“Between Two Sisters” Sunday, 06 September 2026 10 a.m.

We have begun a new series entitled: “The Inner Ear of the Spirit.” It's vitally important to be able to “hear” – and, in a spiritual sense it means more than just to listen.

I want to move to a story that illustrates that this morning- it's a story of two sisters. It's the first time that Jesus has stayed at this place- these people will become his friends- Two sisters and a brother named Martha, Mary and Lazarus.

Luke 10: 38 Now it happened as they went that He entered a certain village; and a certain woman named Martha welcomed Him into her house. 39 And she had a sister called Mary, who also sat at Jesus’ feet and heard His word. 40 But Martha was distracted with much serving, and she approached Him and said, “Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Therefore tell her to help me.”

Martha welcomed Jesus into her home -but would she welcome Him into her heart? Or would she be too preoccupied with issues that seemed to be more important. She was hospitable, she enjoyed entertaining, putting on a meal. But does she have a spirit that enjoys intimacy with Jesus; would she enjoy just sitting and listening to Him and hearing what He had to say?

The Bible says that Mary, the other sister, sat at Jesus' feet - it seems in this story that something had come between the two sisters. And the thing that came between them was the person of Jesus. Because one was preoccupied with much busyness and the other was attentive to listening to Him.

Jesus, by this time has heard enough of Martha’s self pity and complaining - His response is classic:
Luke 10:41 And Jesus answered and said to her, “Martha, Martha, you are worried and troubled about many things. 42 But one thing is needed, and Mary has chosen that good part, which will not be taken away from her.”

It's a word of correction but it's couched; it's enveloped in concern and love and tenderness. Jesus offers the truth in love - He tells her about herself - “you’re worried and anxious Martha.” Jesus says only “one thing is needed” - this is a necessity - time spent listening at My feet - there is no higher calling.

“Afraid to be Played” Sunday, 30 August 2026 10 a.m.

We're starting a new series today entitled: “The Inner Ear of the Spirit.” It's vitally important to be able to hear – and, in a spiritual sense means more than just to listen.

You can listen every Sunday to the word of God at church and never really “hear”- it reminds me of an old song from the 60s “Everybody's Talking at Me.” “But I can't hear a word they're saying only the echoes of my mind.”

When you hear spiritually, you’re listening to that still small voice of the Holy Spirit, you receive it by faith - faith comes from hearing and hearing by the Word of God. You receive it into your heart, into your mind and soul and you not only acknowledge it but you accept it - you say “yes and amen!”

Jesus spoke to those who refused to hear the word. They may have listened to the word but in their heart, they refused it, and it could not be received. Jesus uses an illustration of kids playing – children at that time would play in the marketplace - but some would sit on the sidelines and say: ” I'm not playing - you can take your stupid game I'm going to play…” - and they would sit out and pout by themselves.

Luke 7:31 And the Lord said, “To what then shall I liken the men of this generation, and what are they like? 32 They are like children sitting in the marketplace and calling to one another, saying: We played the flute for you, and you did not dance; We mourned to you, and you did not weep.’

Jesus’ illustration is about people hearing the message and not receiving it. Hearing it - but not responding to it. We played the flute you didn't dance; we told jokes you wouldn't laugh…. Or we played a sad song – and you were not moved - you were “afraid to be played” - your heart was totally unresponsive.

They say in their heart - no one's going to manipulate me, or use me – they’re afraid to be played. They hear the flute play - the promise of blessing or hope of eternity message - and they say, all they want is my money…they hear the “dirge” that's the funeral march – the “hell fire and brimstone” message and they say that pastor just wants to scare me into a response.

But Jesus says that “hearing, receiving the Word, acting in faith and coming to a place of repentance and following Jesus is an act of wisdom. The wise hear the message and accept it with all of their heart, the wise respond with repentance and faith knowing that there is no other way to be saved - salvation doesn't come by any other - except through Jesus.

“Only One Life” Sunday, 23 August 2026 10 a.m.

We've been doing this “All In” series - meaning we have surrendered all to Jesus and are following Him – I remember as a kid that we had this plaque hanging in our home and it said “Only One life will soon be passed, only What's Done for Christ will last.”

I was aware of the first part of that saying, that one life is all you get and it's going to be over someday, but I wasn't really aware that the second part, “Only What’s Done for Christ Will Last” …I didn’t really know what that meant.

We live in the world that says: “you’ve only got one life; you need to live it to the full” … but Jesus says: “you’ve only got One life - you need to follow Me!” This is the conundrum - even for Christians…. this is the rub; this is the contradiction. We want to surrender all - we want to give our lives unreservedly, but we've only got One Life and we want to live that life to our satisfaction and priorities.

