The Source Church: Recent Episodes
Pastors Ralph & Joanne Hoehne
The Source Church began in 2007 in the home of Pastors Ralph and Joanne Hoehne. Since then the vision of the Source Church has been "to Love and Serve People to Life." The Source Church is still focused on that goal and has expanded that goal to those in Canada with the opening of our Winnipeg campus in 2014.
We serve a God that restores marriages, heals families, mends broken hearts, and changes lives. Because of this we are a church that believes in Engaging, Equipping, and Empowering. We use every opportunity, through as many outlets as possible, to share the news of Jesus Christ and His life saving ability.
Through worship, creativity, and practical messages, we work diligently to share Jesus in a clear and meaningful way. Although music, teaching styles, and other things may change, we believe the Word of God is constant. Our delivery may change, but the message never does.

The Moses generation experienced tribulation trying to escape something. The Joshua generation endured persecution to embrace their promise! Not all persecution is equal! One is fear-based and the other was promise driven. One was running FROM and one was running TO.
Running FROM your situation will never fix your situation. Running TO what God has for you will always give you victory in due season.
What is really driving you? Is it fear or faith? Fear will keep you in the crisis, even when you do all the right things. But faith will step you into a place of peace, protection, and eventual victory
Many times we can do all the right things. We are praying, speaking scripture, tithing, counseling etc. But if the reason we are doing those is based on fear of losing or failure, we have the wrong foundation. The foundation to get victory always has to be based on faith of running TO what God has.
When in crisis, our temptation is to run FROM the situation we are in. But what if that’s not the answer? What if the answer is to run TO what God has spoken over you!
The Moses generation experienced tribulation trying to escape something. The Joshua generation endured persecution to embrace their purpose! Not all persecution is equal! One is fear-based and the other was purpose driven. One was running FROM and one was running TO.
Today we celebrate! USA is 250 years old, and Canada turned 159 this week.
Celebration is good!
Taking time to remember what God has done and what we fight for in the future.
In today’s society men are living under tremendous pressure
These pressures and responsibilities are very real, and often part of life as a man. But how we handle them is the key.
Your situation does not have to be perfect for God to step in and bring you strength, peace and answers to your current situation. He’s a NOW God with a NOW answer.
Lamentations 3:22-23 AMP
It is because of the Lord’s loving kindnesses that we are not consumed, Because His [tender] compassions never fail. They are new every morning; Great and beyond measure is Your faithfulness.
Let’s look at what’s causing it…..
Acts 1:8 Amplified
But you will receive power and ability when the Holy Spirit comes upon you.
The Holy Spirit is the profound power that helps you
-
know how to handle decisions
-
How to step into divine favor
-
How to avoid pitfalls and crisis.
-
How to have power and peace in crisis and chaos
-
How to see supernatural living actually happen
So what does this look like?
Cancel culture is rampant these days.
Cancel Culture:
a way of behaving in a society or group, especially on social media, in which it is common to completely reject and stop supporting someone because they have said or done something that offends you
People talk online much worse than they would to your face. But God sees what you type as much as he sees what you say! You will be held accountable for every word.
We want to talk about some powerful women today and their journey in the wait.
Every woman in the Bible who waited longer than expected, gave birth to a baby that changed History.
Maybe its not a baby you’re believing for, but instead a restoration, a ministry, a career or opportunity. God’s timing is always perfect if we allow ourselves to trust Him.
2 Corinthians 4:8-9 NLT
We are pressed on every side by troubles, but we are not crushed. We are perplexed, but not driven to despair. We are hunted down, but never abandoned by God. We get knocked down, but we are not destroyed.
Whatever your situation - you may be wounded but with God you’ll never be broken!
There are different kinds of wounds - some are inflicted on us out of our control. Some that WE unintentionally caused ourselves. God is able to redeem both!
2 Corinthians 4:8-9 NLT
We are pressed on every side by troubles, but we are not crushed. We are perplexed, but not driven to despair. We are hunted down, but never abandoned by God. We get knocked down, but we are not destroyed.
Romans 8:35,37 NLT
35 Can anything ever separate us from Christ’s love? Does it mean he no longer loves us if we have trouble or calamity, or are persecuted, or hungry, or destitute, or in danger, or threatened with death?……
37 No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us.
There are different kinds of wounds - some are inflicted on us out of our control. Some that WE unintentionally caused ourselves. God is able to redeem both!
2 Corinthians 4:8-9 NLT
We are pressed on every side by troubles, but we are not crushed. We are perplexed, but not driven to despair. We are hunted down, but never abandoned by God. We get knocked down, but we are not destroyed.
Hard times often make us question God - where are you? Are you punishing me? Are you mad at me? Did I do something wrong? Why am I going through this?
2 Corinthians 4:8-9 NLT
We are pressed on every side by troubles, but we are not crushed. We are perplexed, but not driven to despair. We are hunted down, but never abandoned by God. We get knocked down, but we are not destroyed.
Have you read a book or watched a movie that ends shockingly bad?
It leaves you in a really bad place. You ask yourself the question, why did it end this way? I didn’t expect this to happen.
Matt 12:40 tells us that Jesus descended to hell, to pay the price for our sins.
But he didn’t stay there! He defeated the power of death, both physically and spiritually.
We’ve been learning to step into our Christ identity, and not allow other identities to take primary place.
- In any of those identities, we are easily pulled into victimhood and bondage.
Colossians 3:11 TPT
In this new creation life, your nationality makes no difference, nor your ethnicity, education, nor economic status—they matter nothing. For it is Christ that means everything as he lives in every one of us!
So freedom comes when we find that we can have a new identity through Jesus Christ.
Now that we know who we are and how to live in that, there’s a second part we need to now dive into that’s just as important.
Who are YOU? How do we see the people around us? What Identity I put on you is as important as the identity I put on myself.
We’ve been learning to step into our Christ identity, and not allow other identities to take primary place.
- In any of those identities, we are easily pulled into victimhood and bondage.

