God revealed Himself in Jesus 2,000 years ago, but is there a way in which the invisible God makes Himself visible today?
Jesus was the physical representation of God. He was the fullness of God in the body of man (God with skin on). But also in the New Testament the apostle Paul tells us that “we,” the Church are the Body of Christ. How can this be?...

This passage is referred to as “The Great Commission.” These were the last words of Jesus before His ascension to heaven, which makes them crucial for that reason alone. But these are also very important words because they contain Christ’s final instructions to His Church, which is to “go and make disciples of all nations” (verse 19). Jesus says in Matthew 5:13-16...

Romans 12:4-5“For just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others.” The Body of Christ needs all its parts, we can’t function properly if we’re deformed, we can’t function if we’re missing body parts… “hey, look at that body, it’s got no head”… that’s scar...

Read Romans 12:3-8, Ephesians 4:1-13 and 1 Corinthians 12:1-11
Inseparable to the paradigm of the “Body of Christ” comes the idea in Scripture of “specialization”… arms, fingers, eyes, nose, ears, etc. To carry the analogy forward, specialization in the Body of Christ = Spiritual Gifts. What is a spiritual gift? It is a divine endowment, or a divinely bestowed ability that God gives to each of Hi...

Read Colossians 3:5-17 Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry. Because of these, the wrath of God is coming. You used to walk in these ways, in the life you once lived. But now you must also rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your l...

During Jesus’ temptation in the wilderness, the last offer Satan made to Christ unveils an interesting truth regarding worship… Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor. “All this I will give you,” he said, “if you will bow down and worship me.”Jesus said to him, “Away from me, Satan! For it is written: ‘Worship the Lord your...

The longer I walk with Christ the more fully I realize that I don’t have my act together! Truth is, we’ve all got issues… big issues (I’m saying this as a “Preacher” at Pinedale!) The depth of my sinful nature and the work God must do to fix it on an ongoing basis is immense. I can’t deny that Christ has worked in my life and I know I’m better off. Jesus has bettered my marriage, my children, my c...
