Nature teaches, history teaches, the period teaches that the firstborn should have the right to reign. And so, when they brought Esau to his father, Isaac, Isaac loved Esau, but God hated him. Put a pin right there. Why does God hate Esau? That's a [...]

The things of God that were once hidden are later revealed through Christ unto us. Okay, so when we start talking about a mystery, we're not talking about something that didn't exist, we're just talking about something that wasn't revealed. I have a [...]

He is serving without senses. He is serving, he's doing the work, but he doesn't have that sensitivity. And I'm going to back this up for a minute, 'cause I gotta do a little bit of teaching for you to get the benefit. When the Bible calls somebody [...]

We do not serve a God who is demanding us to give him things without him having first given us. I want you to get that in your spirit, "My God is a giver," "My God is a giver". If I'm going to be like God, I got to be a giver. [...]

This woman had a gift, and because she was gifted, she was making a lot of people a lot of money, and probably herself was not the recipient of the money because she was a slave. People will make your gift a slave to their ambition, make money off [...]

I want you to see that believing is the pivotal point of what defines you as a Christian, as a believer, as a person of faith, as a child of the King, and so if there's anything that the enemy wants to attack, he wants to attack what you believe. [...]

You don't get to celebrate the touch of the Master's hand because the clay is spinning so fast it doesn't even get to enjoy the touch. You know, it is the combination of the spinning and the touch that forms the vessel. The touch without the [...]

Where the men at? Holler at your boy. You hear that? Do it again, holler at your boy. That's Jacob down in there. I told you. I told you. Jacob was dying, but Israel sat up in the bed and strengthened himself. The fact, men, the fact that I have a [...]

Now they have a king, but they think like slaves. It sounds like a good preaching today. A lot of times you're preaching kingdom food, but you're talking to people with slave mentality. And when you talk to people with slave mentality, they eat the [...]

Why are the shepherds in the field and not the pasture? Why are the shepherds in the field and not in the sheepfold? It would appear that at night, as I understand it, most shepherds gather their sheep into the sheepfold and protect them in the [...]

In our text, we're listening at God challenging the lingering grief of one of the greatest prophets of the Old Testament. In our text, we're listening at God not only challenging the lingering grief of a great prophet, but he asked him how long will [...]

Jesus died for your kind of shame. Shame stops you from going after your dreams, shame stops you from living your life to the fullest. Shame equals a negative self-judgment and viewing yourself as worthless. Come to Jesus, because he still wants [...]

Oil through a lantern turns to light. Jesus spoke a lot in parables. The kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. The foolish ones took their lamps, but did not take any oil with them. He [...]

I wanna talk to some people out there who, you have potential but nobody sees it, you have gifts but nobody sees it, you have something that God has given you but nobody sees it. And you don't just not feel loved, sometimes you just downright feel [...]

The only safe place as a believer is in alignment with God. Even if I'm out of line with people, even if I don't fit in with the group, I want to be in alignment with God. Even if I'm out of alignment with my job, I wanna be in alignment with God. [...]

And how do you manage the conflict and the contradiction when bad and good live in the same house? How do you manage the conflict when the psalmist, the sweet psalmist of David, the sweet psalmist of Israel, and set up a murder, and took a man's [...]

I wanna talk to you about going around in circles because God is a God of circles and cycles. He's a God of circles, and he's a God of cycles. That's why Ezekiel called him a wheel in the middle of a wheel. Imagine that, a wheel in the middle of a [...]

There are some things that come that kill your dream that you never noticed in your life. They're not wicked or evil, in fact, I've divided them down into three categories that I think you want to jot down, three wonderful additions in your life [...]

Genesis 2:7-9 is where we first are introduced to our God and we find him playing in the dirt. He was the Potter and we were the first pot. God stepped out on nothing and said, "Let there be light," and there was light and it was good. The [...]

I had a thought this week, I will share with you. I think it is noteworthy and worth perhaps writing down or tweeting. It is amazing what God will hide from a man. When Saul woke up that morning, he didn't know his life was about to be changed. When [...]

I want to talk to some people today who are living in controversy. You got your lovers and you got your haters. You're standing in the middle of so much noise. Jesus was the only one who could be the mediator, and had he not been able to function [...]

One day, while he was out there taking care of the sheep, the Bible says that a lion crept out and snatched one of the sheep. And David said, "Not on my watch," and he took his slingshot and killed the lion without tearing the sheep. Y'all [...]

What I love about Jesus is that he was just as much God's Son in isolation as he was in consecration, as he will be an altercation. He was still the same. Whether men clapped or didn't clap, whether they were there or weren't there, whether they [...]

"The Curious Convergence of Thirst". And Jesus says to her, "Give me to drink". He introduced the thirst quencher, the thirst quencher says, "I thirst". "Give me to drink," that's what he says. He doesn't say, [...]

In the particular texts before us tonight, Samuel is not ready. He knows the order of the house, he knows how to dress the lamps, that's why the Bible says that ere the lamp of God went out in the temple, part of his responsibilities as an adjutant [...]

What I'm trying to get you to see is Isaac is all Abraham's got. It's his ticket to the promise. Isaac is to Abraham his access to everything else God has ever done in his life. He has to have an heir to possess the land. He has to have a son to [...]

This is the inaugural reign of the Holy Spirit as he sets up residence in the earth realm to rule and control. And anytime you go to an inaugural service there's gonna be a processional, so the wind comes first, and then cloven tongues of fire come [...]

There were three things that God gave Joseph in the prison that that helped him through the prison. Number one, the Bible says the Lord was with him. The Lord was with him. He gave him company in the prison. He said if you're in it, I'm in it with [...]

God defines greatness by humility. Oh, y'all lookin' at me kinda funny this morning. God defines greatness by how low can you go? God says a little child shall lead them. God says unless you become like little children, you will not inherit the [...]
