When it comes to "spiritual gifts", there are many ways to approach the subject.

I will be going thru various Scriptures to show a quick view of 3 lists from Romans, 1 Corinthians, and Ephesians.

This episode is the first and perhaps my favorite list, the charisma "gifts" referenced in 1 Corinthians and listed, though not in full, in Romans 12.

Join me as we do a quick overview of the various gifts listed and the context of the lists as it pertains to the body of Christ.

For a more in depth look at these lists and a breakdown of the Greek, translation/interpretation notes, etc, you can listen to my almost two hour audio only episode on this subject here:

We can hope for many things, and what our assurance of that hope rests in is so very important.In the Scriptures, we see that Israel was confident in their temple and their sacrifices, but was their hope misplaced?Are we caught in the same fallacy.....do we put our hope in our denomination, our pastor, our church, or anything else besides the mercy of Jehovah through the blood of Christ?Join me as we look at Jeremiah 7 and how it pertains to us today.You can also join me for more episodes on YouTube, ITunes, and Amazon Music.

There are times when God moves and it just confirms how good He is to us.

I was in Virginia for a niece's wedding and God directed, moved, and confirmed multiple times!

It was amazing and I was given opportunity to bless a different congregation with exhortation.

We are told by Jesus to let our light shine, but for a purpose...always for a purpose.

We are not to be good, simply for the sake of goodness, or peaceful for the sake of peace.

We are to let our light shine, so that our Father in heaven is glorified.

A simple encouragement, but a needed one to those who are alone in the dark.

What should our approach, as leaders, be to those who don't meet our expectations?

We might often think to ourselves, "How can this person not know better? Why aren't they as mature as I am?"

How we handle those brothers and sisters struggling in their faith or obedience is crucial their growth and development.

Let's take a look at 1 Peter 4:8, and how Peter's instruction to allow love to cover those transgressions.

We can all think back to moments of asking to ourselves, "Why did I sign up for this?".

I've been a youth pastor, sound tech, deacon, praise team leader, roadie for performing artists that have come in, videographer, preacher, teacher, and counselor......and there have been many times I've said the above question to myself.

In ministry, if you've been at it long enough, you will be thinking the same thing. There are so many lessons I've learned from being in ministry for over two decades now, and if only I could've told my twenty-something self these lessons, I would've avoided much trouble and heartache.

Join me in talking about three things I wish I had known BEFORE starting ministry.

We've all been there, right? Outside at night, and you see some other wordly entity, taunting you and ready to attack. Very shortly after accepting the Call from Jesus, I had an encounter that would change my approach to spiritual warfare. Join me as I share a lesson learned the hard way.

The primary function of fruit is to protect and disperse the seeds within the fruit, but how does our fruit do more than show the world we are Christians?

How precious is the Gospel and why is it so important to protect it?

How does the fruit of the Spirit protect and disperse the Gospel?

Join me for a sermon discussing the interplay of fruit in our lives and the Gospel we are aiming to show the world.

There are times in our lives when we wish we could have an experience like we read in our Bibles.

You know the kind........"and then an angel appeared to......."

Of all the experiences I've had.....there was one that I can only explain as "entertaining angels unaware".

In my twenties, almost dead, and in a coma for almost three days due to the flu and pneumonia.......I had an experience.....I was comforted by an angel in my hospital room.

Have you ever wondered what life is all about?

What is the advantage of money, fame, influence, or fulfilled desire?

Solomon took his vast wealth and power, and looked for satisfaction in those things and came to a surprising conclusion.

Lets take a quick look at what a burden those can be and what a blessing those can be also.
