God Is Our Provider

“And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus” - Philippians 4:19God is in the business of providing your needs. That may include food, water, and shelter, which are basic needs for survival. And it also may include the restoration of your spirit in the midst of brokenness. We need to remember that our God is our Provider. I love what Paul writes in Phil... Read More

The Lord Encourages Us
by Curt Dodd on February 8th, 2024
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.

Our Need For Accountability and Encouragement
by Curt Dodd on July 30th, 2023
And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, 25 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 10:24-25The word “Ekklesia” is the Koine Greek word for church. It is a compound word, “ek” (the preposition, which means “out of”) and “kaleo” (to call). The word ... Read More

Craving Spiritual Milk
by Curt Dodd on May 21st, 2023
Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation, now that you have tasted that the Lord is good. (1 Peter 2:2-3)As we look at this Scripture passage, we see there is an analogy of being a child, and having a desire for spiritual milk.

Have No Fear
by Curt Dodd on April 18th, 2023
So we say with confidence, “The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?” (Hebrews 13:6) Let’s talk about the disciple John for a moment. John was the youngest of all the disciples. He was a fisherman; when he began to follow Christ, his life would never again be the same. The Bible tells us that John was the only apostle who made it all the way to the cross. John d... Read More

Help Bear Their Burdens
by Curt Dodd on February 27th, 2023
