A Journey to Seeing Yourself Through the Eyes of Jesus
How Marriage Reflects Spiritual Truths
Over the next two weeks we are going to take a look at a very interesting interaction Jesus had with some religious leaders and a woman. Let’s read the text first and then we will talk about the lesson we can learn about Jesus. You will know this story as the woman...
Why Jesus Offers the Woman at the Well Living Water
During Bible times, women were often seen as a lower class to the men. Men had more rights than women, and were generally treated better. Secondly, the Jews and the Samaritans disliked each other. Dislike may not be a strong enough word. They despised each other. Why?...
Life After Failure: King David’s Family History of Adultery
When we read about King David’s life in the Bible (1 Samuel 16, 2 Samuel, 1 Kings, 1 Chronicles), we tend to think about such stories as his defeat of the giant Goliath (1 Samuel 17) and the bringing in of the Ark of the Covenant (2 Samuel 6). But David started...
A Heavenly Broadcast: An Important Message for This Time in History

God’s Intentions for who Should be a Leader
The Lord has been telling many of his prophets (including Brett and I) that he is uncovering those things hidden in the dark. In Mark Jesus tells us those things that have been hidden will be made manifest. “For nothing is hidden except to be made manifest; nor is...
It all Begins and Ends with Jesus
Everything begins with Jesus. He is the Alpha and Omega (in Greek), the Aleph and Tav (in Hebrew), the A to Z (in English). He is the beginning and the ending and everything in between. What’s in between the letters A & Z? The whole rest of the alphabet. That’s...
Living According to the Flesh vs. the Spirit