Everyone is fighting about identity.
Everybody is being pulled into a tribe and told“this is who you are.”
Our New God identity should supersede every other identity we carry.
Colossians 3:11 TPT
In this new creation life, your nationality makes no difference, nor your ethnicity, education, nor economic status—they matter nothing. For it is Christ that means everything as he lives in every one of us!
2 Corinthians 5:17 NLT
This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!
But the more people fight to define themselves by these labels, the more divided everything becomes.
- A house divided can’t stand.
We’ve lost the identity we are supposed to carry.
2 Corinthians 5:17 NLT
This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!
Your values will follow your identity.
Your identity will determine what you seek after
Our old identity MUST surrender to our new identity.
We need to fully understand the power of walking in our Christ identity.
Identity War today! We’ve lost the identity we are supposed to carry.
2 Corinthians 5:17 NLT
This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!
Our New Identity in Christ contains all the wealth of God’s goodness, that has already been placed in us. We don’t strive to attain it, we strive to understand and rest in it.
2 Peter 1:3 TPT
Everything we could ever need for life and godliness has already been deposited in us by his divine power. For all this was lavished upon us through the rich experience of knowing him who has called us by name and invited us to come to him through a glorious manifestation of his goodness.
Identity War today! We’ve lost the identity we are supposed to carry.
Galatians 2:20 TPT
My old identity has been co-crucified with Christ and no longer lives. And now the essence of this new life is no longer mine, for the Anointed One lives his life through me—we live in union as one!

This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!
Hebrews 4:10 TPT
“As we enter into God’s faith-rest life (or new identity) we cease from our own works, just as God celebrates his finished works and rests in them.”
We are in an Identity War today! We’ve lost the identity we are supposed to carry.
There should be NO divisions between us as christians
Colossians 3:11 TPT
In this new creation life, your nationality makes no difference, nor your ethnicity, education, nor economic status—they matter nothing. For it is Christ that means everything as he lives in every one of us!
We are getting triggered as people and as a nation, and its the enemies plot to destroy us.
Identity War today! Culture has us dividing over things like skin color, race and politics.
These are dividing our nation and destroying us as a people.
But what does God say about identities under these things?
Identity War today! Culture has us dividing over things like skin color, race and politics.
These are dividing our nation and destroying us as a people.
But what does God say about identities under these things?
It’s easier to stay silent - to stay politically correct. But then the enemy wins.
- An unusual series, but vital right now
Are we supposed to support Israel? As a people? As a nation? Didn’t Christians replace them? What about the government of Israel? What about Jews who are evil?
- All these will be answered with BIBLICAL truth.

Deception is running rampant, and we need the TRUTH of God’s word to discern.
Home is a place where:
You’re known
You’re loved
You belong
The ‘church’ is a family.
This place is just the HOME where family can gather.
Jesus came so that YOU would know and find YOUR place in His family, and know that you could find a permanent HOME where you belong.
Hebrews 3:6-8
But Christ, as the Son, is in charge of God’s entire house. And we are
God’s house, IF we keep our courage and remain confident in our hope in
Christ. 7 That is why the Holy Spirit says,
“Today WHEN you hear his voice, 8 Don’t Harden Your Hearts as Israel did when they rebelled, when they
tested me in the wilderness.
Some Causes of a Hardened Heart:
Persistent sin: Ongoing disobedience - You know it’s wrong BUT you keep on doing it.
Repeated Rejection: Consistently ignoring God's word or appeals can cause the heart to become more calloused.
Pride: Feelings of self-importance and arrogance.
Life's disappointments: Setbacks and disappointments can contribute to the hardening of the heart.
Unbelief: Disregarding, Ignoring, or Denying God's power and truth.
God is Indeed Our Father, our Dad
John 1:12NLT
But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God.
Through Jesus, we are FULLY accepted. FULLY loved. FULLY embraced as a child.
God is also our King -
Through Jesus, we are FULLY accepted. FULLY loved. FULLY embraced as a child.
Romans 5:1-2 TPT
'Our faith in Jesus transfers God’s righteousness to us and he now declares us flawless in his eyes. This means we can now enjoy true and lasting peace with God, all because of what our Lord Jesus, the Anointed One, has done for us. Our faith guarantees us permanent access into this marvelous kindness that has given us a perfect relationship with God.
That means nothing is in the way of you running to him as your dad! We can run to God and get loved on and embraced!
God is also our King -
John 1:12-13 NLT
'But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God. They are reborn—not with a physical birth resulting from human passion or plan, but a birth that comes from God.'
1 John 3:1 AMP
'See what an incredible quality of love the Father has shown to us, that we would [be permitted to] be named and called and counted the children of God!
We are truly His kids! You can call him Daddy
God CHOSE you to be His child. You weren’t forced upon Him, but uniquely chosen and unconditionally loved.
We can’t throw out what God created and intended, just because the devil has distorted it and used our humanity against us
God designed The Church as a place for us to heal, to belong, and to find purpose.
First we talked about the fact that Jesus is the foundation of the church. It’s all about Him, and helping people know Him and experience Him more

