Identity crises
Even David, a man after God's own heart, went through identity crises. Each crisis is an opportunity for God to uproot our neediness and establish who he says we are.
Transformed, not conformed
God doesn't want to renovate you; he wants to transform you. Before you experience his will, you need to stop conforming to the world and let him change the way you think.
The three dimensions of Christian maturity
In 1 Corinthians 13, Paul links maturity and love. Maturing means leaving behind a child's way of speaking, thinking and reasoning, so that your life bears fruit that feeds others.
He carried our guilt
Sin wages a war within us and produces guilt. On the cross, Jesus did not only forgive our sins: he carried our guilt away.
Witnesses wanted: please present evidence
Before ascending to heaven, Jesus revealed the church's calling: to be witnesses. Learn what a true witness is, the danger of false testimony, and the secret of the Spirit's power.
It's on the journey that you find God
God works through movement. In Jacob's wrestling at the ford of the Jabbok, we see four things He does on the journey: the encounter, the mark, the confrontation, and the transformation.
No grace, no gratitude
The root of gratitude is God's grace. The more you understand what you received without deserving it, the more humble, hardworking, and grateful your heart becomes.
Step out of your tent!
God took Abraham outside his tent to see the stars. Faith isn't optimism: it's no longer living by the reality you built and starting to live by God's truth.
The new is better!
Jesus didn't come to patch up our religiosity. He brings new clothes and new wine, and calls us to be new wineskins so we can taste that what God is doing now is better.
God's global purpose
God sees the whole without forgetting the parts. In Acts 1:6-8, Jesus corrects the disciples' view of time and the kingdom, promises power, and calls us to be living witnesses.
Come to me
Jesus calls us to come to Him and to go with Him. Under His yoke, with gentleness and humility, the weary and burdened soul finds rest.
Tearing down strongholds of the mind
Strongholds of the mind start with a single thought and only fall to spiritual weapons. Learn to take every thought captive to make it obedient to Christ.
What is the proof of your hope?
In the parable of the ten virgins, Jesus shows that true hope prepares and moves. Those who only have expectation stand still, and oil can't be borrowed.
The miracle is not the end, it's the beginning
The woman with the issue of blood wanted a miracle and then to slip away. Jesus called her daughter. The miracle doesn't close the story: it opens a journey of relationship with God.
Understanding the times
The men of Issachar understood the times and knew what Israel should do. Learn to read the season you are in and to live today with God, not stuck in the past or anxious about the future.
The path of wisdom
God's wisdom is born in the test, moves through a request made with confidence, produces perseverance and leads us to maturity and wholeness. See the path James describes.
The Essence and Appearance of Generations
Discover why the church needs to unite old and young to fully experience prophecy and God's movement in your community.
Reconciliation Freed Us from Guilt
Discover how reconciliation in Christ frees you from judicial guilt while maintaining your practical responsibility in the Christian life.
The Useless Idols of the Heart
The prophet Jeremiah was chosen to carry a difficult message to the people of Israel. His mission was to announce that divine judgment would come upon them because of their idolatry and abandonment of God.
Aligning Our Spirituality with Christ
Today I want to minister on aligning our spirituality with Christ. This is an essential second part because it touches on another dimension of our lives — a complement to help us understand more of God.
Aligning Our Emotions with Jesus
This message is part of a two-part reflection. Today we will focus specifically on emotions, while next time we will address the alignment of our spirituality with Christ. We live in a world that offers us a seemingly endless array of behavioral models and definitions of success, especially through social media. Yet we must remember that Christ is our ideal model in every area of life, including our emotional health.
Our Way Back to the Father
The relationship between God and humanity has always been marked by divine fatherhood. Yet throughout history, many have drifted from that relationship, seeking independence or falling into the trap of empty religiosity. The parable of the prodigal son, in Luke 15, reveals the love of the Heavenly Father and how we must return to Him.
Why Do You Look for the Living Among the Dead?
Why do you look for the living among the dead? This question carries within it a spiritual diagnosis and an invitation to find life only in the Risen Christ.
God's Original Plan for You
God has an original plan for each of us. We often seek to understand what that plan is, and the story of Moses offers a clear window into how God reveals His calling, His purpose, and our identity.
The Blessing of the Presence
The presence of God is an inexhaustible source of blessing. When we look at the story of the Ark of the Covenant in the house of Obed-edom, we learn that those who welcome the presence of God into their lives are deeply blessed.
A Heart According to God's Will
Having a heart according to God's will is both a challenge and a calling for every Christian. When we look at the story of David, we notice that his difference from Saul lay in the fact that David was chosen by God, while Saul was chosen by the people. In the same way, we must seek to shape our hearts to reflect the divine will.
