Praying for Our Country
by Curt Dodd on July 4th, 2023
I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people – for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness.

Refuel Your Spirit
by Curt Dodd on December 1st, 2022
Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness, where for forty days he was tempted by the devil…When the devil had finished all this tempting, he left him until an opportune time.  (Luke 4:1-2, 13)During Jesus’ time on earth, He was tempted just like we are tempted.