The church is not individual people, it’s when each of us gather together, as believers in Jesus.
The church is not a religious institution, it is a living and breathing way of life that God launched on the day the Holy Spirit came at Pentecost. That’s when ‘The Church’ was birthed, and the new covenant in Jesus Christ began.
God wants you to possess ALL the promises He has for you.
He’s not a God of little or minimal. He’s a god of more than enough.
John 10:10 TPT
But I have come to give you everything in abundance, more than you expect —life in its fullness until you overflow!'

Fight the good fight of the faith
God is a good God who has so many great things for each of us.
John 10:10 TPT
'A thief has only one thing in mind—he wants to steal, slaughter, and destroy. But I have come to give you everything in abundance, more than you expect —life in its fullness until you overflow!'
‘If it be God’s will’ is a way to simply blame on God, what the enemy gets away with in our lives. God’s plan is always for good. But promises require action and faith to pursue!

But WE need to boldly push past resistance, and take our promise

'Bless and affectionately praise the Lord, O my soul, And do not forget any of His benefits; Who forgives all your sins, Who heals all your diseases; Who redeems your life from the pit, Who crowns you [lavishly] with lovingkindness and tender mercy; Who satisfies your years with good things, So that your youth is renewed like the [soaring] eagle.'
He wants to heal you, restore you, love you, satisfy you!!
Father’s carry a lot of weight
finances, family, spiritual leadership, work,
being masculine yet also having to be sensitive and emotional.
It can be overwhelming to be everything!
Matthew 19:26 AMP
'But Jesus looked at them and said, “With people [as far as it depends on them] it is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
What does ‘With God’ really mean?
We all want to be in His presence, or sing about having more of His presence. What’s happened that makes it seem absent or sparse? Why does it seem like God’s presence is elusive or hard to obtain? What hinders us from experiencing His presence constantly on a daily basis?
The enemy is “the father of lies” and he’s the one who divides. “The thief comes but to steal, kill and destroy,..” I call that “subtraction and division. “I have come that you would have life more abundantly.” Jesus adds and multiplies. John 10:10
To get you to entertain “false beliefs” has been and always will be satan’s number one tactic. It starts with questioning the truth of the Word of God. Then he contradicts the Truth with the premise that God is depriving you of something good.
Luke 24:49
But stay here…. until the Holy Spirit comes and fills you with power from heaven.”
More than any other time in our existence, we need the power of the Holy Spirit to help us in these crazy times!

FOUNDATION: Don’t step out of God’s timing
Today, I’m speaking to ALL women.
Mothering is a VERB: it’s an action, not just a title. It means to train, to lead, to pour into. It’s an action all women can take.
Jesus showed this…at the cross.
John 19:25-27 (NLT)
Standing near the cross were Jesus’ mother, and his mother’s sister, Mary (the wife of Clopas), and Mary Magdalene. When Jesus saw his mother standing there beside the disciple he loved, he said to her, “Dear woman, here is your son.” And he said to this disciple, “Here is your mother.” And from then on this disciple took her into his home.
Often we find ourselves feeling like we are in a wilderness. Wandering, without seeing the promise.

The time in the wilderness was simply the time from the promise being given, to the time the promise was fulfilled.
Today’s Foundation: One of the reasons for the journey, is for us to learn to worship God.
The time in the wilderness was simply the time from the promise being given, to the time the promise was fulfilled.
Foundations we’ve learned:
First: Know what your promise is! You won’t withstand the wilderness if you don’t know what promise ahead is.
Second: Be willing to step into the journey to the promise.
Third: We need the power of the blood of Jesus over our lives, in order to step into the journey to our promise.
Fourth: Crisis can actually be the catalyst that drives us towards our promise.
“Got to Remember that the desert is an opportunity for miracles”
John James
Often we find ourselves feeling like we are in a wilderness. Wandering, without seeing the promise. In crisis. Feel blah
The time in the wilderness was simply the time from the promise being given, to the time the promise was fulfilled.

