God's Spoken Ways

Walking In Darkness

cecilbarry — Sat, 06 Jan 2018 12:15:35 -0500

Walking In Darkness – This is about how God’s uses darkness to bring things to light. He uses darkness to teach us about sin, ourselves, and the cares of the world. I know this is a subject most would like to skip over, and assume that because we accepted Christ, we go to church, and we pay offering darkness is not present in us. But that is not the case, God’s Word teaches us how to walk in the light of Christ Jesus so we are no longer walking in any parts of darkness. We must examine ourselves and grow our faith to fully walk in the light of Christ, where there is no traces of darkness in us at all.

God Is One

cecilbarry — Tue, 02 Jan 2018 09:16:30 -0500

God Is One – Is a teaching about how we see God. There are many theories about God being one, some are based on scripture, while others are modification of scripture to promote their doctrine understanding of God. But if we take God’s Word as the only truth, then we would see that God is the creator of all things, therefore all things are of God. Sense all things are of God, then you and I being received by the Father through his Son Christ Jesus through reconciliation which took a way the veil of sin that separated us from God, can be one with him. Through our acceptance and obedience to Christ Jesus we who believe and love God, can be one with the Father and the Son

God’s Loving Character

cecilbarry — Tue, 26 Dec 2017 13:32:02 -0500

God’s Loving Character – Is a teaching about working with the Holy Spirit to look at our character and nature to ensure we are growing and changing into the image of Christ Jesus. Without this transformation, our nature will continue to cause us to suffer while we are seeking God. Taking on the loving character of God will ensure we reach maturity in Christ Jesus by growing us and our faith. God’s loving character that is in Christ Jesus, must also be in us. The light of Christ must shine through us, so not only are we changed, but others will see and notice how much our character is like that of Christ Jesus

Keeping The Story Straight

cecilbarry — Sat, 16 Dec 2017 15:11:08 -0500

Keeping The Story Straight – Is about how the Power of God is founded in what God spoke, wrote, and revealed through Christ Jesus. If we decide to add, modify, or delete anything from God’s Word then we are impacting the Power of God to be effective in our lives. If we add made-up stories to God’s Word, then we nullify its power to transform us into the image of Christ Jesus. We must keep God’s Word straight, so it can have impact on lives that are yet to come. Keeping God’s Word straight requires that we change, not that we change God’s Word to suite our desires and passion. We need to keep God’s Word just as it was given, so many can be saved, and the Power of God can still be effective today

God’s Protection

cecilbarry — Mon, 11 Dec 2017 09:19:02 -0500

God’s Protection – is about learning how to live under God’s protection. One of the things that happens once we become a Christian is, we assume we are automatically put under God’s protection. But if we look into scripture it would become clear that we must seek God’s protection so we are shielded from the arrows of the devil, and our enemies. God’s does not extend his protection so we can keep on sinning, but to give us time to overcome our sin, and become more faithful and obedient to God.

Nothing Is Impossible For God

cecilbarry — Sun, 03 Dec 2017 09:40:09 -0500

Nothing Is Impossible With God – it’s about each one of us learning that there is nothing impossible for God. While we like to believe within ourselves, yet many things are impossible for us. We must recognize our limitations, there are many things we cannot achieve within ourselves. We must learn to trust and have faith in God the Father through Christ Jesus, it’s the only way we can make it and overcome our troubles. While there are many things impossible for mankind, nothing is too hard for God, nothing is impossible for the Lord. If we place all our hope in him, if we place our very lives in his hand, and seek him, then we will see that through Christ Jesus there is nothing we cannot do through him according to God’s Will

The Race

cecilbarry — Mon, 20 Nov 2017 12:21:03 -0500

The Race – whether we want to admit it or not, we are all in a race. Some of us are running to obtain everything we can in this world, hoping when it’s all said and done we will find joy and happiness. While others of us have come to understand that running a race to achieve things of this world could never bring us the peace, joy, and love we seek. We need to think about the race we are running to ensure everything we do is preparing us to run our race so it leads to God. We can’t waste time running our race hoping towards the end we can jump over and start running a race for God, we won’t make it in this way. We need God to prepare us for the race he has marked out for us, we need to run the race his way, all the way to the end.

