Be Transformed by the Renewing of Your Mind

“And so, dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to give your bodies to God because of all he has done for you. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice—the kind he will find acceptable. This is truly the way to worship him. Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into …

I Will Make a New Covenant with You

““This command I am giving you today is not too difficult for you, and it is not beyond your reach. It is not kept in heaven, so distant that you must ask, ‘Who will go up to heaven and bring it down so we can hear it and obey?’ It is not kept beyond the sea, so far away that …

Covenant with God and One Another

““Teacher, which command in God’s Law is the most important?” Jesus said, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your passion and prayer and intelligence.’ This is the most important, the first on any list. But there is a second to set alongside it: ‘Love others as well as you love yourself.’ These two commands are pegs; everything in God’s …

Return to the Living Waters

“Jesus answered and said to her, “Everyone who drinks of this water will thirst again; but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him shall never thirst; but the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life”” (John 4:13–14). God wants to be our only source of …

Worship – We Drink from the Living Water

“Jesus answered and said to her, “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, ‘Give Me a drink,’ you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water”” (John 4:10). In this passage it is interesting that Jesus bypassed social and cultural barriers in talking to the Samaritan woman, he …

Our Response of Worship

““All things have been handed over to Me by My Father; and no one knows the Son except the Father; nor does anyone know the Father except the Son, and anyone to whom the Son wills to reveal Him. “Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. “Take My yoke upon you and …

He Is Our Worship

“For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus in the night in which He was betrayed took bread; and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, “This is My body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of Me.” In the same way He took the cup …

Worship Is A Relationship

““You worship what you do not know; we worship what we know, for salvation is from the Jews. “But an hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for such people the Father seeks to be His worshipers. “God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit …

Prayer is a Relationship

We all know that we are supposed to pray, but a lot of times we may get confused on how to think about prayers. Why do sometimes our prayer work and sometimes they don’t? I think that we must remember that prayer is an expression of our relationship with the Father and Jesus through the Holy Spirit. God already knows …

The Old Wine is Better! Luke 5:33-39

“And no one after drinking old wine wants the new, for he says, ‘The old is better” (Luke 5:39, NIV84).  A lot of times this passage is taught out of its context. Once you are able to read this passage in the context of what Jesus was saying it takes a new meaning. I have heard so many times that …

Love One Another

“For this reason I say to you, her sins, which are many, have been forgiven, for she loved much; but he who is forgiven little, loves little” (Luke 7:47). Our ability to love is related to our receiving forgiveness. In Luke 7:36-50 we find another very important account of Jesus interacting with religious people and sinners. Once again, we see …
