The Lord Encourages Us
on May 8th, 2025
Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path. (Psalm 119:105) When you need encouragement, where do you turn? Do you listen to someone? Do you call your parents or your best friend? Do you ask your Bible study teacher for a word of encouragement? If you are looking to other people for encouragement, you will never be satisfied with what they tell you. You will always be left wanting more.... Read More

God Uses Our Waiting
on May 7th, 2025
“As for Sarai your wife, you are no longer to call her Sarai; her name will be Sarah. I will bless her and will surely give you a son by her.” (Genesis 17:15-16) Are you waiting for something right now? Are you waiting for a small item, or something big, like a spouse, or a child or a grandchild? No matter what you are expecting, waiting is never easy. We are impatient creatures who want what w...

Dancing to a Different Beat
on May 6th, 2025
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. (Galatians 5:22-23) The battle for your soul is happening right now. Our culture isn't just disagreeing with God's Word—it's aggressively at war with it. And if you're honest, there are days when you feel like a soldier caught between two armie... Read More

Who’s On Your Heart?
on May 5th, 2025
Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ. - Galatians 6:2When Jesus says to give to the needy, we might ask: Who are the needy? They may not look like it. It could be your boss, dealing with pressure. A coworker whose marriage is on the rocks. Someone too proud to ask for help, or too self-conscious to admit they have a need. Often, we pass by people carrying ... Read More

The Beauty of Secret Giving
on May 4th, 2025
But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. - Matthew 6:3–4When you give to the needy, don’t let your left hand know what your right hand is doing. That means—don’t applaud yourself. Don’t keep a record of what God allows you to give. Don’t giv... Read More

Jesus Wants You
on May 3rd, 2025
In you, Lord, I have taken refuge; let me never be put to shame; deliver me in your righteousness. Turn your ear to me, come quickly to my rescue; be my rock of refuge, a strong fortress to save me. Since you are my rock and my fortress, for the sake of your name lead and guide me. Keep me free from the trap that is set for me, for you are my refuge. Into your hands I commit my spirit; deliver me,... Read More

Seek God First
on May 1st, 2025
But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. (Matthew 6:33) In God’s perfect timing, He will use every detail of your life for His Glory. Anything you have gone through, God can use. You can say, “I'm so broken. I'm so ruined. I'm so damaged.” That doesn’t mean God can’t redeem you. Do you feel like damaged goods? Is there something you ... Read More

God Can Use You

Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen. (Ephesians 3:20-21) If we are followers of Jesus, we have a desire for God to use us. We want our lives to count for something, and we want to take part in the growth and e... Read More

Breaking Through Self-Absorption
on April 29th, 2025
"Praise the Lord. Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him in his mighty heavens. Praise him for his acts of power; praise him for his surpassing greatness." (Psalm 150:1-2) Have you ever caught yourself thinking more about how you look during worship than about who you're worshiping? I sure have. Last Sunday, I was leading worship and caught myself wondering if people noticed the new guitar I was ... Read More

on April 28th, 2025
“Nazareth! Can anything good come from there?” Nathanael asked. “Come and see,” said Philip. – John 1:46When Jesus called Philip, he followed—and then immediately went to his friend Nathanael. He said, “We have found the one Moses wrote about… Jesus of Nazareth.” Nathanael responded skeptically, “Nazareth! Can anything good come from there?” But Philip didn’t argue.

Look, the Lamb of God! – John 1:36John the Baptist was a teacher and prophet who helped cast a vision that swept across Israel. He preached a message of repentance and prepared the way for Jesus.
