Brand new sermon! What ARE you and I? Have you ever wondered what gives us LIFE? Or how God is involved in our breath or “spirit in man”? Or why humans are so different from animals, and why we have a mind and they don't’? Or what happens when we die? Does something leave us when we die and go back to God in heaven? This is part 1 of a 2 part that will explain so many things people have pondered over the years.

Most of you are keeping Pentecost June 9th. This is a sermon I gave last year, low-key, more conversational, but I think you’ll have plenty food for thought, even if some of you have heard it before. What 5-fold meanings of Pentecost can you come up with? What does the day picture? Is it just the receiving of God’s holy spirit? That’s more than enough, but it’s even so much more than that. When are the first fruits to rise up to meet Christ and then to on to have the wedding supper? Enjoy and let’s praise our Father and our Savior-Redeemer Yeshua on this pivotal and transitional day in God’s plan of salvation.

You probably have heard of the “7 I am statements” by the Son of God. In this sermon you will pick up some valuable insights that will help you see and grasp more of the greatness of Yeshua (Jesus). Remember “I am” is a core meaning of YHVH. Seven times Yeshua says He is “I am” (along with God the Father). Since Yeshua is and was also GOD (John 1:1-3; Hebrews 1:8, etc) with the Father, these 7 I am statements will blaze a path of praise for our Savior.

This sermon was first given in 2018 but I thought you would find it inspiring and a good reminder before Passover. Yes, put out the physical leaven before Passover. But are we AS diligent in searching out the SPIRITUAL leaven in our hearts? I refer to the more serious leaven of hidden sins, secret sins, bad habits that don’t glorify God and areas of our lives where we need to change? Is a FAST in order to help us do a deep spiritual cleansing and spiritual deleavening? In what areas of our lives do we need to make changes? Where do we need overcoming to take place? Remember to BE ready for Passover, examine ourselves and take the Passover joyfully in a worthy manner. This sermon will help you do that.

Part 2 and conclusion to a very important topic. (Please be sure to hear and study Part 1 first.) Are you willing to accept the only righteousness that will be allowed in the kingdom of God, which is GOD’S very own perfect righteousness? So our amazing God offers to credit us with the GIFT of HIS very own righteousness, which we receive by faith. This sermon chronicles HOW that happens and includes so many scriptures to back it up. This also opens the door to real JOY over his salvation instead of always knowing we’re failures at perfection. What’s the alternative if we don’t accept His GIFT? And some ask: If we’re receiving God’s own perfect righteousness – then why do we ALL still stumble in sin from time to time? I pray this message leaves you praising God more than ever before. He is so good.
