Man-Made Religion has No answers for Homosexuality

2019 Apr 28th Streaming

As we were in fellowship on the walk on the pier, brother Kurtis said “religion has no answers for homosexuality.”  So this week we will go over part of our discussion of why man-made religion has no answers for homosexuality or any other sin committed.  There is a book by brother, Norman Grubb, called “Once caught, no escape”.  Brother Grubb has gone to be with the Lord, but the title of his book reminds me of how man-religion does not provide man with God’s exit plan. Paul tells us that God has provided a way of escape for everyone.  No matter what your fear or weakness may be, His love and grace has prepared a unique answer.  And, it is not religious! Let’s talk about it…

The Conflicted and Fickle God of Man-Made Religion

2019 Apr 21th Streaming

This week in fellowship we will look at how the God of man-made religion is conflicted and fickle. Many who follow this God say their of decisions”it’s not my fault” God did it and it’s on Him!

I recently heard a back and forth discussion between the vice President and one of the democratic Presidential candidates. I was not surprised with the open dialog on each of their biblical beliefs.  Both are rooted and grounded in religion. Man-made religion.  They both deny there is a mystery to the gospel and the power of God to birth another person spiritually.  They both advanced the idea that the God each is referencing to is conflicted and fickle concerning His love and freedom of identity with man.  One of these two men deny the God given right for man to make a decisions to please man himself and not please God.    While the other  denied responsibility for exercising of him right of personal decision, but blames God’s for those decisions.  Again, both don’t understand the Spirit of God or His intent in the Bible. One other thing that was sighted by both men was that they said “I’m religious”.  Are both proclaiming the same God? If that’s the case their God sounds conflicted and fickle. Let’s talk about it…

When You Believe God Has Failed

2019 Apr 14th Streaming

The Church today is full of hopeless individuals who live day to day believing that the right attitude, prayer, change of habits or medication will heal their dead existence. They live Sunday to Sunday hoping their faith is real and that God actually cares. They leave every Sunday morning believing that there has got to be more than going back and forth between doing right and doing wrong. Like a squirrel on the interstate, our fragile identities leave us to be roadkill; just waiting for the wrong event at the right moment to lay us waste. I am not going to speak as to the why, but to the what we understand when those times happen. Those times when we cry to our Father in hurt and anger, “Do you not care, why have you forsaken me?” If you have never experienced this moment, then you have never come to the end of yourself – the end of your strength. If you have – welcome to the process of Sonship. Let’s talk about it…

Conclusion: Satan’s effect and impact on the Process of Sonship

2019 Apr 7th Streaming

Last week in fellowship we talked about Satan and his effect and impact on the process of Sonship.  And how he is not who most believers and people think he is.  While many don’t see their worship of Satan indirectly through the things of this world such as religion, politics, money, human identities and beliefs, his power of fear leaves humans helpless and in unbelief!  But the Father uses him in His process of Sonship. Satan and most believers have no clue. This week we will conclude with this message concerning his impact and effect!  So, let’s talk about it in Sunday Fellowship!