Prepared By God

cecilbarry — Mon, 13 Nov 2017 12:05:50 -0500

Prepared By God – is a teaching about letting God prepare us for the reason we were created. We have spent enough time in this world trying to prepare ourselves, trying to make a way for ourselves, it’s time to give ourselves over to God and let him prepare us for his calling. Only by being prepared by God will we be satisfied and not be in want, not desiring to chase after this world. Being prepared by God will change everything about us, it is the Lord who equips us and prepares us so what we do brings God glory.

God’s Will

cecilbarry — Mon, 06 Nov 2017 08:28:56 -0500

God’s Will – This teaching is about learning to walk in God’s Will. Many of us believe we have a relationship with Christ Jesus, but we must ask ourselves the question, are we walking in God’s Will? It’s only by us following God’s Will can we achieve our purpose through Christ Jesus for our lives. God’s Will requires that we live a certain way, that we act a certain way, and that we obey his word in following his Son Christ Jesus. Do you know God’s Will for your life or you seeking his will, or are you just asking God to bless your will and plan?

No Time For God

cecilbarry — Sat, 28 Oct 2017 13:29:33 -0500

No Time For God – Busy, busy …. We are all so busy, so we look for ways to shorten our time with God. We want the church service to be short, our prayers are short, our time studying God’s Word is short or none existing. We are too busy to spend time with God. God honors those who seek him, those who spend much time in prayer, and those who studies his Word. But for those who don’t have time for God, be assured God won’t have time for you. God’s Word is filled with scriptures teaching us about how we need to continuously seek the Lord so we can find him, so in our time of need, the Lord will answer our prayers. This requires you and I to spend a lot of time with God.

The Real You

cecilbarry — Sun, 22 Oct 2017 09:13:44 -0500

The Real You –This teaching is about realizing that we cannot grow our faith without being true to ourselves and with God. Today’s world is teaching us to be fake and false, but how can we serve God if we are not being true with who we really are? When our lives are based on the fake and false things that we wear, things we put on, and the things we do to ourselves that changes us into something that we are not. We must be true to ourselves, so we can be true to God. We know God only deals with truth, so if we want the Lord to answer our prayers, we better get real with God regarding who we are.

Crying Out To God

cecilbarry — Mon, 16 Oct 2017 09:53:45 -0500

Crying Out To God – is a teaching about learning to cry out to God in good and bad times so he knows our name and answer us. We can’t be the type of believer who allows pride to control our faith. Pride will make us stiff-neck and we won’t humble ourselves and cry out to God. We need to come before the Lord on bending knees, with our heart open, and tears flowing from our eyes. Crying aloud, Lord we have sinned, we have done wrong. Lord we cry out to you because you have blessed us in so many ways and we want to thank you. We need your grace and mercy Lord. With tears flowing from our heart, Lord hear us, harken to our cries.

All Glory Belongs To God

cecilbarry — Sun, 08 Oct 2017 12:50:48 -0500

All Glory Belongs To God – in following, sharing, and preaching God’s Word, we receive blessings and favored from the Lord, but praise that are received should not be attached to us, but return to the throne of God. You and I cannot keep any of God’s glory for ourselves, allowing others to be lifted up and praised. We know that all things good comes from God, and he deserves all the glory. If God provided for us, then he deserves the glory. If the Lord healed us, then he deserves the glory. If God made a way for us, then he deserves all the praise and glory. All glory, honor, and praise belongs to God.

No Turning Back

cecilbarry — Sun, 01 Oct 2017 13:30:49 -0500

No Turning Back - After we have established our faith correctly in the Lord, it is important that we grow and work on our salvation as taught by the Lord. We have to reach a point in our faith where no trouble, no loss, no situation, no circumstance can cause us to turn back to our old ways, to turn back to seeking things in this world. We have come too far, we can’t turn back now. We have overcome much through leaning on Jesus, we can’t turn away, we can’t turn back; we must continue to grow our faith through it all. If we turn back, we won’t be fit, we won’t be able to enter in God’s Kingdom if we turn back.

Growing Through Storms

cecilbarry — Sat, 23 Sep 2017 12:59:33 -0500

Growing Through Storms – is a teaching about how we need to grow through all that life throws our way. We can chose to allow storms that come our way make us not believe or even worse, turn us away from God. We must come to understand and learn why storms are necessary in our lives, why storms are intended to help us grow in the Lord. Without a storm coming in our lives, nothing would make us take notice, nothing would make us change our behavior, and nothing would make us cry out to God.