Israelites in the desert have so many lessons for us to learn.

Often we find ourselves feeling like we are in a wilderness. Wandering, without seeing the promise.
The time in the wilderness was simply the time from the promise being given, to the time the promise was fulfilled.
So in order to manage the wilderness, or the journey, we need to have a foundation of understanding the promise, and stepping into the promise first.
Life brings storms—moments when God feels distant, silent, or hidden. But even when we can’t see Him, He is always present, working behind the scenes for our good.
Brett & Molly Hoehne share a powerful message of hope and faith in the midst of life’s trials. Don’t miss this opportunity to be encouraged and reminded that God is closer than you think.

Ephesians 3:19-20 TPT
How deeply intimate and far-reaching is his love! How enduring and inclusive it is!….. He will achieve infinitely more than your greatest request, your most unbelievable dream, and exceed your wildest imagination! He will outdo them all, for his miraculous power constantly energizes you.'
This is a God who is so good, there’s nothing good He wants to hold back from you. A God who rescues you in crisis. A God who has amazing plans to exceed your wildest dreams. But we must access that through relationship with Jesus, and through prayer.
God is so good, and wants to meet your every need. He wants to prosper you and bless you.

How do we access that? Through prayer:

'When you call on me and come to me in prayer, I will listen to your every word . '
Let’s have Anticipation for what’s ahead!!
Endless possibility
New Opportunity
Anticipate the trip of this year!
Philippians 3:13-14 (AMP)
Brothers and sisters, I do not consider that I have made it my own yet; but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the [heavenly] prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
There are some things we should carry forward, but there are some things we shouldn’t!
Dr. Tracy Strawberry shares biblical truths with practical insights, delivering a message of faith, hope, restoration, and freedom through Jesus Christ. She is passionate about seeing the lost found and the bound set free!
Getting ready to start a new year. Many of us will try to make resolutions for the entire year.
- and by June many of those will have failed already.
So we aren’t focusing on the whole year, but instead we want to focus on the START of the year.
Exploring the names given to Jesus actually gives us huge insight into not only who He is, but who He should be to US.
Mary and Joseph had a plan. For a regular engagement, marriage and life together.
But then God messed with their plans…..
We can’t let distractions cause us to miss what God actually has intended for us. Both in this Christmas season and in our lives in general.
God has been so faithful!
when we gauge one month to the next, you may not see much change, but when you look back over the years you realize how much God has truly accomplished!
As much as we love to look back at God’s faithfulness, its also a great day to be reminded of who God made us to be as a church, and what he’s called us to. Not just for the last 17 years, but the many decades still ahead.
Fingerprints/DNA - reminds us each that God made us EACH individual - that no two of us are exactly alike.
Same with church - Though we all have the same call to reach people and proclaim Jesus, we each have a unique DNA code in how we achieve that.
Last week we talked about how anger and hatred coming out needs to be replaced with forgiveness and love.
Life provides the cup, YOU choose how to fill it. Today let's work towards filling our cups with gratitude, forgiveness, joy, words of affirmation, resilience, positivity; and kindness, gentleness and love for others.
Today we talk about switching from anger, fear and hatred to thankfulness.
We see a lot of people totally stuck in emotions and anger! They’re fearful, hating and angry. Wether it’s the election, or a personal situation or relationship.
We want to get you unstuck
Life provides the cup, YOU choose how to fill it. Today let's work towards filling our cups with gratitude, forgiveness, joy, words of affirmation, resilience, positivity; and kindness, gentleness and love for others.

The reason facts don’t change most peoples opinions is because most people don’t use facts to form their opinions. They use their opinions to form their facts.
We must think theologically, and not emotionally or even logically.

