His Life, Now! With David Hughes

How we gaze into the scriptures has a bearing on what we will see. If we look into the bible for just information in an academic approach it becomes a mere text book or rule book. But if we look into the bible for a living, relational encounter with Jesus then it becomes a living […]

Times of solitude and silence were a part of Jesus’ walk on the earth. Jesus would often pull away to a secluded place to pray and commune with His heavenly Father.  Making time for these moments in our own walk with the Lord is so important for us also. It is not something we do […]

When it comes to our heavenly Father, what is His heart towards us, how does He deal with us … what is the Father’s way? John 3:16 gives us a glimpse into our heavenly Father’s heart – “For God so loved …” Love! That is the Father’s heart towards us and how He deals with […]

The Word of God is full of living memorials – that which puts us in remembrance.  The Lord Himself, His name, His works, His goodness, His deliverance … these are some of the living memorials given.  Memorials set out hearts and eyes on Jesus and are for us NOW and for the GENERATIONS TO COME!  […]

We never leave our seat at the table of the Lord, yet at the same time we are called to be servants to the world around us.  We are called to serve one another through love – not through guilt, condemnation, obligation, manipulation … but through love!  Jesus said that He did not come to […]

When we come to the table of the Lord we find that His goodness and grace are even greater than what we where told.  We can learn from the example of the queen of Sheba who heard a report about Solomon and doubted that it was even true, but after coming and seeing the truth […]

Lee Thompson shares a fresh look at Psalm 23 as a reflection of the new creation life we are given in Christ.  Many know this famous Psalm, but do we intimately know the Shepard? – that is the powerful invitation before us all!  True relationship and intimacy with the Lord brings us to a life […]

We continue our look at what is on the table of the Lord from Psalm 103, which says to, “Bless the Lord O my soul and all that is within me bless His holy name … and forget not ALL of His benefits.”  He redeems our life from the pit, crowns us with lovingkindness and […]

The table of the Lord is full of all that we need. Psalm 103 says to, “Bless the Lord O my soul and all that is within me bless His holy name … and forget not ALL of His benefits.”  He forgives ALL our iniquities and heals ALL our diseases – so forgiveness and healing […]

The Body of Christ is multi-generational and functions and is held together in love!  We are truly equipped in the body of Christ for the life He has called us to live – it’s HIS LIFE!  The older generations still have great riches in Christ to deposit into the younger generations because the love of […]

The word of the cross (the narrative … the story … the message) is the power of God!  The death, burial and resurrection of Jesus is literally three days and three nights that changed the world.  We are not just meant to be spectators of this redemptive work, but through faith in Jesus we are […]

The two disciples that encountered Jesus on the road to Emmaus on the morning of His resurrection had their eyes opened to who He really was when they sat with Him at the table and He began to break the bread.  So too will we have the eyes of our understanding opened to see Jesus […]

What God accomplished in Christ through redemption was not only a finished work, but a furnished work!  He has prepared a table before us in the presence of our enemies.  And His table for us is a place of rest, it is a place of complete supply and it is a place of security and […]

We have been qualified by grace, but how do we come to the table?  It’s simply by faith – trust in Jesus!  That is the work of the new covenant … faith.  It’s not by our works that we achieve or maintain a place at the table of the Lord and it’s not by our […]

Are you hungry and thirsty?  Isaiah 55 invites everyone who is thirsty and hungry to COME!  We don’t bring anything and we don’t pay for this meal, because it is served by Jesus at the table of grace!  Listen to the Lord’s word, eat what is good and delight yourself in abundance – you have […]

We can find ourselves in the story of Mephibosheth … he was born under the shadow of the house of Saul, lame in both feet, living in Lo-Debar (which means without pasture) which was on the wilderness side of the Jordan river and he viewed himself as worthless.  But David called him to come to […]

Our Heavenly Father is throwing a party and He has given a personal invitation to each one of us to come to His table and celebrate with Him.  He has invited the poor, the crippled, the lame and the blind – no one is left out!  We will delve into questions such as… Why have […]

The writer of Psalm 42 says, “Why so downcast, oh my soul … put your hope in God!”  Those times we find out hearts heavy, burdened and discouraged we need to realize we are not without hope and we are not abandoned.  The Lord will command His lovingkindness in the daytime and His song will […]

Without God’s love, nothing else truly matters.  When we learn more and more how to live loved it changes everything.  How we see the Lord, how we see others and how we see ourselves is drastically changed when seen through the eyes of love.  Faith works by love and without love we don’t have any […]

This is a very timely word from Dr. Lynn Hiles encouraging us to “tear off the roof” in a world of limitations to experience a life that flows from rest in Christ and to “shut the door” on all that would try to keep us from experiencing all that Jesus has provided through redemption.  Remember, […]
