2/7/2025You may have heard it said that a prayerless Christian is a powerless Christian, but let me add that you’re not powerless if you’ll pray!

2/1/2025An invitation to be with someone is a wonderful thing. When we receive an invitation, we suddenly recognize that someone has requested our presence; therefore, they must value us as important to them.

1/17/2025Our God is a God of new beginnings.

1/11/2025For at least 40 years, Joshua looked to Moses as the great problem solver for the people of Israel. He had seen the miracles performed and heard God’s Word spoken through Moses. But Moses was dead, and now Joshua needed the same power to solve problems. 
1/10/2025The twelve spies whom Moses sent in to report on the Promised Land saw the same things.

1/1/2025Happy New Year! Today I want you to see the walls of resistance crumbling before you. I want you to see God taking on your enemies and handcuffing them—they are powerless when you hand them over to the Lord. I want you to see the mountains of impossibility that you are facing being cast into the sea.
12/31/2024Many of us launch into a new year with a handful of resolutions to make the coming months better than those we left behind. Jesus is the one path to true transformation.
12/30/2024By all accounts, this year has seen its share of tragedy and trials. If you are exhausted and disheartened, invite Jesus into the situation. His presence changes everything – even when our circumstances do not.
12/29/2024Wherever Jesus is invited, He makes an appearance! Whether eating in a friend’s home or teaching in the temple, He took a keen interest in the joys and sorrows of ordinary people.
12/28/2024Albert Einstein once said, “There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.” Too many claim to have never seen a miracle when, in reality, we experience too many to count!
12/27/2024Jesus’ claim that we would do greater works than He did seems quite preposterous when we consider all the works that He did!
12/26/2024To us, a Child was born, a Son was given. However, a gift must be accepted before it can be received. If we refuse the proffered gift, it does not belong to us.
12/25/2024When we are children, Christmas Day possesses a special kind of magic all its own. As adults, we still experience that sense of awe as we consider the reason that we celebrate. Isaiah prophesied that Jesus would be known as Wonderful – full of wonder – and oh, how we know it to be true.
12/24/2024The prophet Isaiah spoke of the coming Messiah – from the cradle to the cross, His mission and majesty. He looked ahead to a time when the government would rest on His shoulders, when He would rule from Jerusalem, and exercise dominion over the whole world.
12/23/2024During this Christmas season, we celebrate the Child that was born, and we rejoice that God’s Son was given to us. The word “given” speaks of the preexistence of Jesus. He existed long before He was born here on earth.
12/22/2024Jesus’ earthly journey began like any other infant’s life. He was born of a woman, naked and helpless like every baby. This speaks to us of Christ’s humanity.
12/21/2024Christmas is the celebration of a Child, God’s indescribable gift of love to us. He is the Light of the world, our Hope of glory.
12/20/2024Our Christmas celebration speaks of God’s heart-stopping, breathtaking love story to us. It opens like this: “For God so loved the world….”
12/19/2024God often asks us to let go of a good thing before He will place the better thing into our hands. If He is out in front, pulling us into deeper waters, we cannot stay in place. We must close our eyes, suck in a great gulp of air, and make the leap of faith.
12/18/2024As we look forward to a new year, many of us can honestly say that we really do not know where we are going. As long as we are focused on the One Who does, we can trust that we are headed in the right direction.
12/17/2024By faith, many of us received the promises of God and have believed for the fulfillment of His word to us. We have held on until we are exhausted and disheartened – with no answers in sight.
12/16/2024To take that proverbial leap of faith and place our trust firmly in God, we often must overcome two very significant adversaries: feelings and facts.
12/15/2024The author of Hebrews urged us to hone in on the one thing that helps us run well and cross the finish line victoriously: look to Jesus!
12/14/2024To take that proverbial leap of faith and place our trust firmly in God, we often must overcome two very significant adversaries: feelings and facts.
12/13/2024If we are going to receive the unexpected, overwhelming, beyond-what-we-can-imagine goodness of God, we must willingly make a leap of faith into the hand of a God Who will never fail us.
12/12/2024God created the heavens and the earth from nothing. He formed the man and woman and spoke all life into existence. Yet, our all-powerful Father, Who needed no outside assistance or resources, is looking for something.
12/11/2024God is the Master of unexpected gifts! Grace and mercy are two of His best. We can extend those same gifts to others.
12/10/2024What if, this Christmas, we determined to give our neighbors the same gifts God so freely gives to us? Rather than the person who lives across the street, maybe the neighbor we need to forgive is our parent, sibling or child.
12/9/2024One of the greatest gifts we can bring to Jesus Christ is the act of fully surrendering our lives to Him. He surrendered His life for us.
12/8/2024When Jesus wrapped Himself in flesh and was born to a virgin, wise men from the East came searching for Him. They did not come empty-handed; they brought gifts for the tiny King.
12/7/2024During this joyous season, we reflect on Jesus, the greatest gift God ever gave. And if He freely sent us His precious Son, we know that He will not withhold any good thing.
12/6/2024One star blazing in the night sky was so compelling that the wise men of the East loaded their camels with expensive gifts and followed its light to Jerusalem.
12/5/2024While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. We were prisoners because of the crimes we had committed – slaves to sin, estranged from God.
12/4/2024As believers in Jesus Christ, we can count on our tomorrows being better than our yesterdays. The Spirit of God works in us, with ever-increasing splendor, so that we become more and more like Him.
12/3/2024When we consider only the things that we know, our expertise limits our expectations. We fail to account for a sovereign God Who knows all things.
12/2/2024We can expect the unexpected when we have put our faith in the Lord. But do not expect His reply on our timetable!
12/1/2024Our expectations are not just built on faith. The things for which we hope and believe are influenced by how people have acted in the past.
11/30/2024Our expectations can be hampered by the depth of the relationship that we share with a person. The less we know, the fewer our expectations.
11/29/2024Have you ever considered how influential our expectations are in our outcomes? If we do not expect good things to happen, they usually will not.
11/28/2024On that first Thanksgiving in 1621, William Bradford gathered with about 50 Pilgrims and almost 100 Native American friends to celebrate a bountiful harvest with a three-day feast, games of skill, and military exercises.
11/27/2024When we choose thankfulness in the middle of the trial, the power and presence of God breaks through to bring us victory.
11/26/2024One hundred and fifty years before the Constitution was signed, our forefathers landed on Plymouth Rock – a memorial stone for America.
11/25/2024In just a few days, families will gather around a table with those that we love. As we slice the turkey, dive into the dressing, and savor the pumpkin pie, we will offer thanks for the blessings that we often take for granted.
11/24/2024God knew that we have a tendency to forget, so He encouraged some simple habits to help us remember His wonders.
11/23/2024For all of us, the Lord is the God of yesterday, today, and tomorrow. He knew the needs of today. His grace has brought us this far. Right now, He is going ahead into tomorrow to move the mountains and make the crooked ways straight.
11/22/2024In just a few days, families will gather around a table with those that we love. As we slice the turkey, dive into the dressing, and savor the pumpkin pie, we will offer thanks for the blessings that we often take for granted.