Personal Walk With God

cecilbarry — Mon, 18 Sep 2017 18:00:17 -0500

Personal Walk With God - This is a teaching about the importance of developing a personal walk with God, so we not only know him, but he knows us. It’s through a personal walk with the Lord that we are able to grow and mature. We are not in the Old Testament times when God accepted as one group of people. This is about you and I have a personal relationship, a personal walk with Christ Jesus so he won’t tell us he never knew us, and to get away from him. He will call us friend, because we walked with him, we followed the Lord.

Conditions of God

cecilbarry — Sun, 10 Sep 2017 15:19:47 -0500

Conditions Of God – is a teaching about how God has established conditions (If’s) in his word that we must adhere to for blessings and favor to flow unto us. The Lord has given us his love unconditionally, but he has not given us his favor and blessings unconditionally, we must examine our lives as it relates God’s Word and the conditions in which God the Father will bless us through his Son Christ Jesus. For all the blessings and favor of God is manifested in Christ, but we must follow, obey, and apply God’s Word to our lives to receive.

Clinging To Self

cecilbarry — Mon, 28 Aug 2017 08:55:31 -0500

Clinging To Self - This is a teaching about looking at our walk with the Lord and making sure we are not clinging to our old self. We have come to understand just how indulging our old self and old behaviors are, and how they will keep us from growing and maturing in Christ Jesus. We can’t serve the Lord while still desiring the things we did before coming to know Christ Jesus. All our old habits, behaviors, and sins have to be put to death, they must go for us to be able to faithfully follow and serve Christ Jesus in pleasing God the Father. It all must die, so we are free to serve, free to obey God

Only The Righteous

cecilbarry — Mon, 21 Aug 2017 14:10:19 -0500

Only The Righteous - This is a teaching about the importance of us working to become a righteous Child of God as we grow in faith. God called us, but we must work to become righteous in his eyes. It’s not about being perfect, it is about being able to walk in the righteousness God has called us through Christ. In God’s Word he shares his standards by which we must live, teaching us how to do away with that which makes us unworthy. It is in God’s Righteousness that we elevate our lives beyond what we can do, because we know there is no good us outside of what God has poured into us. It is through us taking upon God’s Righteousness through Christ Jesus that we come to experience and know God for ourselves. Through God’s Righteousness we will be judged; only the righteous will see God

Mind Of Christ

The Mind of Christ - This message is a about learning what it means for us to take on the Mind of Christ Jesus. How do we take on the Attitude of Christ in our lives? It’s not easy, because we really desire to do things our own way. This world and Satan is working hard to ensure you and I live our lives with a troubled mind, so we worry and are afraid of many things. A person with a troubled mind cannot focus on God, and their prayers are hampered by daily trouble that consumes their thinking. But Christ Jesus is calling for us to take upon his attitude, to take upon his Spirit, so with a clear conscience, and we are able to serve God with our mind stayed on Jesus.

Circumcised Heart

Circumcised Heart - This is a teaching about the condition of our heart. God places a lot of emphasis on the condition of our heart, because it’s the gateway to our soul. The condition of our hearts represents the strength of our faith. Something’s in our heart has to be cut away by the Spirit of God so we can grow and have great faith. Everything that is in us that is not of the Lord needs to cut away. All anger, rage, adult, unfaithfulness, forgiveness, greed, selfness, and all sexual immorality has to be cut away so we can live before God with a circumcised heart by faith in Christ Jesus

Divided Body

cecilbarry — Sat, 29 Jul 2017 14:10:29 -0500

Divided Body - This is a teaching about how the body of Christ needs to remember that we cannot function as a separated body. As the Word of God teaches us, a house that is divided cannot stand. So if the body of Christ is divided, it will not stand. As Christian’s we need to remove the divisions of faith, division of domination, and work together to achieve the plan of God, by being one in Christ Jesus. Our assignment is to strength the Body of Christ not to weaken it with our religion division.

Fear Of God

cecilbarry — Sat, 15 Jul 2017 13:00:19 -0500

Fear of God– Is a teaching about learning the importance of having a fear of God within every believer. Without a fear of God living on the inside of us, though we believe, we won’t do what it says. Though we want God through Christ Jesus to bless and love us, we won’t put away our sins. It’s through learning to fear the Lord that you and I will stop sinning, it’s the only way we will treat each other right, it’s the only way we will change our lifestyle to be pleasing to God. Without the fear of God working on the inside of us, we want to do good, but we don’t. We have a desire to help others, but we won’t. The fear of God living on the inside of will make us obey, will make us share, will make us love one another. Fearing the Lord will make us sawn evil

We expect Christ to forgive us, but not to change us. We want Christ to bless us, but not to change the desires of our heart. We need to be made over, to become a new creation, old things must pass away; we must be born again. All things must be made new, including us.

