2011 was an exciting and fruitful year at One Love Ministries as we strove to "Give'em Heaven"! Hear the vision that God has for us to "Get off the shelves in 2012"!

Christmas is about the Gift most do not seek, but everyone needs. The Gift of Christmas is God's work of salvation. He has forgiven us, canceled out the certificate of debt, and has taken it to the cross. Have you experienced His gift for yourself?

The manger is the sign and promise that our God shall richly supply ALL our needs!

The birth of Jesus fulfilled over 320 prophecies. Everything, down to the gifts the Magi bore unto Jesus were all part of God's plan to bring salvation to the world through His Son. What are you bearing?

The inheritance of the tribes of Simeon, Zebulun, Issachar, Asher, Naphtali, and Dan were apportioned according to God's providence. Let's not settle for less than all that God has apportioned for you.

Take the Christmas IQ test and see how much you know...or don't know about the REAL Christmas story!

The borders for the remaining 7 tribes of Israel were defined. Don't despise the portion that the Lord has given you. Trust that He knows best!

The story of Christmas is a story of God doing the extraordinary through and in the ordinary. Mary's response to the Word of God was that she sang in worship, joy & humility because she knew His character. How do you respond to the promises of God?

"Promises to Receive & Retrieve" The daughters of Zelophehad wanted what God wanted for them and boldly claimed their inheritance, while the sons of Joseph wanted what they thought they deserved and feared the giants in their inheritance.

Jesus entered Jerusalem both triumphantly and prophetically on April 6, 32 A.D., exactly as was stated in Daniel 9. Like everything else, it was all in God's plan. He does this so we can have confidence in Him as our Savior and Lord.

Mary worshiped her Lord by anointing Jesus' feet with a pound of pure nard, and the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume. Sweet aroma is the byproduct or fruit of worship. How does your house smell?

Caleb obeyed God fully but COULD NOT drive out the Jebusites from his inheritance. The tribe of Ephraim, on the other hand, DID NOT drive out the Canaanites from their land. Big difference! Is the "thorn in your side" a "Jebusite" to endure, or a "Canaanite" to drive out?

The religious leaders were blinded from seeing that Jesus was the Son of God by their pre-dispositions, lateral dependencies, agendas, & greed. What's blinding you? Jesus gives sight to the blind. He is the Way, the Truth, & the Life!

Caleb teaches us that a faithful servant doesn't compromise, hangs on to God's Word, always moves forward, and knows their motive. Let's follow God fully and live "full on"!

Jesus raises Lazarus from the dead. Sometimes things must die first in order to be "resurrected". Do you believe that Jesus is the resurrection and the life, and that if you believe in Him, you will live even if you die?

We are called to be "salt & light" to the world. But we must make sure that we are not too salty or blindingly bright. Let's live out our faith in such a genuine way that others will want to know about our God.

In laying down His life, Jesus became the Door through which we enter His fold. In taking it up again by rising, Jesus remains our Good Shepherd, guiding, watching, and tending us, His flock.

The work was done, the inheritance given, but the responsibility was theirs. Have you possessed that which you've been possessed for? Three things to possess: surrender, consecration, & appropriation.

What place does Apologetics have in Evangelism? It is the tool to remove one brick from the wall. Are you ready to share your faith in love?

Shadrach, Meshach, & Abed-nego refuse to worship King Nebuchadnezzar's statue and are thrown into a furnace of blazing fire, but God delivers them out unscathed. God allows us to go through fiery trials to draw us into deeper intimacy with Him.

Jesus is the Shepherd, we are the sheep. He laid down His life for us and calls us to do the same, but He also has the authority to raise it up again...abundantly! When you know "ewe" are loved, you can say, "after ewe"!

Israel was outnumbered as vast armies gathered to fight against them, but the Lord told Joshua not to be afraid. What does the battle look like in your life? Too much to handle? Don't be afraid, God has gone before you and has already won the battle.

The secret to changing the spiritual climate of an area is for God's children to be peacemakers and to lift Jesus up, beginning with prayer. We are to first bless, fellowship, minister, and then proclaim!

This is the prophetic Word of God. Man's wisdom is futile. God's wisdom reigns supreme. Kingdoms will rise and fall, but Jesus reigns forever. He is the stone. Will you come to the stone, or let the stone fall on you?

The enemy came to bring death, but Jesus came to give us abundant life. The abundant life is not about abundance or affluence, but a life filled and empowered by the Holy Spirit. Are you living the abundant life God intends for you?

Because Joshua "went to Gilgal" (i.e., Remembrance, Renunciation, Restoration, & Revelation), the kings of the Amorites were afraid and formed an alliance, were beaten and hid in a cave, and were humbled. Prayerfulness + obedience = victory!

