Messages from the
Word of God.

This message argues every believer has exactly one spiritual gift. These are supernatural enablings, not natural talents. Believers act as stewards, dispensing God’s grace through their specific function. Using the body metaphor, the speaker explains that while functions are singular, ministries vary as Christ, the Head, directs service within the local church.

True victory over spiritual attack requires abandoning self-reliance and embracing Christ’s inner enabling. The sermon explains that human weakness allows God’s grace to be perfected, as seen in Paul’s thorn. Believers must trust God’s overwhelming power, utilizing His provided armor to stand firm. Through humble submission, Christians become co-workers with God, finding strength and contentment in every life circumstance.

Present-tense salvation is defined as an obedience of faith, where believers listen and respond to God's promises instead of living by the Law. Christ, the sinless High Priest, learned obedience through suffering to become our source of eternal salvation. By setting minds on heavenly realities, believers allow God to supernaturally energize, empower, and produce their daily faithful Christian walk today.

This message explores the transition from legalistic Law to a New Covenant of Grace. Believers receive divine enablement, where God energizes new desires and holy actions within their spiritual nature. Despite persistent internal conflict with the sin nature, Christians possess eternal life as a present, certain reality. Believers manifest Christlikeness by seeking heavenly things instead of following negative, elementary decrees.

Christ, as the Great High Priest, provides the Church a heavenly spiritual rest distinct from Israel’s physical rest. This rest is entered by trusting His completed work. Because Christ suffered and was tempted, He is sympathetic, allowing believers to boldly approach God’s throne for mercy and grace.

Jesus’s earthly suffering and temptations were essential to qualify Him as a sufficient High Priest. This "great salvation" fulfills God's eternal decree, exalting a Man over all spiritual "Elohim," including fallen ranks. Believers are exhorted to enter "faith-rest" by ceasing from self-effort to join God’s divine work.

This sermon examines Jesus’ direct temptations in the wilderness and Gethsemane. It emphasizes Christ's submission to the Father’s will despite intense physical and emotional agony. Jesus serves as a sufficient high priest who understands human weakness, empowering believers to choose God's desires during trials.

This sermon examines Satan’s tactical shift from physical destruction to disqualifying Jesus through three specific wilderness temptations. Jesus, acting as a man under Mosaic Law, defeated Satan by quoting Deuteronomy, demonstrating His absolute righteousness and sufficiency as our High Priest.

Guest Speaker, Kevin Jeffrey, speaks on future things.

God’s sovereignty preserved Jesus’s humanity through a tactical spiritual battle and precise prophetic timeline, culminating in a voluntary sacrifice for human redemption. This mission now grants believers spiritual victory through the indwelling power of Christ rather than angelic intervention.
