The Responsibility of Man
After the fall of man, God asks a fundamental question: “Where are you Adam?” Adam or Mankind is to issue a response. The spiritual and holistic answer is not simply: “here I am.” It is “I am here, send me.” Humanity’s nature ordained by God is to bear RESPONSIBILITY. Many Believers stop at being saved; salvation is only the beginning. One must follow salvation with an attitude of “I bear responsibility.” The question remains: “Responsibility for what?” If you can’t answer that question, it would be good to attend this Sunday’s service. If you can answer it, it would be good to see if...

Be Abnormal Especially During Abnormal Times
In today’s society and current events, people appear to gravitate to an emotion and character of intensity. Emotions are high, people are confused, and it appears that so many people are echoing the story of Chicken Little: “The Sky is Falling!” These are historical and abnormal times. When the world is tense and the volume is high, we need to be abnormal. Yes, we live with conviction. Yes, followers of Jesus stand on truth. But the fact is the way we handle these unprecedented times will be a magnet to draw people to the Lo...

The Lord has called His disciples to live a life of boldness and with an audacity to believe. The modern world is riddled with doubters, and skeptics.

Striving. Seeking favor. Proving. Legalism. Fatigue. Weariness.Trying to combat sin and failing. These are all attributes which are results stemming from one not knowing their identity in Messiah.

Memorial Stones: The Sin of Mediocrity
Is mediocracy a sin…? Like all things, it depends on the posture of the heart. The spiritual truth is the Lord has not called you to be mediocre nor does He want you to choose a mediocre life. This is a fundamental theme in the Bible. You are a special people; the head not the tail; more than a conqueror in Christ Jesus. A strange and peculiar people; sons and daughters; priests. In the modern era, people both love and distain mediocracy. On one hand, culture teaches to not be mediocre in money, or in ca...

Memorial Stones: Church Begins in the Home
A fundamental stone which is being marginalized, attacked, and torn down in the modern era is the family, the home, and the relationships within. This is not an accident, but rather, a byproduct of busyness, deflection and apathy. Some may wish to caste blame on culture, public education, or television. The fact of the matter is we must once again look to the Church at large and determine if sons and daughters have been diligently taking their role in the home seriously.

During certain seasons of life, some find it difficult to remain positive. Let’s be honest, things have been strange and difficult for most people during this last year. The remedy is simple: embrace the season, but know springtime is come. In the Scriptures, the element of the springtime is a spiritual and physical symbol.

In Scripture, transformations through experiencing the Father often occurs through a mountain experience. Through an ascent. Yes, as Believers, we do ascend the hill of the Lord. But, through the coming of Jesus there is a revelation of the paradigm of holiness and transformation. Transformation now comes through the Son descending to earth. To transform is to first recognize His descent to earth and the revelation for His pursuit. “The Lord is n...

There is a temptation to conserve. To hold on to, to keep, to store. This is a natural inclination; a carnal inclination. To conserve is to live for the self. It is rooted in fear and ego.

The most powerful impediment to the Gospel going forth in the world is the skeptic. A skeptic—not the lost, but rather those that are redeemed who have spoken lies to the self.

Unfortunately, many in the church receive their inner theology from culture and not scripture.

The question that remains for the Christian Church today in America is “Will there be a major counter cultural movement” in our generation?

In the 1970’s, a major movement of faith was birthed out of the suburban experience of America—it was the “Jesus Movement”. Those young Americans who grew disenfranchised with the Hippie movement sought a truth that led to the Gospel. It was counter cultural; it was not based on business models, but on a radical life of the Gospel. I...

One of the biggest lies of the enemy is that there is no war. There is a war happening every day and every moment. It is a war that is happening in the Spirit. Yes, Jesus defeated Satan on the cross. But, Paul makes it abundantly clear that the battles to the spiritual war is still occurring. If you are Born Again, you have been saved from the penalty of sin and death. You have been empowered to defeat the powers of the enemy through the blood on the cross and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. ...

Steward Your Garden
The original call for man and woman calls out from the Garden: “Tend to the Garden”. This is the most ancient of heirloom seeds of our faith, and one that needs to be remembered in the age of the suburb and the city. This Sunday, Pastor David returns from the State of Montana. While in Montana, he had Divine appointments that revealed a necessity to steward the land which has been given to each son and daughter of God. As we, as a society look to acquire more, let us not neglect the importance of pruning, and tendi...

