Lord, will You…

O, Lord, how I long for my walk with You to be all You would have it be!
Lord, will You walk close to me, as You did with Your disciples on the road to Emmaus?
Lord, will You lead me through the fire, as You did with Meshack, Shadrach, and Abednego? 
Lord, will You protect me in […]

The Unstoppable Church - Faith, Hope, and Love

Our faith is the evidence of that which is not seen.  Without faith it is not possible for us to please God.  We trust in His promises because He cannot fail, He cannot deny Himself, and He will not let us down.  His Church will not only remain, but will also flourish because of Him […]

The Unstoppable Church - Opposition and Persecution

No matter who you are, or where you live, if you are a follower of Jesus Christ, there will be opposition in your life.  Many are opposed to the Gospel, and Jesus Christ.  There is an irrational hatred in this world, and the persecution is coming.  Take heart, with Jesus Christ as the head of the […]

The Unstoppable Church - Empowered by the Holy Spirit

The truth is, if we are not filled with the Holy Spirt, we’re not going anywhere.  The Church operates on the power of the Holy Spirt.  If the Church does not have the Spirit, then it’s just a bunch of people trying to get some stuff done.  Sometimes it may seem like the Church isn’t […]

The Unstoppable Church - Obedience and Blessing

Every follower of Jesus Christ has received the call.  The Church is called to do three things; to know Christ, to follow Christ, and to serve Christ.  When followers are obedient to their calling, they get blessed.  When followers choose to disobey, they reap bad consequences.  Whatever we sow, that we shall also reap. 
If you […]

The Unstoppable Church - Faith in Jesus Christ

The Church is doing many things today, yet there is only one ultimate goal.  To reach this goal there is no doubting, no skepticism, no fatalism, and no middle ground.  Once this goal is reached, some believe that everything would be perfect, and that hard times would finally be over, when in all actuality, the […]

The Unstoppable Church - What is it?

Many have spent their lives to try and stop the Church. 
What is the Church?
I’m not talking about some building.  I’m talking about the body of Christ, believers that are filled with the Holy Spirit. 
I know that we use the word church for the places where God is worshiped, but the actual Church is the body […]

God Promised

Sometimes it’s great to get a promise from someone, isn’t it?  However, sometimes we end up making promises that we just can’t keep.  God’s Word teaches us, that if we say that we will do something, it should be done.  Don’t just say that you are going to do something. 
Above all, my brothers, do not swear—not by […]

Faith - Why a Small Amount is More Than Enough

Faith the size of a mustard seed?  Is it really enough?
He replied, “Because you have so little faith. I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.”  Matthew […]

What Does It Mean To Be Alive In Christ?

For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive.  1 Corinthians 15:22
All will be made alive?
What’s that supposed to mean; is everyone dead or sleeping? 
For Christ died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God. He was put to death in the body […]
