CHRISTMAS: It’s Still about the Savior

In spite of current criticisms that modern day celebrations of Christmas are pagan in origin, actually Christmas is and has always been about the birth of our Savior Jesus.  In this teaching we address some of the misunderstandings regarding the supposed ancient pagan connections to Christmas and shine the spotlight on how Christmas actually came to be.  In doing so we also address the ancient prophecies regarding the birth of the Messiah, and God's ingenious plan of salvation and the amazing parallels between that plan and a particularly amazing true survival story.  This is a Christmas teaching you don't want to miss.

THE PURPOSE OF PRAISE: The Power of Thanksgiving, pt. 3

Did you know there is a purpose in praise and worship other than just expressing our love to God?  Praise and worship is prophetic in nature, and it's also a spiritual weapon of warfare by which we silence the enemy and enforce the victory already purchased by Jesus on the cross.  Find out how this is so, and why your praise is more powerful than you ever imagined.  

DEEP CALLS UNTO DEEP: The Power of Thanksgiving, pt. 2

The first teaching in this series focused on the ATTITUDES of thanksgiving, while this second teaching in the series focuses on the ACTIONS of thanksgiving.  In doing so, we take a deep dive into the Hebrew to discover the many expressions of praise and worship that God has ordained for us to express our gratitude to Him.  This may challenge your modern day Americanized notion of what worship is, but if we can learn to worship in a Biblical way, it can help us to offload our burdens onto the Lord and allow Him to give us peace even in the midst of life's storms.

WHAT DO WE DO WITH ISRAEL? The Errors of Replacement Theology

Replacement Theology is a teaching in some circles of the Body of Christ suggesting that Christians have replaced the Jews, and that Christians are the real Jews now, and there is no longer any relevance to Israel.  There are several problems with this idea, and some potential consequences to those who hold this view, notably that they miss out on the benefits of blessing Israel according to Genesis 12:1-3.  You will learn in this teaching how God's hand is still on the nation of Israel, what the Bible has to say about God's attitude toward the Jews, and why we as Christians are wise to align our hearts on this subject to God's heart.
