Life In the Spirit

The Ten Commandments Part Eight

The relational principle behind the eight commandment is intimacy. God wants to have a close relationship with us and desires that we have an intimate relationship with our spouse. 

The Ten Commandments

God has commanded us not murder one another, and the spiritual principle behind the commandment is love. How do we love and forgive people who do cruel and harmful things ? How do we love our neighbor as ourselves when our neighbor is difficult to love? 

The Ten Commandments Part Six

The spiritual principle shared in the fifth commandment is honor. How do we honor people who do dishonorable things? Why does God as us to honor people in a fallen world? Honor is also connected to faith. If we learn to honor people who are in authority or where honor is due, it can help us to grow in our faith.

The Ten Commandments Part Five

The spiritual principle behind the fourth commandment is rest. God wants us to rest so that we can be fully present with Him, our spouse, and our families. If we are over worked and over stressed, we will never be fully present and enjoy life as God intended.

The Ten Commandments Part Four

God didn't give us the Ten Commandments as list of do's and don'ts that make it difficult for us to know Him. Under grace and with the help of the Holy Spirit we can fulfill the righteousness of the commandments and draw closer to God. In this message we are focusing on the spiritual principle revealed in the fourth commandment, which deals with reverence and humility.

The Ten Commandments Part Three

The Ten Commandments were given to us for the purpose of relationship. Under grace we can draw closer to God by observing the commandments which reveal His nature. In this third message of the series we are looking at the spiritual principle revealed through the second commandment.

The Ten Commandments Part Two

Jesus said that He did not come to nullify the Law, instead He came to fulfill the Law. In Christ and with the help of the Holy Spirit we can live the righteousness of the commandments under grace. In this message we look at the spiritual principle revealed to us through the first commandment. 

The Ten Commandments Part One

God did not give us the Ten Commandments as a list of "do's" and "don'ts" that make it difficult for us to know Him. The Ten Commandments are spiritual principles that help us to draw closer to God and know Him better. For everyone who is born again the Ten Commandments aren't Law they are life. The Holy Spirit who dwells in us, empowers us to live the righteousness of each principle revealed through the commandments.

Strongholds

Strongholds are established through disobedience. Strongholds must be broken and should never be tolerated in the life of a Spirit filled believer. Through Christ, the word of God and the power of the Holy Spirit, strongholds can be broken.

Signs Revisited Part Four

In the last days God is calling His church to be watchman. The Body of Christ ought to be aware of what the signs of the end are indicating. Likewise, we ought to be warning those who aren't prepared for Christ return, warning them about what the signs are indicating.