Nothing really has changed in 2000 years, because when Jesus was on the earth he laid out the conditions for following Him for being an effective follower of Christ.

Luke 9 :23 Then He said to them all, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me.

Jesus says that you need to deny yourself; that is to put aside your own agenda and your own interests – and that you need to take up your cross daily - that is die to self and then …follow Jesus. Jesus says you've only got One life; it'll soon be passed - so let Me have it - give it to Me, follow Me. …. because the things that pertain to Him are the things that are eternal.

“Burn the Ships” Sunday, 16 August 2026 10 a.m.

We've been doing this “All In” series -meaning we have surrendered all to Jesus and are following Him - the early disciples were great examples of this; they had jobs, they had families; yet they surrendered everything in order to follow Christ. They “burned the ships’- so to speak.

What caused them to do that? Did they bump their head? Did they lose their minds?

Peter heard Jesus calling him - he was a small-town fisherman from Capernaum who became a great apostle known around the world. How did that happen? It happened with the decision to “burn the ships” and leave it all behind. Jesus first encounters Peter (Simon) as he was cleaning his nets after an unsuccessful fishing trip.

Luke 5:4 When He (Jesus) had stopped speaking, He said to Simon, “Launch out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.” 5 But Simon answered and said to Him, “Master, we have toiled all night and caught nothing; nevertheless, at Your word I will let down the net.”

Jesus has a word specifically for Simon Peter - Peter hears this Word from Jesus - and he’s doubtful but he says “at your Word, Jesus, I will let down the net!” When you hear that Word in your spirit; it may cause you to do something that is uncommon and unnatural. Peter wasn’t a daytime fisherman - he knew that fish don't move in schools of shallow water during daytime hours - but according to the Word from Jesus, he does something that is uncommon.

In receiving the Word, you must believe the Word, and then act on the Word - faith without actions is dead faith. Nevertheless, at your Word, I will… this is the proper response - to move in faith…to receive the word into your heart, to respond in faith and to obey. It leads to a revelation - it may not be miraculous like getting a boat load of fish, but God will reveal His will to you through circumstances, situations, through His Word or even through an inner voice that can only be God.

And on receiving this revelation from Jesus - Peter, his brother Andrew, and John and James... gave it all up - Peter left his household, his way of life, he left his boats at the dock. He “burned the ships” so to speak. Peter surrendered all for the sake of following Jesus and doing what He wanted him to do.

“The End Game” Sunday, 26 July 2026 10 a.m.

We have been talking in our series about being “All In” in our relationship with the Lord, that it involves spiritual warfare. We often speak about our spiritual fight as being three-fold in nature: the influences of the world; the flesh which desires to be gratified; and the devil who is intent on destroying us… these are the three big giants.

Last week we talked about David being the giant slayer - there are giants in the land - the devil and his minions are intent on derailing you and destroying you. We talked about David's defense against the enemy: his staff, 5 smooth Stones, his shepherd's bag and his sling.

Today I want to break down the demonic strategy that has been against you as a child of God since the time that you were born. I was reading through for 1 Samuel 17, looking specifically at Goliath as a type of the devil. What is his strategy in his efforts to bring David down?

1 Samuel 17: 41 So the Philistine came, and began drawing near to David, and the man who bore the shield went before him. 42 And when the Philistine looked about and saw David, he disdained him; for he was only a youth, ruddy and good-looking. 43 So the Philistine said to David, “Am I a dog, that you come to me with sticks?” And the Philistine cursed David by his gods. 44 And the Philistine said to David, “Come to me, and I will give your flesh to the birds of the air and the beasts of the field!” 45 Then David said to the Philistine, “You come to me with a sword, with a spear, and with a javelin. But I come to you in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied.”

The enemy wants to get near you, he treats believers with disdain; he is intent on destruction – but what he desires to do in his defiance of our Lord, is for you as a believer to deny the Name of Jesus…this is his “end game” - because the name of Jesus is the Name through which we obtain salvation and deliverance and healing.

The antidote of how we can have victory over the enemy’s end game is - Use the Name, Believe the Name, Take the Name and Speak the Name of Jesus.

“Facing the Giants” Sunday, 19 July 2026 10 a.m.

We have been talking in our series about being “All In” in our relationship with the Lord, that it involves spiritual warfare. We often speak about our spiritual fight as being three-fold in nature: the influences of the world; the flesh which desires to be gratified; and the devil who is intent on destroying us… these are the three big giants.

The story of David is an interesting one – he’s a shepherd boy who defeats the giant Goliath and a decade later he’s the king of Israel. So, by the time David is a teenager, he's preparing to walk on the battlefield to face the giant. How does this all happen?