Truth is hard to find right now - so we MUST go to the Word.
We shouldn’t be playing for one team or the other. We need to be KINGDOM Voters. NO allegiance to a team, allegiance ONLY to the Kingdom of God.
Put first the kingdom of God - or HIS way of doing things…
Kingdom voting elevates God’s principles and ways of doing things over our own preferences & desires. This election should not be about personalities, or even a person. It’s about having Godly principles established into Government that could last for decades to come.
First of all - let’s clarify our role in this. We stand as your pastors, and not just as two people who have opinions on this.
This is our God given job description….
2 Timothy 4:2-5 AMP
Preach the word [as an official messenger]; be ready when the time is right and even when it is not [keep your sense of urgency, whether the opportunity seems favorable or unfavorable, whether convenient or inconvenient, whether welcome or unwelcome]; correct [those who err in doctrine or behavior], warn [those who sin], exhort and encourage [those who are growing toward spiritual maturity], with inexhaustible patience and [faithful] teaching. For the time will come when people will not tolerate sound doctrine and accurate instruction [that challenges them with God’s truth]; but wanting to have their ears tickled [with something pleasing], they will accumulate for themselves [many] teachers [one after another, chosen] to satisfy their own desires and to support the errors they hold, and will turn their ears away from the truth and will wander off into myths and man-made fictions [and will accept the unacceptable]. But as for you, be clear-headed in every situation [stay calm and cool and steady], endure every hardship [without flinching], do the work of an evangelist, fulfill [the duties of] your ministry. '
Truth is hard to find right now - so we MUST go to the Word.
Story of the prodigal son. It relates to us and our heavenly father, and how we often respond to him, but also His response to us as we return.
You cannot see your reflection in boiling water. Similarly, you cannot see the truth in a state of anger & negativity. When the waters calm, clarity comes.
John 16:33 AMPC
I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace and confidence. In the world you have tribulation and trials and distress and frustration; but be of good cheer [take courage; be confident, certain, undaunted]! For I have overcome the world. [I have deprived it of power to harm you and have conquered it for you.]
When we have a deep revelation of the fact that Jesus has already won the victory for you over everything the devil may throw at us, you can have peace!
Responsible-having an obligation to do something, or having control over or care for someone, as part of one's JOB or ROLE
Matthew 22:37-39 Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’
We need relationships! Deeper than just a hello on a Sunday.
Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 AMP
9 Two are better than one because they have a more satisfying return for their labor; 10 for if either of them falls, the one will lift up his companion. But woe to him who is alone when he falls and does not have another to lift him up. 11 Again, if two lie down together, then they keep warm; but how can one be warm alone? 12 And though one can overpower him who is alone, two can resist him. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.
In order to have deeper relationships, we must take intentional steps to both develop and nurture healthy, life giving friendships.
A lie believed as truth will affect your life as if it were true.
John 8:32 TPT
For if you embrace the truth, it will release true freedom into your lives.
John 8:31-32 TPT
“When you continue to embrace all that I teach, you prove that you are my true followers. For if you embrace the truth, it will release true freedom into your lives.”
We must make sure our spiritual foundation is made with TRUTH.
Many of us grew up with what we thought were biblical truths, but really aren’t! They’re actually distortions and out right lies.
2 Corinthians 11:14 NLT
Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.
Satan wants to get you off course.
He won’t be obvious
Many of us grew up with what we thought were biblical truths, but really aren’t! They’re actually distortions and out right lies.
2 Corinthians 11:14 NLT
Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.
Satan doesn’t have to make you participate in his horrific obvious sinful things, all he has to do it get you off course with a little lie, that eventually takes you completely out of God’s plan for your life.
John 8:32 TPT
For if you embrace the truth, it will release true freedom into your lives.
Believing a lie has never set anyone free! It may temporarily make you feel better, but will never bring true freedom to your life. Only God’s TRUTH can do that.
John 8:31-32 TPT
“When you continue to embrace all that I teach, you prove that you are my true followers. For if you embrace the truth, it will release true freedom into your lives.”
Believing a lie has never set anyone free! It may temporarily make you feel better, but will never bring true freedom to your life. Only God’s TRUTH can do that.
FAITH is the key to miracles!
Faith is believing that what God has said, and what you have asked for, is actually ALREADY done, and now we simply journey to the manifestation of it.
Hear, Believe, Act. They can’t be done out of order. Acting won’t cause faith to arise, you have to act on what you actually BELIEVE. You won’t believe unless you first hear.
Prosper in ALL things -
3 John 2 (NKJV)
2 "Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers."
We are anointed and called to see miracles break out around us!
John 14:12 NLT
“I tell you the truth, anyone who believes in me will do the same works I have done, and even greater works, because I am going to be with the Father.
Faith is the only currency accepted in Heaven to release miracles on earth.
Matthew 9:29 TPT
“You will have what your faith expects!”
OUR faith is directly linked to our miracle. God is NOT holding back your miracle - OUR faith is.
Mark 11:22-23 NKJV
So Jesus answered and said to them, “Have faith in God. For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says.
Mothers come in all types… birth, adopted, spiritual moms, step-moms, moms in waiting, future moms,
Women, you are strong and God has given us a unique, powerful ability to carry a child, and carry a DREAM.
We have such a profound ability to give birth. Not only in the physical sense, but just as powerfully in the spiritual sense. To not only nourish a baby, but to nourish and give birth to dreams.
We’e been learning that true FAITH can unleash miracles in our own lives, but also to those around us.
But first we need to understand WHAT faith is, and HOW to apply it.
John 14:12 TPT
“I tell you this timeless truth: The person who follows me in faith, believing in me, will do the same mighty miracles that I do—even greater miracles than these because I go to be with my Father!
Greater miracles!!
We need miracles to unleash around us. But there is a key to that and it’s not begging God. It’s faith.
Faith is the only currency accepted in Heaven to release miracles on earth.
Faith is often too vague a term in church circles. We need to get laser focused in our understanding of faith, and our operating of faith.

