Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth.

PHILISTINE...
Godless Disdain and Rebellious Defiance
PHILISTINE
Godless Disdain and Rebellious Defiance
Philistine is the godless disdain and rebellious defiance of the God of heaven and earth. As such, any person, place, or thing that openly defies and denies the living God of the Bible, and arrogantly defies and denies the authority of God as Creator of life and all living things is Philistine.

Advent
How Far Would You Travel?
Historical facts around the birth of Jesus, the Messiah, include Matthew’s recounting of the wise men from the East who followed the Star of Bethlehem to worship the new King of the Jews. Would you travel almost 1,000 miles on a camel with no other directions? How far would you go to worship the Messiah?

our god of peace
Our God of Peace
In John 16:33, Jesus tells His disciples that in this world, we will have tribulations. These tribulations come to us in many forms. Some of these forms are war, racism, fear, hate, division, tenseness, hurt, pain, sickness, danger, deceitfulness, maliciousness, and poverty. There is a God of Peace. And if we have a relationship with Jesus, He is our God of Peace.

A RIGHTEOUS REVOLUTION
AMOS FIVE | JOEL 2
Amos and Joel are ancient prophets whose voice and message is for our times. Their writing is relative and should resonate within the lives of followers of Christ, and believers everywhere. Nothing in the past 2,500 years has made their messages obsolete. Amos and Joel represent a movement, a righteous revolution
Introduction
Not even the present-day practice of re-defining and re-writing Biblical context and Scriptural narrative can change the eternal truth of these two ancient voices. Both can be interpreted into present-day reality seamlessly, without ignoring original context or disrupting the intended meaning. Yes, Amos and Joel can and must still be heard and their un-compromised message of right and righteous covenant relationship with God, the urgent call of fidelity to the order and authority of His eternal and sovereign Word, and the intense appeal to establish and maintain a genuine habitation for the presence of Holy Spirit in us.

Easter 2023
Living to Die - Dying to Live
Resurrection Sunday
Living to Die - Dying to Live. On Resurrection or Easter Sunday the talk of death or dying is not considered good form - I get that! Interestingly enough, Jesus, in whom this whole Resurrection celebration consists and has meaning, rarely talked about the possibilities of life, without including the realities of death - and He rarely talked about the realities of dying without talking about the hope and possibilities of life. But let’s not just take my word for it - listen to the words of Jesus.

HE GOES BEFORE US
The Who as – God our Provider and Protector, Christ our Savior and Good Shepherd, Holy Spirit our Comfort and Courage The What as – The Faith to Follow and Go Forward The Where as – The Place of Promise and Purpose The When as – Always Before Us He Goes Before Us
Introduction
He Goes Before Us is the phrase we can embrace and use as we rise and respond to God’s call to widen our nets, expand our tents, and multiply the gifts and graces we have been given. In the next couple of weeks, we will unpack and seek wisdom from two Old Testament passages, rich with New Testament fulfillment and present-day relevance and implications to help us find our connection and context with He Goes Before Us.

2023 for the Reunion Church
There is a Global Move of God That the Reunion Church is called to rise and respond to
Introduction
There is a global movement towards Biblical teaching, apostolic traditions, discipleship training; and the call of God to Christian leaders from nation to nation to rise and respond to the Holy Spirit’s pull and engagement of people everywhere. This Spirit-led movement is gaining momentum day by day, and does not need the devices and strategies of men to reach it’s purposed outcome. This movement is not detoured or diminished by cultural, governmental, or systemic opposition. God is at work - the visible signs are everywhere.

Hey Jude
Warnings, Deceptions, and the End Times Certainties from the Book of Jude
Introduction
The series Hey Jude might well be a defining work and word for this humbled, seasoned, and watchful caretaker of human souls. Certainly, more than I imagined, and far more than I could have ever hoped for, this teaching from the tiny Book of Jude is as spiritually rich and relevant today as any text we have in the Bible...

Biblical Remedy for Mankind's Malady
Introduction
As we wake up today we bemoan the fact that in many ways we are living in a collapsing world (context please). Many believe, but will not say out loud we are headed for an unprecedented global apocalyptic event or events. Ironically, Isaiah, Ezekiel, and Joel the great ancient Hebrew prophets received Messianic and end-times revelations and warnings 2,500 to 3,000 years ago. These words and commands are not obsolete. Certainly their context and conditions have changed - but not their foundational content. It is now and forever unchangeable. In fact, we will see that it is God's remedy for man's malady.

It's Just Time
It's Just Time
Urgency is not the same as panic. We know what panic is - we have all witnessed it first-hand on the world stage these past two months. urgency is something different. The words we have just read from Jesus were urgent. In those words, to Herod and the Pharisees, He remind us that he is the Master of Time - not just our earthly time, but all of time and timelessness. Jesus came into time from timelessness to give us the hope of what is timeless - eternity. Download the sermon series notes.

Ok, how does this connect with the essential themes for Lent? Reflection, repentance, preparation and don’t forget some form of fasting or abstaining from stuff you like – right? As I prayed through the words “woke, yoked and broke” the Holy Spirit revealed the connections that I kind of suspected were there all along. Here is the “reveal” that turned on the lights for me with this whole thing...

God of the Paradox
If God is transcendent how is He also immanent?
God of the Paradox
If God is transcendent how is He also immanent? If His love is unconditional how can it have conditions? Jesus said He is the Way. How is the Way into His Kingdom also the Way out of this world? Can one be in the world at the same time not of the world? If Christ is the beginning, how is it possible for Him to be the ending, or to be the first and also the last? Download the sermon notes.

Sanctified
Set Apart for No One But Him
Sanctified
The generic meaning of sanctification or to be sanctified is “the state of proper functioning.” I like that definition - it is a personal aspiration. But then I thought if I use that one, I might not ever be considered as sanctified. So, I decided to dig deeper - thank God. Download the sermon notes.

There is redemption - we are living it. In fact, you and I were made for this. As God’s word says, we are truly His masterpiece and His priority. His love for us goes beyond reason and human understanding and yet He has revealed His deepest secrets and desires for us through our relationship with Jesus Christ. His love surely came and found us and we are never going to be the same.

Karat
A cut covenant with God
Karat
As a general definition, covenant is a written agreement or promise usually under seal between two or more parties especially for the performance of some action or exchange of shared expectations.
A world without covenants would be anarchy. A world with covenants constantly broken and violated is as we have discovered just as bad if not worse.

Isaiah
Isaiah
We live in an age that, because of the general abandonment of the biblical worldview, has made status, position, power and identity politics the absolute good. A major function of education has become not the acquisition of knowledge but the enhancement and influence of unrealistic self-centric thinking. I call it passive-aggressive narcissism. The irony in all of this, as we processed earlier, is that in the non-biblical worldview, humanity has no significance whatsoever.
