THE POWER OF GOD’S WORD: Part 4 – Nourishment for the New Man
Series: The Power of God's Word
P A R T 4 :
N O U R I S H M E N T F O R T H E N E W M A N
Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God. - Matthew 4:4
It is the power that is in God's word that brings about our new birth in Christ. But that "new creation" man requires a different kind of food than the "natural" man. That food is the milk, the bread, and the meat of the Word of God! We hope you can be with us this weekend as Pastor Ray continues our series study on "The Power of God's Word" and how essential it is to our growth and development in the journey of faith.

The Jews of Jesus' day did not mind Jesus healing the paralytic but were offended when Jesus forgave his sins. Today we have opposite problem. The Church is comfortable with our message that Jesus forgives all our sins but gets uncomfortable if we say that Jesus heals all our sicknesses. Yet the obvious answer to Jesus' rhetorical question in Matthew 9:5 is it's just as easy for Him to heal His people as it was to save them!

The Jews of Jesus' day did not mind Jesus healing the paralytic but were offended when Jesus forgave his sins. Today we have opposite problem. The Church is comfortable with our message that Jesus forgives all our sins but gets uncomfortable if we say that Jesus heals all our sicknesses. Yet the obvious answer to Jesus' rhetorical question in Matthew 9:5 is it's just as easy for Him to heal His people as it was to save them!

Our warfare is spiritual and spiritual war requires spiritual weapons! But sadly, many of God's people know little or nothing about their spiritual weapons or how to use them.

Train up a child in the way that he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it. - Proverbs 22:6The near total abandonment of God and a radical commitment to the secular worldview in the institutions of American public education has brought our nation to the brink of anarchy and cultural collapse. Our only hope is that God will awaken the parents and grandparents of this generation to repent and return to the biblical mandate to take responsibility for the education of the next generation.