The Bible talks of TWO types of Inheritances He gives His people:
-
Eternal salvation in heaven & rewards once we reach heaven.
-
Physical provision and abundance while still on earth.
Psalm 94:14 AMP
For the Lord will not abandon His people, Nor will He abandon His inheritance.
1 Samuel 12:22 NLT
”The Lord will not abandon his people, because that would dishonor his great name. For it has pleased the Lord to make you his very own people.“
Today we talk on how God wants us to handle the Inheritance.
The Bible talks of TWO types of Inheritances He gives His people:
-
Eternal salvation in heaven & rewards once we reach heaven.
-
Physical provision and abundance while still on earth.
God wants to share His riches with us through an inheritance.
Inheritance is all about God trying to get HIS goodness & riches to US. Both spiritually AND physically.
Tithing is the foundation and baseline. None of the other types of giving can replace that. They can only build upon and above that.
Inheritance is mentioned in most of the Bible.
The Bible talks of TWO types of Inheritances He gives His people:
Eternal salvation in heaven & rewards once we reach heaven.
Physical provision and abundance while still on earth.
We are talking about the PROCESS of accessing that inheritance.
What is an offering? It’s what we give to God ABOVE our tithe. But the tithe MUST come first. You can’t have the benefits of the offering, if you first haven’t fulfilled the tithe.
God wrote you into His will, and left you thousands of promises.

