God's plan after the death and resurrection of Jesus wasn’t for anointed places, things or even services. His plan was for anointed people who were anointed with the Spirit of His Son. This anointing was so the sons of God could both “do” and “be” by the power of the Spirit. This message will remind you that you, believer, are anointed sons of God.

The prodigal son was an immature son who wanted the things that were for his mature years. Once having them he squandered them ending up in an impoverished condition leading to living as a servant in a distant land. The story would be sad if it ended there, but it didn’t. The pathway to restoration was paved by his decision to repent and return to the Father who would restore him. Repentance became a revelation for the son to experience the Father in an even greater revelation.

Paul clearly says we become sons of God when we come to him through faith in Christ. Nothing other than faith makes us sons. Because we are sons the Father gives us the Spirit of his Son by which we now cry out - Abba Father. This message will encourage you to raise up a cry - the cry of the sons.

This message unpacks some foundational teaching while at the same time lays a foundation from which believers live a life of acceptance and approval from God. Those who come to Him through Christ come into a state of "being" that had nothing to do with human effort. That place of being then becomes the foundation from which we pursue the "doing." Live a life of security and joy as you know who you are and how you became who you are in Christ.

Adam was the created son of God who was given image, likeness and dominion to be about the Father's business. Yet the created son was banished from the garden because of becoming a rebellious son. However Jesus, the begotten of the Father, became the redeeming son that enables believers today to again become the created sons of the father. This message will remind you of just who you are because of Christ.

Most believers know that we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus on Easter. However many of us can miss the rest of the story because of failing to see the details within the story. The full message of Easter is in the details. This message combines the crucifixion, burial and resurrection of Jesus with Levitical practices found in the Old Testament to bring out the full revelation of just who and what Jesus IS. Because He IS...we are.

Jesus came into Jerusalem on what is known as Palm Sunday, His triumphal entry that would culminate in a victory not won by might but through his death. The lamb that would be slain would win the victory. Some people were looking for a rescuer but Jesus was coming as more than a rescuer. He was coming as the redeemer! On lamb selection day Jesus presented himself as the last Passover lamb that would redeem humanity. This message will encourage you to choose the Lamb!

One of the most poignant and powerful stories of scripture is Jesus in the garden before His betrayal. It was a moment of distress and anguish for Him to the point of praying for a way of escape. However it ended with Him aligning his prayer with the will of the Father. What does His Father do for him at that point? He sends Him help from the sanctuary. He strengthens Him for the moment. This message will encourage you, in your garden moment, to look for help from the sanctuary.

This, the last message in the What's Love Got to do With it series, reveals what love in action looks like. The story of Jonathan and David reveals how a person loves another as themselves. The message however isn't an attempt to get us to be like Jonathan, even though he was worthy of imitation. The message however is to point us to Christ who was the true revelation of what it meant to love others as yourself.

The Apostle Paul penned the words to I Corinthians 13 to describe what love is, what it does and what it doesn’t do. The end of it famously reads: “and these three remain: faith, hope and love, but the greatest of these is love.” Jesus said the greatest commandment was to love God. He said the second greatest commandment was to love your neighbor as yourself. That pretty much sums it up…love is the greatest of these. This message charges us, as believers, to not just love as I Corinthians suggests, but rather, become love. It’s not based upon a feeling; it’s based upon a decision to self deny in order to love others.
