alive in christ

The epistle to the Ephesian church is filled with deep and wonderful truths that will enable and empower the believer who comprehends them and is able to apply them to everyday life.One of the greatest and most revolutionary of these teachings has to do with the life, death, burial and resurrection of Jesus and how that applies to believers now. Through Paul, the Holy Spirit is saying that as a believer, you have been quickened,...read more

seated with christ

This verse is one of the most powerful and meaningful verses in all the Bible for you and me. The word here rendered "power" is more literally translated "authority." Therefore, it would read, "All authority is given to me in Heaven and in earth." Jesus has all authority and all power, there is none higher than Him nor is there any mightier than Him.When Christ ascended, He transferred His authority to the Church. He is...read more

sit, walk, stand

There is a natural progression in the Christian life that is described by these three commands. These words, in this order are the basics of the growth and development of a Christian. If we will learn these basic essentials, we can understand the process of going from an infant to a mature adult in the walk of faith.The first thing that we must learn to do is to sit. The Bible says that we are...read more

about victory over death

Written By: Mechele McMichael

I have wanted to write a devotion about this topic for awhile. I know God has been preparing my heart to have the words to say. It is my desire that this devotion will bring much peace and comfort to those of you who can't quite seem to get the victory that belongs to you. The sadness of losing someone to death may keep you from seeing the realities in Christ. We too have had...read more

from the cross to the throne

What I am going to share with you today will fly in the face of most of the religious community. The reason it will is that it will seem to go against one of the most sacred doctrines of the Church.The problem is that we've preached a "cross" religion, and we need to preach a "throne" religion. By that, I mean that people have thought they were supposed to remain at the Cross. Some have...read more

no condemnation

For many Christians, this verse has no real meaning, yet it should be like a lifeline that is thrown out to them in a sea of guilt. Are you one of the ones who always feels that God is not going to answer your prayers or will not bless you or will pass you over for healing because you are not worthy?This is the case with so many people. The devil knows that he can’t...read more

they called them christians

Names are something that we are all familiar with. I guess it is because we all have at least one. New parents to be, often spend hours looking through books of names to try to find that perfect one for the soon to arrive. Is it really important and does it really matter about a persons name, does a name mean anything? Well if you read the Bible you will see that what a person...read more

what must we do?

I suppose that this question in one form or another is the question that has been asked, over the span of time, more than any other. People are really and truly interested in how to do the things of God, how to work the works of God, how to know God in a personal way and to know that He is pleased with them. Even the heathen have a built in desire to know God...read more

be yourself

One of the problems that I see with many Christians is the lack of liberty to just be themselves. This is especially true when groups of Christians get together. It seems that there is this pressure to “act” a certain way, a way that is perceived as being spiritual.I have had the privilege of meeting many wonderful men and women of God, those called to full time vocational ministry. In my times with these people,...read more

pressing on together

Written By: Mechele McMichael

Life is a mixture of excitement and disappointment, successes and failures, joys and sorrows. This is true even of the Christian's life. What do Christians do when they experience pain, when dreams are shattered, when relationships go sour? They "press on," with confidence of God's love and ability to sustain. They know that He is present with them and will never leave nor forsake them. If they have messed things up, they depend on His...read more