David's father sends him to deliver bread to the brothers and cheese to the army. While he is there on this delivery trip, he hears this giant bellowing from down in the valley - he's speaking curses against God. The men of Israel are intimidated by this brute. But David realizes something, this giant is not only a reproach to Israel - but he is defying the living God.

1 Samuel 17:26 Then David spoke to the men who stood by him, saying, “What shall be done for the man who kills this Philistine and takes away the reproach from Israel? For who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God?”

So, David appears before King Saul and volunteers to go out against the giant. And Saul attempts to clothe David with his own armor. But David realizes that he can’t go with that - it was a fleshly attempt to do spiritual battle… and that leads us to this pivotal verse.

1 Samuel 17:40 Then he took his staff in his hand; and he chose for himself five smooth stones from the brook, and put them in a shepherd’s bag, in a pouch which he had, and his sling was in his hand. And he drew near to the Philistine.

David selected 5 smooth stones; these stones could stand for:
A pure heart
A sincere faith
The mind of the Lord
A willing spirit
A walk in the Word

The victories that we see accomplished over the enemy are through our faith in a big God, our intimate knowledge of the Word of God and the power we receive through the Holy Spirit.

“Blue Pill or Red Pill?” Sunday, 12 July 2026 10 a.m.

We have been talking in our series about being “All In” in our relationship with the Lord, that it means being “all done “living by our flesh; we may have had strongholds in our flesh i.e. anger, rage, rejection, religion, control but they are gone because we have dealt with the root.

One of the strongholds that the Bible speaks about is “bitterness” and it is identified as a root - it bears fruit of rebellion against God and other sins of the flesh. It leads to a disrespect of the sacred and bears the fruit of sexual immorality. Bitterness is a powerful root of a demonic stronghold that has the potential to defile our spirit.

There is an idiom or a saying that we use - “a bitter pill to swallow.” It means that a circumstances have happened in our lives that are hard for us to accept - it's a harsh reality. (death, divorce, loss of job, illness) The reality of this in the life of a believer, is that God is using them as opportunities to bring “discipline” into our lives - discipline means instruction and training. To accept discipline is a necessary part of the life of the student, but you may see it as something else - as a “bitter pill to swallow”.

So in the words of Morpheus talking to Neo in The Matrix: “you can take the blue pill or the red pill.” In the context of what we're talking about this morning the blue pill means that you can get bitter about the circumstances of life and go through life in frustration and anger and discouragement.

Or you can take the red pill - which means that you see the events that happen in your life as God wanting to refine you and to discipline you in order for you to achieve all that He has for you to do.

Hebrews 12: 11 Now no chastening seems to be joyful for the present, but painful; nevertheless, afterward it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it. 12 Therefore strengthen the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees, 13 and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be dislocated, but rather be healed.

“Kicking the Cactus” Sunday, 05 July 2026 10 a.m.

We have been going through this “All -In" series, talking about being fully devoted in our Christian walk to Jesus. To do that we must have Christ living within us through the power of the Holy Spirit.

We have been talking in our series about being “All In”, that it means being “all done“ living by our flesh; the fruit of our lives at one time may been fleshly i.e. anger, rage, rejection, religion, control but it is now gone because we have dealt with the root.

The Apostle Paul as we talked about last week, had to deal with some of these issues: defects of character; or spiritual strongholds: his identity, his religious life which was full of pride and self-righteous behavior.

How was God able to break through that tough, stubborn, resistant, “I'll do it my way” character of Saul- this guy's a tough nut to crack - how will God detour him off of this self-destructive road where he was “kicking the cactus?”

Acts 9: 3 As he journeyed he came near Damascus, and suddenly a light shone around him from heaven. 4 Then he fell to the ground, and heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me?” 5 And he said, “Who are You, Lord?” Then the Lord said, “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. It is hard for you to kick against the goads.”

The Lord appears to Saul on the road to Damascus and in doing so, in effect says: “ Your efforts at religiosity are an affront against Me Saul ; and your persecution of My people is a deliberate act against Me. Not only that, but your resistance and your rebellion against Me is like kicking against a goad - an ox prod - you're going to injure yourself “ Its like someone intentionally kicking a cactus with their bare feet…it will only lead to harm.

Where are you on this road to revelation? Maybe Jesus has been trying to reveal Himself; but you're too busy kicking the cactus…you are doing other things, living for yourself and it's all leading nowhere…you are just hurting yourself. Jesus has been trying to detour you; he’s been putting up the detour signs and He’s patiently asking you to lay it down and submit to Him.
