When the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the children of Israel went onward. Exodus 40:36

This is what made the children of Israel different from all of the other nations of the world, the presence of God was with them. The presence brought them protection, guidance, and light. The presence of God with the children of Israel guaranteed victory over all of their enemies. When would they get in trouble? There was always problems when they didn’t follow the cloud. How does this messag..

It was the good pleasure of God . . . to reveal his Son in me. Galatians 1:15–16

One of the strangest statements in the Bible was this, “among those born of women there has not risen one greater than John the Baptist; but he who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he”. Two amazing parts to this statement, John was greater than all the Old Testament prophets and the least believer in the New Testament was greater than John. How could the simplest Christian be greater than the great..

“Whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. Acts 2:21

Salvation is supernatural, it is totally the work of God. Do you remember the day you were saved or born again? It happens in many different ways but has very similar effects in all of us. It usually starts with a conviction of sin in your life. The world loves to gloss over sinful behavior, even church people have fallen down that rabbit hole. But at the end of the day Christ died to save sinners. In order for you to quali..

Phil. 3:7,8 ¶ But what things were gain to me, these I have counted loss for Christ. Yet indeed I also count all things loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish, that I may gain Christ.

Have you ever been bored in church? There are usually one or two sources of this boredom. The obvious one is the apathetic, backslidden condition of the hearer. The things of religion are boring because their hea..

And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion.Revelation 14:1

Beyond the grave will happen again tonight, can you even believe it?! We have had several hundred performances, 18 different casts, many thousands of conversions, and it still goes on 18 years later. Have you ever stopped to think about why Beyond the Grave is so successful? No professional actors, no professional script writers, no budget for costumes or professional sets; what is the secret? It has to come down to two thing..

John 9:5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. One of His first acts was to create light itself, “Let their be light”. If you read the creation account closely you will see that God created light before He created the sun, moon, and stars. Light is one of God’s great mysteries. It carries heat, energy, and visibility. One of the things we take most for granted is one of the greatest blessings and need that we have; see..

MERRY WEDNESDAY BY PARRIS

“Blessed are the chosen! Blessed the guest at home in your place! We expect our fill of good things in your house, your heavenly manse. All your salvation wonders are on display in your trophy room. Earth-Tamer, Ocean-Pourer, Mountain-Maker, Hill-Dresser, Muzzler of sea storm and wave crash, of mobs in noisy riot— Far and wide they’ll come to a stop, they’ll stare in awe, in wonder. Dawn and dusk take turns calling, “Come and worship.” PS.65:2-8
Jesus spoke of going a..

John 9:4,5 I must work the works of Him who sent Me while it is day; the night is coming when no one can work. As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.

Who sinned, this man or his parents that he was born blind. Doesn’t that sound familiar. If something bad happens it surely must be your fault. That is exactly what Job’s friends had said to Job. All these bad things happening in your life Job, something must be wrong. If you listen carefully to what Jesus said that is not alwa..

Joseph is a fruitful bough, a fruitful bough by a fountain; his branches run over the wall. The archers have sorely grieved him, and shot at him, and persecuted him: but his bow abode in strength. Genesis 49:22–24

This is a prophesy that was actually spoken over my life many, many years ago. Jacob was prophesying over his son Joseph, the mantle of God had been on Joseph all of his life. This word describes the life that Joseph had experienced; he had been betrayed by his brothers, persecuted by..

Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.
John 5:8
I love the story of the pool of Bethesda, multitudes just waiting by the pool for a miracle. Suddenly, the miracle worker Himself came walking up to the pool. “Do you want to get well?” “What kind of question is that?”, the lame man must have said to himself. Of course he wanted to get well, why else would he be lying by that pool. But did he really want to get well? Many of us like our excuses. They give us a safe place to hide. If..
