Matthew 11:24
Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.
I think I’ve put too much emphasis on the last part of this sentence (“…and it will be yours”) and not enough on the middle “…believe that you have received it.” Now, I’m [...]

Matthew 26:20-21, 25
When evening came, Jesus was reclining at the table with the Twelve. And while they were eating, he said, “I tell you the truth, one of you will betray me” … Then Judas, the one who would betray him, said, “Surely not I, Rabbi?” Jesus answered, “Yes, it is you.”
Here’s the thing… Jesus [...]

Matthew 13: 3-9
Then he told them many things in parables, saying: “A farmer went out to sow his seed. As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up. Some fell on rocky places, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly, because [...]

OK… this is it. No more diet cokes (or sodas) after tonight. Does that sound like a little thing to you? Not me. If it’s true that we are to “add” a prayer for each time we “give up” something for Christ during the Lenten season… I will be quite prayed up.
Tomorrow is Ash [...]

In a few short days, it will once again be the time of Lent. It is my desire to once again do a series of devotions during this special time of the year. I believe the Lord is leading me to creating these posts from my personal devotions while slowly reading through the scriptures. In [...]
Keys of the Kingdom
Posted in Sermon Echoes, tagged faith, keys, kingdom, love, non-believers on February 8, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Weekend message was actually quite provocative for me as Pastor elaborated on Matthew 16:19, “I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.”
And I thought about the process of using those keys [...]
