Identity
Encourage Yourself in God’s Word
I was encouraging a friend the other day and was reminded of this confession of faith that I had wrote for myself during a challenging time in my life around 2005. I felt now was a good time to share it because others may feel like they are alone and don’t always have someone around…
Read MoreThe Happy Backslider
As a pastor who enjoys staying in touch with people through Facebook it is always sad to see backsliders living their lives without God. However, I’ve noticed that the ones that grieve me the most are not those who seem to be in a “struggle” because I know they usually will come back to God…
Read MoreI Am Not Ashamed
I wanted to openly and boldly set the record straight about what kind of preacher I am. I am a health and wealth, word of faith, name it and claim it, prosperity preacher! Why? Because that is what Jesus was. He was not a sickness and debt, word of unbelief, doubt it and lose it,…
Read MoreTime May Forget You, But God Never Will
I was thinking the other day about how meaningless the life of an unsaved person is because all they do here on earth will be forgotten in eternity. After the Great White Throne Judgment they will be cast into the lake of fire and their entire life will be forever forgotten by those in God’s Kingdom,…
Read MorePrayer Walk
As I was spending time walking and praying tonight I really felt God press this question on my heart, “Is what you’re living for worth Christ dying for?” Ofcourse, I’ve answered this question what seems like a 100x in the past- but each time God asks me to do a “self-examination” of my life I…

Read MoreThe Mind of Christ
After an hour and a half long talk with my pastor and mentor, Anthony Freeman, Nancy and I were blown away by the revys (revelations) about the “mind of Christ” he shared with us. That following Sunday I spent most of the time in our church’s leadership meetings discussing it and how it relates to…
Read MoreWhen I Say
When I say that ‘I am a Disciple’, I am not whispering, “I’m lost and still a sinner,” but I’m shouting “I’ve been saved, sanctified, filled with the Holy Ghost, and am the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus.” When I say ‘I am a Disciple’, I don’t speak of this with cultural shame and…
Read MoreYour Soul is Saved According to 1 Peter, So Live Like It!
I have been obsessed with the believer’s identity in Christ the last couple of weeks! First, I was just needing to encourage myself and remember who God called me to be. Second, I felt led of the Lord to share a sermon series on the subject so that our church could also be encouraged, click here…
Read MoreWho Are You?
This past Sunday I preached a very practical message on practical Christian living called, “Your Identity in Christ.” The simple truth was, “when you are in Christ, your temporary circumstances do not determine your identity but rather the Word of God declares who are.” The best example I gave was when I was born to…
