I have said for many years, one of the key signs of maturity to the Christian is not whether something bothers us, but whether let things in life bother us. You see, many things in this life are bothersome; but why do they only ‘bother some?’ Maturity is seen by whether you ‘let it bother you’ becoming consumed by the issue. Another thing I have learned is the fact that when I forgive, I set a prisoner free; only to find out the prisoner was me! The bottom line is this, if you and I are to be victorious in our lives, we must stop looking at ourselves as a casualty of circumstance, upbringing or life. As Christians, we are more than conquerors’, overcomers of the weaknesses in this life because we ‘come over’ to the strength found in Jesus Christ.

The Lord gave me a simple definition in understanding how to live a life of faith. I was given this understanding; ‘Faith is believing; believing is accepting, accepting is receiving and receiving is what we will do when we have faith in accepting God’s word (lit… taking God at His word), which enables us to receive God’s promises.’ You see, many have religion, but no faith, a creed, but no belief; they do not really and actively trust God. Why? Most don't understand faith, and it doesn’t make sense to believe (act upon) something you don’t understand. Yet we must realize, faith is believing when common sense tells you not to. Faith is the principle of life by which we live unto God, the principle of motionby which we walk the road to heaven and the principle of strength by which we oppose the flesh, the world and the devil. Yet this is where the struggle begins, because faith makes things possible; it does not make them easy. Faith is the hardest act to comprehend but the only thing that God accepts. Join us during this series as we understand God’s promises are not made to those of strong faith, but to those of true faith. Walking by faith means being prepared to trust where we are not permitted to see.

Dr Ray Kirkland delves into the difference between the 'Gate' and the 'Door'. Scripture often refers to the Gate as narrow, and not many will make it through. But the Door to heaven, is Jesus... if we will but knock, the door will be opened,

It's the old saying: LET GO AND LET GOD. Yet the sacred art of letting go is not the same as giving up. Instead, it's the art of giving in, realizing that as much as you'd like to do something about a situation that's driving you crazy or hurting you deeply, you realize you are helpless. Yet it's that moment of helplessness that has the potential to set you free and change you forever. Simply stated, you're not in control, God is.

God’s grace has been described as indescribable, His mercy as unending. If we could look at this subject of God’s Grace and really understand it we would come to understand just like Paul the Apostle, ‘But by the grace of God I am what I am…’ (I Corinthians 15:10) Do we think ‘Grace’ a small thing? In this series we will understand that Grace is not just a ‘small’ thing, God’s Grace is ‘everything’! If only we’d get hold of that life-a small thing? In this series we will understand that Grace is not just a ‘small’ thing, God’s Grace is ‘everything’! If only we’d get hold of that life-changing fact! Our seemingly small trouble is of eternal importance to God. He uses every yesterday to bring us to a victorious tomorrow. Life is filled with lessons, which if well learned now will affect us eternally. Yet, if we refuse to learn from life and utilize the lesson now oh, He will still love us; and the next time we ‘fall to the ground’, He will still be there; ‘but for the Grace of God…’ Join us as we learn and grow together!
