Jerry Grieser - The final step in getting our mind to agree with our spirit is "Begin to Speak and Act Accordingly," or as Paul stated in Ephesians 4:24, "Put on the new self." If we are to put on this new self we must discover who this new self is and what he/she looks like. The only way we can see an image of this new self is through the mirror of God's Word.

Louie Weber - John 10:4-5, Hebrews 5:11-14, 2 Cor 2:6-14 - Knowledge does not determine maturity. Some of the smartest people on earth are very immature. The same is true in Christ. In this teaching, Louie directs us toward Scripture?s definition of maturity: How much we walk in the Spirit. If the spiritual realm is our ultimate reality, then how much we live there determines our ultimate maturity.

Jerry Grieser - Jesus told Thomas in John 20:29 that we are blessed when we believe before we see any proof or evidence in the physical. Thomas chose to not believe. Jesus indicated that is is just as easy to choose to believe as it is to choose to not believe. If we are to believe God and walk in the resulting blessing we must have a heart to listen. Thomas missed the revelation of the risen Christ. He did not believe the word of Jesus; that He would die and rise again. In this teaching we discover what it means to have a listening heart and how to put ourselves in a position where revelation knowledge flows.

Louie Weber - John 4 - Perhaps one thing that inhibits our intimacy with God is what we mean by intimacy. So many people have been burned by others that intimacy is not worth the effort. In this teaching, Louie describes and defines the difference between a human?s idea of intimacy versus God?s kind of intimacy in the example of the Woman at the Well.

Jerry Grieser - When God re-created us through the atoning work of Jesus He deposited the forces of life into our spirits - (Gal. 5:22). The life forces of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self control now reside within us, in our spirit, which is joined and now one with the Spirit of God. Yet all these life forces will remain locked up until we get our minds to agree with our spirit and "act accordingly". This teaching begins to develop four steps we must take to begin to transfer these life forces from the spiritual dimension into the physical where we might have an experiential encounter with them.

Louie Weber - 1 John 5 - Because our soul consists of 3 areas (mind, will & emotions) God?s Word teaches us how to break through fear in all 3 of those areas of our soul. In the mind, we need knowledge. In our will, we need to harmonize our desire with His. And the safety and security of knowing and aligning ourselves with Him will produce the feeling (emotion) of safety and security.

Jerry Grieser - The Bible teaches that our present avenue of training, Spirit knowledge, is in opposition to our past avenue of training, sense knowledge (Gal. 5:17). Paul stated that using only sense knowledge we would "forever learn but never come to a knowledge of the truth" (2Tim. 3:7). Truth only comes through revelation or Spirit knowledge. Since both of these opposing avenues of training are vying for out attention, we must have some way of bridging the gulf of opposition. Romans 8:5-6 tells us it is our mind that is the bridge between the flesh (old avenue) and the Spirit (new avenue). The key, God tells us, to experiencing the benefits of the resources He has placed in our spirit is to set our minds on the Spirit. Our mind must agree with our spirit before the faith of God that is in our spirit can flow into the dimension of our soul, affecting our will and emotions. In this teaching the foundation is established

Louie Weber - 1John 4:16-18; Rom 5:6-9; Titus 2:11-12 & Heb 4:14-16 - Though there may be many reasons for avoiding intimacy with God, the most common is fear. Fear of rejection. Fear of punishment. Fear that we don?t measure up, etc. In this teaching, the Word of God clearly teaches us why we don?t have to be afraid of God and how we can enter His presence with confidence not fear. Grace has this motive as its priority and it is the reason Paul spent so much of his time teaching about it.

Listen Now:

Jerry Grieser - In Matthew 7:24-27 Jesus gives us a pivotal key to endurance. In this parable He indicates the storms of life will come against us, but that we will stand if our hearts are established in His Word. Acting according to what we hear from God's Word is likened to "digging deep" and establishing ourselves on a firm foundation. Hearing is not the issue! Both men heard. Acting accordingly is what likens us to the wise man. James tell us that living faith always has corresponding action (2:14-26). We lay a firm foundation by digging deep into God's Word to find out His view of things and who we really are and then by acting accordingly.

Jerry Grieser - As New Creation men and women God expects us to utilize our new avenue of training- the Holy Spirit within us. Only by using our re-created spirit, where the anointing of God resides, are we able to see and understand the new creation work of God and what was accomplished in the finished work of His redemptive plan. Our old avenue of training, sense knowledge, has no comprehension of the spirit realm (1Cor. 2:9-12). As a Christian, to continue to use sense knowledge to guide us in our journey of faith, or to evaluate our relationship with God, will leave us in a major deficit in experiencing that abundant life Jesus promised was ours. In this teaching we explore the pitfalls of using the natural realm to reflect to us the validity of our spiritual reality.

Louie Weber - James 1:5;13, Eph 1:3-4, Col 1:21, 1 Thess 5:9 - The only thing that empowers disciples in this world is the Word of God. It eliminates the fear surrounding the rapture and teaches the believer what to expect in the Last Days. Louie encourages believers to take the Word in seed form; little by little and not be debilitated by thinking you have to know everything in the Bible overnight.

Jerry Grieser - In the great exchange Jesus became our substitutionary sacrifice, receiving upon Himself the judgment for our sin. In this exchange we received from Him God's righteousness, holiness, and perfection, causing John to tell us that, "as He is, so also are we in this world" (1Jn. 4:17). This, he says, gives us confidence in the day of judgment, for if we were to be judged, we would be judged holy (Heb. 10:10) and perfect (Heb. 10:14). In this teaching we discover where to look for confirmation of this great exchange and why we can be confident that having passed from death to life keeps us from coming into judgment (Jn. 5:24).

Louie Weber - Judges Chapters 6 & 7 - The church usually responds harshly to a lack of faith. We tend to be critical of people struggling with fear and doubt. However, in this great story of faith, Gideon demonstrates how the Lord dealt with his fear and doubt. Yes, Gideon is remembered as a mighty warrior, filled with faith, but that is the end of the story. This teaching shows God?s process of bringing Gideon to the place of being heralded as a valiant warrior.

Jerry Grieser - Because of the finished work of Christ, our job as Christians is to now recognize what we have. For a Christian, it is an issue of seeing, not getting. In 2 Peter 1:3 (NASB) Peter said "seeing that His divine power has granted to us everything..." Paul, in Ephesians 1:18, prays that the "eyes of our heart may be enlightened..." to see that God has already blessed us with every spiritual blessing (vs. 3) and has already given us an inheritance (vs. 11) that resides within us (vs. 18). In this teaching we continue to explore the riches of the glory of this inheritance and discover that as Jesus is, so are we right now in this world. Incredible!

Louie Weber - Mt 16:16-18; John 1:32-34 Romans 1:18-21 - God?s ability to communicate with us is vital to His ability to drive out doubt and fear. The Bible clearly teaches us that we can hear His voice. This teaching introduces this concept in preparation to read the story of Gideon in Judges chapters 6 & 7 which will be taught in full next Sunday.

Jerry Grieser - In 2 Peter 1:1-4 God reveals how we may partake of His nature and the ensuing results; escaping the corruption of the world. This teaching explores the things God has already done and our responsibility in recognizing those things in order to experience them in the realm of our mind, will, emotions, and conscience. God is faithful! 2 Corinthians 1:17-20 declares that God is not "yes,yes and no, no at the same time," but that Jesus Christ is yes, and all the promises of God to be yes in Him. Peter reveals that everything pertaining to life and godliness has already been given to us in order to make these promises fulfilled in our life. We need only to recognize and acknowledge this reality to become partakers of the divine nature and experience the results of doing so.

