It came from within - #3 - Anger - takin' out the trash

A lot of us are mad today about something, but too often we really don't know why. The reality is that the anger we carry today is from something that happened in the past, that was undealt with. We are angry - face it. What to do about it is the issue. The Apostle Paul gives some clear instructions on how we are to get rid of anger...

It came from within - #2 - Kill all the Monsters - Guilt

It Came from Within! #1 - The Hidden Chamber

It came from within - sounds like a sound bite from the movie "Alien', but in reality it is the words of Jesus. We are all taught to behave, but no one taught us to guard our hearts.

Identity Theft - 2 - Flee, don't Flex!

Identity Theft - 1 - I am Rescued and Redeemed by Love

We all grew up in our home neighborhood, but we also grew up in a spiritual neighborhood. And that neighborhood defined us for who were were before we came to Jesus.

It's time to rediscover our spirtual identity because of the cross of Jesus Christ. Listen in ...

Will the Real Father please stand up?

We all have images, perceptions and pictures of what we think God the Father is like. But they may not be accurate pictures of God the Father. The reality is that we too often have a distorted reality of who God is, because the Father will be framed by our image of our earthly father. Jesus paints for us a picture of a father and a son, a shameful problem between them and then a true picture of who the Father really is toward us. Listen in . . .

Living the Life - Leaving A Legacy #5 - Against all odds, Finding God in the Impossible

Have you ever been "in the corner", faced things when it didn't seem that there was any way out or even around?
I'm talking about the "impossibles" of life. I think we all have at one time or another. It's in those times that we have to keep our eyes on what can't be seen, rather than focus on what can be seen. It's in the Impossibles of Life that God fights for us.

Living the Life - Leaving a Legacy - #2 - The Impact of Integrity
