  • Living a Christ-like Life

    (Titus 3:8 – Living a Christ-like Life) One of the things all Christians must learn and understand is about living a Christ-like life. When a person comes to Christ it is often because they have hit rock bottom emotionally or spiritually. Christ came to help those who are suffering. When we are living a Christ-like…

  • Unburdening the Church

    Too often we hear of pastors burning out churches. We also hear of people leaving the church for lack of spiritual food. Unburdening the church will resolve many of these issues.

  • Building character as a Christian (Ep 95)

    Character is about being and becoming a person of worth who is humble and trustworthy. A person of character is one who is worthy of the name of Jesus Christ and who shows their character in the things they do.

  • Growing to Maturity in Jesus Christ through Suffering (Ep 92)

    To be mature in Jesus Christ means that you will go through suffering. Christ suffered in the flesh and those who choose to follow Him will also suffer for their faith.

  • Growing to Maturity in Jesus Christ (Ep 91)

    We are called as Christians to walk with Christ and to grow into maturity in Him. Growing to maturity in Jesus Christ is a process, and I will be overviewing that process in this session as a lead-in to looking at the steps of the process.

  • Living in Christ

    As we walk with Christ and learn what He taught us, we begin living in Christ. When we take His teachings to heart and follow the things Jesus instructed us to do, that is when we begin living in Christ.

  • Growing into Maturity as a Christian (Ep 53)

    As Christians, we are walking with Christ, and our destination in this walk is to be perfect as God is perfect. To be perfect we must become mature in Jesus Christ. We are not meant to remain as babes and children in Christ. He has provided all of the teachings in the Bible to help…

  • Growing in Christ

    (Ephesians 4:14) In my last two posts I looked at the ministry gifts given to the Church by God. I considered “what” those gifts are and how they worked in the Church. I also looked at the reason God gave these gifts, which was to bring Christians to maturity in Christ. God wants His people…

  • Maturity in Christ

    (Ephesians 4:11-13) This post extends the message of the last post where we looked at the five ministry gifts given by God to the church. God gave gifts to the members of the church so that the church would grow and mature. Those who receive these gifts work together with God to bring about the…

  • You Will Reap What You Sow

    (Galatians 6:7-8) This principle we are looking at today should be classified as one of the underlying principles that uphold the universe. It is certainly universally understood and recognised in all walks of life. You reap what you sow is truth. There is no getting around it. You cannot expect to receive something if you…

  • True Authority

    (2 Corinthians 10:8) True authority is meant to be used in a manner that helps people. The power of governments and other authorities is meant to provide assistance for those who are in need. True authority should enable those who have authority to encourage, help and lift those over whom the authority exists. Unfortunately though,…

  • Love versus Knowledge

    (1 Corinthians 8:1-3) Every so often you come up against a scripture you have to spend some time meditating upon. You mull it over and pray over it seeking the fullness of the meaning and asking the Lord to provide insight. Such was the case for me with this set of verses today. I have…