Vic Cales - 2 Samuel, Chapters 13-18 - This message is a Gospel picture from the Old Testament. The story reveals how King David?s kids sin against him. Prince Amnon rapes his half sister, Princess Tamar. Prince Absalom then kills Prince Amnon. Then Prince Absalom tries to become King of Israel by killing his father, David. However, Absalom is killed in the war by Joab, the commander of King David?s army. When David hears the news that his son who was so rebellious was killed he weeps and cries out, O Absalom if only I could have died in your place. That is the picture of the good news of Jesus. God would rather die than lose us, so he died in our place on the cross.

Jerry Grieser - In this teaching, God ?interrupts the script? of Revelation Knowledge to remind us of a profound truth. The priest never examined the man or woman bringing the sacrifice under the old covenant; but rather only examined the sacrifice. How much more so under the new covenant does God only examine the Perfect Lamb and not the one coming to him on the basis of this final, once and for all time, sacrifice of God Himself.

Jerry Grieser - Is. 12:2-3 - Revelation Knowledge is activated when we realize that God has become our salvation and we begin to make withdrawals from the "springs of salvation." The location of the 'springs' is not "out there" but rather "within" us. Revelation Knowledge convinces us that our born again spirit is the Spirit of Christ. In this teaching the significance of our bodies now housing the Holy of Holies here on earth is addressed, as well as how we can 'see' what our new spirit looks like and how we might begin to "live from the inside out."

Louie Weber - James 1:5; I Cor 2:5-10 & Rom 12:1-2 - The word ?mystery? is used to describe God so often that we develop a belief that we can?t really know anything about Him. These 3 passages lead us to conclude the exact opposite: God is a Revealer. He not only wants us to know Him but He wants us to have full access to what He knows. Can we really know God?s will? Can we really know what He thinks about something? Absolutely.

Jerry Grieser - Matthew 16:15-19 ? Revelation knowledge convinces us that the keys of the kingdom are in our hands. It reveals to us that we are not in a defensive mode, but instead ignites a picture of the Church, the Body of Christ, banging on the gates of hell until they break open. Instead of isolating the power of God behind fortresses, cathedrals, and monasteries, Jesus shows us that the keys of the kingdom of heaven, revelation knowledge, will place us in the offensive position of breaking down the gates of hell to destroy Satan's fortresses and the lofty edifices he has raised up against the knowledge of God. Revelation knowledge will motivate us, the Church, to renovate Satan?s kingdom with the materials and furnishings of God.

Jesus taught us about authority inside of His Great Commission because He knew we would need it.

Listen Now:

Louie Weber - Mt 5:14-16 - Jesus identified Himself as the Light of the World but many of us don?t realize He called us by the same name and function. With Him living in us as believers, we carry the glory (light) of God wherever we go. His intent in so doing was to be present wherever we are present: first in us, then our family, then our town, then the uttermost parts of the world. When the world sees the goodness of God?s glory in us, they turn to Him (5:16).

Vic Cales - The teaching is about the rapture. What makes it happen and why it matters for Christians. The teaching reveals why it makes us live ready, and where to watch for signs. It also includes questions and answers from the audience. The teaching also shows how after the bride is taken off the earth it releases the man of lawlessness (the anti-Christ) to take power and then be conquered by the return of Jesus.

Louie Weber - Mt 18:1-4 - This passage has been referred to many times over with a lot of different applications. Why, on this occasion with this group of people, did Jesus make such a defining statement about little kids? He obviously saw something in a child?s heart that we, as adults, learn to ignore. This brief teaching seeks to uncover what Jesus saw in the heart of a child that uniquely defines the essence of His Kingdom.

Vic Cales - 27 Bible Prophecies - This sermon lists 27 amazing Bible prophecies that prove beyond our doubts that the Bible is no ordinary book. The prophecies include: specific names of people predicted to conquer kingdoms, the birth, betrayal, crucifixion, and resurrection of Jesus, the destruction of the temple and Israel, the rebirth of Israel after 1800 years, the Rapture, the 7 year tribulation, the 1000 year reign, the new heaven and the new earth. This is a teaching with a lot to chew on that will strengthen your faith that what the Bible says is true.

Listen Now:

Jerry Grieser - Revelation knowledge needs to be protected. Like a house without a roof will soon decay, so revelation knowledge left unprotected from the elements of unbelief will soon unravel. 1 John 2:20-21, 27 provides the 'shingles' we need to protect revelation knowledge. This passage shows that all of us have an anointing that is always with us revealing to us the truth. The emphasis is on the fact that we do know the truth! Our problem is that we look for it in the natural, in our intellect. The 'knowing' is actually in the mind of the recreated spirit, and the first step in protecting revelation knowledge is to acknowledge this truth even though we cannot 'see' it - 1 Peter 1:8. In this teaching we consider how to nail down these truth shingles in such a way that we keep thoughts contrary to this knowledge from entering the operation center and compromising the flow of revelation knowledge.

Listen Now:

Jill Grieser - Words hold great power. Words can be destructive or creative. This message highlights how God uses words and encourages us to imitate Him by choosing to speak faith filled words and words of blessing over our children or those around us: words that can help create a vision of what God wants that child or individual to become.

Listen Now:

Jerry Grieser - 1 Corinthians 2:6-16 contrasts the use of human wisdom and its results with the use of revealed "hidden" wisdom (God's) and its results. It is clear that if we are to understand the things of the Spirit of God, they must be spiritually appraised (discerned) using God's wisdom rather than natural or human wisdom. Paul sets the stage for tapping into this wisdom by revealing (in chapter 1) that God chooses the foolish, weak, ignoble, and despised (those who put no confidence in the flesh) so that no man should boast before God. To tap into God's hidden wisdom we must, like Paul, determine to "know nothing except Jesus Christ, and Him crucified." In this teaching we come to recognize that God can accomplish more through people who know the cross than those who simply preach the cross.

Jerry Grieser - John 1:1, 14 - The Good Pastor, Who laid down his life for the sheep, took off His shoes, became flesh, and walked among us barefoot. Christ, seeing the glory of God in His bride and anticipating holy union with her, threw off His shoes and took a stance of awe! God's desire is for us to see what He saw. In this teaching, the mirror of God's Word is used to cast a reflection of the image Christ saw that compelled Him to take off His shoes before the shekinah of His bride!

Listen Now:

Jerry Grieser - Proverbs 7:4 instructs us to say to wisdom, "You are my sister" and to call understanding our intimate friend. We must recognize that God has already given us wisdom and understanding and that the resource of revelation knowledge resides within us. In this teaching passages from Colossians 1 & 2 reveal the results that come from the "full assurance of understanding" (experiential revelation knowledge), how to maintain the flow of revelation knowledge, and the fact that God desires each of us to know the mystery that was hidden "from past ages and generations." Laying the "I Already Have It" rocks of revelation knowledge is knowing and acknowledging that all of heaven's resources, God's nature, and His very glory resides on the inside of us and refusing to allow philosophy, religious tradition, or worldly thinking to hinder the flow of this reality on our lives.

Listen Now:

Vic Cales - Luke Chapters 4-5 - This message addresses the painful struggle of why we sometimes don?t see miracles and healing on earth. Is God refusing to heal us for some higher mysterious purpose, or is man?s disbelief stopping the ministry of the Holy Spirit? This message is a pastor?s honest confession of his struggle with why healing does not take place. The stories include the healing of Peter?s mother-in-law, the leper who wanted to know if God was willing to heal him, and a few sick people in the hometown of Jesus.

