Monday, April 26, 2010 Host: Tim Kelley In any consistent teaching on the Grace of God it is important to understand that God's Grace has a plan of transformation for your life. This is an inner life transformation, causing you to be not only conformed in your outward life style and actions, but more importantly, transformed internally. Transformed in the place no one can see - where we become finished work believers inwardly. Titus 2:11-12

Blessed be the Merciful 3

Wed, 21 Apr 2010 00:00:00 EST

Wednesday, April 21, 2010 Host: Tim Kelley The "merciful" have no expectations of people. We just love with no demand of reciprocation. We know where we have come from – and know how much grace we received. Matthew 5:5-7 2 Peter 1:5-9

Blessed be the Merciful 2

Tue, 20 Apr 2010 00:00:00 EST

Tuesday, April 20, 2010 Host: Tim Kelley The "merciful" do not pre-judge someone. We look for the best in people – not the worst. The "merciful" person is slow to condemn and quick to commend. Do not rebuke a person until you have wept for that person. Matthew 5:5-7 1 John 3:16-18

Blessed be the Merciful 1

Mon, 19 Apr 2010 00:00:00 EST

Monday, April 19, 2010 Host: Tim Kelley The life of Jesus is the reflection of the Sermon on the Mount. Imbedded in this teaching is the heart and character of God and the value system of Heaven. This is what we want to emulate in our walk with God. "Merciful" indicates being moved with pity and compassion – it involves thought and action. This is a quality of one's inner life. Matthew 5:5-7

Higher Truth 2

Fri, 16 Apr 2010 00:00:00 EST

Friday, April 16, 2010 Host: Tim Kelley This message could take care of more problems in our emotions, thoughts, past, and frame of reference. The great power of Calvary lies in our position in Christ becoming our experiential reality. There must be this transition of thinking, when we start thinking like God thinks about ourselves, about Him and about life in general! We want to live in higher truth, truth that supersedes our experience, whether it is good, bad or ugly. Romans 6:3-6

Into Your Hands I Commit My Spirit 2

Wed, 14 Apr 2010 00:00:00 EST

Wednesday, April 14, 2010 Host: Tim Kelley This was the moment He came into the world for; He had lived his life for this moment. It was always in front of Him. Now just as He was dying, as He made His soul an offering for sin unto God, He committed it to His divine care and protection; and to enjoy His presence, during its separation from His body. Luke 23:44-48

Words From The Cross 3

Wed, 07 Apr 2010 00:00:00 EST

Wednesday, April 7, 2010 Host: Tim Kelley We will see two very practical applications to the Lord's sayings on the Cross and glean some purpose for ourselves. There is a lot to be said just by being in position, present! If John was not where Jesus was when he hung on the cross, he would have missed a divine directive. When we are not around what God is doing, we miss, or could miss God's actions and directions. There is much to be said for simply being 'PRESENT.'

My God, Why Have Thou Forsaken Me? 2

Fri, 02 Apr 2010 00:00:00 EST

Friday, April 2, 2010 Host: Tim Kelley This is the most gut wrenching verse in the entire Bible. The pain uttered by our Lord exceeds that of the physical. Physical pain can be endured; we often can wait it out until death brings its freedom. This pain came from a deeper well - a man forsaken from the presence of God, and tortured by the silence of God.My Matthew 27:41-47

Father Forgive Them 2

Wed, 31 Mar 2010 00:00:00 EST

Wednesday, March 31, 2010 Host: Tim Kelley These are probably the most significant of all of Jesus words; they call this entire passage the 'The 7 Words of the Cross.' It must be understood, that by this time, the physical pain Jesus had endured was excruciating. To talk, because of the nature of crucifixion, was painful, not to mention the torn flesh from the scourging. This verse separates the Christian faith from all others. The world is a world of equity and consequences, eye for a eye, pain for pain – justice. Jesus changed all that. He said "Father forgive them." Luke 23:33-43

Text Article: Spiritual Misalignments

After a few x-rays and other exams my Chiropractor told me my spine was out of alignment, and informed me that many people are living life with spinal misalignment, causing many conditions that all too often go totally unnoticed. Often Christians have a spiritual misalignment that unfortunately many wonderful believers live with on a day-to-day basis.

Text Article: Grace Victories, Part 2

We can now rest in what's been accomplished on our behalf. Oh, how Christians and orthodox religion need to understand this. Most pulpits today put people to work, not point them to a rest that will cause them to work. We serve out of a place of finished work rest, not some religious ideal or quota system.
