The Church Is Family
Pam Bzdyra
God is our Father, Jesus is our brother – and that makes us brother and sisters in Christ. Rather than an organization or a business, the Bible speaks of the church as a family. Looking at each other as a family will help us honor and care for each other as our Father in heaven […]
Parables (Part 8) – The Persistent Widow
Pam Bzdyra
It’s easy to quit when we don’t get what we want or need in our time. In part 8 of our series on the parables of Jesus, we learn about the need for persistence in prayer from a nameless widow in search of justice. Jesus calls us to pray and not lose heart.

In part 3 of our series on the parables of Jesus we look at the “wheat and the tares”. Jesus teaches that there are two kind of people in the world. Despite morality or success, we are either on the way towards eternal life or death. We determine which in this life as we stay […]

There are a number of things that motivate a believer. The love of God, fear of the LORD, and eternal rewards. Each are important and have a unique power to motivate us to live for the LORD.

Pam Bzdyra

Your Kingdom Come You Will Be Done
Pam Bzdyra
Prayer is both important and difficult. Jesus gives us a great guide for our prayers, what we call “the Lord’s prayer.” The second thing he tells us we should pray is that God’s kingdom would come, and that His will would be done, on earth as it is in heaven. This is double layered prayer […]
