Transformational Giving
on October 5th, 2025
Now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness. You will be enriched in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God. (2 Corinthians 9:10-11) We looked at four ways God enjoys our act of giving. Today, we will ... Read More

Engaged Giving
on October 4th, 2025
Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. (2 Corinthians 9:7) Mary therefore took a pound of expensive ointment made from pure nard, and anointed the feet of Jesus and wiped his feet with her hair. The house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume. (John 12:3) As followers of Jesus, we are called... Read More

Anger Management
on October 3rd, 2025
But the Lord replied, “Is it right for you to be angry?” (Jonah 4:4) If you are human, you wrestle with the issue of anger. If you fail to admit it, you live in denial. Now, don’t get me wrong. I didn’t say everyone wrestles with the symptoms of anger management like explosive outbursts, increased vocal volume or fitful facial expressions. Some of us have learned to stuff it deep down and wrestle ... Read More

Bankrupt at All Cost
on October 2nd, 2025
“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” (Matthew 5:3) How much money do you have in the bank? We don’t want to be overdrawn; instead, we desire to be flush with cash at all times. It is the American dream…to have more than you need! When Jesus spoke about poverty of spirit, it cut across the grain of His hearers. In fact, most people in His day thought that the reall... Read More

Think Before You Speak
on October 1st, 2025
Now this is what the Lord Almighty says: “Give careful thought to your ways.” (Haggai 1:5) What a probing verse! It is not a friend or a parent who challenges us today; rather, it is the Lord Himself! “Give careful thought to your ways.” There are so many things we do each and every day without a second thought. Some things are done out of habit or possibly impulse, having learned and repeated c... Read More

The Power of Your Story
on September 30th, 2025
"God has raised this Jesus to life, and we are all witnesses of it." (Acts 2:32) When Peter stood up at Pentecost, he didn't just quote Scripture—though he did plenty of that. He didn't just explain theology—though his teaching was rock solid. What grabbed hearts that day was when he said, "We are all witnesses of it." Peter shared his experience with Jesus. Here's what I want you to understand: y... Read More

Falling At The Feet Of Jesus
on September 29th, 2025
When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. Then he placed his right hand on me and said: “Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last. (Revelation 1:17) In today’s key verse, we read about an encounter, a personal encounter, that John had with Jesus. When John saw Jesus, he fell at His feet like dead. It completely overpowered him. I want you to think about that for a minute. Have you... Read More

Falling Asleep At The Wheel
on September 28th, 2025
Wake up! Strengthen what remains and is about to die, for I have found your deeds unfinished in the sight of my God. Remember, therefore, what you have received and heard; hold it fast, and repent. But if you do not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what time I will come to you. (Revelation 2:2-3) On our honeymoon, Ginger and I decided that we would drive from Houston to... Read More

Faith and Understanding
on September 27th, 2025
“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord. “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.” - Isaiah 55:8-9 We live in a culture where knowledge and intelligence are highly valued and sought after. Just like the old saying goes, “Knowledge is power.” We believe the more we know, the... Read More

Experiencing God’s Presence With Other Believers
on September 26th, 2025
And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another -- and all the more as you see the Day approaching. – Hebrews 10:24-25 On February 3, 1970, a revival broke out at Asbury University in Kentucky. It created a movement of God, and students stayed in the chapel for an extended... Read More

Experiencing Christ’s Fullness
on September 25th, 2025
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast. (Ephesians 2:8-9) As Christians, we all want to experience Christ’s fullness in its totality. In other words, we want to experience all that a relationship with the Lord has to offer. But how do we do that? How do we receive the fullness of Christ? ... Read More

Expect God To Use You
on September 24th, 2025
Not 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 the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen. (Ephesians 3:20-21)For those of us who are followers of Jesus, we all have a desire for God to use us. We want our lives to count for something, and we want to take par... Read More
