Preeminent Worship

Published by

Worship songs nowadays are becoming more about- breakthroughs, miracles signs, and wonders.  That’s good, but not good enough! In other cases, worship has become more about the worship leader – his/her talent:  how he/she sounds how he/she looks is the song current or fire etc… The magnificence and grandeur of Jesus is the last thing we consider – if we ever do, for a worship set.  We want the glory of the Lord to be made manifest in and through worship – but we fail to  invoke  His redemption work, the wonder of the cross, and the awe inspiring splendor of Jesus.  No matter why He never shows up in His fullness, and the worshipper left wanting for more.  When you sing or lead the church in praise of Jesus, let His life, death, and resurrection- His current ministry and His forever reign – take priority , and be the center attraction . Only then can we elevate worship to the place it needs to be. I would argue – that everything aforementioned – (breakthroughs, …

A restful trust in His authority 

Published by

“He did not speak to them without a parable, but privately to his own disciples he explained everything. And he awoke and rebuked the wind and said to the sea, “Peace! Be still!” And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. He said to them, “Why are you so afraid? Have you still no faith?” And they were filled with great fear and said to one another, “Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?”” ‭‭Mark‬ ‭4‬:‭34‬, ‭39‬-‭41‬ ‭ESV‬‬ When Jesus fell asleep in the boat during a massive storm – it was a purposeful and deliberate action.  One that was meant to move His disciples to a posture of restful trust – instead – they were fearful of losing their lives and blamed Jesus for not caring enough.  If Jesus didn’t care – He would not have been in that boat. Three questions for us: You see…  sleeping,  for Jesus, does not mean unawareness or indifference to dangers surrounding Him or His followers. It means absolute confidence …

At just the right time

Christmas Note “But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons.” Galatians 4:4-5 ESV What dies the fullness of time mean? The scripture says there is a time and a season for everything and everyone. My time and season may vary greatly from yours. But it is important to keep this truth in the back of your mind when waiting on a promise to be fulfilled or trusting God to answer a prayer. We see this on full display in the arrival of Jesus. It had been foretold or prophesied long ago that God would send a Savior – One who would bring salvation and rescue His people from they sin by coming into their world, dying, and resurrecting from the dead. But God had to align everything for His arriving. Take a look at the following six factors that God had to bring about before Christ’s arrival. …

A Message About your Future

Published by

The scripture under discussion today is one among many that changed the course of my life forever. I want to talk about the future – but allow me to go back about twenty-five years to when I first met the Lord and understood that He had a plan for my life. It was an eye opener – a treasured discovery that sparked in me a curiosity to understand all the things God had planned for life and my future. The first passage that really got the ball rolling for me is found in Acts 13:36 For when David had served God’s purpose in his own generation, he fell asleep; he was buried with his fathers and his body decayed. This passage blew my mind. So if God had a purpose for David’s life in his generation, does that mean that God has a plan for me in my generation? I went-really? That God has a purpose for me in my generation. What is it? The first sermon I ever worked on was based on a …

Laying hold of the Willingness of God

Published by

There is one word about prayer that makes the entire experience meaningful. It is the bedrock of what prayer is all about, firmly anchored in the character of God. Take it away and the worshiper is flooded with doubt. Take it alway and prayers hit the ceiling and bounce back. Take it away and the prayer life is sapped of all its enjoyment. This one word makes prayer possible. This one word brings the worshiper back again and again. This one word assures the worshiper that God hears and longs to answer. This one word causes prayer to soar to nights unknown This one word is the anchor for all the promises of God. #WILLINGNESS Martin Luther said it best: #prayer is not overcoming God's reluctance. It is laying hold of His willingness. — Walter Bright (@WaltBright) January 23, 2015 Everything is covered Salvation “Fear not, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.” Luke 12:32 Healing “And a leper came to him, imploring him, and kneeling said to …

Not by might nor by power

Published by

After Israel returned from their 70 year Babylonian exile- God raised up a prophet of restoration. His name was Zechariah. His ministry was to encourage and mobilize God’s people to accomplish a task that they had begun – but lost the momentum for completion. I’m I talking to anybody today who God assigned a task to accomplish but you lost your momentum? Due to adversed circumstances, demonic opposition, or jealous people – you lost your momentum. God says, get ready for acceleration… He said to tell you that it will not happen by might, nor by power. Might represents – a collective of super smart and innovative people. You’ve assembled a team of gifted leaders and very talented people – God says, you did good – but there’s another source. Power represents – the one superstar, the show stopper, the headliner, the gifted speaker, the talented musician. You thought, if we can only get him, if we can only get her – it’s gonna be a game changer – but God says you did well …

When people abandon you, and others blame you: 7 Things to consider

Published by

When people abandon you, and others blame you for what went wrong – what should be your attitude? 7 Things I am learning about that: 1. Take responsibility. No matter how out of your control the situation was, it happened on your watch. And as a leader, everyone involved should feel like you genuinely take responsibility. 2. Commit your feelings to the Lord. In any event, He is bigger than your feelings. When the criticisms, judgments, and abandonment become real and you feel rotten, commit your feelings to Him. 3. Seek wisdom from trusted friends and leaders. See it as a teachable moment. 4. Keep your heart from becoming resentful and bitter by inviting God into the situation. 5. Often times when we are misunderstood we want to make everyone aware of our righteousness. Don’t seek to justify yourself or your actions. Let your heart settle in the fact that God saw how much you invested and how much you still care. 6. Care enough to pray – not for God to straighten them out …
