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.

Everyone can use a fresh start.

Jesus was known for His humble nature and loving manner, not a hurried and chaotic busyness.

None of us deserve what God has done for us. We ALL deserve His wrath.

Lay it down. Everything you are trying to prove, whatever you are trying to earn, lay it down. Come to the foot of the cross.

So what do we do? If we have been forgiven so great a debt, one that we cannot repay, time and time again, what should we do when someone wrongs us? Forgive.

As brothers and sisters in Christ, we must lay aside our flesh and follow the Lord’s lead.

What needs to be removed in your life to keep your eyes fixed on Christ? What tempts you? What leads you to sin?

Jesus knew that the resurrection would come. He knew what it would be like to be reunited with the Father in Heaven. He wasn’t focused on the pain ahead, but the joy that was coming.

When we are afraid, we can turn our eyes to our Savior.

Far too many will accept Jesus, but never experience the true reward of having a close relationship with Him.

We don’t always understand God’s plan. We don’t like to see our friends or family struggle or suffer, but it’s important to remember, God’s got this. He is in control.

God is such a gentleman, He will let us run, but sooner or later, we will come face-to-face with the consequences of our actions.

We can learn from the life of others.

You cannot do this on your own. You need Jesus. Trust in Him to provide what you need.

When we feel “stuck,” we can learn a lot about God and His heart for us and our world.

Jesus shows us what to do when faced with anxiety.