Listen Now:

Jerry Grieser - Although the "I Already Have It" course in the foundation of revelation knowledge could be summed up in vs. 3, God "....has blessed us with every spiritual blessing," God goes on to detail and diagram for us how this "delivery" took place. He does this in order to convince us there is nothing we can do to obtain the blessings since they are already ours and were given to us freely in Christ. This passage reveals they came with the package, not reluctantly, but lavishly. Then, as if this were not enough, God throws in the complete "understanding" of His whole deal. In this teaching we are encouraged use the mind of our recreated human spirit and cease making statements such as "I don't understand the Bible," and begin saying "God has made known to me the mystery of His will, His word."

Louie Weber - Mark 16:15-20 - In many areas, most often medical, we view a professional?s report as the last word. However, in the Kingdom, God?s Word is the last word. In the concluding verses in Mark, Jesus defines for us the work that every believer is empowered to do. It is so powerful when our understanding has come to an end yet God?s understanding, His power and wisdom, are just beginning. What a powerful demonstration of His love for us.

Listen Now:

Jerry Grieser - On the east side of the Jordon the Israelites listened to the ten spies' "bad report" derived from sense realm information. From this report they concluded they were better off to die in the wilderness and told God the same. He complied with their wishes and their bodies fell in the wilderness. Joshua and Caleb derived their report from revelation knowledge of God's Word. They saw exactly the same things the ten spies saw but overlaid their report with what God said and became the only two from that generation to enter the Promised Land. But they had to stand believing in that report for forty years before they saw the manifestation of the promise. There is always some degree of the element of time involved in the physical manifestation of what God says is already so. In this teaching we find that regardless of the time element involved, our responsibility is to take God at His Word and prepare our "good report" from what He says and not what we see.

Listen Now:

Louie Weber - Rom 10:17 - In my last teaching from this scripture, I pointed out the Bible?s clear and singular method for increasing our faith ? hearing the Word of God. This teaching highlights the practical understanding of why that works. When filling ourselves with God?s Word, we increase our belief system, the very portal from which we make all decisions. If our belief system is void of the Word, we simply continue to make poor, even destructive decisions. Our will, when directed to gain wisdom, will lead us to the Word as our standard for living; thus, increasing our faith.

Listen Now:

Jerry Grieser - 2 Corinthians 3:4-18 supplies us with an excellent synopsis on revelation knowledge. Verses 4-5 reveal that our adequacy is only from God. Verses 6-15 contrast for us the radical difference between relating to God through physical or intellectual means versus through the revelation knowledge from the Spirit. From this passage it is clear that anyone who attempts to relate to God based on the means of the Old Covenant, from the outside in, will not comprehend the mystery of God. Verses 17-18 reveal that true transformation in the physical realm takes place by relating to God by means of the New Covenant, from the inside out. For revelation knowledge to flow and alter things in the physical realm we must lay in its foundation the "reflection course" and understand that seeing the reflection of God's glory in us is what gives us life - John 6:63. This teaching reveals that whenever we use the law (our behavior) as the basis for our covenant with God, whenever we relate to Him based on our performance, we will always experience the condemnation of falling short and the death of the manifestation of every good thing Jesus gave us!

Listen Now:

Jerry Grieser - Hebrews 4:1-2 informs us that God's Word must be mixed with faith in order for the Word to benefit us. The Word also tells us we have God's faith residing within (Eph. 2:8). Our problem then is not an issue of faith, but rather an issue of revelation knowledge. Revelation knowledge will convince us of faith's presence within. It will reveal to us that faith is a force governed by spiritual laws. And with time in God's Word, using the lens of revelation knowledge (Christ's story), revelation knowledge will show us those laws and how to apply them to the spiritual force of faith residing within. When these laws are applied, the spiritual force of faith is then drawn out into the dimension of the soul to be united with the Word we hear, and profit, or the manifestation of that Word, ensues. This teaching reveals how to further develop the use of our spiritual faculties in order to draw out the spiritual force of God's faith.

Louie Weber - Mt 19:3-4 - Continuing in the series on God?s Word, Louie points directly to Jesus? admonition to His followers. When asking a question on divorce, Jesus simply asks them if they?ve read the Word. Since our faith is built only by the Word of God, it is impossible to grow in our relationship with God if we have no contact with Him through His Word. Even if we lack understanding, the Bible says the Holy Spirit will teach us. There simply is no substitute for the scriptures.

Listen Now:

Jerry Grieser - Hebrews 1:3 reveals Jesus as the One who represents God exactly and "mirrors" for us God's true nature. If revelation knowledge is to flow, it will flow through the One who has given us the exact picture of God! The lives and stories of Job, David, Abraham, Elijah, Peter and even Paul are do not reveal to us the full picture of who God is. They are simply snapshots of God in their lives. Their lives and stories must be overlaid with the life and story of Christ in order to complete the picture and give us a true revelation of God. Viewing the Word of God through the lens of Jesus Christ opens the door for revelation knowledge to flow. This teaching describes the schematic for God's power to be converted to revelation knowledge in order for that power to flow into the natural realm regulated to the exact voltage required for each situation.

Listen Now:

Jerry Grieser - Isaiah tells us (11:2-3) that Messiah would not judge by what His eyes see nor make decisions by what His ears hear. We are to imitate Christ. For revelation knowledge to flow we must be governed by something other than our senses (what we see, hear, or feel). While this may sound strange, it is only strange if we believe God is strange and man is normal. Paul shares with us from Eph. 1 that we have an ability to perceive things apart from using our physical eyes that brings understanding to our physical minds. In order for this to happen we must have our natural mind open to the mind of our recreated human spirit. In this teaching we discover how to open the door for revelation knowledge to begin to flow.

Vic Cales - Acts 20:32-35, Isa 58, Jn 3:16 - This sermon reveals to us that often times the things we dream of are not really our dreams. In reality our dreams are what we are able to give people to help them. We find our dreams in helping people believe they are valuable and have hope and a purpose. God modeled for us His love by giving his Son, Jesus. We find dreams come true by offering people the same hope that is found in Jesus.

Jerry Grieser - Part 1: Laying the Foundation for Revelation Knowledge to Flow - We are told in 1Corinthians 2 that man needs revelation knowledge to complete his education and that sense knowledge will often be at war with revelation knowledge. Paul stated emphatically that the things of God are spiritually appraised and foolishness to the natural man. In this teaching instruction is given on laying the foundation for allowing the mind of the recreated human spirit to overrule and regulate the computation of spiritual information received in the natural mind.

God desires for all these forces to be released so they might impact the physical dimension and our relationships with other people. The 'Fountain of Life', God's nature within us, can be released so we might experience the results of God's second creation work in our physical lives and relationships. In this teaching several specific results are explored and a summation of the series is reviewed in the "New Creation Affirmation."

Jerry Grieser - To the degree we can align our thinking with God's is the degree to which we can experience the results of the new birth in the physical dimension. In this teaching certain specific results of 'knowing' who we became when we became Christ are examined. Instruction is given on converting the spiritual forces of peace, love, reconciliation, life, and joy from flowing vertically in our relationship with God to flowing horizontally in our relationships with people.

Louie Weber - Gal 5:1 & John 8:32-36 - There is a marked difference between independence and freedom even if our culture uses the two terms interchangeably. In this teaching, Louie explores the difference in order to identify the course we are on. Most people seek independence yet never experience freedom. The freedom the Bible teaches is everything we yearn for but can only be found in Christ, but once it is discovered, it will never again be lost even if you are imprisoned or martyred. That?s the power of Christ?s freedom.

