One of the most common challenges believers face is the feeling that they can't fully grasp the Bible's message. For many, this can lead to spending less time reading the Word, praying, and connecting with God. However, it's important to realize that understanding the Bible is essential to understanding God. Imagine having a key that unlocks the secrets of knowing and understanding God clearly—it could transform your entire spiritual journey. Join me this week in CyberChurch as we explore "Jesus: The Rosetta Stone" and discover the key that unlocks everything you’ll ever need to know about God and His goodness!

God passionately longs for us to tap into the boundless resources of heaven in this life. Through Jesus, we have been gifted profound teachings that outline the exact steps needed to make this divine experience a reality. However, these invaluable instructions are often neglected. I invite you to join me this week in CyberChurch as we delve into His wisdom, unlocking the path to Experience the Resources of Heaven. Let's embark on this transformative journey together!

Unlock the profound mysteries of the Last Days; secrets that remain shrouded in uncertainty. In our longing for safety during these challenging times, many grapple with the unsettling truths of Jesus' words. Some seek doctrines that promise peace, yet the Apostle Paul reminds us that true comfort and security extend beyond mere belief systems. They come from a deep, personal relationship with our Lord, delivered by the Holy Spirit. We won't find our peace, protection, and solace through superficial knowledge of Jesus; it lies in knowing Him intimately and personally! Join me this week as we embark on a transformative journey to explore what it truly means to Watch and Pray. Together, we will prepare our hearts for what lies ahead and ignite the strength we need to overcome the challenges to come. Don’t miss this opportunity to deepen your faith and embrace the profound comfort that comes from a genuine connection with our Savior!

In Matthew 7:9-11, Jesus posed a thought-provoking question to His followers; do they believe they are better fathers than God? A father's role is to protect, teach, and guide his children, ensuring their safety not through supernatural interventions but through the valuable lessons and guidance he imparts. God exemplifies the perfect parent, consistently striving to lead us toward the most fulfilling life possible. His boundless love compels Him to guide and nurture us, showing us the path to our best selves. Yet, just as children sometimes disregard their earthly parents’ wisdom, we, too, can overlook God's invaluable instruction and leadership. This week, I invite you to embark on a transformative journey with me as we delve into the profound power when we Hear The Voice of The Spirit. God is continually reaching out to lead us; all we need to do is listen and follow. Together, let’s open our hearts and minds to His guidance and discover the incredible life He has in store for us.

The Kingdom of Heaven can never be understood by amassing intellectual information about it. Jesus taught the mysteries of the Kingdom in parables because understanding and functioning in the Kingdom is a matter of the heart. As we “understand” from our heart the Kingdom of Heaven, we are empowered by the Holy Spirit to live in the resources of heaven here on Earth, regardless of what is happening around us. Join me this week in CyberChurch as we unfold the Mysteries of the Kingdom. I can promise you that making this journey will mean your life will never be the same!

In these troubled times, we need supernatural comfort, peace, and strength. But mere words of encouragement will not help a mother who cannot feed her children or a father who can’t find work. We need something supernatural! Join me this week in CyberChurch as we reveal God’s process for Comfort In Tribulation. By releasing the power of the Holy Spirit into our lives, we can experience peace and strength that passes all understanding!

Almost every miracle of the Bible that has the power to supercharge our faith has been relegated to a myth. The result is all the things we could have learned about God’s desires to lead and protect us mean nothing to us…after all, it’s just a myth. Join me this week in CyberChurch to supercharge your faith as we study one of the most preposterous promises in the Bible.

As the world grows darker and more dangerous, every believer seems to have a deep awareness that we need a Holy Spirit-inspired plan to face the challenges. People want to know, “What’s coming next? How do we prepare for the days ahead? How can I understand what’s happening in the world?” So much of the teaching about the last days is confusing, frightening, and overwhelming. The fear and confusion are based primarily on the fact that we overlook the clearest, simplest information on this subject: Jesus’ teaching! Join me this week in CyberChurch, and we will look at Jesus’ teachings about the last days in a new powerful series, The Mystery of the Ten Virgins. We will look at the last days through Jesus’ eyes and discover what we can do to face and overcome an angry, violent world!

More and more people find themselves struggling to get their lives under control. But the problem is that they don’t fully understand what drives their lives out of control. I'm not talking about evil people, but believers who desire to live for God. This problem can destroy every aspect of our lives, but it is not actually that difficult to resolve. Join me this week in CyberChurch and discover the simple secret to gaining control of your life as we answer the question, “What’s controlling my life?”

