Worship That Changes the Atmosphere

I was at the Influencers Conference 2012 and really liked what Benny Perez shared about John 12:1-3 Six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus lived, whom Jesus had raised from the dead. Here a dinner was given in Jesus’ honor. Martha served, while Lazarus was among those reclining at the table with […]

Being a Son, Not a Son-in-Law

I was at church yesterday and the preacher was teaching about Praying with Power. She taught that one of the main keys to effective prayer is to know our identity in Christ. John 1:12 says: To all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children […]

Encountering Grace

In order to truly worship, I believe that we need to apprehend the grace of God. Now, most of us in Christian circles have some idea of “grace”. It is by faith, through grace, that we are saved. In fact, grace is probably one of the key distinctives of the Protestant movement. Yet, I believe […]