Jerry Grieser - This teaching begins to explore the results of renewing our minds to agree with how God sees things and how He views us. When we are in agreement with God, walking in intimacy, the valve on our recreated spirit is opened and the resources of heaven flow through the soulish dimension and into the physical realm. God's word indicates that some of the results of this overflow are peace, quietness, boldness, and confidence. Several scriptures on walking with God and experiencing intimacy with Him are explored as well as techniques for utilizing the weapons He has given for us to renew our minds.

Jerry Grieser - The 3rd step to 'releasing the life of God' from our recreated spirit is to Set Our Will to Renew Our Minds. In this teaching numerous scriptures with instructions on how to renew our minds are examined. These scriptures clearly reveal it our responsibility to begin and continue the process of ?renewing? our minds. Consideration is given to the resistance we encounter from the sense realm and Satan himself as we set our will to ?open the valve? on the recreated spirit

If all your hope is placed in this present life, Paul says you will be miserable, ?to be pitied more than all men.? However, placing your hope in eternal life allows you to live this life in abundance with contentment and fulfillment. This teaching presents the Biblical reason why something as simple as where your hope lies makes or breaks the joy of your life on earth.

Listen Now:

Jerry Grieser - Biblical faith is not a product of reason, it is the product of revelation knowledge (knowledge revealed to us through our spirit, from the Spirit of God). Both knowledge and wisdom come to us from two sources. Revelation knowledge is required to open the valve and release the life of God contained in our recreated spirit. In this teaching three steps are considered for opening the valve: 1. Establishing a mindset; 2. Bringing the body into subjection to the soul; and 3. Setting the will. In order to 'act' on these steps we must learn to listen to the voice of the recreated spirit and subjugate our senses to second place.

Louie Weber - Rom 10:17 - Because 1 Cor 15 points out that the pinnacle of our faith is in the hope of resurrection, this teaching lays the foundation for faith. What is faith? How do we get it? Is it the same as belief? When finished, the listener should have a fundamental foundation for believing God at His Word which culminates in our hope of resurrection.

Listen Now:

Jerry Grieser - Looking into the mirror of God's word we see the reflection of our recreated spirit. In 1Jn 4:17 we 'see' that right now, in this world, we are like Jesus. In Heb 10:10 & 14 the reflection shows us we are holy and perfect. In 2Tim 1:7 the reflection reveals we are full of power, love and self-discipline. Col 2:9-10 reflects the truth that all the Father's power, all of Christ's love, and all the compassion and comfort of the Holy Spirit resides in our recreated spirit. And Eph 1:13 reveals that all of these attributes have been sealed and preserved in us. Our recreated spirit cannot be contaminated or corrupted. It cannot be broken and does not need to be fed, rested, revived or renewed. Our 'new self' never needs to be filled, is always on, and is always ready to do God's will because our recreated spirit is always one with the Spirit of the Lord Jesus Christ. In this teaching find out how to renew your mind to these spirit realm truths and destroy the arguments the enemy gives against this knowledge of God.

Louie Weber - Hebrews 4:12 - What makes God?s Word different? What gives us life? The inseparable partnership between God?s Word & His Spirit are discussed in this teaching. This partnership goes to the core of our being and produces life when combined with faith.

Listen Now:

Jerry Grieser - Because God is spirit and the new birth is spiritual, He now sees His new creation people in their spirit. In God's sight we are holy, without blemish, and free from accusation - Col 1:22. God now sees our faith not our failures. His focus is on the 'new self'. In Hebrews 11 more than a dozen old testament men and women are 'recognized' for their deeds of faith. Every one of them had issues, missteps, and outright failures, yet God reports, not on their sin, but on their faith. Understanding that God does not record our failures allows us to 'throw' ourselves into the reality of His passion for us and opens the door for us to 'see' that we really are a new creation bearing the image and likeness of God. This 'new creation reflection' is explored further in this teaching.

Listen Now:

Louie Weber - Rom 3:4; Isaiah 55:10-11 - Pilate wondered it aloud in front of Paul, when he asked, ?What is truth?? We wonder the same thing whether we?re watching Law & Order or listening to our kids recount an altercation where their perspectives of the event are in conflict. This teaching claims God?s Word to be true and why you can benefit from that position of faith.

Listen Now:

Jerry Grieser - Romans 10:8-10 describes to us the point of connection and the inflow of God's life as our spirit becomes a 'new creation'. This teaching explains how intercourse with the Word of God (1 Pet. 1:23) impregnates us and 'delivers' to us salvation in the 'new birth'. The mirror of God's Word is used to reveal a reflection of what our recreated spirit now looks like, what we received in the birthing process, and how God now views us. This teaching begins to lay the foundation for 'living from the inside out' by revealing that "everything pertaining to life and godliness" has already been given to us by the divine power of God.

Listen Now:

Louie Weber - Acts 1 - As the disciples waited for the Holy Spirit to come and reside IN them, they prayed and taught the Word of God. While there are times we need to wait "on" the Spirit for specific direction, we no longer have to wait "for" Him to show us what to do. We walk through the doors He opens to preach the Word of God. All of us have been commissioned to share His Word, even if that means just to our families. It's how the Word spread in the first century and is still true today to "the outermost parts of the world."

Listen Now:

Jerry Grieser - This teaching explains some of the "behind the scene" events that took place during the death, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus, setting the stage for God's life to once again infuse the atmosphere of earth. The day that changed our world's calendars introduced a new race of people, new creation folks, whose union with deity re-establishes the heavenly authority that man was crowned with in creation - Ps 8:4-5. How this union is established and where the connection point occurs is explained in the New Creation Illustration.

Listen Now:

Jerry Grieser - At the Red Sea Moses told the Israelites to "stand still." God's response to Moses was, "Why are you crying out to me? Tell the sons of Israel to go forward." When we encounter difficult situations we must adopt God's 'move forward' perspective. To do this we must utilize our spiritual faculties to see into the spiritual dimension to discover "all that God has prepared for those who love Him." God has given us 'spiritual' eyes and ears that we might discover and appraise who we are in our spirit and all the "things freely given to us by God." In this teaching we discover how to engage our spiritual faculties in such a way that faith will convince us of the 'reality' of things which we do not see.

Listen Now:

Jerry Grieser - Paul tells us that becoming a 'new creation' is the only thing that matters - Gal 6:15. This teaching not only explores this 'circumcision of the heart' but shows us how we can know for certain we have been born again. Also explored in this teaching is God's plan to introduce the 'last Adam', and with Him, this 'second man', begin a new race of imperishable new creation people - 1 Cor. 15:45-50. The divinity of this 'second man' who came from heaven through a virgin birth to usher in the redemption of mankind is explained.

Elliott Mealer - Jer 29:11, Jer 33:3, Rom 10:9&13, Jn 6:28-29 - Elliott, a Wauseon native, is currently a freshmen at the University of Michigan and is part of the Wolverine football team. He shares his testimony of coming to know Christ, learning to pursue his football dream, and the tragic accident on Christmas Eve 2007 that changed his life. The loss of his father and girlfriend, who were both very important in his life, brings Elliott to encourage people to not wait for ?tomorrow? to accept Jesus ... you never know what the next moment may bring in your life. He expressed his gratitude to his girlfriend, Hollis, who led him to Christ prior to her death, and to Vic Cales, Oasis Pastor, who encouraged him in his football pursuit as well as his faith. Elliott then shared a special moment with Oasis as he was baptized by Vic Cales, and Fred Richer (father to Hollis).

