What a gift God has given us in His Spirit!

We are in error if we believe we are anything at all without Jesus. He alone offers hope, salvation and life.

I will never understand the goodness and grace of God completely. How could He love someone like me?

Like Moses’ journey, God doesn’t promise us it will be easy. But, I have found the best things in life are often the things we work hardest at.

Death to self is part of the believer’s life.

God is the Good Shepherd, and we must willingly follow His leading.

Can you cast away the pride and accept what Jesus offers you?

The truth may hurt, it may offend, but it is the truth. May we speak it in love and grace to those that are broken and in desperate need.

Cultivating humility in our daily walk should be a priority.

If He could forgive me for the things I have done, how can I not forgive someone else?

The one who waters will himself be watered. Welcome to week 2 of “Words of Life: A Lifeword Poetry Series.”

Let God cleanse you and restore you to your created purpose!

Jesus came to bear all the sins of all the people who ever lived on earth. He did this for you, for me, for all of us so that we could receive a relationship with God and experience His forgiveness and His transforming love.

What are we willing to give up to follow the Lord?

I love how God worked in this messy story and brought blessing from brokenness, good from sin, faithfulness to the unfaithful. God is so good to us in our brokenness!

Jesus took the punishment so that we could have a deep and meaningful relationship with God and experience Him in supernatural, life-changing ways.

God has gifted each of our kids for His Kingdom.

Does God hear our prayers? And if so, will He always respond?

The more we know, the more we can grow in our relationship with the Lord.

Will you intentionally revisit The Cross of Easter this year? Will it be the focus and priority of your celebration?

Prayer is powerful, especially when we have a willing heart that trusts that God is working good from every detail in our lives.

We’re excited to announce, Words of Life: A Lifeword Poetry Series. Each Wednesday in April we will be sharing poetry from some of our gifted writers. We hope you’ll join us for this series!

The really cool thing about redemption is this: it isn’t just a one-time deal! Jesus can redeem us every day – anytime, anyplace.

Would you be able to take a stand on your faith even if you were the only one? Even if it was hard? Even if it hurt?

Jesus took as much time and gentleness with Judas as He did with the other disciples who were loyal to Him. What a beautiful picture of Jesus’ love for us, even amid our grievous sin.

Friends, whatever pain you have, trust God through it. He will show up at just the right time. He can redeem your pain, and bring wholeness out of brokenness. 

Jesus Christ has dealt with our shame, and now we can live in freedom!

Enjoy your spring flowers, and when you see them, let them remind you of the love and faithfulness of One who created them for you to enjoy!

It’s time that we draw closer to that mountain. We, too, must go to it and fall on our knees in prayer to our Heavenly Father. The time is near for the return of Christ.

Can we serve the least of these with love and humility? Can we humble ourselves in the way Jesus did?

Make certain that you always prepare a place of honor for Jesus in your Easter celebration.

Jesus’s love knows no boundaries. Does yours?

Put aside your fears and worries that have come from life. Trust Jesus. Run to the Father, His arms are open wide and He’s ready to save you!

Fearing God opens the door to experiencing God on a deeper level in our lives. It opens the door to His blessing!

But who is God if not higher than us? Surely, we cannot know the mind of God and understand everything there is to know!

When things seem like they are falling apart, don’t mistrust God’s heart.

Be the salt of the earth! Be His!

Christ has called His followers to be sanctified. This means to be set apart, to be holy. What sin remains in your life that needs to be removed?

What are you giving to others that originated from your intimacy with the Lord?

Ask questions and search out the answers. Let the Holy Spirit guide you as you discover more and more.

Friend, you can’t do it alone. Whatever it is, it won’t work without the help of the Almighty Father.

Even today, sometimes, it is better to watch and listen for God’s voice.

Life can be messy and hard, and it can be a struggle to see God in it all. But, stories like this remind us that God is a God of mercy and grace.

God’s joy is present, even in the hardest moments.

God is with us as we release our children into His care.

Turn your eyes upon Jesus. You’ll find He is worthy of honor, praise, glory, suffering, and even death.

If God did it for Patrick, He can do it for you, too. He has a knack for bringing good from the pain in our lives. All we have to do is love and trust Him to do it.

What if Jesus asked you that question today, “Whom do you say that I am?” What would you say? Would you repeat what others have told you? Would you bank on their knowledge? Or would you be able to give a first-hand account to your own experience with Jesus?

Hand Him the pieces, the missteps, the blunders, and watch what God can do with your brokenness.

Whether it is relationships, our faith in Christ, discipleship, Jesus instructs us that it comes in steps. We can’t jump straight to the end. There’s work to be done to get there.
