Believe Or Behave

 

The half Gospel continues to be one of the biggest hindrances to Christian life. Many believers are left feeling busy and barren because they are bearing the entire weight of salvation and don't know how to rest. Join me as I delve into why so many Christians are focused on behaving instead of believing what God has said.

Does Christianity lead to transformation or conformity?

 

A misconception of Christianity leads to unbelievers accusing the faith of being the reason for atrocities being committed. They accuse Christians of being conformed to an evil belief system rather than transformed by God to confront evil. The reality is that faith in Jesus Christ leads to the exact opposite of what it is falsely accused of by those who don't understand it. Check out this video to find out the truth.

The Offer Of Life

 

You have given your life to the Lord. But, there is something more important that many Christians don't understand regarding their salvation. Knowing what God has given us will change your life and your eternity. Come along with me as we discuss this topic.

How do you know someone is about to put you under the law?

 

Jesus is our Lord. Jesus is our King. Depending on how you understand these truths, they can affect how you live your Christian life. There are those among us who would like to take advantage of these titles of our God and Savior to get you to fall from grace back to the works of the law. But, when you know the transformation that takes place when you believe the Gospel, you will be prepared to stand firm in the grace of God as you live your life.

John 20:21-23 I Also Send You

We know that Jesus forgave sins. We also know that only God can forgive sins. Yet, people believe that Jesus gave the apostles the authority to forgive sins in John 20:21-23. If true, does this mean the apostles were given the power of God? What does this say about the finished work of Christ? In this video, I will address how when we understand the grammar used in passage reveals both the truth about the forgiveness of sins and what authority Jesus gave the apostles and all Christians.

Do you really know your identity in Christ?

If you're struggling with losing the joy of your salvation or you're afraid that your salvation is conditional, this video is for you. Jesus called us to rest. We know that we are under grace. Unfortunately, poor teaching and discipleship has many Christians feeling alienated from God and far from His love. If this describes you, then this video is for you. You need to see yourself from God's perspective.

What Is Sin?

 

Contrary to popular belief, there is more than one definition of sin. But when people want to get you to fall from grace, they will focus on a specific definition to deceive you. When you understand these definitions in context and measure them against the whole of scripture, you will discover that the position of living under grace is strengthened. In this video, we discuss how this works. Resources: The Purpose of the Law https://youtu.be/eo1IGEWRlZg?si=eOfIUjikQQHFK6ld

Is fasting not optional for Christians?

 

During the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus said, "And when you fast, do not look gloomy like the hypocrites, for they disfigure their faces that their fasting may be seen by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face, that your fasting may not be seen by others but by your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you (Matthew 6:16-18)." Are Christians obligated to fast based on what Jesus says in this passage? In this video, I will bring clarity to this question.

Only God Can Forgive Sin

On multiple occasions, Jesus shocked His audience by forgiving the sins of people. From a paralyzed man seeking to be healed to an outcast woman worshipping at His feet. While those in the audience focused on the outward appearance of the paralytic and the woman, Jesus focused on a deeper need that they had. In this video, we will discuss why these two encounters that Jesus had proved His deity.

Is believing in Jesus Christ all that's necessary for eternal life?

 

Religious dogma often overrides the simplicity of the Gospel. The plain reading of scripture should not be added to or taken away from. If we can't take Jesus at His word, can we trust anything written in the Bible? If you want to see how Satan twists scripture to deceive people watch this video.

Dealing With Rejection

 

There are many things humans have in common. One of those commonalities is being rejected. Whether it's being rejected by a love interest, a job, or something else, we all know the disappointment and pain of not being what others desire. Many people believe experiencing rejection is a sign that God is upset with them. Is this true? In this video, I will explain that God understands what you're dealing with.

What does it mean to be lawless?

 Does living under grace mean that you are living a life of lawlessness? For people under the law, there are only two ways to live. It's either living a life in response to commands designed to modify your flesh. Or, living a life of indulging the flesh in sin. But, living a life of faith under the grace of God is a third way of living that many don't understand. Find out what this means in this video.

The Throne Of Grace

 

For many Christians, Hebrews 4:16 might as well not be in the Bible. With what they believe about forgiveness and their relationship with God, their behavior is more in line with Leviticus 16. If you believe the sin issue is not over between you and God, you will never get to know Him. In this video, we will discuss the differences between approaching God in the Old Testament and in the New Testament.
