David Cwir - What Was Paul's "Thorn in the Flesh?"

Many people have interpreted Paul's "thorn in my flesh" in 2 Corinthians 12:7 to mean that God allows sickness and disease to keep people humble. In this week’s podcast, David addresses this scripture to show that Paul was not referring to a sickness or disease, but that Paul meant something quite different in context. Check out this week’s podcast if you are interested in learning more about what Paul meant when he said “I was given a thorn in my flesh”

David Cwir - Understanding God's Empowering Presence

From His conception to His resurrection, everything about Jesus Christ’s life and ministry was a result of the Spirit’s work: He was conceived by the Spirit (Matthew 1:18; Luke 1:35); He was led by the Spirit (Matthew 4:1; Luke 4:1); He was empowered to do ministry by the Spirit (Luke 4:14-20); He spoke the Word of God by the Spirit (John 3:34; John 6:63); He was raised from the dead by the Spirit (Romans 8:11). Not only did Jesus delegate His authority to us, He also gave us the same power that He operated in through the Holy Spirit so that we could carry on His work until he returns.

David Cwir - The Power and Ministry of Divine Healing

In the Gospels, Jesus’ pattern was to preach that “the Kingdom of God has come near” and then demonstrate the reality of the Kingdom by ministering healing. In fact, there are over 80 passages in the Bible where Jesus and the disciples healed people. The ministry of healing is such an important aspect of the gospel of the Kingdom that Jesus mandated that all of His disciples follow His example by healing the sick (Matthew 10:8). As New Covenant believers, we need to know and understand our authority in Christ to heal the sick so that we can fully proclaim the gospel of Christ (Romans 15:19). Check out this week's message if you would like to learn more about the Scriptural basis of divine healing.

David Cwir – Bitter Root Judgments and Expectancies

Have you ever noticed recurring patterns in your life that you can’t seem to stop? At some point in our lives, we’ve all made wrong or ungodly judgments of others as a result of their negative words, actions, or behaviors. Bitter roots can come from our negative or sinful reactions to hurts, or the many negative situations we experienced growing up, whereby we allowed bitterness, resentment, negative attitudes, etc. to take root in our heart. Bitter Root Expectancies are a habitual way of viewing how things will go for us. They act like a self-fulfilling prophesy in which we unconsciously “push” people to act how we expect them. Check out this message if you would like to learn more about how to break negative recurring patterns in your life that result from bitter root judgments and expectancies.

David Cwir - The Heart is the Heart of the Gospel to the Heart

The heart is one of the most critical aspects of life in the New Covenant, which is why Jesus put the heart at the forefront in many of His teachings. Scriptures from both the Old and New Testament place the heart as the defining aspect that distinguished Old from New covenant living. Yet, the heart is an often neglected topic today. If we are to love God with all of our hearts and live life as New Covenant believers, we must understand the heart and place as much importance on it as other topics emphasized in Scripture. Check out this week's message if you would like to hear more about the heart, its role in the New Covenant, and about ministry to the heart.

David Cwir - Freely You Have Received, Freely Forgive

Jesus defines righteousness differently in the New Covenant: Everything we have received is a gift from God, and we must freely give unto others that which we have received. God accepts, forgives, secures, and loves us unconditionally, which means that we no longer have to “earn” these things by doing law. Because righteousness in the New Covenant is predicated on God’s prior acceptance, we are freed up to have a new stance towards others. We are free to love that person who wronged us the way God does; with unconditional forgiveness, kindness, and mercy. Check out this week’s message if you would like to hear more about the importance of forgiveness.