"To Know Me is to Love Me?" Jesus is our shepherd. He knows our name, do we know His voice? He leads us, not drives us. He is patient with us. With Him, we will find pasture and shall not be in want.

Joshua is deceived by the Gibeonites because he did not ask for the counsel of the Lord, since the situation seemed harmless. When we trust in ourselves & lean on our own understanding, we will bring about a lot of suffering and heartache.

The main job of a shepherd is security and provision. Jesus is the "Good Shepherd" and provides us security from yesterday, for today, and tomorrow. Who is your shepherd?

After the Israelites are defeated at Ai, God gives them victory because they followed His Word, will & way. The loss of battle does not mean the war. Strategy + God = Victory!

The blind man saw, chose to believe in Jesus, and responded in worship! But the Pharisees refused to believe and chose to remain blind. We are all born spiritually blind. Will you allow the Lord to heal your blindness?

After their victory at Jericho, the Israelites were defeated at Ai because of disobedience, overconfidence, and lack of prayer. God's power is removed when there's sin in the camp. Let's face our defeat frankly, acknowledge it personally, & confess immediately.

Do we have a Love for God, a Love for His Church, and a Love for His World

The Lord calls Paul and Ananias - one to be a missionary to the ends of the earth, the other to be a missionary to a missionary just down the street. Both required much faith. Both were significant. Where is Jesus calling you? Our response should not be "why", but "what next"?

God gave Jericho to the Israelites. The walls of Jericho fell by their faith in the Lord. It was a "crazy" plan that didn't make sense, but they moved forward, remained silent, and kept the Ark in the center. The battle belongs to the Lord!

Jesus heals a blind man with mud. The mud seemed to make the situation worse, but it drew him to the water to be cleansed. Sometimes things need to get worse before they get better. Will you allow Jesus to cleanse and heal you?

The Lord gave Israel over into the hands of their enemy, Babylon. He will also "give us over" if we allow Satan to degenerate us. Let's be like Daniel and resolve to trust God and keep ourselves pure.

The Muslim population around the world is increasing rapidly. Rejection often comes out of miscommunication. God loves and desires for all to be saved, including Muslims. We are blessed to be a blessing.

God needed to circumcise the Israelites before giving them the land. We too, must submit to the knife of the Great Physician. Four acts of worship - Remembrance, Renunciation, Restoration, & Revelation.

Who's your daddy? A child of God is H.O.L.Y. They Hear, Obey, Live with, and Yearn for the Father.

God commands the Israelites to set up memorial stones after crossing the Jordan River. Remembrance is the source of our strength, faith, and power. Are you a standing stone?

It's natural to appreciate things that do a lot. What does your Christianity do? What's its value? What you do is what you believe.

Joshua leads his people across the Jordan River. The Ark went before them and was the center of everything. Are we willing to let Jesus go before us and be the center of our lives?

What is Truth? Freedom from sin, bondage & burden. What is freedom? Knowing that He is Lord of all - past, present & future. God loves you, made you & died for you. What is your response?

The story of Rahab paints a picture of salvation for us. No matter who you are, what you've done, or where you've been, the blood of Jesus can wash you clean and redeem you.

Jesus confesses that He is God by saying that He is the Light of the world. Who do you say that Jesus is? Liar, lunatic, or LORD?

Moses dies in the wilderness, and God commands Joshua to bring the people into the land of Canaan. Are we still wandering in the desert, or are we walking in the blessing of the Promised Land?

The religious leaders try to set Jesus up in a lose-lose situation by using a woman caught in adultery. Jesus was the only one worthy to cast a stone at her, but refrained because He was more concerned with her rehabilitation than retribution.

Boaz redeems Ruth, the Moabitess and has a son, Obed, the grandfather of King David. Like Boaz, Jesus is our Redeemer, and wants to bless us abundantly.

God chose to lay aside His glory and come as a man to die for our salvation. True humility in Christ costs something. What would the Lord have you bail, to extend the love of God?

Boaz is a picture of Jesus, while Ruth is a picture of the Church. Ruth was blessed by gleaning in Boaz's field. Where are we gleaning? What are we feeding our souls with?

Paul writes to the saints in Philippi from prison. He was physically chained to a guard, but instead of complaining, he saw it as an opportunity to witness. What are we chained to?

Elimelech and his family left Bethlehem and went to Moab because of a famine. During difficult seasons, we should stay in the "house of bread" and not go to the world. But we can always come back to Jesus because of His blood.

Paul's last words to his spiritual son Timothy. As ministers we must reprove, rebuke & exhort in love for the purpose of restoration, and preach Jesus at all times.