This episode covers approximately the week after Jesus was raised from the dead. When reading the relevant passages from the four Gospels, the exact order of events is a little unclear. One possible ordering of events is: the tomb is visited by women, the stone is rolled away, the tomb is found empty by the women, the tomb is found empty by Peter and John, Jesus appears to Mary Magdalene, Jesus appears to other women, report of the soldiers, Jesus appears to the two disciples on the road to Emmaus who report to the apostles, Jesus appears to the ten apostles, and Jesus appears to Thomas and the rest of the apostles.
Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus buried Jesus on Friday afternoon. They did not have time nor expertise to bury the body properly. Perhaps it was the job of the women to prepare a dead body. In any event, the women were not involved and went home to prepare spices and perfumes. They rested on Saturday in accordance with the Law of Moses.
At first opportunity, dawn on Monday, Mary Magdalene and other women took spices and perfumes to anoint the body of Jesus. They arrived either as the angels were rolling away the stone in front of the tomb or just after they had done so. When the women looked into the tomb, they found it empty. While they were in a stupor, the angel(s) told them Jesus had come back to life, just as he said he would.
The women ran to tell the eleven apostles, who were in disbelief. However, Peter and John ran to the tomb and also found it empty. When Peter saw the headcloth was folded by itself, he ascertained that things were askew, but was not convinced Jesus had risen from the dead.
At some point, Mary Magdalene stood outside the tomb and Jesus appeared to her. He instructed her to tell the apostles to meet him in Galilee. Jesus also appeared to the other women.
That same day, Jesus appeared to two of his disciples walking on the road to Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem. They could not recognize him in his resurrected body, but he eventually revealed himself. Importantly, he explained how the scriptures in the Old Testament testified about him. The two returned to Jerusalem and told the apostles.
Jesus appeared to ten of the apostles without Thomas, and later appeared to all eleven of them. So Jesus rose from the dead as he foretold. How would that change things?
All four Gospels record events from the last week of Jesus’ life. Reading about this time period in a parallel Gospel account is very helpful, mindful that each writer has his own information sources and goals, and the Holy Spirit inspired them. Matthew and John were eyewitnesses of this time period, while Mark got his information from other sources, with Peter probably being his primary resource.
During his last week, Jesus generally entered Jerusalem in the morning, taught the people and jousted with the authorities during the day, and then retired from Jerusalem in the evening to the Mount of Olives.
Although the order of events is not perfectly clear, it is likely that Jesus’ last week begins with his triumphal entry, an event recorded in all four Gospels. Possibly the next events are the cursing of the fig tree, and the cleansing of the Temple when Jesus challenged the moneychangers.
Another well-recorded event is known among scholars as the Olivet Discourse, when Jesus sat on the Mount of Olives and gave a long discourse about the future events, especially the future of Jerusalem. Matthew 24-25 is the most detailed of the recordings. Jesus tells at least five parables, and ends with the well-known story of the separation of the sheep and goats when the Son of Man comes.
All four Gospels portray the Last Supper, but John 13-17 provides the most details of the evening. At the end of the Last Supper, Jesus leads the apostles to Garden of Gethsemane, located on the western slope of the Mount of Olives. Jesus prays in the garden and prepares his apostles for the end, then Judas and a contingent of up to two hundred men arrive to arrest Jesus and take him back to Jerusalem for trial.
Although the order is not absolutely certain, events probably transpired as follows: the trial before Annas, the trial before Caiaphas while Peter denies Jesus in the courtyard, the trial before the Sanhedrin, the first trial before Pilate, the trial before Herod Antipas, the second trial before Pilate, the approximately six hours of crucifixion, and the burial of Jesus.
Luke writes about the Last Supper, as well as Jesus’ arrest, trial crucifixion, death, and burial in only two chapters. He writes about those events in rather terse language and doesn’t provide many details; you can read the two chapters in less than ten minutes. You will have to read the accounts in the other Gospels to get a much fuller description of what happened in those twenty-four hours.
Without giving exact chronological timing, Luke issues a forewarning of Jesus’ death by telling of Judas’ agreement to betray Jesus to the Jewish leaders. Luke does not make it clear whether the betrayal happened because Satan entered into Judas or because of the payment of money, or both.
Luke only briefly describes the Last Supper and some of Jesus’ conversations. You have to read the account in John to have an appreciation of the momentous events that happened at that time.
Peter was likely one of Luke’s information sources for what happened the night of Jesus’ arrest. Perhaps that is why Luke includes Jesus’ prophecy about Peter’s denial of Jesus and the later fulfillment of that prophecy. However, Luke does not identify Peter as the one who cut off Malchus’ ear, as John did.
Throughout history, Pilate has been either vilified or exonerated of his actions that resulted in the crucifixion of Jesus. He was no doubt a violent man, but was he evil or just doing his job as a Roman official? The Jewish leaders knew they could possibly end Pilate’s career by causing a big enough riot, so his desire both to keep his position and to do a good job were sufficient to cause him to end the life of Jesus.
It is tempting to think of the crucifixion of Jesus as a special event. In fact, crucifixion was a common capital punishment of the Romans, Persians, Carthaginians, and other cultures, often used to punish political or religious agitators, pirates and slaves. As an example, in the aftermath of the slave rebellion led by Spartacus, about 11,000 rebelling slaves were crucified by the Roman Generals Crassus and Pompey.
What would you do if you had only twenty-four hours left to live? Spend it with your family, go skydiving, ask forgiveness of any you have offended, go to work? Jesus chose to eat Passover dinner with his twelve closest friends. The first few of his last hours consisted of eating the ritualistic Passover feast and giving his final instructions and farewell message.
According to John, the evening started with Jesus ritualistically washing the feet of his apostles, a task normally reserved for household slaves or servants. This act signified that the apostles were to be servants as they acted as the messengers of the Gospel.
Following this act of humility, Jesus prophesied several things, including: Judas would betray him, Peter would deny him three times, Jesus would go to be with the Father, and Jesus would send back the Holy Spirit.
John 14-17 comprise some of the most detailed and mysterious of all of Jesus’ teachings. Even though the apostles had gone through three years of intense training, these teachings stretched them to the maximum. Starting in John 14:9, Jesus talks about “being in,” “remaining in,” or “abiding in,” as per John 14:9, “I am in the Father and the Father is in me.” That terminology permeates much of the teaching. In fact, Jesus said in John 15:6, “He that abides in me, and I in him, will bear much fruit. Without me, he can do nothing.”
There are few times when Jesus expressly commands something, but he does so in this farewell talk. In John 15:12, Jesus commands the apostles to love one another, just as he has loved them. He follows that up by telling them that they are his friends if they do whatever he commands them to do.
