only way we will ever get our blind eyes opened is for Jesus

  to restore our spiritual eye sight. In John chapter 9 there is a story of

  Jesus healing a blind man, but the story is really about the community of

  believers that were spiritually blind and they all failed to see the work

  of God in their midst. We too will fail to discern...

• April 23, 2017Draw Near To God

  James 4 tells us, “Draw close to God and he will draw close to you.” During

  the course of our life, we encounter many fiery trials. When we emerge from

  fiery trials we will come out one of two ways - Burned or Better. When we

  are near to God, we always come out better. This lesson reminds us of the

  importance of spending time to draw close to our Heavenly Father.

• April 16, 2017The Resurrection

  The Resurrection of Jesus Christ is the most significant event in the

  history of the world. As believers we need to learn how to live in and with

  the resurrection power of Jesus. The same power that rose Jesus from the

  dead lives in us and we need to know and experience in our daily lives how

  to walk in the power of His resurrection. If we can learn how to abide “in

  Christ”, or stay inside of Christ by faith, then we can know and experience

  all of the blessings and benefits that Jesus Christ died to give us.

• April 09, 2017Return Ministries - Second Anniversary

  I believe that when we get to the judgment seat of Christ that God is going

  to ask us, “did you ever really understand just how much I love you?” We

  need an epiphany of the Love of God, or a glimpse of understanding of just

  how much He loves us. This will transform us, it will change everything

  about us. Us loving God and loving others will come as naturally to us as

  breathing once we can see how much God loves us. God saved us and put us

  “In Christ”. We are accepted in the beloved Son, because ...

• April 02, 2017Revelation 1:9 - Patmos

  The beloved disciple John with all the gifts and treasures in his heart

  from his encounters with Jesus, found himself in his later years banished

  to a desolate, barren, isolated island called Patmos. Why would God send

  him to a solitary place, unable to share the love, healing, and word to

  others? We too have Patmos experiences in our journey that find us in

  lonely, painful places,  but God does not intend to harm us, rather He

  chooses to bless us. Maybe, just maybe, God loves us so much that He is

  willing to...

• March 26, 2017Relational

  Religion is all about rules and rituals, but Christianity is all about

  relationships. Jesus came to restore us to a right relationship with God

  and with each other. Jesus told us to love the LORD with all of our heart

  soul and mind and then to love our neighbor as ourself. God is

  intentionally relational with all of us and He desires a personal

  relationship with us, more than we desire one with Him. God is always

  looking for someone with a friendly heart toward Him. We say we love God

  but...

• March 19, 2017The Torn Curtain

  A Christian should have boldness in approaching God, and can walk right

  into the Holy of Holies because of the Blood of Jesus Christ. In the Old

  Covenant, God's personal presence lived in the Holy of Holies, on the Mercy

  Seat, between the two cherubim's. But on the cross of Calvary, when Jesus

  cried out, “It is finished” the veil of the temple was rent or torn. From

  that moment on, God left the temple; and now in the New Covenant, all

  believers can have a personal relationship with God, through Jesus

  Christ...

• March 12, 2017What is in your hand?

  As we journey through this life both naturally and spiritually we tend to

  collect “stuff”.  We hold tightly to dreams, goals, ministries, titles,

  relationships:  even unhealthy things such as bitterness, anger,

  addictions, and disappointments. God was asking Moses to release a simple

  wooden stick, a Shepherd's staff so that He could transform it into the rod

  of God. When Moses let go, God was able to use the rod on a greater level

  for His glory and kingdom. Moses became a nation's leader, a rescuer, and

  he experienced the miracle of splitting the Red Sea, thus the delivering of

  a nation...

• March 06, 2017Transformed by God: From Distress to Victory

  King David with his 400 men represent what we can become in this life if we

  follow our king Jesus. Over the process of time God transformed a group of

  distressed, discontented, and indebted men into an army of mighty men of

  valor. They may have looked like failures, but God had great plans for

  these men.

• February 26, 2017Communion, a Broken Life

  Communion is about our personal, intimate relationship with God through the

  broken, poured out, given away body and blood of Jesus Christ. It is where

  our brokenness meets the brokenness of Jesus. Jesus gave thanks, broke the

  bread, and then gave it. Communion is all about thanksgiving, brokenness

  and giving. Jesus told us to do this in remembrance of Him. This means

  bringing the past to the present, or to bring Calvary through the veil of

  time and eternity to the present tense. ..
