But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth. – Acts 1:8The early church faced intense persecution, forcing believers to scatter beyond Jerusalem.

Jesus Is Standing with You
by Curt Dodd on July 24th, 2024
“And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” (Matthew 28:20) When you serve Christ, you are never alone; Jesus is standing with you. Isn’t that comforting? Isn’t that a great reason and reminder why we should be totally devoted to Christ? I believe so! I know it is easier said than done, especially when we are going through a tough and lonely season. Maybe you are walking thro... Read More

Justifying Your Own Way
by Curt Dodd on October 28th, 2023
Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. (Galatians 6:7-9) It can be difficult to talk about God’s judgment. As a ... Read More

Wait in Obedience
by Curt Dodd on September 14th, 2023
When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them. (Acts 2:1... Read More

Are You Fully Committed To Christ?
by Curt Dodd on July 17th, 2023
For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. – 2 Corinthians 10:3-5Yesterday we began talki...

Seek godly counsel as you make decisions. People will make a huge differen... Read More

Fetching for Jesus
by Curt Dodd on December 12th, 2022
And he said to them, “Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation.” (Mark 16:15)I love to hunt behind dogs, especially behind my own dog. My wife gave me an AKC Irish Setter for a wedding gift. I gave her a watch. (I'm a big romantic.) We named her June because that's when we got married. I began to work with my dog constantly on “coming, staying, and fetching.” It was exc... Read More
