The Extraordinary Believer, Part 1 (2021)

An extraordinary believer goes above and beyond. He or she can motivate and encourage others in the faith. Not being preoccupied with circumstances, focusing on the divine solution, not the problem, is a trait. Thinking with Biblical wisdom, the divine viewpoint is a trait. “Let this mind be in you that was also in Christ Jesus” (Phil 2:5). Extraordinary believers have objective optimism, a personal sense of destiny, and understand essential doctrines. When you absorb, metabolize, and utilize the Word of God—which is your mission—you can move from ordinary to extraordinary. That’s when you can be used by God. “How blessed is the man that finds wisdom and the man who gains understanding. For her profit [wisdom] is more precious than jewels and nothing you desire can compare with her” (Prov 3:13).Click for Full Transcript: https://rhem.pub/extraordinary-believer-818a1

The Public Lie and Forgiveness (2021)

A public lie seeks to minimize or neutralize the impact of a person. Told often enough, loud enough, long enough and people believe it. People are manipulated by public lies. “Do not be deceived, God will not be mocked. Whatever a man sows, that he is going to reap” (Gal 6:7). “With his mouth, the godless person will destroy his neighbor, but through knowledge, the righteous will be rescued” (Prov 11:9). How do you respond if you’re the subject of a lie? With forgiveness, as mandated by Christ (Eph 4:32). Half forgiveness is not genuine forgiveness, it’s just half forgiveness.Click for Full Transcript: https://rhem.pub/public-lie-760b2

Sin and Righteousness (2021)

"Righteousness exalts a nation but sin is a disgrace to any people” (Prov 14:34). Imputed righteousness is the righteousness given to us the moment we receive Christ as our Savior. This is the only way we can approach God. To survive as a country we must have righteous people. Christians who: Have the imputed righteousness of Christ;  are under the filling of the Holy Spirit and the ministry of a well-qualified pastor, and manufacture righteousness that is rewardable at the judgment seat of Christ. This is the stability of a nation. A big problem in our nation is the sin of Christians who aren’t growing spiritually. “Grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ” is a mandate.Click for Full Transcript: https://rhem.pub/sin-righteousness-aaeba

God's Power (2021)

God is omnipotent—all-powerful. You can tap into this power. The power to overcome any adversity “I can do all things through Jesus Christ who gives me the strength” (Phil 4:13). You have access to God’s unlimited resources. Use them by gaining wisdom and insight through the knowledge of Jesus Christ. “That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him” (Eph 1:17). The mature believer with a divine viewpoint can soar over the circumstances of life. “He gives power to the faint and to him who has no might, He gives him increased strength” (Is 40:29). “Nothing is impossible with God” (Luke 1:37). Fear neutralizes the power of God. Fear is you assuming unassigned responsibilities.Click for Full Transcript: https://rhem.pub/gods-power-75984