Listen Now:

Jerry Grieser - In this teaching scriptural definition is given to the 'born again' experience. The biblical term 'born again' is foreign to the world, often misunderstood by the church, and left unexplained to many Christians although they have experienced its results. The Word is quite clear in defining the 'new birth', explaining how it occurs, and describing the results. Over a dozen scriptures directly related to the new birth are explained in this teaching.

Listen Now:

Max Smith - Fear is NOT for the believer! God has given us a spirit of power and confidence. We should expect to have success in every area of life because His favor and blessing are on us.

Listen Now:

Jerry Grieser - This teaching lays the groundwork for "seeing" and understanding what happens when a person is born again. For us to have an experiential relationship with God's Word we must first begin to "see" that Word as reality and learn to abide in it as Jesus instructed in Jn 8:31-32. Then, and only then, will we be able to grasp the fact that upon our second birth the Father's nature and all of heaven's resources were poured into our recreated spirit. When we recognize the reality of our spirit redemption, our spirit union with God, we can then find a perfect coordination between our spirit and our reasoning faculties.

Listen Now:

Louie Weber - Mt 29:19-20; Mk 16:16-18; Acts 4:19-20 - First, let?s set aside all guilt and talk about evangelism free from all past experiences. Why would Jesus commission all of us to reach others if it wasn?t good? If our only memories of evangelism bring about guilt and condemnation, then the reality is that God is missing somewhere in our mix. This teaching examines where He is involved in our efforts to reach lost people.

Listen Now:

Vic Cales - 2 Kings 2:1-25 - This teaching is about Elisha losing his mentor and father figure, Elijah. He had learned from Elijah that when we experience loss to grab a hold of more of God. We often try many different ways to deal with our loss and pain, but only one thing will make us truly happy: more of God in our life.

Listen Now:

Louie Weber - 1John 4:19 & 2Cor 5:4 - When we realize it was God?s initiative to show us His love, a release can occur. Being convinced of His mercy for us, we know others who are looking for and in need of that connection. While everyone hides, many people are desperately trying to be found. God is looking and is using our eyes and ears to locate them.

Listen Now:

Louie Weber - Gen 1:1-4; John 1:1-5 - When we think about beginning, we always think Genesis but the Bible, chronologically, begins with John 1:1. When we go back, we must go back to the Word. When God used His Word to create, it was always confirmed as "good." With the scarcity of God's Word in our culture, we must be proclaimers. God's Word is GOOD because it is UNDERSTANDABLE.

Listen Now:

Vic Cales - Jn 4.1-26 - This sermon reveals how Jesus was waiting at Jacob?s Well before the Samaritan woman got there. God is always ahead of us to show us His plans. Sometimes we hide and God has to show us he is not ashamed of us. Ultimately He reveals to us it is really Him we are looking for.

Lucas continued to share about the hardships that many of our pastors are facing in their efforts to share the message. During his teaching, he showed the all encompassing love of God and the completed work of Jesus through chapter 8 of Romans. It's all about God's goodness and His love for his children. If you missed this week, make sure and get a copy of this teaching and the OasNet update.

This teaching in light of the New Year surveys change and our three instinctive responses to it.

Listen Now:

Vic Cales - Matthew 2: 13-19 - Herod tries to kill the ministry of Jesus but fails. The church will not be destroyed by Satan, Jesus will destroy him. The prophecies of scripture about the world getting worse should not scare believers but encourage them. Jesus Christ will destroy the devil and redeem the earth for all time. The church should understand the prophecies predict the Church will prosper like never before during the last days. The scriptures encourage us to trust in God and not the world's system.

Listen Now:

Louie Weber - Psalm 103:2-4 - It's a question everyone asks during the holidays. The holiday response tends to be about presents. But the truth is, we got redeemed. The reason Jesus came was to give us back our original value - pricelessness.

Listen Now:

Louie Weber - Mat 2:1-12 - The Magi/Wise Men found the newborn King and came to worship Him. It?s a story filled with mystery and wonder, yet, their journey from Iran/Iraq spanned half a continent. With no GPS; not even a Rand McNally, they were guided directly by God. It?s a story filled with dreams, prophecy and visions. God still speaks and directs that way today. The stories of His visions, dreams and visitations continuing in the Mideast right now are miraculous. God is still doing today what He did through Jesus? birth 2000 years ago. He?s leading His children to Jesus by His Mighty Hand.

Listen Now:

Jerry Grieser - In order to raise up the next generation of gospel messengers we must utilize faith's recognition in developing a divine strategy for propelling the children in our lives toward their God-given destinies. Moses, Samuel, Samson, Esther, John, and Jesus all had parents or caregivers who employed faith's recognition, then discovered and implemented divine strategies for their children. These caregivers dealt with both the exhilaration and the pain of instructing, guiding, and exhorting these children according to their divine strategies. A commitment to faith's recognition will require sacrifice and heartache as we lay self aside, pour ourselves into the child, and watch as the required shaping and molding takes place on the journey toward his/her destination. Yet everyone who has ever experienced faith's recognition would definitely say it is worth it.

Vic Cales - Luke 16.19-31 - This sermon explains Hell is not based on good or bad. It takes the comparison of a rich man and a poor beggar and shows you that people go to heaven because they believe in Jesus Christ, and they go to Hell because they don't believe in Jesus Christ.

Listen Now:

Louie Weber - John 3:16; John 10:10 - Jesus didn?t come to earth with a list of things He wanted to accomplish. He came for one reason only: Life.

Whatever He did with whomever He was with, you can see it manifest in either abundant life (life NOW) or eternal life (life FOREVER). It?s as simple as that.

Louie Weber - Galatians 4:8-11 - The Law is perfect. The only problem with the Law is that I am not perfect. If the Law does what it is intended to do (show me my need for God's grace) then I can live by grace through faith in Jesus. If I believe the Law was to be used for me to measure up to God's expectation of perfection, I am sunk.

Vic Cales - I Thessalonians 5:23 - This teaching is a foundational teaching for who we are in Christ. It explains the born again make up of a believer's Spirit. It is important to know that a believer's Spirit is now Jesus living in us or known as the Holy Spirit. It now illustrates how we are sinless. The Soul is our mind, will, and emotions and is in the process of being transformed. The Soul is the decision maker of obeying the flesh or sinful nature or the Spirit. The Flesh is the body or referred to in the Bible as the sinful nature. Jesus put it to death on the cross and it is to be counted as dead. This contains 30 scriptures showing you the difference in Spirit, Soul, and Body.

Louie Weber - Gal 3:1-5 - What God removes from us through Grace is the Condemnation of sin, not necessarily the consequences of sin. What the enemy continually throws back at us is the consequences of sin in an effort to deceive us into believing grace no longer abounds. Paul reminds the Galatians what they have Seen & Heard so the package is complete.

Listen Now:

Louie Weber - Gal 1:6-2:1 - From the onset, Paul wants believers everywhere to know: Righteousness comes from God, not our performance.

Vic Cales - Scripture: Mt 1:23, ICor 12:12-22, Eph 4:11 - This teaching simply reveals to us God created us to never to be alone. From the creation of man, to the birth of Jesus, to his church of confessed believers, God made us family. It addresses the question do I have to go to church to be saved? The same question would be do I have to have eyes, ears, a nose or a mouth or arms and legs to go to heaven. The answer is we would be blind, deaf, mute and crippled without them. We have the church as our benefit.

Listen Now:

Louie Weber - John 8:1-11; 3:16-18 - This teaching looks at the place where the church shows up, stands up and speaks up in scripture. The question begs a hearing but the hearing centers around condemnation, not whether the church is just a place to attend.

Vic Cales - Mt 18.22-35 - This message convinces us that our sins are cancelled but how unforgiveness puts us under law and makes us keep asking God for forgiveness.

