The Power of Your Platform
by Curt Dodd on April 27th, 2025
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. When he saw Jesus, he pointed others to Him by simply saying, “Look, the Lamb of God!” Two of his disciples heard this and began to follow Jesus.You may think, “I’m no spiritual teacher.” But if someone l...

Trust in God Alone
by Curt Dodd on December 29th, 2024
“You then, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable people who will also be qualified to teach others. Join with me in suffering, like a good soldier of Christ Jesus. No one serving as a soldier gets entangled in civilian affairs, but rather tries to please his commanding officer.” 2 Timothy 2...

How To Honor God
by Curt Dodd on February 6th, 2024
As evening approached, there came a rich man from Arimathea, named Joseph, who had himself become a disciple of Jesus. Going to Pilate, he asked for Jesus’ body, and Pilate ordered that it be given to him. Joseph took the body, wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, and placed it in his own new tomb that he had cut out of the rock. He rolled a big stone in front of the entrance to the tomb and went aw...

by Curt Dodd on December 4th, 2023
With the help of Silas, whom I regard as a faithful brother, I have written to you briefly, encouraging you and testifying that this is the true grace of God. Stand fast in it. She who is in Babylon, chosen together with you, sends you her greetings, and so does my son Mark. Greet one another with a kiss of love. Peace to all of you who are in Christ. - 1 Peter 5:12-14Nothing is more powerful than... Read More

Engaged Giving
by Curt Dodd on October 3rd, 2023
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 call... Read More

Perseverance
by Curt Dodd on September 21st, 2023
Somehow we “persevere” through failed relationships, snarled traffic, long lines at the grocery store and even repeated losing seasons by our favorite college football team. Sure we can hire a new coach, play games on our phones to pass time, honk our horns in frustration, get divorced and remarry. These are examples of problems we all face every day and our general, human attempt to solve them. B... Read More

You Can’t Out-Give God
by Curt Dodd on July 28th, 2023
“Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.” (Luke 6:38) We mentioned how generosity is a major part of God’s character. He is a very giving Father who loves giving good gifts to His children. You might have heard it said, “You can’t out-give God.” When yo... Read More

Get off the Bench
by Curt Dodd on January 19th, 2023
“So, because you are lukewarm -- neither hot nor cold -- I am about to spit you out of my mouth.” (Revelation 3:16)Many people have already given their life to Christ. Many Christians are suited up and trained up, but there is a problem. Many believers today need to get up. You should feel a little uncomfortable if you are not getting up. Are you a benchwarmer? You know Christ and you have been f... Read More
