The milquetoast Jesus, i.e. the timid and feeble Jesus in the minds of many in the church today, is a figment of their imagination. He is a Jesus they have conjured up out of the depths of their sin because they don’t want to hear or know the hard teachings He brought. Better in their…

Matthew 13:12 – Abundance or Not
Jesus began a period of His ministry in which He spoke only in parables. His most famous of these is the Parable of the Sower. Most of us are familiar with this teaching, as we’ve likely heard it preached on many times. There is one verse that is probably less known in this account. In…
Genesis 35:9-11 & Matthew 11:20-24 – Which God?
There’s a deep connection between Genesis 35:9-11 and Matthew 11:20-24. In Genesis we read: “God appeared to Jacob again, when he came from Paddan-aram, and blessed him. And God said to him, “Your name is Jacob; no longer shall your name be called Jacob, but Israel shall be your name.” So he called his name…
Matthew 10:28 – Fear
Jesus knew the price His followers would have to pay in this wicked world. The promise of eternal life in Him comes with a high cost. Yet, Jesus said that it’s worth every penny we own and every drop of blood running through our veins. Who we fear and bow down to, even in great…
Matthew 10:25 – Rejecting Jesus
Upon Jesus calling His disciples, He soon sends them out to the towns and cities of Israel so as to gather her “lost sheep” (Matthew 10:6). He instructs the men to proclaim the Good News by telling everyone that “the kingdom of heaven is at hand” (Matthew 10:7). Jesus gives them the power and authority…
Matthew 6:24 – Believing Loyalty
When Jesus speaks about the problem of serving two masters in Matthew 6:24, His teaching goes to the heart of our relationship with God: “No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot…
Pastor Dana: Vision Sept. 14, 2020
This is a little different from what Pastor Dana has shared previously in that this is a vision rather than a dream. The message is one that seems to speak directly to the church – the Bride of Christ. It’s a word that is extremely important for those of us believing that we are part…
Prophecy Message: Things Past – Things to Come
In the Sunday morning service of New Beginnings Church on 8-2-20, I had the great privilege and awesome responsibility of bringing the message. It is one of Bible prophecy that provides an overview of these issues: What’s God’s Plan What’s His Purpose? Where Do We Go from Here? I pray you’ll receive these words in…
A Jeremiah Nation
I submit to you that America is a Jeremiah nation in a Jeremiah moment. This was made clear to me as I came across an article by Michael Snyder on his End of the American Dream blog: http://endoftheamericandream.com/archives/something-big-is-coming-pastor-dana-coverstone-just-had-another-prophetic-dream-about-the-month-of-september Snyder notes two items of importance. Another prophetic dream by Pastor Dana Coverstone that he recounts as…
Pastor Dana’s Coming Persecution Dream
This small-town pastor reminds me of David Wilkerson. Wilkerson was a rural Pennsylvania pastor who received a Word from God that he should go to New York City. The big city was completely out of Wilkerson’s comfort zone, but he was obedient and went. From his hearing God’s voice and obeying His direction, Wilkerson ended…