It does not matter what binds us, whether its anger, jealous, rage, bitterness, un-forgiveness, adultery, immoral sexuality, greed, feeling unloved, bad behavior, worldly thinking, obsession with riches, or trying to be important. We all are bound by something, and we need to be set free. The Father is offering us a way to be free, we must accept Christ Jesus and be led by the Spirit so each one of us can be set free from it all. It’s a journey with Christ, so every wall in our lives come down, and every chain is truly broken.

Making Godly Decisions

cecilbarry — Sun, 11 Jun 2017 17:36:30 -0500

Making Godly Decision – This teaching challenges us to bring our decision making and planning under the control of the Lord. Too many times we make decisions and plans without the Lord, and we pray expecting for God to bless our decisions. But how can we expect God to be on our side, when we don’t include him when there is a decision to be made? Who knows better God or us? God wants to be Lord over our lives including our decision and planning. So many of us suffer as a Christian because of this very reason, excluding God from our decision making. We can’t make decision without God, and expect God to move in our lives. We have to seek God first in everything we do, which includes all the decisions and plans we make. We have to allow God to be part of our thinking through prayer, so our decisions are godly decisions which are blessed by God

Too many times we develop wrong or false expectations of each other and of God. Then when we are disappointed, when things don’t go our way, or turn out in our favor we forget about God. But if we develop godly expectations built solely on God, then what we seek will come to pass, because our expectations are godly.

When we don’t want to be accountable anymore, we just disconnected from that which is holding us accountable. While it’s true, we can disconnect from Christ Jesus, what is not true is that we won’t be held accountable. Once you and I accept Christ, everything from that point is recorded, written down. God plans to bring everything we have done, and everything we have spoken in Christ into our remembrance, good or bad, on the day we stand before the Lord for judgement

It’s also about choosing how we will react, how we choose to respond to life’s situation and circumstances given we have chosen to follow Jesus. We must choose who we will serve day and night, every second of the day. We must choose how we will respond when life does not go our way. Will we choose to respond like Jesus or like this world?

Even those who have been in ministry for a long time still needs to be listening to God. We are living in an environment where everything we see, hear, desire, and do has a way for turning us away from listening to God. We are not listening to His Word, to His Son, nor to His Spirit. Yes we go to church, yes we hear the message, and yes we sometimes read God’s Word. But we are listening and apply what we hear to our lives. Therefore it is impacting how much God listens and answers us when we call on his name.

By Faith– is a teaching about encouraging us to not only learn how to walk by faith, but for us to increase and grow our faith, for it is by faith that you and I will be blessed by God. We can pray, we can pay offering, we can seek a religious person to help us, but if there is no faith, then there is nothing in us by which God can work in our lives. By faith you and I are healed, by faith we are allowed into the presence of God, by faith we have been saved, by faith our prayers will be answered, and it’s by faith we will enter into the kingdom of God

My Shield And Rock – is a teaching about understanding where our protection really comes from. We work hard to put things in place to protect us and our families. But there are many things in life that either we won’t have enough money, or the trouble is bigger than any amount of money we could ever have. It’s only then we decide to seek the Lord. But God wants to be our shield and our rock, in all conditions, in all situations, and at all times. Many of our troubles could be avoided if we allow the Lord to always be our protections, to always be our shield, and to always be the rock in which we always stand.

Seek And You WIll Find

cecilbarry — Tue, 25 Oct 2016 09:04:27 -0500

• Seek And You Will Find – Once it is put upon our heart to come to Jesus, we begin our journey of seeking God. Unfortunately, some of us start to seek God in a way where we will never find him. Instead of seeking God through his Word, Son, and Spirit we seek God through the world, entertainment, music, and dance. Therefore we are unable to enter into God’s presence as he would want us to do. We must seek the Lord in his prescribed way so we can find our way to his throne. If we can find God, we will be healed, we will be blessed, and we will be guided into God’s presence.

