iServe - Part 3 - Just Jump In!
The emotion typically felt when jumping off a diving board for the very first time is fear. But after we hit the water and find we survived it, we scramble to get in line for another jump. The Bible contains a similar kind of principle for us in Psalm 34:8. It simply says, “Taste and see that the Lord is good.” There are some things in life that you will never know how good they are until you just jump in.

iServe Part 2 - Priests, Procrastinators and Producers
Isn’t it true that today it’s very easy to become a consumer of Christianity---Where Jesus and worship just become another commodity to be marketed and tailored to my tastes? But do you realize that, in Christ, YOU ARE A PRIEST, fully empowered and entrusted to participate in helping advance the kingdom of God. Life as a priest is more than just taking in Christ, it is breathing Him out through our lives. Do not procrastinate -- breathe out!

All The Kings Horses, All The Kings Men - Part 9 - The Return of the King
Jesus was born in a stable, worked as a carpenter, and had nothing resembling a life of wealth or privilege. He was scourged, spit upon, and hung on a cross---mocked by a thorny crown and a sign labeling him the King of the Jews. But don't be deceived! The King is returning and at His appearance, there will be no doubt that He was (and is) Lord, and King of all Kings!

All The Kings Horses, All The Kings Men - Part 7 - Strangling Strongholds
In Christ we are a new creation and the old person is gone. But we have a choice as to whether we allow the enemy to get a foothold in our life. The battle begins in the mind and can progress until there is a stronghold over an area of our life. To prevent and strangle these strongholds, we need to first understand the traps the enemy uses to tempt us.

All The Kings Horses, All The Kings Men - Part 5 - When God Does Not Heal
As in Jesus' day, healing is evidence of God's Kingdom breaking into our world. But sometimes our God doesn’t heal or chooses not to remove our suffering. The Bible give some very definite reasons why God’s miraculous power and presence of the Kingdom may be withheld.

All The Kings Horses, All The Kings Men - Part 4 - Why God Heals
The vast majority of Christians today would say, sure, I believe God can heal. “God can do anything.” But in our hearts and actions we often say something completely different. We need a balanced, healthy Biblical perspective on what has become a divisive and often times neglected part of Christianity--but a major part of the Kingdom Jesus preached!

All The Kings Horses, All The Kings Men - Part 3 - Borrow From Tomorrow
We live between the now-and-not-yet of God's Kingdom. It's here, but not fully here until Jesus returns! We see glimpses of it, but too often suffering, sickness and hardship lead us to doubt God's presence and power. Jesus taught us that we can "borrow from tomorrow" and see His Kingdom come in greater power in our lives and our world. Learn how...

All the Kings Horses, All The Kings Men - Part 1 - Once Upon a Time...
As you go about your daily life, do you walk "open-eyed" about the war going on all around you? Do you relegate the devil to fairy tales? It is essential that we pray the prayer that Elisha prayed, “Lord open my eyes, that I can see”.

Speak! Pt. 5 - Praying with Power
How do you align your words with God and pray with power? It begins with understanding that prayer is not trying to get God to move. Prayer is cooperating with God and releasing the power of his Holy Spirit that he has placed within you so that he can work in your life!

Speak! Part 3 - The Amazing Power of the Tongue
The sad reality is that while our tongues are contained in a cage of teeth and lips, they still escape. It is not intelligence that keeps the lock on that cage; it is wisdom & it’s the power of God that can control it. We need to pray what David prayed in Psalm 141:3 "Set a guard over my mouth, O LORD; keep watch over the door of my lips." Why? Because the tongue has amazing power.

Speak! Part 2 - The High Cost of Free Speech
Can we speak freely? As Americans we're grateful to have the right to free speech, but as citizens of God's Kingdom, do we have freedom to speak without consequences? Consider the high cost of free speech if as Proverbs says, "death and life are in the power of the tongue!"
