Isaiah 1-3; 2:13
Isaiah is not a historical textbook written in chronological order. Rather it starts off with a Lawsuit, in which God is taking Judah to court, in order to 'sue' them for breach of His covenant. He is the prosecuting Lawyer and "Boy, does he have a strong case..."
June 19, 2022
Isaiah 6; Num. 22-24; Deut. 23:4-5
There is something about one's call that defines a person. Isaiah is shown a spectacular vision, and then volunteers to be "God's man". He would take on the 'office' of a prophet. This would be a very hard, very frustrating, ministry.
June 12, 2022

Jn. 8:32, 16:13, 14:6; Heb. 4:12-13

2 Sam 12; 1 Thess. 5:22; Rom. 12:17; Prov. 14:16

Romans 12:1-3; Gen 50:2; Rom. 8:5-9; Php. 1:12-14; Prov. 23:7; Prov. 3:5-6; Eph. 3:19-20
"Take hold of every thought" - but, once we have it, what are we supposed to do with it? The goal is to replace the lie with God's truth. When it comes to painful events, the goal is to discover God's presence and purpose in that event. Come see how God can 'change your mind'.
March 6, 2022
2 Cor. 10:3-6; 2 Tim. 2:25-26; Jn. 8:32; Php. 4:13
All of us have a war going on in our minds. The enemy is constantly planting lies and distorted thoughts until we don't know what to believe. How do we stop these thoughts from spinning out of control? How does one take a 'thought captive' and make it obedient to Jesus Christ?

February 13, 2022
Matt. 4:1-11; Eph. 1:19-20; Heb. 4:12; Jer. 17:9; Prov. 21:22
To the critic it seems insignificant - "It's just a word... or just a belief!" But the reality is that 'a lie' will be reinforced, strengthened and fortified, until it has become a dominating 'stronghold' and you are its prisoner.
February 6, 2022
Psalm 23:5; 2 Cor. 2:11; 2 Tim. 2:25-26; Jn. 8:10, 10:10; 1 Thess. 2:18; 1 Pet. 5:8
Satan does not wait to be invited into your life. Rather, he walks through its unlocked doors, and without bothering to be asked, sits right down at your table and starts talking. That is, if you let him...!

Romans 1-2; Eph. 4:19; Col. 1:21; 2 Cor. 4:4; Col. 2:8; Dan. 4
Scripture says we were born into a spiritually dark world, filled with 'depraved thinking'. We were blind to God's glorious presence, unable to comprehend His magnificent truths. We need His illumination in our minds!
January 23, 2022
Romans 7:14-25; Rom. 8:5; Eph. 6:12; Prov. 14:12
Where does Satan attack you? In your 'flesh'; with its appetites, lusts and desires?
Or in your 'world', as you touch, see and crave things?
No... Satan starts by attacking you at a pivotal place - in your mind!
January 16, 2022
Genesis 3; 2 Cor. 11:3; Jn 8:44
It was the first battle to take place between mankind and Satan. Satan brought his 'A' game to the conflict. Eve didn't even see it coming - until it was too late. The devastation it caused is astronomical.