Only God Can

cecilbarry — Sun, 09 Oct 2016 19:36:56 -0500

· Only God Can – In almost all situations, we like to think a lot about ourselves and our abilities. That is just the way life has taught us to think, its only when we have lived for a while that we start to see that there are many things that are well beyond our abilities and intelligent to comprehend and resolve. Only then, do we come to an understanding that only God the Father and our Lord Christ Jesus can do all things. It’s only then that we look beyond ourselves so we are able to preserve God and who he is, and what he can do. Because only God Can!

Beleive and Trust

cecilbarry — Mon, 26 Sep 2016 12:08:14 -0500

· Believe and Trust – Since the time we come of age, we have been taught to believe and trust in many things, including ourselves. Many of us have spent hours in church listening to what we should believe and trust in to save our soul. So our faith in God the Father and our Lord Christ Jesus is based on what others have taught us to believe and trust in. But for us to ensure our faith and our beliefs are in-line with God’s Word, His Son, and His Spirit, we have to allow the Holy Spirit to examine what we believe and trust in. Many of us may have some wrong understandings about some things of God, therefore what we believe [...]

· No Turning Back – is a teaching about us accepting Christ Jesus as our master and Lord, accepting our part in doing God’s Will, and never turning back. We can’t allow the things of this world to turn us around, we can’t allow sickness to turn us away, and we can’t allow life’s disappointments to turn us back to this world, back to sin.We have come too far to turn around now, we can’t go back to our old ways. The Lord has called us to put our hands on the plow and do his work, if we look back, we will become unfit to serve in the kingdom of God. We must move forward, every day is a new day to take [...]

· Power Of Revelations – is a teaching about how we can be in Christ Jesus and still be enlighten through revelations so we can understand God’s plan for our lives and the lives of others. We have to be careful during these last days, as the Word of God has already revealed, mankind will be speaking of revelations even though God has not sent them into the world. They will not be revealing the things of Christ, but they will reveal that which glorifies themselves and their motives. We know Christ will only speak revelations he received from the Father’s so we can receive, many be touched, and God’s Will b [...]

Blessings In Giving

cecilbarry — Mon, 29 Aug 2016 07:47:26 -0500

· Blessings InGiving – is a teaching about learning to be givers. Almost every day we send up prayers to God asking him to bless us in one way or another. When blessings don’t come, we cry out to God why? When blessings docome, instead of us doing what the Word of God teaches us to do, which is to give and share, we spend what we get on ourselves and pleasure. We don’t understand that inside of every blessing that the Lord give us there is a teaching about sharing and giving, but we don’t receive the teaching. God wants you and I to be givers, so that his blessings will touch the lives of many.

Being Misled

cecilbarry — Sun, 21 Aug 2016 17:56:38 -0500

· Being Misled – is a teaching about how we are being misled, and how sometimes we allow ourselves to be misled. We are living in a time that the Word of God prophesied about. A time when evil and sin will prevail upon the earth, and mislead many. We are living in a time the Word of God calls itching ear preaching, drawing many to chase after the world. We need to wake up and examine what we believe, those who are teaching us, and those we are following, so we are not lead astray. We don’t want to stand before Christ, and he tells us nothing we believed in came from what the Father spoke, or he revealed.

cecilbarry — Sun, 07 Aug 2016 18:09:33 -0500

· God’s Love – is ateaching about the difference between God’s kind of love, and the world’s kindof love. On the outside it may seem that they are the same, but it’s only whenwe start getting involved, when we allow others to demonstrate their kind oflove, and we demonstrate our kind of love that we start to see the difference.The world’s kind of love is filled with selfishness, greed, it’s boastful,pride, and ignorant. When the world’s kind of love is done, it leaves behind alot of pain, hurt, disappointment, and anger. God’s Love is peaceful, built ontrust, it protects, it endures, it overcomes, it forgivin [...]

Have We Not Heard

cecilbarry — Sun, 31 Jul 2016 18:14:06 -0500

· Have We Not Heard – most of us were raised going to church, and being taught a particular type of religious doctrine. But Christ is asking us have we not heard the Word of God for ourselves, have we not heard what he spoke and revealed that came from the Father? Have we not heard what God says about our lifestyle, have we not heard how God feels about us rejecting his Word? Have we not heard what God says about us living in sin? What you and I are going to be judged on, is what the Lord has spoken and revealed. We won’t have any excuses, we won’t be able to say we have not heard the Lord. [...]

