BREAKING THE CYCLE OF OFFENSE

Jesus said that offenses are bound to come, and the Bible also provides copious amounts of instruction with how to handle them.  This teaching enlarges upon the destructive nature of nursing the offense, how to prevent always being easily offended in the first place, and biblical guidance on handling interpersonal conflicts with people.  It's a must-hear if you are believing God for answers to prayer, because ongoing strife undermines our faith, hinders our prayers, and opens the door to the demonic.  Prepare to be set free from the trap of offense!

LEARNING TO ABIDE: Abounding Fruitfulness, pt. 13

This teaching has something for everyone.  While targeted primarily to those who are already bearing much fruit in their Christian lives, there are principles of abiding with Christ in this teaching that apply to all God's children and can not only prevent people from making critical miscalculations and mistakes in their walks of faith, but also richly deepen the walk of faith you already have.  

MATURE PRUNING, pt 2: Abounding Fruitfulness, pt. 12

In continuing with our segment on pruning under the umbrella topic of abounding fruitfulness, we arrive in this teaching at another way the Vinedresser prunes His vines to bring about even greater fruitfulness.  This may be one of the most difficult tests ever, but it is one that has the potential to radically transform the lives of those who submit themselves to this more advanced level of pruning.  

NEXT-LEVEL MATURITY: Abounding Fruitfulness, pt. 11

GOOD FRUIT, AND MORE GOOD FRUIT: Abounding Fruitfulness, pt. 10

Last week we discussed what God does when a child of His is bearing no fruit.  But what does He do when His children are bearing SOME fruit but could be bearing a lot more?  Well, it's probably not the method that most of us would prefer, but it's very effective, and ultimately results in significant growth and a life of fruitfulness for those who recognize what's happening and submit to the process.  This teaching might just radically change your life, so buckle up.  

THE VINE AND THE BRANCHES: Abounding Fruitfulness, part 9

John chapter 15 has some of the most memorable words from Jesus' Last Supper sermon.  Here we arrive at Jesus' instructions about the importance of bearing much fruit, and how that is accomplished.  Yet many people settle for lives of much less than abounding fruitfulness because they misunderstand and thus reject God's ways of bringing it about.  Prepare to be equipped for increase!  

"PEACE I LEAVE WITH YOU", pt. 2

Continuing with Jesus' last teaching to His disciples, we now grapple with the warning that in this life we will have tribulation, but to take heart.  This teaching addresses five more ways we can more readily experience the peace that only God gives.
