Possessing the Enemy’s Gate
Opening from Genesis 22:15 to 18, this message draws a line between the Abraham of Genesis 12 and the Abraham of Genesis 22, showing that the blessing given after the offering of Isaac was for the man Abraham had become through years of testing, not a repeat of the earlier promise. It teaches that God tests before He fulfills, that the final test is usually the one that requires self denial, and that true possession only comes after a complete…
The Invisible God Becoming Visible (Part 5)
Preached as part of the series The Invisible God Becoming Visible, this message contrasts salesmanship with a billboard: a salesperson can promote something they have not tested themselves, while a billboard simply states the plain truth. Believers are described as God’s billboards, with Christ as the sponsor whose reputation is at stake whenever a believer’s testimony is tested, illustrated through Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, Stephen, and present day accounts of believers who stood firm under pressure. Scripture Reference Ye are…
The Trail of the Truth Through the Gentile Dispensation
Continuing the Trail of the Truth series from Revelation 2:5 and 6, this class moves from doctrine into conduct, tracing how Paul, as the messenger to the first church age, set the standard for holy living, godly marriage, the raising of children, and conduct at work, before introducing the subject of modesty by tracing dress back to Genesis. Scripture Reference Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children, and walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and…
Hearing From God (Part 14)
After recapping how Satan attacks faith and how to create an atmosphere for divine revelation, this message turns to the measure of faith given to every believer, showing that the goal is not to seek a bigger faith but a pure, undoubting faith that will not mix with doubt regardless of its size. Scripture Reference And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon, and the same man was just and devout, waiting for the consolation of…
Faith for Total Healing (Part 2)
Continuing the study on faith for total healing, this message corrects several common misconceptions: that spiritual gifts are what make healing happen, that a person prayed for should feel instantly and permanently better, that prayer alone guarantees healing, and that God is obligated to heal indiscriminately. It shows instead that healing is often a process in which the individual’s faith and confession must be sustained after prayer. Scripture Reference Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and…
The Trail of the Truth Through the Gentile Dispensation
This session recaps the Trail of the Truth series on the doctrine of the first church age: justification by faith, grace as a free and unearned gift, the unity and diversity of the body of Christ, the centrality of the resurrection, water baptism in the name of the Lord Jesus, and the teaching on the Godhead. It also revisits Paul’s instruction on the order of the church, restating why women were not given authority to teach and affirming that the…
Hearing From God (Part 13)
Building on the Hearing From God series, this message focuses on creating an atmosphere for divine revelation through prayer, using Daniel’s lifestyle of prayer as the central example, and offers practical guidance on approaching God in secret, dealing with a wandering mind, and understanding prayer as sincere conversation rather than repeated words. Scripture Reference And I set my face unto the Lord God, to seek by prayer and supplications, with fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes. Daniel 9:3 Key Points: What…
The Trail of the Truth Through the Gentile Dispensation
Advancing the Trail of the Truth series, this class examines how Paul set the church in order regarding communion and the operation of spiritual gifts, correcting the Corinthian church for approaching the Lord’s Supper carelessly and for allowing tongues to be spoken publicly without interpretation. Scripture Reference For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, that the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread, and when he had given…
Faith for Total Healing (Part 1)
Opening the Faith for Total Healing series, this message explores three biblical reasons God allows sickness, to call a believer home, as a consequence of sin, or so that God may be glorified, then explains sickness as originating in the spirit realm before taking physical form, and distinguishes a miracle from a healing that unfolds gradually as a process. Scripture Reference Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth…
Hearing From God (Part 12)
Moving further into the Hearing From God series, this message covers two further ways to create an atmosphere for divine revelation: living under expectation of God’s promises, illustrated by Abraham’s readiness to receive the three visitors and the specific timing of Isaac’s birth, and soul travail, a burdened desire for the lost illustrated by Ezekiel’s vision of a mark placed on those who sigh and cry over the sins of the land. Scripture Reference And said, My Lord, if now…
But This Man
Preached from the account of the two thieves crucified with Jesus, this message uses an imagined life history of Gestas and Dismas to explore why Jesus had to come as a complete man, a near kinsman redeemer who could be tempted, suffer, and die on behalf of humanity, and closes with the repentant thief’s plea for mercy as a picture of grace available to anyone regardless of their past. Scripture Reference And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed…
Hearing From God (Part 11)
Picking up the Hearing From God series, this message reviews the distinction between human faith and divine revelation, then focuses on creating an atmosphere for divine revelation through worship and praise, using Elisha’s call for a minstrel before receiving a word from the Lord in 2 Kings 3 and revisiting the account of a subdued animal as pictures of an atmosphere that invites God’s presence. Scripture Reference And he said, Hear now my words: If there be a prophet among…
