Jesus Who?: Our Atoning Sacrifice

This week we are studying Leviticus and Jesus as our Sacrifice, as we continue the series,  Jesus Who?  Last week we studied Genesis and got to know the Jesus of Genesis. He was part of the Trinity, the Godhead and the seed of the woman. In studying Exodus, we were introduced to Jesus, our Passover Lamb.  In the book of Leviticus,  Jesus can be seen in the sacrificial offerings and the priesthood, and the feast days (Find out more about the Feasts of the Lord here).  I will briefly touch on the sacrificial offerings. The book of Exodus ends with where God desires to Read More

Jesus Who?: Book by Book

Jesus asks the question in , “Who do you say that I am?”  What’s your answer? Can you go back to the very beginning of the Bible, book by book, and tell me who Jesus is? For the next several weeks I am going to show you Jesus, book by book. Today, let’s find Him in Genesis and Exodus. Jesus said in , “You search the Scriptures because you think they give you eternal life. But the Scriptures point to me!” In , Jesus walked with two disciples on the road to Emmaus and He explained to them using the Read More

Prepare! Storm warnings are out for the east coast as Hurricane Irma roars toward land as a Category 5 hurricane.  Storms come and go. Did you know September is actually National Preparedness Month?

Bitterness: Life Lesson from the Book of Ruth

Overcoming bitterness is another life lesson from the Book of Ruth. I am getting close to the end of my new book, 10 Life Lessons from the Book of Ruth. Here is another excerpt. Hope you enjoy it. Please leave comments. Both of these women(Naomi and Ruth) suffered great losses; however, they reacted differently to those losses. Naomi became bitter because of what she had lost (). This is Naomi’s whining (murmuring, complaining, groaning) passage. Every word out of her mouth was negative and she put the blame squarely on God. I think she forgot that God was not the Read More

No Condemnation: Stop Condemning Yourself!

Here’s a great message from guest blogger, Eve Perry: No Condemnation, Stop Condemning Yourself! I was leaving a seminar on Saturday with one of the ladies from my small group and she decided to do a selfie and take some other pictures. She took a couple of pictures of me just laughing and having fun. One of the pictures was of me laughing really hard and a normal fun picture. I sent this picture to a friend with the thought in my heart, “this will make him laugh after a tough week and a rough day at work”. He was helping Read More

Suddenlies: Godly Mushrooming

We are in a season of ‘Godly Mushrooming’ or Suddenlies. Things are speeding up in the natural and in the Spirit. Have you noticed it? The word ‘mushroom‘ has many meanings including ‘an umbrella shaped fungus’. The definition I am using today is ‘to spring up suddenly or multiply rapidly’.  The verb form of mushroom is ‘mushrooming’ meaning a sudden, rapid growth. Many species of mushrooms seemingly appear suddenly overnight, growing or expanding rapidly. It’s been so wet and rainy here in Tulsa that huge mushrooms are springing up everywhere; which inspired me to write this post. Take a look at Read More
