Where Is Fear Silencing Your Faith?
Where Is Fear Silencing Your Faith? Last Sunday we talked about something every Christian deals with sooner or later: worrying about what other people think.

What’s Hiding In The Closet Of Your Heart?
What’s Hiding in the Closet of Your Heart? Most of us have a closet somewhere in the house where we put the things we do not want to deal with. When company is coming, we straighten the rooms everyone will see. Then we gather the clutter, shove it into that closet, and close the door. […]
What To Do When God Has Already Spoken
WHAT TO DO WHEN GOD HAS ALREADY SPOKEN Have you ever wished God would just give you a sign? Lord, should I do this? Should I go there? Should I take this step? Just make it clear. There is nothing wrong with asking God for wisdom. Scripture actually tells us to ask. But there is […]

Many of us wake up with the desire to honor God, yet by the end of the day realize […]
Love Takes A Detour
Love Took A Detour Have you ever noticed that interruptions often become God’s appointments? The story of the Good Samaritan begins with a man lying broken and bleeding on the side of the road. Several people saw him. Only one stopped. The priest and the Levite kept walking. The Samaritan had compassion. The difference wasn’t […]
Looking for a Loophole
LOOKING FOR A LOOPHOLE Luke 10:25–29 Have you ever noticed how easy it is to compare yourself to other people? We naturally measure ourselves against those around us and conclude, “I’m not perfect, but I’m not as bad as that person.” We reassure ourselves by pointing to the good things we’ve done or the obvious […]
