Identification
We tend to identify people based on their past, their family, their job, their appearance. Even the church identifies people as Christian or sinner and sinners are problematic! Jesus teaches us, through the story about Zacchaeus, that it’s not our role to assess, but to touch people who are struggling and show them the way out of where they are. He touched him,…
Wear Your Uniform
The things we say, think and do are directly related to how we see ourselves, who we identify with. Identifying with righteousness has a cost. The church is blending, not standing apart from the world as it becomes more difficult to stand for truth and what’s right. Our Christian “uniform” sets us apart and shows the world there are other choices. We…
The Genesis of Jesus
What God started in Genesis He begins again in the New Covenant. Adam, created with the very breath of God was tasked with keeping the weeds out of the Garden, creating a place of sanctuary & peace, and to fill the earth with people – God’s family. God reopened the place of peace & tranquility to us with Jesus, and we’re tasked with multiplying life – Kingdom life – in…
Weights and Measures (Zech Part 8)
Religion says we can only gain Heaven by keeping the law. God has a plan that cannot fail – a new man inside who receives direction directly from God who changes us from the inside out. He has given us His blood and His leadership so we can’t fail – but our standard must be His Word, His voice. We have the truth – we just need our Bible and a living relationship with…
The Engrafted Branch (Zech Part 4)
When we place Jesus on the throne of our minds the way the disciples did, it causes people to wonder – not at us, but at the Branch that would cause such a desire for surrender.
A Time To Be Fruitful
In this overview of the Book of Micah, Pastor Ricley talks about how God is dealing with us individually in this hour to bring the church to something she has never herself to be – fruitful. What God calls us to do, He brings to pass in our lives as we learn to wait on Him and follow His direction.
Jonah’s Message to Us
We tend to think that the story of Jonah was about Nineveh and Jonah and a whale, when in fact, the message in Jonah is about a great big God, a messenger, forgiveness and repentance.
Protect Your Oil
The Devil wants to fight against the testimony of God in the real people of God, compromising the witness in a Man of God. Finding fault erodes a person’s ability to hear through the man God sends to bear witness of Him.
We are a Sign on Earth
Many Christians desire a “ministry” in their lives and miss the point about what we’re actually doing here. Elijah was an ordinary man who knew the privilege of talking to God. We are afforded that same privilege and God wants to use our lives, our circumstances, our faith, to show the world around us how very real He is. We’re called to live a life that people can read…
Healing the Blind & the Lame
We’re in an hour when the Church can’t afford to get it’s eyes off the eternal. We no longer have the time to become entangled in earthly squabbles. If ever the light of Jesus needed to shine, it is now. If we’re going to take the message of salvation to the world, our vessels must be clean. Jesus will cleanse this temple that we are if we want Him more than we want the…
