Transformed by the Spirit - Audio
November 7, 2017
In this important teaching, we look at how change and transformation takes place in the believer's life. Change, true change, only comes by the power and presence of the Holy Spirit. The prophet Samuel spoke over King Saul and told him that when the Spirit of the Lord came upon him in power, he would prophesy and be changed into a different person. He would be a totally different man when the Holy Spirit came up him. In Ezekiel 36, we...
Treasure In Earthen Vessels - Audio
May 6, 2017
Spoken at the Northwest Convention in Prineville, Oregon on the theme of 2 Corinthians 4:7, Pastor Charlie covers 2 Corinthians 4:1-9 verse by verse. We have such a powerful ministry in the gospel that it can transform lives. It is a ministry of the new covenant, based on the life, not death, righteousness, not condemnation, the Spirit, not law, an unveiled face, not one veiled. It is a ministry that we have received by the mercy of God. With...
Trust - Though He Slay Me - Audio

Using humorous personal stories of trust based on Proverbs 3:5-6 and Psalm 118:8-9, Pastor Charlie again exhorts believers to not rely on own understanding, wisdom and expertise.

He alone know more about your body than the best doctor; He alone knows more about your car tan the best mechanic; He alone knows more about your computer than the best repairman; He alone knows more about your marriage and...

This is a verse by verse MP3 audio teaching of Mark 8:27-38. This is a very intense exchange between Jesus and the apostles.

We also look at Ephesians 5:25-27 and see that Jesus died for the church to make it holy. He uses...

Virtues of Christ in Christians - Audio
January 14, 2019
This is a verse by verse teaching of 2 Peter 1:5-15, especially verses 5 through 7 on the virtues of Christian living. Peter teaches us to take what God has worked in us and work it out in our daily lives.

To lack them makes you blind. If we do them, we...
