The dictionary defines citizenship as: The character of an individual viewed as a member of society; behavior in terms of the duties, obligations, and functions of a citizen. In brother Abel's message he reminds the body of our citizenship status in the Heavenly Kingdom. When we walk down the street strangers should want to stop in their tracks and ask us what's different in our actions and demeanor because we live our lives according to God's word. Own your citizenship friends, guard it with yo...
Some have said that doing anything in addition to the cross is trying to add to the finished work of Jesus. Others have emphasized the need for a life that is worthy of the calling of God. This message explores the spectrum of teaching while emphasizing the victories of the cross. The sluggard craves and gets nothing but the desires of the diligent are fully satisfied. Lord, we ask you how diligence relates to the cross so that we are not merely craving!
In our struggle to press on heavenward, we need to constantly make sure that we are not willfully hanging on to immaturity and dragging ourselves back into what Jesus rescued us from.

Unleashing the Potential
People have done strange things relating to spiritual events. John Calvin once remarked that there were enough pieces of the cross being passed off as "relics" to assemble Noah's Ark.

Leah lived her life as through the eyes of everyone else. The name they called her was NOT the name Jesus called her. Are you living up to your name or have you forgotten who Jesus says you are?

When you hear the word "Worship" what comes to mind? A great musical CD about God, being in God's presence or a pagan expression to their god? Worship is the act of being submitted and in sync with God by a "Worshiper". The Levitical priesthood was established to replace Israel's firstborn as belonging to God and they were the ones that stepped up and put the sword to their own brethren when God commanded punishment for worshiping the Golden Calf. Jesus has given us the right to be a Levite, one...
Today's message is titled for the hebrew book Bemidbar ("bey-midbar"). This appears in our English Bibles as the book of Numbers. Not only is the is the Hebrew name more interesting but is appropriate; it means "in the desert of". I believe the Holy Spirit is encouraging me to teach on this topic because the people of God are fighting between wandering or being led in the desert of_____. As we study this subject please ask the Spirit of God to illuminate his truth to your heart as it relates to ...

When we hang out with sin, we end up being led into stupidity and rebellion by it. Eric teaches on Ahaz's Altar and how his compromise and pride robbed him of God's purpose for his life and an entire nation.
We are all familiar with the story of creation and from the animals down to plants, God designed it all to multiply "after its kind". Eric teaches on expanding this view beyond natural creation into the fruit of our lives.