1st Century Urgency
First century Believers had a sense of urgency for the Kingdom of God and Jesus’ return. The New Testament is filled with verses depicting the coming of the Lord and the sense of urgency for the Gospel. The early church was compelled to live a sanctified life devoted to Jesus and to quickly spread the Gospel. They had a Spirit of Urgency. This Sunday, Pastor David continues the series on “Heirloom Seeds” looking at the lessons from the first and second centuries. Let us look inside and determine if we have a spirit of urgency like t...

Art & Value of the Heirloom
Heirlooms: those physical items which are handed down to family members through the generations. Most families have one, a knick-knack or a valued object. Many times, it comes with a story, a memory from the past. In the Spirit, there are heirlooms in our faith which have been handed down through the generations. The problem is many in the church prefer the new trend, the flashy and the modern. There is nothing wrong with this, but it is a problem if one forgets about the heirloom of heritage of our spiritual ancestors. In agriculture, there...

Jesus: Rabbi
Rabbi: teacher or great one. Jesus is the Son of God, and He was a carpenter. Yet, in the culture of first century Israel, He was also called Rabbi. To be a rabbi, one needs students or disciples. What does it mean to call Jesus Rabbi? In turn, what does it mean to be called a disciple? This week, Pastor David will culminate the “Rediscovering Jesus” sermon series on understanding the paradigm of Rabbi and student. Today, there is a spirit on earth which has created a “Self-Imposed Leper Colony”. This spirit binds men’s hea...

Rediscovering Jesus: The Angel of The Lord
One of my favorite elements of the biblical text are christophanies. A christophany is a visible manifestation or appearance of Christ before His human incarnation. Meaning, Jesus showing up in the older testament. Many believe that when the Angel of the Lord is manifested in the Bible, it is Jesus Himself. There is quite compelling evidence that this in fact true. By viewing Jesus in the older testament, we can see some of His nature that is sometimes missed when only seeing Jesus in the New Testament. The Hebrew word for Angel simply means Messenger...

Rediscovering Jesus: The Living Stone in an Age of Fragility
In the past several months, the world has seen the fragility of the foundation stones in which the world constructs. These foundation stones to the world: financial prosperity, healthcare, systems of government, and the rights given to citizens, are all noble creations. They are founded on biblical principles, and the Lord sees value in them. But, when man lays his own foundation stones, they are movable, fragile and not longstanding. Quickly these stones can break down due to their inherent fragility. There is a better stone; a living stone, a cornerstone which is Jesus. This stone is...

Rediscovering Jesus: He Who Tore the Veil
Jesus bore our sin and purchased a new relationship with the Father: free from sin, abundant in life and a reconciliation between mankind. There is yet a power and an authority that Jesus released: He is the one who tore the veil in the Temple. Upon Jesus’ last words “It is finished”, the veil in the temple that separated the Holy of Holies from the people was torn in two. This signified a release of the Holy Spirit upon the followers of Jesus which culminated in the book of Acts. This Sunday let us celebrate the outpouring of the Holy Spirit...

To “Rediscover Jesus” is to know Him not by a mere title, but by His position. A position displays an authority and a need. Jesus, as Lamb of God, displays both an authority and a need. Why did Jesus need to come as a Lamb? Why a need for a blood sacrifice? Most importantly, why do you and I need a sacrifice to wipe away our sin? These are all distinct realities to the Christian walk. Many of us know the answers to these questions. But this week, let us learn the depth to the answers of thes...

Rahab’s Hope – Jamie Fitt
Often, God hides his treasures in the most unlikely vessels. What can a prostitute teach us about hope and more importantly, the God of hope? Surprisingly, this story found in Joshua 2 sets the tone for this extremely important theme in Scripture. In 1 Corinthians 13 Paul states that hope is a key aspects of our Christian life, but few understand what hope really is from a biblical perspective. More than a whimsical and fleeting desire, hope, properly understood, is a powerful force that pulls us into our future. “Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in...

But the most important question to ask ourselves is “Who is Jesus to me?” In John 14:6 Jesus said: ” I am the way, and the truth, and the life.” No one comes to the Father except through me.” There are no shortcuts to heaven.

Removing The Masks Men Wear – Dave Greenockle
It has been said that there are 9 total masks (or images) that men hide behind. This is important because the masks hide the true nature of the Lord in you. Some include: the athletic mask, the know it all mask, and of course the stoic mask. They are a false image of what one presents before others to hide the true self. Unfortunately, this often is handed down to the next generation of young men who watch their male-role models adopt and hide behind a mask. Why hide? What are you trying to keep a secret?