God has a winning strategy that keeps us from the continual struggles of temptation, emotional instability, and poor decisions. He actually tells us who the real enemy is and how we can fight that enemy and win. Join me this week in CyberChurch as we discuss Binding the Strong Man. When the strong man is defeated, the battle is over.

The world is on fire. This fire was set by those who seek to take control of our lives. They divide us by creating conflict among various economic, social, and ethnic groups. The world is becoming more dangerous and hostile by the minute. This divide-and-conquer strategy keeps people so focused on what offends them, that they are blind to what is really happening. In this powerful series, “Anchoring Your Soul,” you will learn how to anchor your soul, i.e., stay calm and peaceful no matter what is happening around you! Join me this week in CyberChurch as we explore how simple it is to overcome anger.

The only power the devil can use against us is deception, meaning that he cannot hurt us unless we believe his lies; then, we will hurt ourselves. When we entertain his lies, we become emotionally unstable; we begin to waver. But God has provided a way for us to have an anchor for our soul that keeps us from damaging ourselves and those around us. Join me this week in CyberChurch and learn the secrets to maintaining stability in this flood of daily propaganda we are experiencing as we create a strategy to overcome the Great Flood of Deception!

God is the God of Hope! Hope literally means a confident expectation of good things. He has made incredible promises through the Lord Jesus. In the history of the world, He has never broken His word on any promise. We have a reason to expect good things. Join me this week in CyberChurch as we explore the power of living in the Expectation of Good Things.

There is a battle going on that will determine the quality of your life. The Bible says it’s the battle for your soul. As you know, our soul is the seat of our emotions. The battle that destroys many godly people is the seemingly unending struggle with negative emotions. The Bible tells us how to win this battle, and it starts by identifying the source of the conflict. Join me this week in CyberChurch as we reveal the true source of the Battle for Your Soul. This will be the beginning of a victory that may be greater than anything you’ve experienced since coming to Jesus!

Our soul is neither good nor evil. It is simply that part of us where we emotionally experience whatever we’re focused on. Before man fell, his soul was under the direct influence of his spirit, which meant that his emotions were continually influenced by the life of God. When man became a sinner, his soul became influenced by his flesh, which meant that his emotions were driven by the lusts of the flesh. Join me this week in CyberChurch for “Our Living Soul,” where we will explore our ability to once again have our soul filled with the emotions that come from being intimately connected to God.

God always seeks to lead us on the path that more effectively and efficiently fulfills our destiny and keeps His promises. Many times we seek a particular solution to a problem, but it isn’t based on God’s wisdom. Paul did this, and sadly we interpret God’s response as a “No” to Paul’s request. However, God didn’t say no, He guided Paul to a more biblical pursuit. Join me this week in CyberChurch as we discover the secret of always following the Holy Spirit so we can discover The More Excellent Way.

God doesn’t change when we change. According to Scripture, when we are unfaithful, He remains faithful. But does He withhold His promises when we fall short? No! There are two key reasons He doesn’t. The Bible says it’s God's goodness that draws us to repentance, not the harshness or the wrath. If He withdraws His promises, we continue to run away in fear. When we encounter His goodness we feel safe turning our hearts back to Him. But the primary reason He doesn’t change when we change is that it would be a violation of His righteousness. If He withholds love, kindness, or forgiveness, He is no longer the Righteous One. Join me this week in CyberChurch as we explore The Righteousness of Yes! It will soothe your heart and give you peace with God, regardless of your past!

God made an eternal Covenant with Jesus, the New Covenant. Jesus fulfilled every requirement of that Covenant, thereby receiving an inheritance that is greater than anything we have ever imagined! When we are born again and baptized into the body of Christ, we get to share in His inheritance. The Bible calls us joint heirs! As joint heirs, we are qualified for every benefit given to Jesus. Join me this week and discover that which was freely given to Jesus, and is already yours, as we discuss the Covenant of Yes!

So many people are paralyzed. They are afraid they will miss God or experience disappointment. Religion has made knowing God's will complicated and beyond our grasp, but the truth is, God has gone to incredible lengths to make sure we understand Him and know what to expect. The God of “Yes” has made promises assuring us of what is ours in Christ. When an honest, faithful person makes a promise, it is a yes before we have even asked. Join me this week as we discuss the fact that Promises are “Prayers Answered” in advance. This will unravel the mystery where God says, “Before they ask, I will answer!”

Jesus is a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek. One of the things hidden in that name, in the Hebrew, is the priest who reveals the heart of “Yes!” Jesus’ answer for sharing His inheritance is always “yes.” He came to earth partially to reveal the true character and nature of God… the God of yes! Join me this week as we look at the Hebrew that presents Him as the priest that reveals the heart of “yes!” We will also discuss what this looks like in real-life applications.