In John 16, Jesus gives the apostles fair warning and encouraging words about what will happen to them after he is gone. He ends that section with a very encouraging statement: “I have overcome the world.” Note that he did not say he “would” overcome the world, but that he already had.
John 17 is a long prayer for his followers. John 17:3-4 are two of the most informative verses in the Bible. They provide a definition for eternal life, and they provide a good summation statement of Jesus’ work and purpose on earth.
Jesus chose Judas to be an apostle. Apparently, Judas was taught the same things as the other apostles and had the same types of experiences. It seems likely that Jesus loved Judas and valued him as much as any of the other apostles, at least until near the end.
Luke never met Judas. What Luke knew of Judas likely came from the testimony of the other apostles and from the stories he heard. We don’t read much about Judas before his betrayal of Jesus. It’s easy to suppose the Gospel writers so detested his betrayal that they were not interested in saying anything nice about him, but they also say very little about half of the apostles, so it may be that Judas was just like those apostles.
We are not told in the Bible when Judas started drifting away from Jesus. Perhaps he expected Jesus to overthrow Rome to establish an earthly kingdom and was disappointed when Jesus made it clear his kingdom was spiritual. Or perhaps it happened when Jesus called for his disciples to be fully committed and Judas realized he did not want that. Or perhaps it was some difficult teaching of Jesus or a time Judas was embarrassed by Jesus’ words or actions. We don’t know why or when, but we do know that the actions of Judas helped result in the death of Jesus.
Luke 14:15 references a feast in the kingdom of God. Since Jesus launches into one of his parables in reply, it is easy to overlook or misunderstand the reference. The statement was made after Jesus mentions the resurrection of the righteous. The Pharisees believed in the resurrection of the righteous, but they perceived they were the only righteous ones. Jesus’ parable not only discounts their likelihood of attendance, but also opens up the resurrection door for the all the people the Pharisees had rejected—the Gentiles, the poor, and the physically disabled and disfigured.
Luke 14:25 says that large crowds were with Jesus when he told them about the high cost of following him. Surely that kind of talk must have discouraged several in the crowd. John 6:66 records a time when Jesus clarified how hard it was going to be to follow him, and many of his disciples turned away and left for good. Unlike many modern leaders, Jesus did not make it easy or cheap to be his disciple; he was interested in having only dedicated followers who were willing to count the cost, and to pay it.
In order to get a fuller picture of the last week of Jesus’ life, you have to read all four Gospels, where each writer emphasizes different events and details. One of Luke’s special points was the opposition of the Pharisees and other Jewish leaders to the ministry of Jesus.
In Luke’s account, Jesus knew the physical manifestation of the Jewish leaders’ emphasis, the Temple, would soon come to an end. The Temple, built by Herod, was a magnificent building, but Jesus knew that it would be demolished in about forty more years.
Jesus also knew the spiritual manifestation of the Jewish leaders’ emphasis, ritual and rule-following, would soon come to an end. Without the Temple, many of their religious rites would automatically disappear. While their emphasis on man-made rules might not disappear, it would be shown to be useless.
The story of the widow’s mites (small coins) is well-known. As you think of the story, consider that Jesus’ mother was a widow. Jesus would have known the sacrifice the woman made. He must have already been thinking about his mother and what would happen to her after his death. Imagine the other details of life that Jesus must have considered as he faced his impending death. Like all of us, he surely felt he had more to do than time in which to do it.
As you read the different Gospel accounts of the last week of Jesus’ life, you have to be struck with his desperate efforts to teach his enemies as well as his friends. Jesus so badly wants to help everyone that he uses his precious time to convince everyone of his truth. However, with time running out, he talks with his followers about the future times and gives them his parting teachings and encouragements. He never sugarcoats their impending trials, but he does let them know that he won’t be victorious in the future…he is already victorious!
The video for this episode concentrates on a selected set of miraculous signs by Jesus. These are:
Changing water into wine at Cana (John 2:1-11) Healing the official’s son from a distance (John 4:46-54) Healing the paralytic at the Pool of Bethesda (John 5:1-5) Feeding the five thousand (John 6:5-14) Jesus walking on the water (John 6:16-24) Healing the man blind from birth who washed in the Pool of Siloam (John 9:1-7) The raising of Lazarus (John 11:1-45) Each of these miracles seems to be carrying multiple themes. Jesus isn’t just changing water to wine—he’s also showing that a new way to worship God has arrived, and this new way is better than the old. The healing of the official’s son shows the importance of faith, and that Jesus in not limited by normal limitations. The healing of the paralytic shows that Jesus is ruler of the Sabbath, the feeding of the five thousand that Jesus gives true life, and walking on the water that Jesus is the ruler of all nature.
The Bible doesn’t say where the blind man was when he met Jesus, but more than likely he was a fair distance away from the Pool of Siloam, which is located at the end of the tunnel built by King Hezekiah and is downhill from most of Jerusalem. As he gained his sight, the man would have been able to see the Temple Mount about one-half of a mile uphill to the north. He must have been amazed!
In John 9:1-2, Jesus upends the notion that people’s sins always make them materially or physically disadvantaged. This would have been a direct threat to a common teaching of the day that disadvantaged people were that way because of sin, while advantaged people were that way because of righteousness.
The resurrection of Lazarus shows that Jesus rules over death and can bring life into any situation. The one thing all these miracles have in common is this: they all point to the fact that God is to be glorified in every situation because he is the Master of All.
In varying amounts of detail, the Triumphal Entry is described in all four gospel accounts. Only Matthew and John were present at the event, and all four gospel writers had different purposes in choosing the details of their story line.
Although the Triumphal Entry is traditionally taken to have happened on the Sunday before the crucifixion of Jesus, experts vary on the exact day it happened. John wrote that Jesus arrived in Bethany six days before the Passover, and indicates the entry happened the next day. Based on the placement of the passages in the other gospels, it could be interpreted that the entry could have happened as late as two days before Passover.
John says that people were going to see Lazarus, whom Jesus had raised from the dead. Matthew indicates a donkey and its colt were to be brought to Jesus, while the other three gospels mention only a colt. Luke indicates the colt had more than one owner. Mark and Luke have Jesus saying the colt will be unridden.
All of the writers have a common goal of relating the event and crowd’s reactions to at least two scriptures:
“Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion: shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh unto thee: he is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass.” Zechariah 9:9
“Blessed is he that comes in the name of the Lord: we have blessed you out of the house of the Lord.” Psalm 118:26
