Pastor’s Weekly Faith Nuggets

Beloved, Ever watched that show on television called “American Greed?” It’s one of my favorites. It never ceases to amaze me how some people will almost literally sell their mother to make a buck so they can live large! Like in a typical episode of American Greed, the devil is nothing but a Ponzi schemer!… Read More »

Beloved, How do the words “Senator Jesus” strike you? If you live in a representative democracy, you have a Representative that is on a sliding scale from “imperfect” to “fraud.” But, I want you to know that you have the perfect Senator in Jesus. He is not positioning himself to win the next election instead… Read More »

Beloved,  Did you know that we are redeemed from the curse of the law? Galatians 3:13 says so. What does that mean? Redemption from the curse of the law is redemption from the consequences of disobeying the law of God!  Jesus our Redeemer bore the punishment for breaking God’s law on our behalf. We are guiltless when we receive our forgiveness in… Read More »

Beloved,  Jesus said in Mark 11:22, “Have Faith in God.” That includes operating in Faith like God does. There is a really, good reason why Jesus said that. Operating in Faith is the only thing that will save, heal, prosper you etc! God’s Love will not save you or heal you! His Goodness, His Patience, His Mercy and… Read More »

Beloved, In Mark 16:14 Jesus sharply rebuked the 11 because they did not believe those who had seen him after he was risen! He expected more from them. He had told them that he would be risen. No wonder the Lord upbraided them, that is, to criticize severely, reproach severely or scold vehemently. But then the Lord turned… Read More »

Beloved, In Mark 10:51 Jesus asked the blind beggar Bartimaeus who had come to Him what he wanted! Was it not obvious? What do you want? My autograph? A pat on the back? A hug? Why? To help him put his faith on the line. To draw his Faith out without which Jesus couldn’t do… Read More »

Beloved, King Herod wasn’t blowing hot air in Mark 6:23-24 and he proved it. In those days a man’s word was his bond, indeed his life! Verses 26-28 say that Herod regretted giving his word but he kept his word!  Is your Word your bond? Are you a promise keeper? If you are not a promise keeper,… Read More »

Beloved,  In Mark 6:23-24. King Herod told Herodias’ daughter that he would give her up to half of his kingdom if she asked for it. Her Mother wanted John‘s head instead! Alas, how costly is unforgiveness!  Mom had a grudge, but the daughter could have said “Mother, are you sure? Look what all we can get instead.” Unfortunately, she too was… Read More »

Beloved, In Mark 6:22. Herodias’ daughter pleased Herod and was told to ask for whatever she wanted. Herod swore to give her up to half of his kingdom! What do we get when we please God? We get it all! How do we please god? Hebrews 11:6 says without faith it is impossible to please… Read More »

Beloved, I heard that in 2005 the average person had the capacity to influence 10,000 people a year by just living their normal lives. Not an influencer! Today the number is  80,000 due to social media. You influence people every day, the question is in what direction and in what way? You are called to purposefully influence people… Read More »
