Every man, woman, and child is called to obedience to God. We are all called to love Him and to know Him better.
The only way we can do those things is through constant and consistent time spent alone with God through prayer, reading, and studying His Word.
There are 2 ways we can come to know God. The first is through general revelation as we witness and experience the world and universe around us. The only problem with this method is that we don't and can't fully understand the sorry and sinful state that we, as human beings, live in.
The other way we come to know God is through direct revelation by His Word and through the Person of Jesus Christ. As He speaks to us through the pages of Scripture, our spirits are led to Him. As we get to know God, He gradually peels away the layers of mystery and awe that surround Him.
What is a"Divine Mentor"? A divine mentor is a person we encounter in the pages of the Bible. They are the men and women who has walked through life's struggles, sometimes loss, sometimes deep sin, and yet they somehow kept their faith in God and His Word and purposes. We need to understand "why" we need to be in God’s Word daily. Pastor Wayne Cordeiro presents ideas about why personal Bible study and reading are so important to the Christian's life. Check the Blog posts below of some of my Divine Mentors..
A look at the Book of Acts and how it provides great models and insights into how we Christians should carry out and explain our Faith. What we believe forms our worldview. We also need to understand the unbeliever’s worldview. A 13-week study follows everyone from Jesus to Peter and Paul and how they created their "apologia."
What better way to continue your walk with God than to learn how to have a regular Prayer Life? Prayer sounds easy, but it's one aspect of the entire Christian Life that many of us struggle with. Sometimes it feels like our prayers seem to just bounce off the ceiling. We don't feel like they're getting anywhere. Using Daniel's prayer in Daniel Chapter 9, we'll look at the "hows" and "whys" of Prayer that help lead us to not only a regular Prayer life but a vibrant and continual Prayer.
The Bible's Book of Joy is much more than that. Paul’s Epistle to the Philippian church is a book of lessons on Finding Joy through Christian living and interaction, sometimes even in the most difficult times. All that plus sound Christian doctrine.
The ancient Book of Job is one of my favorite books of the Bible. It is rich and beautiful in prose and poetry, but most importantly, it teems with the truths of God’s glory and grandeur and His love for man. This outline can be used as a beginning guide for personal or group study. Definitely not a be-all, end-all, but it's a good start.
As believers, we are duty-bound to understand the Doctrines and theology of our Faith to provide reasons of What and why we believe
What a Christian believes is paramount in his or her understanding of their personal relationship with God. A 10-week study looking at the doctrines of God (the Trinity), Jesus Christ, Salvation, and Grace. Book and Study Guid coming Spring 2027.
It is by God's Grace alone that we are saved. It is by Grace that God "operates" His universe. A 10-week study of what I have considered the 7 basic attributes of Grace. Partially based upon Philip Yancey's book "What's So Amazing About Grace?" Attributes of Grace Study coming soon Winter 2027.
Without Easter and the Resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, there can be no Christian faith. The focus of the Lenten season is upon Jesus and His Passion as He suffered and died for our sins. But what about the other members of the Holy Trinity? What was their role? We take a 10-week look at the God-head and their roles in the Passion. See below in the blog posts.
