We talked last week about how clarity doesn't always come. But that doesn't mean God is incoherent. We have clarity on more things than we lack. One of those things in the standard of Christian living. How should we live as Christians? What are the marks of true Christianity? This is the exact question Jesus answers in the Sermon on the Mount. Here…

Have you ever wondered what to do when God speaks to you? As shown by events in the bible we can see that God speaks to us in various ways. Therefore, after we've discerned that it IS God who is talking, we must be clear on what He is saying.

When we became saved, we are committed to giving up our old ways to pursue those things which are worthy in God’s eyes. If we truly mean to live a Christ-like life, then it should be reflected in our decision making process. We should pause, consult God, and listen for His response before setting out on any course of action…

"You're thirsty" is something nobody really wants to hear in our context. So when God says come all who are thirsty, we don't naturally think He's talking to us lol. "I'm not thirsty!" is probably our natural response. But maybe God doesn't mean it like we mean it? Pastor Emmanuel Dominguez joined us from BRAVE Church in Washington Heights to help …
