Sometimes, as preachers when we talk about prayer it seems redundant. Anytime someone says they need something or they’re having trouble our answer is always prayer. To some maybe we sound like broken records, just repeating the same thing over again. However, it truly is the best advice we can give. If you are currently going through
In my last blog, Extravagant Worship Giving Jesus Our All, I spoke about knowing Jesus’ value when we worship Him. Worship shouldn’t be something that costs us nothing. The Bible says that we must worship in Spirit and truth (John 4:23). It’s the definition of being a ‘true’ worshiper. Mary poured out a very expensive oil that
One of my favourite passages of Scripture in the Bible is the one where Mary pours expensive perfume over Jesus’ head as an act of extravagant worship. She loves Jesus so much that she is willing to give Him something so precious to her heart. Mary wasn’t ashamed. She wanted everyone to know how important Jesus was to
It seems that these days the passion for Jesus is getting less and less. Even though more people are receiving Jesus in their hearts it appears that the love of many has grown cold. Now this shouldn’t surprise us as Jesus prophesied it would happen (Matthew 24:12). As I read the book of Acts I see a
God never designed us to live beneath our limits. He didn’t intend for us to live just an ordinary everyday life. He called us to something greater than what we think we can do. Often, Christians are living beneath their potential. It’s sad, but it’s true. This isn’t God’s will for our lives. He wants us to

Jesus died on the cross so that we could be saved, healed and delivered. Don’t only receive your salvation. Receive all that God has for you! I
Did you know that when you gave your life to Jesus you received a new identity? In the instant that Jesus came into your heart, you became a child of God. “But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His Name” (John 1:12).
Most Christians today don’t like that we must do works. We are saved by grace and works are dead. However, there are still a measure of works we are to do as we live a life of love for Christ. Since Jesus lives on the inside I want to do what is right. I want to live a life
Often, we see our situations and become discouraged. We don’t know how to deal with them. It’s for this reason Christians walk around depressed. Instead of staying in this state of mind, we must come to a place of praise. David declares, “in His Presence is fullness of joy” Psalm 16:11. Depression and discouragement are real feelings, but
Many years ago, I received the revelation that the church isn’t a building, but rather the people who attend it are “the church”. I was happy to receive this revelation. This truth helped mobilize and get me out of the pew and preach the Gospel. I wanted to not only attend church but to be it. Quickly,