God the Father wants us to have a Holy and personal relationship with him through his Son Christ Jesus. We can’t develop a false relationship with God, based on lies, fear, immorality, lust, or deception and think that it will stand. We have to want a true and real relationship with God through Christ.

cecilbarry — Sun, 10 Jul 2016 19:45:13 -0500

· The Fight Within – is a teaching about how we spend most of our time fighting with the Lord about how we should live our lives upright before him. We don’t like the way God is requiring for us to live and walk before him. When we are not fighting with the Lord, we are fighting against all that is in us that goes against the Will of God. We love worldly pleasure, we like lust driving our desires, we like to chase after money, so we can hoard it. There is so much fighting within us, no wonder we are in the shape we are in. But Christ has taken on our battles, and the Holy Spirit that is within us is warring against our sin [...]

Our hope has to become steadfast in Christ, so we achieve our full measure in Christ.

Order My Steps

cecilbarry — Sun, 19 Jun 2016 19:52:14 -0500

· Order My Steps – We heard the call from the Lord to come, so we came, but we did not come to surrender all. When we came to Jesus, we came with all our plans and dreams in tack. We came hoping and expecting for the Lord to fulfill our plans and dreams, when he did not, we struggled as a Christian. The call was never about our plans and dreams, it’s all about God’s plan for our lives. The Lord called us, so he can order our steps through his Word and Spirit. We have to give the Lord control over our lives. No one knows better how to order our steps in life than Chr [...]

Seeking God

cecilbarry — Sun, 12 Jun 2016 17:47:05 -0500

· Seeking God – We try to seek God from so many different angles. We try to seek God through this world,we try to seek God through theology, and we also use God’s Word. We try to combine these ways of seeking God, hoping we will find the Lord. But Christ isnot of the world, and Christ is not found in human knowledge. The only place we can look and truly find God is through his Word and Son Christ Jesus. All other ways will not lead us to the throne of God. As the scriptures teaches, we will have a sense of God, but we will not know God.

The Enemy

· The Enemy - is a teaching about how we need the Lord’s help in identifying the enemy. Just because someone has done us wrong, or we feel like someone is attacking us does not mean that they are our enemy. Sometimes we label someone as an enemy, but later on they become our best friend. Sometimes we label someone as a friend, but they become our worst enemy. We need the Spirit of the Lord to help us discern who the real enemy is, who is doing the devil’s work, so we can take it to the Lord and he can fight the battle.

· Leaning on God – is a teaching about looking at who we really depend on. Many times we think are leaning on God because we attend church every week. But there is a big difference between having all our faith in God, and having faith in ourselves while we believe in God. We must learn to lean on Jesus every hour of the day and night, he is the only reliable source we can lean on. All others will fail us. We can’t lean on ourselves, we can’t leave on others, and we can’t lean on things, we can only lean on Jesus.

Yes, when we came to Christ Jesus and accepted the Lord, all our past sins were forgiven. The problem is, Satan knows all about our past, and he uses our past to keep us chained to our past, so we cannot faithfully and through holiness serve the Lord. We have to get unchained from our past, so we can be made new in Christ Jesus.

Come As You Are

cecilbarry — Sun, 01 May 2016 20:39:24 -0500

· Come As You Are – is a teaching about us remembering how we came to Jesus. Many times we get a little lost, we get caught up in religion and forget who called us to come. We start believing that we came saved to the Lord, and we forget that the Lord called us just as we are. Through God’s grace and mercy we have been saved. We came with all our sickness, all our addiction, all our troubles, all our pain, and the Lord changed us. We came as we are and the Lord transformed our mind, body, and soul. All Christ wants from us, is for us to come as we are, without any religious traditions, and the Spirit of the Lord will teach [...]

Though weare a Christian, when we are in need, we not only pray to God, but we also turnto the world, and those in the world. After we come out of our situations and circumstances,we turn away from God, and away from those in need. We have forgotten whobrought us out, and lifted us up when no one else cared.

· Being Made New – When we first came to know of God, we were introduced to the Lord through religious teaching and doctrine. Unfortunately, our religion did not set us free, or change anything about us. Just as the Lord offered the Pharisees and the Sadducees a new beginning, a fresh start, the Lord is offering us a way to be made new through him. We cannot reject the Lord’s calling as the Pharisees and Sadducees did in keeping with their religious traditions. We need to be made new in Christ, in the attitudes of our mind and heart.
