IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT YOU BELIEVE - Things Jesus Never Said Part 5

June 13, 2016

"It doesn't matter what you believe, as long as you're sincere." Right???  WRONG!

We wrapped up the Things Jesus Never Said series yesterday and we talked about how sincerity isn't enough when it comes to belief.  We need more than sincerity; we need TRUTH!  Why?  Because it isn’t enough to believe if what I "believe in" isn’t the truth.

And that's exactly what Jesus came to reveal to us.  "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” John 14:6

Hope you've enjoyed this series as much as I have.  Stay tuned for more fun next week as start a new series titled "BRINGING AN ANCIENT TO A MODERN WORLD".  Stay tuned for more...

EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON - Things Jesus Never Said Part 4

June 6, 2016

Week 4 of the Things Jesus Never Said series and this week we talked about one of the most common misquotes of Jesus that Christians say all the time - "EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON".

"What's wrong with that?" you ask.  "Isn't that the right thing to say?  Aren't we supposed to trust that God is in control of everything?  It certainly seems like something that's probably in the Bible somewhere right?"

WRONG!  Check out the video above and listen to my thoughts on why this statement is not only untrue, but also so dangerous when used in the wrong context.

WHEN YOU FORGIVE, YOU MUST FORGET - Things Jesus Never Said Part 3

May 23, 2016

Wait a minute...are you saying that I do NOT need to forget in order to forgive?  That I can forgive someone even though I still feel hurt and pain?

Absolutely!  Why?  Because forgiving and forgetting are not the same thing!

Not only do I believe that you don't need to forget in order to forgive, I believe that in some cases, you CAN NOT forget no matter how hard you try!  But that doesn't mean you can't forgive.

How?  Check out Part 3 of Things Jesus Never Said and find out for yourself.  If you struggle with forgiveness and resentment and anger, you MUST listen to this message.

I'll Never Give You More than You Can Handle - THINGS JESUS NEVER SAID Part 2

May 16, 2016

We hear it all the time, but is it actually true?  Did Jesus ever actually say it?  Isn't it in the Bible somewhere?  Or did we just make it up?

Week 2 of Things Jesus Never Said and this week we talked about a phrase that hear (and probably say) all the time: GOD WILL NEVER GIVE YOU MORE THAN YOU CAN HANDLE.

In this message, we talk about why God does allow us to endure trials and what the purpose of those trials might be.  More importantly, we talk also talk about what our response to them should be.  Enjoy!

Our Vending Machine Who Art in Heaven

May 11, 2016

Today’s post is a recap of the first half of this past Sunday’s message – which unfortunately failed to record.  To get the full message, read the post below and then follow it up by watching the second half here.

Wait a minute…are you serious…Jesus never said that?  Are you sure?  You’re saying God doesn’t want me to be happy?  He doesn’t want me to be fulfilled?  Why would He give me a desire and then refuse to fulfill it???

You may not realize it, but we live in a world that worships happiness.  Yep, you heard me right.  We worship happiness and we have given ourselves permission to pursue it at all costs

Follow Me and I Will Give the Desires of Your Heart - THINGS JESUS NEVER SAID Part 1

May 10, 2016

This past Sunday may have been one of the most powerful and inspired messages I’ve ever preached. I honestly felt like it was God speaking and not me. It was a Spirit-led and Spirit-inspired message if I’ve ever had one, and that I think everyone NEEDS to hear it. 

So the natural result of that was that the A/V system decided to go haywire during the talk and we were only able to capture the last 18 minutes of the message on video (sorry sorry sorry).