Jonah preaches repentance to Nineveh & the entire city repents and is saved. Jonah didn't "have a heart" for Nineveh, but God called him to them. It's not about our love, it's about God's love.

We are commanded to lay down our lives to be witnesses for Christ. When we commit our life to Christ, He commits Himself to us.

The Lord keeps Jonah in the belly of a great fish until he cries out to God and repents. God will send "storms" our way when we are in sin in order to cause us to cry out to Him.

Paul tells Timothy that difficult times will come in these last days. The saints will be persecuted and false teachers will try to lead many astray. Let's gain an appetite for God's Word and live it out!

The book of Jonah is not about the fish/whale. It's not even about Jonah. It's about God...His sovereignty, mercy, & love for all. And missions...Where is God calling you to?

As ministers, we are called to be approved workmen, vessels, and slaves unto the Lord. Are we approved, cleansed, emptied, & available for God?

Lessons on the art of courtship from King Solomon.

Paul teaches us that we, as ministers of Jesus, are called to be like teachers, good soldiers, athletes, and farmers.

God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of Power, Love, & Discipline. Paul knew Jesus and trusted Him with his life and his work/ministry.

Lessons on the art of attraction and dating from King Solomon.

Paul was in prison, but instead of complaining, he wrote a letter of encouragement to Timothy. He was free because he knew his call & where he was going.

No other life has had such an impact on the universe. Who is Jesus? Liar, Lunatic, or LORD?

God sovereignly chooses us to persevere in prayer, and in His glory alone, He answers those prayers.

The problem? Sin. The cure? The empty tomb! We need a blood transfusion. The choice is ours. Will we choose life via a "blood transfusion" from Jesus?

"Superbowl" Sunday! Jesus covered all our sins on the cross, we are forgiven! He is the victor. Who's team are you on?

Palm Sunday is also known as the "Triumphal Entry". But what makes it such, is Who we understand Jesus to be. On this day, God was saying to the world, "This is my Lamb."

Joseph dies at the age of 110. He spent 13 years as a slave, 3 years in prison, but 80 years in the palace. God's got a plan, so stick to the plan because He will surely take care of you.

Jesus tells all who are thirsty to come to Him . We can receive the gift of the Holy Spirit in, with & upon us by: Coming to; Speaking to; and Singing to the Rock (Jesus).

Parent principals from Samuel's life: Give your children back to God; Pray for them; and Discipline in love. Like Samuel, we must minister to the Lord and step into His presence to hear His voice.

Simple Obedience The key to understanding scripture is obedience. Before Jesus can impart His Word effectively to us, He must first cleanse us.

Jacob speaks prophetic blessings over his 12 sons. Who are your people? Who are the people with whom you're most comfortable?

A way of life that will cause our faith to grow: Personal Devotion, Worship Service, Group Life, Meaningful Contribution, & Redemptive Relationship

The three-fold blessing of Jacob: God is the same yesterday, today & forever; God's guidance and provision; and God's protection. God wants to bless us 24/7, but we need to choose to walk in it!

Jesus is the bread of life. All who "eat" of, take in, internalize, trust in Jesus and His message will have eternal life.

Jacob takes his entire family to Goshen to meet Pharoah. What's our zipcode? Are we in the kingdom of "thing-dom" or the Kingdom of Heaven?

Jesus is not just the Savior in the storm, but at times He is also the sender of storms, to give us direction, correction, protection, and perfection.

God brought Joseph out of Egypt in order to provide Pardon, Provision, Praise, & Proximity to his family. Let's surrender to His sovereignty!

David slays Goliath. We serve a LIVING God!

Who do you fear? Man or God? We should have a healthy and respectful fear of God.

Fall on your face, Fan the Flame, Fight the Fear, Feed the Fire, & Fire up the Faithful!

Joseph's brothers return to Egypt with Benjamin and feasted with him.

"Critical Credibility" God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him! Where/who does our validation come from?

Joseph tested his brothers. Before he could bring his family in (to reap the blessings), he needed to know if they were changed (repented).

By the Law, we are judged in Love, and sentenced by His power. 7 defining principles of Jesus' relationship with His Father while on earth.

Jesus heals the sick man at Bethesda. Do we know we are sick? Do we want to get well? Jesus tells us to arise, pick up our pallet, and walk!

Joseph ministered in the midst of being in prison. He noticed, asked, shared, and listened.

The healing of the royal official's son. What matters to God is not that we know of Him, but that we know Him.

To worship in Truth is to worship God through Jesus. KNOW who Jesus is. FEEL satisfied, filled in obedience & mission. DO lift up your eyes (harvest).
