Reform Church Audio Articles

Length: 7 minutes Today, in the church, faith has been twisted out of shape. It is hard to say “faith” without many people having many different opinions in their head. But faith is not what you've heard before. Let's see how simple and beautiful it is from scripture.  To a lot of Christians, faith is […]

Length: 8 Minutes Many times, believers look at things they've done in their life and think they've messed everything up. Or they look at some hardship they've experienced and feel they'll never recover. Or they may have gotten off track and feel like everyone has left them behind, forgotten. The truth is, if you'll take […]

Length: 5 Minutes Most everyone sees pride as an emotion that is built on self-reliance, but guilt is just the same. Pride is just self-reliance with the belief that you’re succeeding. Guilt is self-reliance with the belief that you’re failing. Both are self-reliance which we need to trade for Jesus-reliance. If you feel that your […]

Length: 8 Minutes Sometimes, even though we know that we should be meditating on Jesus, our minds can get caught up, chasing after the so-called “good things” of this life. Whether that’s wealth, our job, other people, or any earthly pleasure. These things can be temptations to draw our mind from the Lord, but here's […]

Length: 10 Minutes God is not asking us for any payment for the things He’s given, but when things hinder our knowledge of Jesus, those are things we should certainly let go of — not as if we're offering it to God, but for our own sake. Trust me, when you give something up to […]

Length: 7 Minutes Confession is very misunderstood in the church today. It's either dismissed or it's taught as the means by which we receive from God. Confession is important, but not because of what it is, but because of what it indicates. Years ago, there were a lot of things that I used to say […]

Length: 8 Minutes The Old Testament was people trying to change their lives for God. In the New Testament it’s God that works in us, to change our lives for us! When you learn about this rest, it is an amazing relief, but some may have some misconceptions on how this works. Galatians 2:20 (NKJV) […]

Length: 7 Minutes Many years ago, I started learning about how forgiven and righteous I was through Jesus. It was an amazing revelation. I finally felt clean and presentable before the Lord. Whenever I did something wrong, I would remember how righteous the Lord had made me. While that was an unspeakable consolation to me, […]

Length: 18 Minutes Do you know the only two problems that came into this world through Adam? Sin and death. Of all the problems that you could possibly see in this world, they can all be categorized under either sin or death. There is no problem in this world that cannot be categorized under one […]

Length: 12 Minutes If you were to read Romans 5-7 (and a bit of chapter 8) you would find words like “reign, slave, dominion, captivity, and law (as in a governing authority).” There are a lot of words describing a slave/master relationship. That's because, before we knew Jesus, we were slaves to sin and death. […]

Length: 7 Minutes There is a term in the church today — “on fire for God.” Ultimately, this is a term that is used for someone when they are extremely enthusiastic about God; often accompanied by a lot of very fast and visible results. While I’m not trying to dissuade anyone from being excited about […]

Length: 8 Minutes When a believer really starts digging their teeth into the knowledge of Jesus, it produces such an excitement and zeal that almost immediately, on its heels, is the desire for a Bible school degree, a position in the church, or even their own ministry. Let’s talk through all these emotions. Firstly, I […]

Length: 9 Minutes Amongst the most foundational things that you can know about death, hurt, aging, or the common cold (it’s all the same thing), is that these things are only in the world because of Adam's sin. That's right. It’s only in the world because of sin… that very thing that you’re cleansed of! […]

Length: 4 Minutes Sometimes, when we know that something in our life is not the will of God — be it an ailment, behavior, or otherwise — we think to ourselves, “I’m just done with this already!” And while it is commendable that you recognize what the will of God is for your life, there’s […]

Length: 5 Minutes In the church, Halloween is something of a controversial holiday. But many of the reasons Christians give for their skepticism are not well founded. This is a simple and biblical way to see it. One big reason for why many Christians don’t celebrate Halloween is because of its origins. Of course, if […]

Length: 8 Minutes When God speaks to you about who you are in Christ, those realities will become so normal in your mind that when they manifest, it won’t even surprise you. You’ve been seeing that reality for a long time! So much so, by the time your eyes see it on the outside, your […]

Length: 6 Minutes You are no longer like the world. You have a “new normal” through Jesus. Now God wants to normalize those things in your mind. Things like raising the dead, being young and healthy, being pure and guilt free, having complete rest from your work, knowing the future, and having an excess of […]

