1 John 4:16 So we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him. It is not enough to know the truth—We must also believe the truth. Knowing is in the mind, but belief is in the heart and as we grow in the knowledge of God through His Word, we come to understand that unbelief is a sin and among all sins, unbelief ranks among the highest and it is an evil that keeps us from cultivating a relationship with God and walking in the plan and path that He has ordained for our lives.

JEREMIAH 31 : 35 Thus says the Lord, Who gives the sun for a light by day,The ordinances of the moon and the stars for a light by night, Who disturbs the sea, And its waves roar (The Lord of hosts is His name):  36 “If those ordinances depart From before Me, says the Lord, Then the seed of Israel shall also cease From being a nation before Me forever.”  Why Do We, Believers In Christ Continue To Stand With Israel When It Seems Like Everyone Is Against Them?

2 Corinthians 4:7 “we are like clay jars in which this treasure is stored. The real power comes from God and not from us.”  The Amplified Bible says it this way; But we have this precious treasure [the good news about salvation] in [unworthy] earthen vessels [of human frailty], so that the grandeur and surpassing greatness of the power will be [shown to be] from God [His sufficiency] and not from ourselves. God goes beyond just ordinary vessels, God uses broken vessels. In other words. He uses imperfect people who put their trust in a perfect God.  In this way, when a brother or sister in Christ accomplishes something great,  all men will know that it is God who has manifested His power and glory through them. And in that way, all will know that it was not the work of men but the work of God."   Join in with us as Pastor Art dives into the story of Gideon to pull out the wealth of God's wisdom, revelation and understanding hidden within the pages of this story, we believe you will be blessed Support the show Growing our inner man as we connect with God's Word

Ephesians 5:31-32, "For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh. This is a great mystery, but I am speaking with reference to Christ and the church".

Mark 13:13 And you will be hated by all for My name’s sake. But he who endures to the end shall be saved. Translated or put into context with the topic of endurance, it means my assignment is not to be the fastest or the physically strongest. My assignment is to endure. To endure I have to be spiritually strong, To endure I have to outlast the attacks of the enemy, the evil and darkness of this world  We have to stand!

MARK 12:17 Then Jesus said to them, “Give back to Caesar what is Caesar’s and to God what is God’s.” And they were amazed at Him. Faith is the means of exchange in the kingdom – faith is how God operates, faith is how we are designed to operate – the idea of being a sheep is being totally reliant upon The Shepherd. The sheep have complete trust in the Shepherd leading, guiding, providing and protecting them  In our message today we’re taking a look into faithfulness in a different way  How faith belongs to God and through our faithfulness We're giving back to God, what is already His!

Revelation 1: 10-11 On the Lord’s Day I was in the Spirit, and I heard behind me a loud voice like a trumpet, which said: “Write on a scroll what you see and send it to the seven churches: to Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia and Laodicea.” Many people, myself included  are intrigued by the Book of Revelation however, this book, more than any other, is one that has caused many to be led into speculation, misguided doctrine, cult like practices, divisiveness, strife and all sorts of wrong beliefs, therefore, I purposely avoid indulging in interpreting passages relating to the end times by assigning their meaning to specific current events.  Jesus said, He’s coming back for a church without spot or wrinkle, in other words, His focus is on The Church, His church, the Body of Christ. not a denomination, not a mega church or a church that considers itself the best....but His Church! In this message Pastor Art takes a closer look at what many believe is the most important aspect of The Book of Revelation which is The Letters to the 7 Churches.      Support the show Growing our inner man as we connect with God's Word

2 CORINTHIANS 4:13 It is written: “I believed; therefore I have spoken.” Since we have that same spirit of faith, we also believe and therefore speak, What we believe, we will speak and like it or not, our words have power Mark 4:24 says "be careful what you hear," “consider carefully what you hear,” or "pay close attention to what you hear." Because the word we receive will become the word we believe and will lead to the words we speak,  In 2 Corinthian 4:13, Paul is quoting Psalm 116:10 and making the point that we have the same spirit of faith as David, Moses, Abraham and all the great men and women of the bible, we, like they, believe and so we speak! Jesus restored the authority that Adam lost and that's why He's telling us to speak to the mountains in our life, He said we would speak to the sycamine tree and it would obey us.

Genesis 12 1Then the LORD said to Abram, “Leave your country, your kindred, and your father’s household, and go to the land I will show you 2 I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, so that you will be a blessing. 3 I will bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you; and all the families of the earth will be blessed through you” Thanks for joining us for another Friday night Young Adult Connection message, as Brother Jeff ministers on God's Covenant with Abraham and how all we who are in Christ Jesus are heirs of that promise.

Joshua 1:9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” God promised Joshua that as He was with Moses He will also be with him. The same promise holds true for each and every believer today for through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, God is with us wherever we go but the question is, do we acknowledge His presence, do we reverence His presence and are we truly appreciating the Gift of Fellowship we have with God by His Holy Spirit in Christ?

Romans 5:15 But the free gift is not like the offense. For if by the one man’s offense many died, much more the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, abounded to many. As you join us in listening to this powerful message from Pastor Bobby Romo, the question arises, Are you living for yourself or are you living for Jesus?  We all know that because of sin that there is a heaven and hell to choose. But it's not only about that because Jesus didn't come into this world just so we could say a prayer and if we have an accident on the way home and die we'll go to heaven but rather Jesus came into this world for a transformation in our life so we become new creatures in Christ Jesus.  It's not that we're going to heaven, it's that heaven can come and live in us so that the kingdom of God can have the rule and reign in our lives as we follow the kingdom of God from within, not from without.

2 Corinthians 5:17  therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new As a born again believer, your parent's DNA and genetics do not determine your destiny or purpose, neither does your past, your wrong thinking or the bad things that have happened to you. Not even the neighborhood and environment you grew up in, they do not determine your destiny or purpose.  You are in Christ and as such, you are a New Creation and your purpose and destiny are in Christ because your identification is with Him and not with anything else!   Support the show Growing our inner man as we connect with God's Word

Send us a text MATTHEW 24:10 And then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another.  Because of Adam and Eve’s sin, they becoming emotionally ruled people, people led by emotions rather than the Spirit of God. Most of us become offended because of what people have done to us or how we believe we've been mis-treated by others. So offense is very common, its the number 1 reason why  so many people do not get along with one or another and the key reason why so many people remain isolated, angry and offended. Satan’s goal is to turn a warm heart into a cold one,  so if you want to play into the hands of the enemy,  stay offended in your life.  But if you want to stop playing into the devil's hands, then it's time that we learn how to stop being offended.  Support the show Growing our inner man as we connect with God's Word

Matthew 11 28 "Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and  I will give you rest. 29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls Jesus is addressing all of us who labor and carrying burdens; we who are struggling and sometimes wonder if we will ever make it through. Jesus yoke and burden was to do the Father’s will, that was His relationship with the Father. And to us he said, “if you’re struggling, if you’re perplexed, if you’re anxious, if you’re frustrated, if you’re not satisfied with the way your life is going, come to me. I can reveal the Father to you and that will be a life-changing revelation.   It will give you a new sense of belonging and bring you into true rest and through the rest I give to you, you will experience restoration.

Acts 8:14 Now when the apostles who were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent Peter and John to them, 15 who, when they had come down, prayed for them that they might receive the Holy Spirit. 16 For as yet He had fallen upon none of them. They had only been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. 17 Then they laid hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.