Listen Now:

Vic Cales - I Cor 6.12-20 - This sermon starts out confirming the fact we have been made sinless by faith in Jesus. It addresses the question why shouldn't I just sin all I want because I have grace.

Lucas Miles - Lucas began by thanking the Oasis body for their generous participation and partnership with the Oasis Network For Churches. He continued by sharing an overview of the message of Grace (which is the heartbeat of the Oasis churches) and the freeing power that it can bring to our relationships, with God and others. Perhaps more than ever, it is imperative that every believer know the heart of God - His love, grace, and deep mercy. The Good News of the gospel is that God's wrath was placed fully on the person of Jesus, and as a result He has set us free in every way. In Christ, you are righteous, healed, accepted, blessed, and perfected forever!!!!

Listen Now:

Louie Weber - Acts 1:6-7; 17:29-31, Rev 9:20-21 & Rom 3:21-24 - There is a clear, Biblical difference between Judgment FOR sin and consequences OF sin. The former has to do with what we believe; the latter with how we behave based on that belief. It is necessary according to the gospel of grace to get belief and behavior in their proper pecking order. Why? Misplacing them marks the difference between a confusing gospel that produces religion and THE gospel that produces faith. The results of which are world-changing.

Louie Weber - Rev 9 & 16 - There is so much room for God to work in our lack of knowledge and understanding. The only place He won?t violate is our will to disbelieve.

Vic Cales - This sermon deals with how to share the Gospel with Atheists, Agnostics, and people who are hoping to go to heaven because of their obedience. The sermon explains how the law is used to remove all self-righteousness and point to the need of a Savior. The flow of Salvation is easy: #1-There is a God Rom 1:20; #2-There is no such thing as a good person. Rom 3:1; and #3-God gave us an inheritance Eph 1:18. It also explains how some of our church terminology confuses people into a works centered gospel. This is a good teaching to share with your friends who want to share the gospel.

Vic Cales - Luke 18:18-28 & Luke 15:11-31 - This sermon compares the gospel stories of the rich young ruler and the prodigal son. Jesus tells the rich young ruler to sell all he has and give it away to the poor. Then Jesus tells his disciples it is easier for a camel to go through an eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. This is impossible! The prodigal ruins his life with sin and then gets a huge party. Why does one seem like God is full of grace and the other seems like it's hard to become a Christian? This message will explain the gospel and assure you God's grace is free.

Vic Cales - Luke 2:8-20 Romans 10:9, 6:23 - This sermon explains the good news of Salvation to all people. Shepherds were ordinary people living out with the livestock, just like Jesus was born with the livestock.

There is a Savior who saves us all who are born into sin from birth. It also notes that Jesus took away our fear of going to hell by our faith in what was done on the cross. It is the Gift of God to man.

Listen Now:

Louie Weber - Rom 11:29; Deut 7:22 - Whether we realize it or not, every gift comes with an expectation, a condition. The condition isn?t menacing or intrusive, it is simply that we receive the gift.

Louie Weber - James 5:13-16 - I don't like prayer! At least I thought I didn't like it. The prayers of today seem so different than the prayers from people in the Bible. Perhaps what is missing from our prayers is what made theirs powerful & effective: Faith & Righteousness. Understanding those two principles transforms the common person to one who prays with power and effect.

Listen Now:

Vic Cales - Matt 6:5-8 - The sermon points out that we have a God who knows how to answer the painful questions we have about life. It reveals that prayer is not just asking God for provision, but learning from God's counsel. Jesus teaches us that prayer requires us to go in our room and close the door so He can teach us what we need to know.

Louie Weber - 1 Peter 2:13-3:17 - The issue of submission has not as much to do with the authority over you as much as it has to do with your trust in God. If you endure unjust suffering because his word says: "to this you were called," it demonstrates a deep sense of trust. While this is a very difficult passage to apply, it does provide illustrations within its context.

Listen Now:

Louie Weber - Romans 13 & 1 Sam 8 - How do you submit to an authority that is abusive or one with which you do not agree? This teaching extols the necessity of a Spirit led life in the context of authority always operating for your benefit.

Listen Now:

Louie Weber - Rom 13:1-5; 1 Sam 8; Eph 3:1-11 - Almost every gift God gives us causes us trouble. The trouble is never inherent in the gift; but rather, in our lack of understanding of the gift and its usefulness. When we see why God gave us the gift, how it is to be used from His perspective becomes extremely beneficial. Authority is no exception.

Listen Now:

Louie Weber - Numbers 16; Prov 3:27; 24:11 - Scripturally speaking, there are only three places to stand: among the dead, among the living or in the gap bridging those dying to those experiencing life. Jesus was a "gapper" and His call is for us to occupy the same spot as He did.

Listen Now:

Louie Weber - Jeremiah 1:5; Psalm 25:12-15 - Not only did God make you unique, but within that determined individuality lies His way of prospering you. The way He confides in you His secrets for your life should allow you to trust Him with your entire being. Scripture doesn't lie.

Listen Now:

Louie Weber - Acts 2:1-13 - In John 14 Jesus promises the Counselor will come and lead us/teach us all truth. What happens when He finally arrives? People responded to Him in one of two ways upon His initial arrival. We still respond today in those same two manners.

Listen Now:

Louie Weber - John 14:15-17; 25-26 - When the Holy Spirit, the spirit of truth, arrives, He is going to teach you about you. His goal is to be personal. What He is going to reveal to you will release you from what you've always thought and what you've always been taught. When He "teaches you all things," the promise of the truth setting you free will occur (John 3:8).

Listen Now:

Louie Weber - John 14:15-16; John 8:32 - Contrary to what we think, God's desire to deal with us and our sin is always private. The enemy will always push for a public exposure so he can increase embarrassment and teach us to hide from God rather than deal with Him intimately and personally. John 8:32 will feel good to us when we understand the way in which God frees us from sin's grasp.

Listen Now:

Vic Cales - Luke 2:21-42 - This teaching explains why we have baby dedications, and how as a community of believers we speak the word of God and His authority, in order to help children find their destinies. Luke uses the story of Simeon and Anna to reveal how God?s spirit will speak to reveal our futures and encourage our faith.

Listen Now:

Louie Weber - John 14:15-17 - Jesus said it would be better when the Holy Spirit came. Why are we still so messed up? What did He mean by that and what is the Holy Spirit's role as "Counselor?" These issues are addressed in scripture; the results may surprise you.

Vic Cales - John 3:1-8, Jer 29:11 - Mark Miller, former NFL quarterback, gave a testimony about the Oasis Connection he has witnessed over the years through a relationship with Vic Cales which began with Vic?s college football career at BGSU. Elliott Mealer, Wauseon HS student, gave his testimony of God's dream for him to play football for the University of Michigan, when Elliott?s plan had been to be an Ohio State Buckeye. Vic Cales wraps the teaching together with how God has plans for us and we don't always know what they are, but when we trust Him our greatest dreams come true.

Listen Now:

Max Smith - John 14 and John 16:8 - The voice of the Holy Spirit is comforting and encouraging to believers. Jesus promised he would guide us into truth, show us things to come, and make known to us the things of Christ. If you are hearing "voices" in your head that aren't encouraging; know that this is NOT the voice of the Holy Spirit.

Listen Now:

Louie Weber - John 3:1-8 - Most people equate moves of the Holy Spirit to be extreme and polarizing; weird, in fact. To think of Him that way would be equivalent to thinking normal weather includes tornadoes and hurricanes. Yes, they occur and are powerful but they are not the norm. This teaching looks at the role of the Holy Spirit as the change agent in a believer's life.

