Yes, joy is a gift that transcends tragedies, illnesses, and excuses. Joy is God’s goodness and presence alive and at work in His children.

Where can you serve Jesus the most? Pray and see if He’s leading you to go or stay.

It takes nurturing with the bread of life and the living water and time spent with the Son for the person to finally bloom and grow and then be ready for harvest.

Don’t let the enemy distract you from your purpose. Keep teaching. Keep leading. Keep discipling. Keep preaching. Keep encouraging.

Only Jesus can save you. But will you answer that call?

How are you using your influence in this world? Is it to draw others to you, or to Him?

Maybe we find in life what we want to find, what we seek, and what consumes our time and money. What we choose to “be-come” is a path of decisions made daily that projects our journey.

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.

If God is calling you to take a step of obedience, know that He is with you the entire time!

If someone were to write a book about you, claiming that you were a Christian, would they have enough proof?

Compassion is always worth the risk.

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

Be reminded (and encouraged) that Jesus will be glorified in your “becoming” and your resemblance of Him will be your highest calling.

Let your heart sing to the Lord this morning in worship and praise! Let His joy flow through you!

Sheep don’t worry; sheep just trust.

God can use anybody to accomplish His will.

What are your motives? Why have you chosen to follow Jesus, and are you still choosing that path every day?

As you prepare to give, be reminded that all gifts need to be wrapped in unconditional love, just as our Heavenly Father has modeled for us.

Will we deny His truth and decide to do what we think or feel is right? Or will we choose Jesus, His truth, His way, and His love?

Fear and doubt can take us out of trusting God and experiencing Him.

The same love that He showed for His betrayer Judas, He shows to you and me.

Jesus gives us joy and shows us what true joy looks like.

We can learn a lot about God’s love and care for us from the four seasons.

Let’s intentionally choose gifts from the Savior’s circular this year for a guarantee of never having to wait in lengthy return lines!

In a world where we get answers fast, God wants us to be willing to wait because that’s when our faith develops.

Jesus teaches us how to be fishers of men.

God is the One who assigns what we are to carry.

And we have the opportunity to hold God’s word in our hands and allow it to speak life, hope and freedom into our lives every day.

There is a beautiful land waiting for those that believe in Jesus Christ and follow Him, trusting in His work of salvation. It’s hard to imagine now, but there is great joy ahead.

Are you willing to allow Christ to use you for His will, to further His kingdom?

Who do you say that Jesus is? This is the only thing that truly matters. Do you recognize Him as your Father?

When we want to know how to interact with those we disagree with, we should look at Jesus.

There’s something special about believing big things from our God and thanking Him first that can really activate the power of God in our lives!

God calls us to live thankful lives.

Today might be a good day to stop and examine our lives. We may claim to know Christ, but is there fruit in our lives, evidence of His redemptive work?

Don’t give God your leftovers. Allow him to be The Feast you indulge in and come away eternally filled by His Spirit to the fullest!

God created the church as a place to worship and serve Him. It’s a place to learn, become a family, and minister to those in need.

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

Today, let us be looking for ways to put others first. How can we serve one another? How can I be more like Jesus?

And this is God’s will…

Because we’ve been forgiven, we can forgive.

What legacy will you leave?

The Lord knows we are better together. United, we will stand; divided, we will fall.

May we obey when God calls.

Have we settled for something less than what Jesus intended for His church?

Learn the lessons that separation can bring, but run when you spot home. Your Father always leaves the light on.

God desires our obedience. He wants a heart that loves him so much, it is willing to trust and obey Him…even when it’s hard.

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.

Are you seeing the whole picture? Get the full context by searching the scriptures!

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