Open the Gates
by Ministry Support on February 27th, 2026
I had a wonderful worship experience in Nairobi, Kenya. I haven’t been in a worship service like this one where I saw God's Spirit move mightily since the early seventies. Maybe it was because they sang for over an hour nonstop, with no break. They worshiped extravagantly before the Lord with pure joy. These people have nothing. This is one of the poorest areas in Nairobi, yet they sang with the joy of people who were lacking nothing. Read More

Replacing God
by Ministry Support on February 23rd, 2026
One of the tragedies that we see in our nation every day is that we have forgotten the Lord and have replaced Him with our activity. Think about that for a moment. Many people want to do the activities of religion, rather than actually knowing the Lord intimately. Read More

Never Stop Worshiping
by Ministry Support on February 15th, 2026
The angels never stop worshiping. Night and day, they continue to worship the Lord; they never stop. That needs to apply to us; because they don't stop, we shouldn't stop. That doesn't mean you sing songs all the time, but you are honoring God all the time. Nothing is more important than for you to stay lined up with Him when you worship Him. If you are having a difficult time aligning and looking at the throne, you need to worship until you are aligned with the throne, and then stay right there. Read More

When God Nudges Your Heart
by Jared West on January 31st, 2026
"Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts." — Hebrews 3:15 I need to change this worship service right now. Have you ever had that moment? When you're in the middle of something planned, something organized, and God speaks to your heart? If there's a persistent tug on the inside, you need to respond immediately because this worship service belongs to Him. It doesn't belong to me. It... Read More

Why Don’t We Worship?
by Curt Dodd on June 15th, 2025
“But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel.” – Psalm 22:3 (KJV)Worship is very, very important! Everyone knows something about worship. But in reality, many people do not know much. However, we do know if we have been in the presence of God because we have felt it and sensed His presence. It has nothing to do with volume or performance. It depends on whether Jesus is honored ... Read More

The Aroma of Holiness
by Curt Dodd on May 13th, 2025
But now he has reconciled you by Christ's physical body through death to present you holy in his sight, without blemish and free from accusation. (Colossians 1:22) Have you ever noticed how some things just cling to you? Yesterday I sat by my fire pit enjoying the flames. When I finally went inside, my wife called from three rooms away: "You smell like smoke!" That smoke had worked its way into my... Read More

Never Stop Worshiping
by Curt Dodd on September 3rd, 2024
All the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures. They fell down on their faces before the throne and worshiped God. (Revelation 7:11) When we worship, we join heaven. Do you realize that nothing is more important than aligning your life with the will and purpose of God in worship? The angels never stop worshiping. Night and day, they contin... Read More

Fall At Jesus’ Feet
by Curt Dodd on August 25th, 2024

(Revelation 1:17)In today’s key verse, we read about a personal encounter that John had with Jesus. When John saw Jesus, he fell at His feet like dead. It completely overpowered him.Think about that for a minute. Have you ever had an experience like that ... Read More

Focus on the Giver
by Curt Dodd on August 8th, 2024
There was a man sent from God whose name was John. He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all might believe. He himself was not the light; he came only as a witness to the light. (John 1:6-8) Because He is so gracious, compassionate, and kind, God gave us many gifts to help us grow and mature in our walk with Him. He gave us the local church so we could belong ... Read More

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

Replacing God
by Curt Dodd on September 7th, 2023
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) One of the tragedies that we see in our nation every day is that we have forgotten the Lord and have replaced Him with our activity. Think about that for a moment. Many people want to do the activities of religion, rather than... Read More

Willingness To Pay the Price
by Curt Dodd on August 2nd, 2023
“But there are some Jews whom you have set over the affairs of the province of Babylon -- Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego -- who pay no attention to you, O king. They neither serve your gods nor worship the image of gold you have set up.” (Daniel 3:12) Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego were three young men caught in the web of a pagan nation’s immoral edicts and laws. Trapped in a vicious ploy of ... Read More

Qualities of a Church
by Curt Dodd on May 6th, 2023
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God. (Colossians 3:16) Yesterday, we discussed three qualities that are important to look for in a church home. Today, we will continue that list and discuss a few more important qualities to consider when looking for a... Read More

It’s All About Jesus
by Curt Dodd on September 3rd, 2022
For they all seek their own interests, not those of Jesus Christ. (Philippians 2:21) I accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior when I was 12 years old. The moment I turned from sin and placed my faith in Jesus Christ, I rode my bicycle home singing and praising God. Filled with joy, I made up words to a new song. (I wish I had written the words down because I thought they were pretty good at the time... Read More