Length: 15 Minutes These are amongst the most fundamental things to understand about receiving from God. To most people, what God does or doesn't do in their life is mysterious and unpredictable at best. People will use God’s sovereignty as an excuse to say that He will essentially do anything, at any time, and we […]

Length: 28 Minutes In order to truly understand the things we are about to discuss, you need to be very firm on a few foundational concepts from the Bible.  1) We have every good, pleasing, and perfect thing inside of us already, in our born-again spirits (Hebrews 12:23, Philemon 1:6, 2 Corinthians 4:7).  2) These […]

Length: 4 Minutes We live in a world full of “you touch the stove, you burn your hand,” “you fall down, you skin your knee,” “everybody has problems,” “nobody knows everything,” “nobody’s perfect,” “everybody dies.” These things are held as more than just normal in this world. These things are held as common sense. But […]

Length: 15 Minutes If you’ve been a Christian for a number of years, I’m sure you’ve noticed that there’s a lot of “mystery” and ambiguity when people explain the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Certain questions can be answered, but when you probe a little too much, many will just chalk it up to, “That’s […]

Length: 6 Minutes Let’s go over a couple more questions regarding those who have justly died and God’s will for everyone to live. Is it God’s will to raise everyone from the dead? What about people that have undergone capital punishment (executed for severe crimes)?  Ultimately, it is the will of God that everybody would […]

Length: 5 Minutes Once you believe that Jesus provided resurrection, some people may think it’s unbelief to do these various things. So, let’s talk about how you proceed in these situations with this newfound knowledge. Should I continue with a burial as usual, now that I believe God can raise them? If someone dies, you […]

Length: 7 Minutes Before we answer some more questions about resurrection, it’s important for us to know that, while there’s nothing wrong with having our questions answered on how it looks when resurrection is manifested, it’s not a preoccupation with manifesting these things that actually produces it. It’s a preoccupation with what Jesus provided at […]

Length: 7 Minutes A very common question amongst those who believe in resurrection is, “What if someone doesn’t want to be raised?” Well, before someone died, they may have been resistant to the idea for different reasons. Let’s talk about two of them. Person #1A person who was resistant to the truth of resurrection, especially […]

Length: 15 Minutes If Jesus is the resurrection (as we have established in this handbook), then what are we to think about funerals? Should we attend funerals? Should we support the idea? Well, it’s not what you believe about funerals. It’s what you believe about death. If it’s permanent, then a memorial service makes sense. […]

Length: 6 Minutes As you grow in your knowledge of Jesus, your time spent growing is not in vain. The word of God is a seed that always produces fruit (Luke 8:15), but you need to continue in that word before you see the fullness of the fruit. Receiving doesn’t take time because God is […]

Length: 7 Minutes In our last part, we started speaking about prayer and the purpose of it. All prayer is for our mind, all the time. God is not benefited when we pray, we are. But let’s focus on how we make requests to God for manifestation. As with other things, there’s still much to […]

Length: 8 Minutes It’s funny, we will pray for the sick sometimes, as believers, but the second someone dies we usually throw up our hands and think, “Well, we tried.” But there’s no difference between raising the dead and healing the sick. One is not harder than the other. They’re both things Jesus provided for, […]

Length: 7 Minutes We need to normalize things like resurrection in our minds. That's what the Bible would call “the renewal of your mind.” And as simple as that is, that’s how people get raised. Everything that we receive from God, we receive through the knowledge of Jesus, and what He has done on the […]

Length: 8 Minutes If someone does pass, what should our reaction be? What is the proper way to react to something like this? Well, you don’t need to ask what the right reaction should be. Just concern yourself with what the truth of the situation is. If you know the truth of the situation, then […]

Length: 8 Minutes It’s always God’s will to give life to people. Thanks to Jesus, raising the dead is a simple as waking someone from sleep. That's excellent news, but we should also know: Even while a believer's body is still sleeping, their spirit has never been better! They have only changed locations. If a […]

Length: 8 Minutes As long as there is someone on this earth believing, as long as there’s someone in the situation full of the life of God, that person that “died,” is in fact not dead, but merely sleeping.  Jesus said something quite wonderful and very interesting about a little girl that had “died”. Pay […]

