| | The enemy of the cross by Erlo Stegen
Topic: | | Description: Erlo Stegen speaks of the need for the work of the cross in the life of the believer before we can experience pentecost. He speaks of the true fruit of what a crucified life bears witness of. There are two classes of people, those that are crucified to their wills and lusts or those that are enemies of this cross. Many who profess to be Christians have not crucified their wills and accepted the way of God fully.

| | The Garden of the Lord by Erlo Stegen
Topic: Heart
Scripture(s): Song of Songs 5:1 | | Description: Spiritually my heart and your heart is the garden of the Lord Jesus Christ. He bought that heart, with His own precious Blood. Your life is His garden. We conquer through the Blood of the Lamb (Rev 12:11). With His precious Blood He has redeemed us; not with silver or gold. In a garden you find beautiful flowers, with wonderful fragrance. This garden isn’t just open to anybody. This garden is protected so that no wild animals can enter and damange it. The lives we live should be far more beautiful than human made gardens. Of all different communities and gatherings, nothing is as beautiful as the garden made by Jesus. And so we should reflect that beauty – His beauty in His garden.

| | The Grace of God in this Present Age by Erlo Stegen
Topic: Grace Of God
Scripture(s): Titus 2:11-14 | | Description: We preachers should revive each other so that the Gospel can go forth. Islamists like Gadaffi had said that they will take Europe simply by having more children, while Africa will become Islamic. We Christians should stop betray the Lord like Judas. We must remember who the real enemy, satan is. We find the grace of God first mentioned in the time of Noah, in Gen 6:8, "Noah found favour in the eyes of the Lord". Way back then Noah found grace in God’s eyes. Jesus said in the last days will be a time like the time of Noah. There was sexual immorality and flirting around between boys and girls. And it’s the same today. It reminds one of the large ship built in Britain, the Titanic. After the construction of that ship, which was at that time the largest ship of its time, one of the builders commented that even God cannot sink it. Many booked for its maiden voyage. It traveled through an area full of icebergs, struck one and sank. Most people on the Titanic drowned. At the moment when it struck the iceberg there was a party going on, but when the news spread that it had struck an iceberg, they changed the music to "nearer my God to Thee".

| | The Lord Is My Light by Erlo Stegen
Topic: Presence Of The Lord
Scripture(s): Psalm 27:1 | | Description: The confidence of the Psalmist lies in the Lord. He had experienced the Lord's presence and described it as his light and stronghold. That pertains to the experience of salvation and the promise of victory that He has promised to His people. God is the stronghold of His people because He is their strength. The intimate protection of God gives confidence and banishes fear, regardless of how great our adversaries. We look to the Lord and in His greatness our problems and adversaries become insignificant. Opposition and outright war did not touch him because his heart was strengthened by the Lord. The psalmist longs for God's temple and expresses the intensity of his seeking after God Himself. He desires to dwell in the temple of God for the rest of his life, and to gaze on the Lord's beauty. May we hold onto this word and make it our own.

| | The Lord is My Light by Erlo Stegen
Topic: Salvation
Scripture(s): Psalms 27:1-4 | | Description: On a wedding day everyone is happy, it’s like heaven. But it’s not a small thing. One can compare it to a high mountain. If you as a bridegroom don’t have deep roots, you will be uprooted. And that applies to the bride too. It’s very deep and one of the most important decisions you will ever make. In our text we read that the Lord is my light, and we need that light as well as His salvation. As you go through life you will meet with many difficulties where all you can do is cry to the Lord, "please save me from this". As you meet up with things enough to make you afraid you will need the Lord to be your fortress. And when the wicked come up against you and those that hate you oppose you, then you will need the Lord to be with you that you can overcome. The devil comes in many different ways, not only with his horns and hooves and tail, but also as an angel of light. David goes on to say that even if an army encamps against him he won’t be afraid for he is trusting in God.

| | The One Whom My Soul Loves by Erlo Stegen
Topic: Jesus
Scripture(s): Deuteronomy 6:4–9 | | Description: Have you found the one that your soul loves? Do you love Him more than your parents, your pastor or your counselor. When satan tempted the Lord, Jesus answered Him from God’s Word. He first answered him that man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God. He also answered that you shall worship the Lord your God and Him alone you shall serve. And also that you shall not tempt the Lord your God (Matt 4). We must also find daily bread from Him; that we partake of Him that He brings that daily beauty and sweetness into our lives.

| | The Power of the Blood by Erlo Stegen
Topic: Blood Of Christ
Scripture(s): Hebrews 11:26, Revelation 7:14 | | Description: The life is in the blood. Blood is so complex that even the scientists struggle to fully understand it. For example when you're cut, your body immediately reacts and sends the white blood cells to fight the infection. The dead white blood cells are then expelled as puss. In the same way the Blood of Christ cleanses us from all unrighteousness to counter any poison of sin that enters. The blood is like petrol that allows your body to function. The other members of the body remains in its place, but the blood is present right through your body. The blood also carries oxygen throughout your body. It also gets rid of impurities and acts like a refuse remover. We speak so glibly about the Blood of Christ, little realising what it does. It brings us life and that's why the devil hates it.
