This weekend, Dr. Conway shows us how Jesus used the power of connection with the woman at the well, which led to a whole community receiving the Good News. We, The Church should do the same. Oftentimes, messy situations drive us to avoid them; but we are challenged to sit in the well with those who are far from God, and those leaving the Faith to reconstruct by showing them the grace and love ...

Many Christians are confused about spiritual gifts. Some people aren’t sure what to do with bizarre texts, while other downplay spiritual gifts altogether.
The fact is that spiritual gifts are mentioned, described, regulated, or portrayed 155 times in the New Testament. Plus, there are at least 65 verses that describe signs, miracles, or wonders in operation. Spiritual gifts are no...
Christine Caine shares a powerful message at Passion 2018 about being free from the burden of shame. "God wants us to know that we were never created to carry the burden of shame. If you don’t know what God says about you, you will believe the lies of the enemy. We need to be the generation that rises up in the truth of who God says we are."

When someone becomes a Christian, God gives them a transformed life and makes them righteous. But when they're immersed in a world full of unrighteous people, a chemical reaction of persecution will occur. Jesus said that if the world hated Him, they will also hate His followers. Are you persecuted for following Jesus Christ? If so, rejoice and be exceedingly glad because you're blessed. 🎧MP3:...
The Gospel isn't just for overtly wicked lost people; it's also for the self-righteous religious kids who grow up in Christian homes. If you're a child who is being raised in a Christian home, please take to heart that you need the gospel just as desperately as any other lost kid.

The Christian life is full of paradoxes; one, in particular, is that our lives are full of joy but also full of mourning. Even though we have the joy of Christ and the hope of heaven, yet there are still many things in this life that cause us to mourn. One thing that specifically causes us to mourn is our own remaining sin. These two realities may not seem to go together to the carnal mind, but...
An essential characteristic of someone who wants to follow Jesus Christ and call themselves a Christian is meekness. When we think of meekness, it truly is a rare quality in this world. Meekness is a death blow to self and to our pride. Meekness is forgiving those who hurt us. In short, meekness is being like the Lord Jesus Christ. 🎧MP3: https://illbehonest.com/download/fullsermons/blessed-are...
When a person becomes a true Christian, they have been changed at the deepest level; in particular, they've been changed down to the level of their appetites and desires. The world and many professing Christians hunger after many different things, but very few people hunger and thirst after righteousness. Very few people feel a longing ache in their souls that can only be relieved by conformity...
Pornography is nothing short of damnable filth that dishonors God, grieves the Spirit, despises the Cross, and will land someone in eternal hell if habitually practiced and unrepented of. Christian, you can't make any provision for this, and you especially can't make any blameshifting excuses for this. You need to slay this dragon, or it's going to slay you.

The religious leaders of Jesus' day were very clean on the outside but very dirty on the inside. Jesus calls His true disciples to have not just external righteousness, but also to have inward purity; and that inward purity must flow from the heart. The heart must be pure and God as its singular object of love and chief desire. Is your heart pure (singular) towards God, or is it divided?

If you were asked to define grace, the idea of "gift" may come to your mind, but would the idea of "power" also come to your mind? When we look at God's grace in the Bible, it doesn't just speak of pardon and forgiveness, but also of power to be transformed and to be like the Lord Jesus Christ. We need to be able to say with the Apostle Paul that when we've labored far more abundantly than our ...
Satan is on a quest to destroy the faith of God's people, and yet God is on a quest to strengthen the faith of God's people. And of all things, God uses the Devil and allows trials in order to strengthen the faith of the believer.