Lucas Miles - Ephesians 1:17-20 and Chapter 3 - Many of us would be petrified if we came home and found someone reading our journals. The fear of being exposed in that way scares us to death. But this is exactly what God did through His Word and the person of Jesus. God exposed Himself. He fully revealed His heart, His nature, and His plan and I believe He wants us to follow suit. Each one of us has a personal glory on the inside of us. Something much deeper than just our thoughts or emotions, it is the full essence of who we are in Christ. When we got born again, God's Spirit united with our spirits and we became a new creation. Now, we're loaded. We've got the nature of God on the inside of us; the same power that raised Christ from the dead dwells in you and me! In this teaching, Lucas discusses the reality of the new creation and how to learn to release it by love.

Listen Now:

Louie Weber - John 1:40-42 - Leading people to Jesus isn't done best by carefully devised marketing plans. The best plan is one that naturally occurs among people. If you encounter something that changes your life, it is very natural to tell someone with whom you have a relationship. That's the driving force behind 121x1. The Pastoral Staff will continue focusing on the Power of God's Presence and the environment in which we experience it. The Body will focus on inviting people to experience His life-changing presence.

Louie Weber - Mark 9:21-24 - You don't have to be "full" of faith to make significant changes in your life. As a matter of fact, you only need a little faith (seed) to take a significant step in the right direction. That little step restores hope which is by nature a faith increasing principle.

Listen Now:

Louie Weber - John 1:1 & Hebrews 4:12-13 - There is a difference between an environment for change and a change agent. Ministries, Life Groups, even worship, are all great places for change to occur but they don?t change people, God?s Word does; everything else is simply a part of the picture ? periphery. Yes, they make the picture complete, but they are not the main focus.

Listen Now:

Louie Weber ? Eph. 1:14-19 ? A fact represents what man understands at the moment; therefore, facts are always subject to changing as our understanding of creation grows. Truth is when we understand God?s wisdom or revelation to us which or revelation to us which doesn?t change but stays constant. Thus, when we make our decision based on facts or human wisdom, we set ourselves up for confusion. Instead, let?s do what Paul tells us to do: seek a spirit of wisdom and revelation so our life and decisions can be based on something that never changes?the truth.

However, when something bothers us deeply and in a way from which we can't escape, it may be due to God speaking to us. The more deeply it bothers us, the higher the probability that we CAN do something about it.

John Toth - Genesis 29-31 - Have you ever become frustrated or given up in a relationship because it almost seems impossible to come into true agreement? I know that I have and this teaching is a result of overcoming that frustration. Every person creates a different kind of environment. This teaching covers two different kinds: an environment that prevents agreement, and an environment that is for agreement. You may not be able to control or change the people that you are in relationship with, but you can change yourself. You have the power to create an environment that encourages agreement, if you want insight into how, then this teaching is for you. I hope that you are encouraged and that you find the answers that you are looking for.

Louie Weber - Lk 24:1-8; Acts 1:6-11 - God answers our questions according to the form in which they?re asked. Sometimes we need information which He is happy to supply. Other times we ask a question because we are confused ... disoriented. Many times, He returns our question with another question. His purpose is not to further confuse us but to reorient us; to bring clarity to our life. His questions always have a tendency to do just that

This message was intended to heal the wounds of those who have been hurt while trying to trust, and also to encourage others in a deeper level of trust with God and each other. I hope you find encouragement from this teaching.

Listen Now:

Julie Weber - Daniel 3 - In life we are taught to watch people?s behavior and observe things in order to find out whether they are trustworthy. We are taught that we watch for Results and then we Trust. But God is different. In His Wisdom, He teaches us that Trust Produces Results. This teaching will help you think about trust as a decision.

Listen Now:

Louie Weber - Eph 1:17 - Revelation does not need to be weird; God speaks to each of us in a manner that?s understandable. This teaching covers three areas in which we receive revelation: Natural Revelation (what is created), Biblical Revelation (what is written) & Spirit Revelation (what is spoken).

Listen Now:

Louie Weber - Ephesians 1:17 - Revelation is God's chosen way of relating to us and us to Him. Nothing can replace the nature of a two-way, interpersonal relationship with Him. It's what He desired from the beginning.

Listen Now:

Julie Weber - Genesis: 2 - There are so many questions that we have for God that seem to go unanswered. This teaching will help you understand what has clogged up and complicated our lives. Complication was never a part of God?s plan; His message is Simple. Hear It, and Be Set Free!

Listen Now:

John Toth - Matthew 26:39-45 - I can think back to multiple times in my life where it seemed like everything was closing in on me. I can remember times in my marriage, in my finances, and my everyday experiences where I was in need of something and did not know what it was. I have looked to people, to opportunities and everywhere else to find what I needed and would come up empty handed. I have learned that what I need in those times is a revelation from God. The Bible reveals that Jesus encountered times when He needed a revelation, the disciples also found themselves in need of a revelation. This message challenges you to seek God for the revelation that you need and not to give up until you receive it. I believe that you will receive the revelation that you need from God.

Listen Now:

Louie Weber - 1 Sam 3:1-10; Eph 1:17 - This story illustrates what most of us go through when trying to understand revelation. Samuel, as a young man, didn?t recognize it when it was occurring. Eli, as an old prophet, forgot what it was like. And both of them continued to serve God while they were learning to understand revelation. That is the reason for this series!

Listen Now:

Julie Weber - 1 Samuel 18-28 - Ever assume someone doesn?t like you? Ever been hurt by someone?s assumptions about you? This sermon takes a look at the assumption King Saul made about David, and David?s response to those assumptions. So many times in life we live making assumptions out of fear or our pride. Assumptions can lead us to have a wrong perspective towards people and even God. Start enjoying your life more and get free from assumptions.

Listen Now:

John Toth - 1Peter 2:13-14 - If God is the one that created the concept of authority and commanded us to live submitted to it, then why the difficulty? It is possible that the difficulty could be with rebellion in your heart, and it is also possible that you have a misunderstanding of submission. The Word of God opens our eyes to both issues. We are encouraged not to fall into the trap of living a rebellious life style and encouraged to life fully submitted to God. Submitting to God may lead us at times to be disobedient to man, but at the heart of our actions will be a desire to win man to God, not to rebel against man.

Listen Now:

Louie Weber - John 11:38-44 - The entire story of this 5 part series draws to a conclusion in this teaching. The story is about one thing---life. All the circumstances surrounding us can sometimes disguise the main thing---are we alive If not, how can we revive the things of God that we have let die? The response, private and corporate, to this teaching is a decision to come back to life like Lazarus.

Listen Now:

Louie Weber - John 11:17-27 - We choose daily whether our decisions lead us to the Realm of Accusation or the Realm of Understanding. God operates only in one of them. This story highlights Martha?s choice and the incredible fruit that followed. She had every reason to blame Jesus for her brother?s death: He said Lazarus wouldn?t die; He delayed coming, etc. But Martha chose not to accuse/blame. Why? This teaching shows monumental difference in the results that follow when we make similar choices.

Louie Weber - John 11: 17-19 - When Jesus told Martha, ?There is only one thing that is necessary,? what was He referring to? And, if He was correct, what are the distractions that keep us from that one thing? This teaching speaks specifically to the ?necessary? in an effort to eliminate what distracts all of us from experiencing LIFE the way Jesus intends it to be: eternal & abundant.

