The Valley of Dry Bones, Ezek 37:1-14

Once again Ezekiel was carried by the spirit to a place where God showed him a vision.  This time he was carried to the valley of dry bones.  In Ezek 37:1-8, Ezekiel was instructed to prophecy to the dry bones.  In Ezek 37:9-10, he prophesied to the wind.  And in Ezek 37:11-14, God told him […]

Glorify God in Your Spirit, 1 Cor 6:20

1 Cor 6:20 says that we are to glorify God in our spirit, as well as our body.  How do you glorify God in your spirit? You glorify God in your spirit: Through spiritual transformation,2 Cor 3:18.  Rom 12:1-2, you are transformed by the renewing of your mind.  Eph 4:22-24, you are renewed in the […]

Glory in the Church, Eph 3:14-21

In Eph 3:7-8 Paul was made a minister to preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ.  Then in v.14 he prayed for the Ephesians that God would receive glory in the church.  God should receive glory in the church.  But how?  By his saints being filled with all the fulness of God, Eph […]

Keep The Unity of the Spirit, Eph 4:3

When we trusted Christ as our Savior, we were made one with him.  Through the Holy Spirit, we are in the body of Christ and we are members of one another, Rom 12:5; Eph 4:25.  So, without a doubt, there is union.  And that union is unbreakable.  We are sealed by the Holy Spirit, Eph […]

My Spirit Faileth, Ps 143:7-8

VIDEO RECORDING OF THIS SESRMON In Ps 143:7, David prayed to the Lord and said, “Hear me speedily, O Lord: my spirit faileth.”  When your spirit fails it’s entirely exhausted, it’s deficient, or it’s diminished.  It seems that a black cloud has just settled in above you, cutting you off from God.  David said, “hide […]

What happens to my body, soul, and spirit at salvation?

Something wonderful. This question concerns the doctrine of the Spirit, Soul and Body.  Many people don’t realize that every person is made of three parts: a spirit, a soul and a body.  You can see these three parts in Gen 2:7.  God made man of the dust of the earth, which was his body.  He […]

The Spirit, the Water, and the Blood, 1 Jn 5:6-8

1 Jn 5:6-8 is quite a passage of scripture in your Bible.  For the most part, Bible scholars and many preachers don’t believe that 1 Jn 5:7 should even be in your Bible.  They say that this verse is a late addition to scripture, that it isn’t in the “oldest and best manuscripts,” and that […]

Encourage Your Spirit, 1 Sam 1:15-18

There are things in your life that will affect your spirit.  And when your spirit gets down, you are in trouble.  We often think that our spirits won’t be lifted until whatever has gotten us down is resolved or is taken away.  But such is not the case.  You can let your emotions and your […]

The Death of His Saints, Ps 116:15

Ps 116:15 says, “Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints.”  The Psalmist didn’t say death is precious.  Death is horrible.  Death came from Adam’s disobedience [Rom 5:12].  God remedied our problem with death through the death of his own Son [Heb 2:14-15].  In Is 53:10-11, “it pleased the Lord […]
