Begin today to expect challenges and be prepared with a Godly perspective to see the difficulties as a journey of moving closer to God and experience them as Nehemiah, one faithful brick at a time.

Wherever you are, whatever is going on, I want you to know that there is a God who created you and loves you and cares about you. Not only is He working in your life for your good, but also for those around you.

There is a light that shines in the darkness and is ready to guide you to peace. Call out to Jesus to rescue you.

Are your actions and attitude reflecting those of a disciple of Jesus Christ?

What fears and worries do you need to lay at His feet in surrender?

Think you aren’t VIP material? You are in the eyes of the LORD! He is ready and willing to use us, we just have to surrender to Him.

Pruning is painful, but it’s necessary and causes us to become the person God had in mind when He created us!

Do we look for detours of comfort and convenience, or simply seek to follow the next step of obedience to the Father?

Right now, it may not seem like it. It may feel like it will never end. But there is help coming soon.

God wants to be more than your roadside assistance. He wants to be your navigation system, your heart and engine, directing your path and speed for His glory.

Jesus has already paid the debt we owe. But unless we confess our sin to the Lord, we will still have to face the judgment.

What does God see when He looks at your heart?

As much as we want our side of the story to be told, the bottom line is, the truth will eventually come out. And God will use the situation to bring about something even greater. We simply have to trust Him.

We must get into the “habit” of doing the simple things God asks of us instead of looking for the big things.

Have we turned on our heels away from Jesus? We sing His praises and worship Him on Sunday mornings, but what about the rest of the week?

So what can we do to withstand the enemy? Watch and pray.

Life can be unfair, but Jesus will make all things right.

Jesus knew I would betray Him. Like Gomer to Hosea, I have betrayed my first love and yet, Christ, knowing all these things, still chose to pay the debt I owed.

We don’t need religion. We don’t need tradition. We need a heart to heart relationship with God.

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.

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

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!

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

God has given us all we need in order to be saved. I pray you recognize that today.

While we wait, God provides honey for our soul.

Even in my life today, I struggle in this. Am I really willing and able to say I want God more than what He offers me?

Submit to God and trust Him with every detail of your life.

Jesus offers us unconditional love, protection and provision. He offers to be our shepherd – if we are but willing.

The blind man in our story had to do something to accept the healing: go and wash in the pool of Siloam. He trusted Jesus and obeyed Him…and this led to his healing.

Have we taken time out to spend with the Lord? Not just for us to tell Him what we need, but for Him to speak to us.

It’s not always easy to trust God when things fall apart, but He is faithful.

We may be tempted to take the easy way out when we feel pain, hurt, uneasiness, discomfort or trouble. But because of what Jesus endured on the cross, we can trust in Him and His sacrifice and stand strong.

When we find ourselves in a dark place, we must remember what we learned in the light.

By His grace we are forgiven and freed.

You have a choice – run or return.

Lead us, Lord, in the way that is everlasting!

In the cover of darkness is where sin reigns. But when the light shines, the darkness flees.

Will you join me in serving our Lord in the local church? We need to come back together to gain knowledge and wisdom, find encouragement and support, and to worship our King we say we love!

Jesus is with us in the storms and teaches us through them.

In Christ, God provides an Ark of Safety for all who believe.

Contentment comes when we see God’s glory and all He has given us as enough.

Jesus’ statement rings true: the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak.

There is hope in Jesus. He is a friend that sticks closer than anyone I’ve ever known.

Jesus is our help and hope when trying to break an addiction.

They had heard their Captain speaking, they had been warned, and yet, they chose to do their own thing.

They stood face to face with the One who knew them best; all their shame on full display. They had two choices: deny everything and the one who accused them, or admit their wrongs and ask for forgiveness.

The darkness, no matter how hard it tries, can never cover the light.

Our value does not come from our busyness.

God isn’t keeping something good from you by saying no. He promises to deliver something even better.
