×In the Old Testament. Priests and their idiosyncracies would come and go. But pastor Ray Bentley says, under the New Covenant, Jesus is our priest. The beauty of the New covenant and our perfect grace Jesus. Number one, he is a man. So he resonates with us, but also he is perfect. He never has a bad day. He is always the same.…
Ever wonder what God may have been thinking and giving us the law? Pastor Ray Bentley says it's God's message about an eternal truth. You guys don't understand how radical sin is. Therefore, I'm going to give you an original covenant. The law and in the law, I will teach you the radical nature of my holiness, and I will teach you how radical sin is.…
Pastor Ray Bentley says those who followed God in the Old Testament yearn for the same thing that New Testament believers do. Access to God was the goal of every believer in the law. They wanted to access into God's presence. It would mean that if you were accepted into the presence of God, that your sins had been forgiven. And it also coming into the presence of the Lord would involve an exposure to the glory of his holiness.…
An uncomfortable dose of truth from pastor Ray Bentley. There are enemies who want to rob and steal and kill and take captive your precious children. It might be your own son or your own daughter. It might be literally a niece or nephew. It might be your grandchildren. That's why in every generation God says, I need men and women of faith.…
Pastor Ray Bentley draws on Paul's rich assurances about the steadfastness of our salvation. There is an eternal security of salvation for those who have placed their faith in Jesus Christ, and a full assurance of hope to the end. As long as we continue to walk with him and not become sluggish, but imitating those who, through faith and patience, inherit the promises spread.…
Sin separates us from God. But pastor Ray Bentley reminds us God is an expert at forgiving sin. For we know that God is gracious. God is merciful. God is long suffering. God is patient. We know that he doesn't reward us according to our iniquities. But as high as the heavens are above the earth, so are his mercies toward those who love him.…
Pastor Ray Bentley points out, God is looking for conduits of blessing, not repositories, a mark of spiritual growth and maturity as being able to share biblical truth with others. It's not a personal bless me club. It's not just all about you, it is about others beginning with outside of you to God and loving him with all your heart, soul, mind and strength.…
Veteran Christians should be maturing Christians. But pastor Ray Bentley says, we never reach a place where we've grown enough. There is a time in every believer's life where they go. You know, I've read the Bible, but you can reach a point where you think, you know, I kind of know it. I kind of have heard it. I've asked the questions, and now I have the answers.…
In the Old Testament, priests had special access to God. Today, pastor Ray Bentley reminds us that now we are priests. You and I, now in this age, are priests. We are members of a royal priesthood. We, as we come in contact with the world, are representing God in our humanity and our weakness with all of our problems. So I just wanted to remind you that you are priests.…

Today on Maranatha Radio. Pastor Ray Bentley gives us fresh insights on prayer. We are encouraged to enter the throne room of God, and we're going to leave with the idea of bringing to God His own word and his own promises and saying, Lord, you said. And now I am coming before your throne of grace and mercy. I'm merely asking you to do that.…
Pastor Ray Bentley says we need to make our study of the scriptures personal. When you do a Bible study and you hear the word and read it daily, find a promise that you are going to claim. And that's where Christianity becomes exciting, a life and personal. When God answers a prayer, when a promise becomes something tangible that you see evidence and fruit in your life that is making a difference.…
The Christian life can seem difficult. But pastor Ray Bentley says that's not the Lord's intention. In Jesus Christ, the gift of God to you and me is a perpetual, ongoing Sabbath of rest, of open communion with God, of fellowship, of relaxing, of not living life in my own strength, power, ability, but trusting in the Lord.…
We are all looking forward to the Promised Land. But pastor Ray Bethel says the Lord has his eye on another, often unconquerable land. There's another territory that is the most valuable piece of real estate in the universe to him. It is a territory that he wants so badly. There is nothing that he will not sacrifice in order that he might possess this particular land.…
Today on Maranatha radio. Pastor Ray Bentley explains why we all have a natural yearning for a relationship with God. If our hearts are made with eternity. That means you have an infinite gaping hole, and only that which is infinite itself can fill that hole. And the only thing that's infinite is God. Therefore, the more of the Lord God you fill your heart with, the more rest, peace, and fulfillment will come to your life.…

Are all the benefits of being a believer stored up for us on the other side of eternity. Pastor Ray Bentley says no, there's abundant life here as well. Heaven is not merely your future destination. Heaven is something that you can taste here and now because you know what makes heaven? Heaven. What makes heaven heavenly is Jesus, wherever Jesus is.…
I wonder if I speak to anyone that says, man, I need more peace. I need more rest in my soul. Pastor Ray Bentley points to where we can find real peace and rest for our souls. The harder the things go and the worse in one sense that the outside becomes and the greater the pressure becomes more and more a precious commodity clinging to the source of rest and peace Jesus Christ spread.…

There's only one person allowed to be worshiped in all of heaven, and that is God. Pastor Ray Bentley says, God the Son is superior to angels. Angels worship Christ because they recognize him as of a totally different and superior nature to theirs. They are the servants of the father and the son. They are the winds and the flames fulfilling his purpose in spreading.…

f we could somehow pull back the veil separating this world from the spiritual world, we may be surprised at what we see.

And yet, when compared to Jesus Christ, he is far superior.…

Pastor Ray Bentley says. So many think in the give and take of love, it's better to take rather than be taken. That's the world's idea of love. It's very much a 5050. What are you going to do for me? What have you done for me lately? And that's why it falls apart so many times. There's no commitment. There's nothing there. That's not what the Bible says. Love is.

So take your passions and pour them out before God and let God order them. Because when God can take that intense, raw, powerful emotion and focus it according to his will, he can do great and mighty things.…

He owns you in that sense. But then, because we ran away, he had to buy us back. But if that is true, because we no longer belong to ourselves, we should no longer live for ourselves.…