Listen Now:

John Toth - Acts 3:1-10 - We each have areas in our lives where we are crippled. You have the choice to look for others to carry you in those areas, or you can turn to Jesus Christ and he will enable you to walk. You face the choice every day of your life: A Hand-Up or A Hand-out. I want to encourage you to ask for and to take every Hand-Up that becomes available; they are good for you.

Listen Now:

Julie Weber - Titus 2 - The grace of God is our foundation for salvation and learning to live a godly life. We, as Christians, at times may feel like we aren?t getting anywhere, and ?running into walls? everywhere in our lives. God calls us to grow up so that our dreams may be fulfilled. God wants us to be filled with character so that we can continue to experience God?s abundance. We are eager to do good, because God has given us His character.

Listen Now:

Louie Weber - John 11: 4-16 - There is no desperation like hopelessness. Once we arrive at hopelessness, everything becomes blurry and feels like it can?t be fixed. One certain avenue to hopelessness is when we can?t understand each other?s perspectives, no matter how hard we try. Understanding each other makes life enjoyable and peaceful; however, understanding each other is not the full definition of consideration. Understanding what God is doing in each other not only helps us avoid hopelessness, it actually allows us to live life to the fullest (abundance).

Listen Now:

Louie Weber - Scripture: John 11:4-6 - Jesus wants us to see something in this passage of scripture; and what He wants us to see is the power of His glory. So important is it, that He is willing to appear thoughtless and even offensive, in order that we understand things from God's perspective (Considerate - considering things from God's perspective).

Listen Now:

John Toth - The Book of 1 Samuel - We have all been affected by the relationship that we have with our father. Many people have experienced good relationships with their fathers, but there are also those who have experienced painful relationships with their fathers. If that pain remains untouched, it can lead you to doubt yourself. This teaching talks about how to be healed from the pain that you experienced in your relationship with your father, so that the self doubt that you battle with can be destroyed. We learned a few things about forgiveness and also a few things about being a son or a daughter of God. One of the most important truths we discovered in this teaching is that God believes in each one of us with all of His heart.

Listen Now:

Louie Weber - John 11:1-3; Mt 26:7-13; Colossians 3:1-2 - What does it mean to be thoughtful? Considerate? There is a difference and the difference is huge. It is possible to let our thoughtfulness stop us from being considerate. This series will take a long look at Jesus? ministry of consideration from the story told in John 11.

Listen Now:

Louie Weber - Romans 16 & Philippians 1:4-6 - The fact that someone has been around will not cause you to "remember" them. We remember people based on their level of participation in our lives. Favorite Grandparents aren't remembered because they were at all our events, they are favorite because they participated in our life. Paul lists people at the end of Romans who partnered with him in ministry, not just people who showed up. Partnership takes everyone into consideration and allows everyone to participate. That is by God's design!

Vic Cales - I Kings 3:16-28 - The teaching is about the God given nature of a woman to love and nurture her children. The passage is when King Solomon gives the ruling to cut the baby in half and divide it for two mothers claiming the child to be theirs. When the real mother speaks up and says don't kill my baby, Solomon reveals to Israel the real mother. This teaching is illustrated with stories of how mothers fight for their children.

Listen Now:

Louie Weber - Rev 5: 5-14 - When given the opportunity to open the scroll, and thus initiate the final process of our perfection, the Lamb did not hesitate. He did not stumble toward the Throne sheepishly (no pun intended), nor did He bemoan, "Oh, God, I am not worthy." No! He was not so arrogant as to defy what God said He was; that being "Worthy." He stepped up out of obedience and took the scroll without fear and self-loathing. When we put ourselves in a position to believe that what God says about us is true, we will understand worth. If we believe more strongly in what the Enemy says about us than what God says about us, we will be ruled by fear; not just external pressure, but internal doubt that causes us to question the very Word of God about ourselves. That type of fear defines arrogance.

Listen Now:

Louie Weber - Rev 5:1-5; Jude :9 - Since fear is our biggest hindrance, the Lord Jesus presents Himself capable and willing to help us wipe it out. Fear Factor #1: External Fear (fear that pressures us from the outside in) can be eradicated with one roar from the Lion of Judah. Even when we're afraid, the Lion's roar turns fear back on its author, Satan, and calms us with the security of the Lion of Judah's power and authority.

Louie Weber - 1 Cor 15:1-19 - Happiness can be affected by a thousand different things, so when Paul writes about what he considers to be "of supreme importance," they might be worth checking out. This teaching deals with 3 important aspects of life that will lead to "misery" instead of joy: 1) Believing something in vain; 2) Believing something to be true because of WHO said it more than WHAT was said; and 3) Placing all our hope in this life alone.

Wisdom is crying out, telling you to humble yourself and to access God's wisdom through the Holy Spirit.

Romans 8 teaches us that Jesus set us free from guilt (condemnation). But that freedom does not excuse us from doing good.

John Toth - 1John.4:16-18, Romans.12:3, 1John.1:8-10 - In this message we discovered that fear drives us to pretend by exaggerating or downplaying all sorts of things in our lives. We saw that this pretending creates a self produced pressure that prevents God?s Word from fully working in us. We are tempted to exaggerate or downplay our status, who we are, the experiences we have and on and on the list goes. The only way to remove this pressure is by humbling ourselves and getting honest with God, ourselves and others. God loves each one of us, and as we embrace this truth, we become secure enough to live an honest life, a life where the pressure is off. People of God, it is time to be freed from this pressure.

Max Smith - Mark 6:1-6; Mark 8:22-26 - The environment you are in can go a long way in determinning your ability to receive from God. Jesus' hometown was offended by him, making it tough for the locals to see miracles happen. A blind man had to be led out of a village to receive his sight and was also commanded by Jesus, "don't go back to the village". Jesus is showing us that surrounding ourselves with people of faith is vital. Holding on to what God gives you isn't always easy, especially if you are surrounded by doubt, skepticism, and unbelief! Make an effort to find people of faith to encourage you, affirm what God is doing in you, and GIVE YOU LIFE! Be wise in whom you share your heart with, and especially the things God has spoken to you; bad company corrupts good character!

Louie Weber - 2Kings 5:1-15 - Are you not experiencing the goodness of God? There may be hundreds of reasons but they each direct us to one necessary point of clarity: Humility. Humility is the only way for us to see God?s perspective clearly. Our own perspective will always leave us with far less than God intends. Humility is the beginning, middle and end of Naaman?s story.

Is immoral behavior irrelevant? No, but it does not determine how much or how little God loves me and that's good news

John Toth - Romans 4:13-23 - How can we stop being disappointed? Most people try to stop being disappointed by one of two ways: 1.) Expecting the worst, or 2.) Choosing to no longer get their hopes up. Either way, you are actually choosing to embrace disappointment rather than avoid it. There is only one way to stop being disappointed in life and that is by getting your hopes up based on what God Himself says or promises. If you still face disappointment in your life then we must look back and see what went wrong because it is not God's Word that was wrong. 1) Is it a promise from God? 2) Area you experiencing (personally) that promise, believing it is true (spiritually) before it actually manifests physically? 3) Are you fully persuaded and aggressively waiting for that promise to manifest? If you say yes to all of these statements, then you cannot be disappointed. You only get disappointed when you stop getting your hopes up and you only stop getting your hopes up when you stop believing the promises are true, or get tired of waiting for them to manifest.

Julie Reeves - Jeremiah 29:11 - Discovering grace and faith is more that just getting some technical details, it is really knowing God's heart for you. Grace means God chose you to bless from the beginning. He is to bless you more than you want to be blessed. Faith means believing that God deeply desires to bless you and never veering from that. Listen how His Heart beats for you just like it did for Jacob, Onan, Joseph, and Moses.
