The Accuser

A look at a major attribute and tactic of Satan, and how it seeks to entice and entrap both sinners and saints alike. We can see the effects of this through history in the scriptures. Let us be vigilant that we not fall victim to it and if we already have, that we learn to recognize it, and repent. 

Temptation of Christ

A look at the temptations of Christ and how they reflect the temptations that all the satins of God will face. They are not merely the simple temptations of the flesh but very real and subtle temptations that come against God's will and plan, to steal or usurp it with shallow promises that Satan won't deliver on the way that you wanted. Trust God for the long haul. it might be harder, but God is faithful and the devil is a lier. 

The Shepherds

A look at the account of David, Nabal, and Abigail to see the parallels between, the Good Shepherd who would be king, the bad shepherd who would loose everything, and the bride that would be the prize for the one who trusted in God.  

Staying Delivered

A Bible Study podcast with Pastor Daniel and Marandia Wright on the topic of staying delivered! Jesus warned that when the unclean spirits are gone out of a man, if they are allowed to come back in, the later end of the man is worse than the first. So then how do they get back in, and how do you keep that from happening? We look at the scriptures today, to answer these very important questions.

The Order

Sometimes we can have all the pieces right and be frustrated that it still does not work, because we have the order wrong. A victorious life in Christ can be like this, we can't run before we can walk. We can't produce fruit before we have been planted. We can't get grace without faith. The Order matters. 

Walk It Out

A look at Abraham's journey to see that what he walked out in faith, his children would later live out by grace! Every step of your journey matters and may effect generations long after you're gone. So take your journey serious.

Promise Land Battles

A look through the book of Joshua at the battles that were fought by the Israelites once they had entered into the Promise to see what those Promised Land Battles taught them as they learned to Possess the Promise. 

Why Fasting Is Essential to Growing in Grace

Why did every person of power and faith in scripture fast? Why was it the marker of major turning points in people's lives, entire nations, and the whole narrative of Biblical dispensations? Why did Jesus say that some victories can only come by way of it? Why does the modern church shy away from it? Why did Jesus teach that it was as essential as prayer in the life of a believer? Today we look a little closer at how fasting can grow you in grace according to scripture. 

Remember the Loaves and Fishes

A powerful reminder that God is the supplier of our physical needs as well. He cares and knows what we need and will perform miracles, if need be, to feed His sheep. Trust Him and follow His lead and remember all the times He has provided for you before and know that He will always come through for you when things get hard.

Ten Shekels a Year

Lessons from the Old Testament are invaluable for our understanding as we journey on toward promise. Today we look at the story of a priest and how his wrong thinking of his calling cost him his right standing so that we can make sure that we do not fall guilty of it ourselves, and pray for those who have.

The Doctrine of the Nicolaitans

A look into one of the doctrines found in the churches in the book of Revelations that Jesus said that he hated, so we can be sure that we never become guilty of something that Jesus so completely disapproves of as this.  

The Spirit of Cain

An insightful look into the character of Cain and a biblical exploration of why his sacrifice was not acceptable to God and why his brother's was. 

Personal Responsibility

There are many things that only God can do, yet there are a few things in scripture that He very clearly tells us to do. He lays a personal responsibly on each of us to take a step of faith and show ourselves a bride that loves her groom enough to prepare herself for His coming. Today we take a look at these personal responsibilities in scripture that no one else can do for us and ask God for the grace to tend to them with all due diligence.    

The Process

Our life of faith is a journey.  Yes there is a starting point and there is a destination, and a preparation for that destination! Therefore, there is a process that God takes us through as we progress in that preparation. Things that might seem pointless, do have a purpose far beyond our imagining, because the journey will take us far beyond our seeing or current comprehension. Season change, but His faithfulness remains the same. keep trusting. Keep going. 

The Great Deception

A look into scripture at the level of deception that the antichrist will perpetrate on the nations as well as the deception that the spirit of antichrist is already moving in right before our eyes.

Apprehending Perfection

Paul and the New Testament Apostles spoke often about the perfecting of the saints. Paul speaks to us more specifically about apprehending that perfection, our attuites "towards it and "while' attaining it, how to go about pursuing it, what it even means and why we need to seek to achieve this perfecting. So today we look at what Paul had to say about Apprehending Perfection for a better understanding of our journey of sanctification.
