We are not to stay as baby Christians, although that's where everyone begins their Christian life. As we grow up into Christ, there will be markers along the way that indicate whether or not we're going in the right direction. And since we are all members of one another, our individual growth, or lack of it, will have a definite impact on the growth of the entire body.

There are four separate instances in the Christmas story that the angel Gabriel tells someone that they are not to fear. In today’s teaching we look at the story of Zacharias and Elizabeth and see how God hears our prayers, remembers them and ultimately answers them. If you’ve been praying and believing God for something; no matter how long it has been, don’t give up.

God is love! If we have faith in God, we have been established in love! That understanding allows us to work from love, not for love. "LOVE" is the key, 1 Corinthians 13:13 says "And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love." If we don't have love, we don't have anything! 

Godly wisdom attracts people - even those who don’t have a relationship with God, yet.  In today’s teaching, we’ll look at some of the characteristics of wisdom in Solomon’s life that drew the Queen of Sheba to Jerusalem. When we reign in life, through Christ who is the very wisdom of God, the world will recognize we carry something they need and will be drawn to it.

While social media influencers have the ability to alter the decisions of others, we have the ability to bring the influence of God’s Kingdom into the situations of life. It’s a much, much greater influence but one that hinges on our continually receiving His abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness.

When we receive the abundance of God’s grace and His gift of righteousness we reign as kings in life through Christ. The Apostle Paul says that this one truth is more certain than death. Listen to today’s message and learn how you can exercise your kingly influence over circumstances of life instead of allowing them to influence you.
