Satisfied
Have you seen a change in your relationship with God over the past year? If you find yourself in a place other than where you want to be, there may be a clear reason why. God calls to His people to return to the source of eternal…
Missing Jesus
In the busyness of December we can miss what Christmas is all about. We have plenty of activity and things to do, but Jesus is missing! Unfortunately we can miss what life is all about the rest of the year too.
We Need A Savior
The saints of old rejoiced as they heard of the Messiah's coming. They interpreted the coming of Jesus as God's merciful saving rescue for the world. How about us? We celebrate that Jesus was born, but do we understand why he came? This…
The Longing Of Our Hearts
The Christmas season is special time of year. We have gatherings, traditions, and decorations which light up our calendars and our hearts. But with these things can also come a let down or emptiness. This feeling can actually point us to…
Hospitality
Hospitality is an important Christian practice that Jesus modeled and the New Testament teaches. Hospitality is more than just entertaining or fellowship with the saints - it is the love of the stranger - the very people in our lives and…
If God Is With Us...
When Moses died, Joshua faced the difficult task of leading God's people in the shadow of Israel's greatest leader. God reassured Joshua by reminding him that He would be with Him. The person leading God's people is not as important as the…
David's Diary (Psalm 51)
King David was a warrior that faced many battles in his life. In what was perhaps his greatest battle, David faces his own sin. Yet the desire of David's heart was to cling to the LORD and be made clean.
David's Diary (Psalm 18)
When you look back at your life, can you see the hand of God throughout the journey? We all may not be where we would have hoped, but we all can be thankful for how God has worked. David gives God praise and thanks as he looks back at his…
David's Diary (Psalm 63)
Though life sometimes deals us difficulty, we always have a choice. A choice to praise or complain, a choice to run to God or run from Him. King David knew the great love of God and chose to praise and run to Him.
David's Diary (Psalm 59)
How do we deal with difficult people in life? From David and his dealings with Saul, we can glean some important lessons to remember when facing folks that make life more challenging.
David's Diary (Psalm 57)
Do you ever feel like your life is one tough thing followed by another difficult thing? Where's the relief? When is it going to stop? David was well acquainted with season like this and his Psalms give us insight and direction to how we…
David's Diary (Psalm 34)
One of the things that makes life with God good, is not the absence of trouble, but the presence of God, even in trouble. Once we know the goodness of God, we realize what life is all about! David knew this good life and longed for others…
David's Diary (Psalm 3)
We often wear masks of smiles and good words to cover up what is really going on in our hearts and homes. Social media gives us the impression that everyone's life is neat and clean while we stare at the mess of our own lives in real time…
God Is Enough (not just a catchphrase)
Every moment, every day: God is enough! May we believe that God is with and for us and take action for Him in light of that truth. A great model for our relationship with God through the life of Gideon.
I Will Be With You
Paul lived a life of devotion to the mission of Christ because he was convinced that his God would never forsake him and that his Lord would always be with him.
God Is Enough
Training and learning is important. Classes, books, and seminars are helpful - but a relationship with God is the most important thing in life. Through that relationship, we have all that we need to be what God says we can be!
Why Do I Feel This Way?
Many Christians look at their emotions as bad things - we should never be sad or angry or lonely. However, God has given us our feelings and emotions as signals to a relationship with Him. Rather than ignoring, suppressing or surrendering…
Why & How We Work
Work is such a big part of our lives. The Scriptures have much to say on the subject of work. As Christians how and why we work is unique opportunity to be different and bring glory to God.
Experiencing God With Your Children
God's heart for our children is for them to come to know Him. He is at work in various ways to draw them to Himself and calls parents, families and churches to join His work. We pray, teach and serve to help them see and know the LORD.
God At Work At Work
God is always working in the world, and certainly He is working at our jobs. Our co-workers may never attend a church, but God has placed His church right where we need to be - at work. May we have a gospel-saturated hearts of compassion…
Church Experience
God wants a relationship, not a religion. What do we want? What part does church play in our lives and what part do we play in the church?
The Best Part Of Eternal Life
When Jesus returns, and eternal life begins, God is going to make all that is wrong with the world right. The end of death and sorrow and the beginning of justice and healing and peace. As exciting as the many parts of the Kingdom of God…
Moses' Experience With God
Ever wonder if you're in the "will of God"? Ever think you're "off" because of how things seem to be going in your life? These negative circumstances may not necessarily mean you're off track. Instead what determines this is the word of…
Experiencing God
God is always working in the world and wants us to join Him in that work. He desires a relationship with each one of us and loves us very much! These transformative realities lead us to experience God Himself!
Making Adjustments
God invites us to join Him in His work, but in order for us to join Him, it requires that we make adjustments in our life. One can’t continue with business as usual or stay where you are and go with God at the same time.
Crisis Of Belief
God’s invitation for us to join Him in His work leads to a crisis of belief that requires faith and action. This "crisis" isn't a disaster or tragedy but a point of decision where we must decide whether we really believe God is who He says…
God Speaks
Every day God is speaking. He speaks to reveal Himself, His purposes and His ways. Via the Holy Spirit, God speaks through the Bible, prayer, circumstances and the church.
God Invites You To Join Him
Do we make plans and hope God blesses them or do we realize God is already working and is inviting us to join HIM in his work? This truth changes the way we look at our lives and the world and leads to fruitfulness and purpose.
A Love Relationship
God is pursuing a love relationship with you. He is at work initiating this relationship with humanity today. In fact, none of us seek this, it's something He initiates and offers. And it is this love from God that fuels and centers our…
God Is At Work
God is always working in the world. This truth affects how we view the world around us and our part in God's story. Rather than struggling to "do something" for God, we first watch for what God is already at work doing around us.
Tell Your Children
It is the task of the current generation to teach, tell and talk of the wonders of the LORD and His gospel. We are each called to point to His greatness and call them to follow His ways. In this great work we must not just speak of what…
Spiritual Nutrition
Our bodies are designed to eat food in order to receive the nourishment we need to live. If we eat too much we don't function as we should and the same is true if we don't eat enough. God doesn't want us to be spiritual starved nor obese…
Praise God
The LORD is so great, worthy of praise! Humanity was created to praise Him and declare his greatness! We are called to praise Him ourselves, speak of His goodness to each other, and tell the nations about our God!
People Of The Word
Christians should be "Bible people". The Bible is our source for God's word and through it He speaks to us today. A look at a great example of a generation who had an amazing heart for the God's word.