Length: 8 Minutes We’ve already been over many scriptural proofs, but for anyone who believes scripture, this is the simplest and most profound proof that physical resurrection is a part of our inheritance.  If we want to understand whether physical resurrection of the dead (or anything else) is included in our inheritance, we first need […]

Length: 6 Minutes Because of what Jesus provided, raising the dead back to life is nothing extraordinary or unusual. You don’t need a “special anointing” to see it in your life. You just need to have a clear idea of what you have in Christ. We have been so conditioned to the way the world […]

Length: 9 Minutes Paul was someone who suffered quite a lot for the gospel’s sake, but even he acknowledged that Jesus had fixed this, and the death and hurt he suffered was based on his own lack of knowledge (as is always the case – 2 Cor. 4:12, 2 Tim. 1:10, Rom. 8:6). But regarding […]

Length: 7 Minutes Paul said that he “finished his race.” So, doesn’t that imply that there comes a time when we’re supposed to die because our life is finished? Well, it would imply that, if the “race” he was speaking of was referring to his life, but that’s not the way the Bible defines the […]

Length: 9 Minutes When someone dies, people say that it was God’s “time” for them to die. Not only is that untrue, but God is trying to do quite the opposite. He’s trying to cause people to live (Romans 8:11). And you would think that would be less controversial than it is.  It is so […]

Length: 6 Minutes When someone dies, the church tells us that the Lord “called them home” or, “It was their time.” If, when people die, it is simply because the Lord called them home at their appointed time, then why did Jesus routinely raise people back up from the dead in His earthly ministry? For […]

Length: 5 Minutes Just about every Christian believes in immortality and in the resurrection of the dead, but many, if not most, see these things as something that is reserved for Jesus’ second coming, or for heaven someday. Of course, they believe that God has the ability to raise the dead now, but in their […]

Length: 6 Minutes When the church teaches about people living forever or being raised from the dead, it is most commonly taught as something that will occur when Jesus comes back. I am here to tell you that immortality and the resurrection of the dead is something we have received through Jesus' first coming on […]

Length: 5 Minutes The resurrection of the dead is not something that is unusual or uncommon to born-again believers, who have the same power that raised Jesus from the dead living inside of them. If it seems unusual, it is because we are just out of the loop! We simply don’t realize the very power […]

Length: 6 Minutes Most Christians will admit that physical death was a curse placed on Adam for his sin (Romans 8:10). And yet, most Christians also believe that everyone has “their time” to die, and our loving Father “calls us all home” at one point or another. If you didn’t know, those are just fancy […]

Length: 2 minutes 2 Peter 1:3 says that when we received the Spirit of God, we were given anything and everything, that concerns, or is related to, the life of God.  2 Peter 1:3 (NKJV) as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him […]

Length: 5 Minutes Ephesians 1:19-20 (NKJV) and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead... Everyone likes to quote Ephesians 1, which says that the power that is toward us (at […]

Length: 5 Minutes Do you believe that Jesus is the only way for us to receive from a holy God? If you do, you will love this article. Of course, we don’t deserve God’s grace by our works, but Jesus paid the price so that we could receive it! That’s Christianity 101. Many people think […]

Length: 2 Minutes Psalms 112:7 (NKJV) He will not be afraid of evil tidings; His heart is steadfast, trusting in the LORD. Do you know the beautiful thing about the times when someone gives you bad news? Do you want to know the really awesome thing about it, which just saps the fear and worry […]

Length: 6 Minutes In our last part, we introduced the concept that Peter spoke of, regarding submission without fear. This world submits for fear of consequences or for the control that they feel someone has over their life. But we submit to authority voluntarily, for the Lord's sake, without any fear or terror. 1 Peter […]

Length: 7 Minutes In Christ, all believers have the same thing, through the same cross. None of us differ in the grace that we have received from God, because we received it through the same payment. And while that is true, while we are growing, we don’t all play the same role, not in this […]

Length: 5 Minutes When you’ve gone through some addiction, habit, sickness, or pain for a long time, many people, and unfortunately many believers as well, feel sort of trapped or stuck, wondering if this thing will ever go away. I’ve got good news for you. As a believer you are a slave to righteousness and […]

Length: 11 minutes It’s true that we should assemble with like-minded believers consistently. It’s true that we should avoid the company of those who scoff at the gospel or aren’t willing to hear. It’s also true that we need to make time to speak with people that may disagree with us now, but are willing […]
