Who Are You Really?

Who are you really? Isn’t it strange that we often refer to ourselves in the negative? Even stories of changed lives in the Bible we remember and refer to in the negative. Listen as Mark shares how to change this mindset and apply it to Bible illustrations and our self-talk that defines who we are …

Grace and Offenses

It is easy to receive the “Grace Message” and become so focused on God’s love for us and grace toward us that we forget that there is a whole lot more to living in this world. For example, how are our relationships with others? Are there unresolved issues? Are there offenses? Jesus was very practical …

Are You Going to Open the Scroll?

Those who speak against God’s grace are rejecting His plan, His perfect work. They loudly proclaim objection to “the grace message,” holding it out as inferior, a message that is true on the surface, but really one to be cautious of in reality. They act as if they will march right into John’s vision in …

God is Satisfied

The plan of God is so simple, yet so beyond our humanity to fully comprehend. It is multi-layered, the peeling away of layers granting us an un derstanding of an additional glorious part of His plan.  Paul refers to it as the “mystery of Christ.”  God is constantly willing to reveal to us another level …

Get Out of the Boat

A while back, during the worship service in our church, the Holy Spirit spoke to me about the time the disciples saw Jesus walking on the water.  I was reminded that there were 12 disciples.  Why didn’t the other 11 venture out onto the water with Peter?  I thought of 3 possible reasons: Fear. Perhaps they …

Because the King Says So

2 Samuel 9:8 says, “Mephibosheth bowed down and said, ‘What is your servant that you take an interest in a dead dog like me?’”  Through the years religion has taught us a response not unlike Mephibosheth’s response.  It teaches us that, even though we’re in Christ, we are still evil, and we’re unworthy.  In essence, like Mephibosheth, …

Eyes to the Blind

Job 29:15 – Job in defending himself said as part of his discourse, “I was eyes to the blind and feet to the lame.”  This verse can brand our hearts with God’s intention for us.  He wants us to be “eyes to the blind and feet to the lame.”  Eyes to see His love & …
