Romans 6:11 – Be ALIVE TO GOD, alert to Him, through Jesus Christ our Lord!
Faith is something that God has planted within each one of us. Our faith was meant to be active. This means that our faith should be operational. We were never meant to be passive Christians. Faith is a journey that our hearts have to take. Faith is not some strange value. It is something alive…
WAITING IS PART OF LIFE Have you ever noticed how much of our lives is taken up by waiting? We wait in line to be served. We wait for our children to get out of school. We wait for a new car we have ordered. We wait to move into a new house we have…
Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 To EVERYTHING there is a SEASON, and a TIME for every matter or purpose under heaven: A time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to pluck up what is planted, A time to kill and a time to heal, a time to break down…
FRUITFUL IN ANY CIRCUMSTANCE But you may say, ‘If you knew my circumstances you would understand why I cannot produce fruit.’ Perhaps you have a boss who is destroying you. Perhaps you have a spouse who is undermining you. Perhaps you have to live in a situation that makes fruitfulness difficult. But God wants us…
CONNECTED TO THE VINE But how is this possible? How can we be fruitful Christians? It starts with a vital, living connection to the vine. Jesus tells us that He is the vine and we need to be connected to Him. This is the only way in which we can produce fruit. John 15:4 Take…
I REALLY WANT THIS LIFE. I believe that we all want this life. Why would we not want this full and satisfied life? John 1:4 ‘In Him was life, and that life was the light of men.’ This life that God has for us, is like light in a dark place. The fact that God…
A FULL AND SATISFIED LIFE IS POSSIBLE. The answer is YES. It is possible. Jesus made it possible for each one of us. John 10:10 ‘I (Jesus) have come that they may have life and have it to the full.’ I believe that this can become a reality. As Jesus becomes our life, this promise…
HOW DO WE OVERCOME? 1. Through being connected to God. It is His plan for us to live a life of overcoming. This is living on top. Galatians 2:20 ‘It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me.’ When this happens we can experience a lifestyle of overcoming. How does Christ live…
THE SOURCE OF LIFE Where can we find this life? I believe that none of us want to just exist. We all want to live life to the full and experience all that God has for us. For more life we need to go to the source of life. John 6:48 ‘I am the bread…
What are you going to do about it? You cannot remove the barrier by yourself and you cannot save yourself, and neither can helping others nor doing good remove this barrier. If sin results in us being cut off from God is there no hope for us? Has God left us in our misery? What…
