Social Distancing Together

Social Distancing Together As we are in our second year of social distancing. Mental, emotional, relational, physical, and spiritual exhaustion is affecting more and more people. I want to encourage all of us not to give into the temptation to cave as a way of dealing with isolation. It looks funny on paper, but we often deal with depression and discouragement by stepping away form others. We are created in the image of God and that means we are highly…

A Message from Franklin Graham

We Cannot Remain Silent! The Equality Act is a dangerous threat to our nation. I am writing to you about a very dangerous piece of legislation—the Equality Act. The Biden Administration has said they want to pass this within their first 100 days. I cannot say this more emphatically—for people, for businesses, and for ministries of faith, the Equality Act is a threat to life as we know it in our nation today. It’s a real game-changer. The Equality Act will: • Designate…

Hearing from God In Times Of Confusion

Hearing From God In Times Of Confusion Who helps you discover the right path when you are confused?                         Last week I talked on the video about being on the right path that God has for us (Psalm 25:1-4). This week I want us to look at how we can have the right vision to see the path we need to take. Psalm 25:9 “He guides the humble in what is right and teaches them his way”. Admit that you…

Courage In A Hostile Culture (Stories From Daniel)

Living at a time where we often find ourselves alone or shut in, how can we stay mentally, emotionally, relationally, and spiritually healthy? Is it possible to live a life of faith within a hostile culture? Can our prayers really effect how things turn out? Even when the cost was high, Daniel and his friends honored God, even though they lived far from their actual home. Join us as we learn from a few Israelites how to be ambassadors for…

We Can’t Drink Lemonade From Crushed Eggplants

We Can’t Drink Lemonade From Crushed Eggplants How have you noticed your behavior change because of how you chose to think about something? Galatians 6:7     Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. What you plant is what you harvest. You can’t plant squash and be disappointed that you didn’t get oranges. You can’t plant anger, resentment and hostility and get peace, joy and love. If you sow resentment and cynicism into your…

God Rules His Way!

God Rules His Way! How does God show you that He is directing your path                                    when you are walking through a difficult time in your life? Isaiah 45:1-7                                                                                             “This is what the Lord says to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I take hold of to subdue nations before him and to strip kings of their armor, to open doors before him so that gates will not be shut: 2 I will go before you and will level the…

Dont Let Your Feelings Rule You

Don’t Let Your Feelings Rule You Joshua 1:9                                                                                                                                  Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” When I was growing up, I remember feeling scared that if I gave my life to Jesus, I would end up in Africa traipsing through the jungle. I wasn’t made for that kind of life so maybe I would look at Jesus more…

Don’t Throw Spears

Don’t Throw Spears Psalm 18:2  The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer, My God, my rock, in whom I take refuge; My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. As I was watching the news today, I was reminded that words like respect, graciousness and politeness have been lost in our political discourse. It’s times like this that I’m glad I’m not on Facebook. There are a lot of angry people going at one…
