Do not fear man, fear God.

If you find yourself in new, uncomfortable seasons, run to your God.

Unless we are filled with something meaningful and lasting, we will never see true growth or fruit. We must be filled with the Holy Spirit.

Even when we face storms or apparent defeat, God is working!

A pure heart is transparent with an uncompromising desire to please God in all things.

Today, let’s focus on this one opening line in our prayer and listen as the Holy Spirit brings to our minds all the names of God.

Are we out of shape when it comes to prayer? Are we exercising this beautiful form of communication with our Father as we should?

To reflect Jesus’ image and to testify of His attributes is to choose to be vulnerable, devoted, and authentic.

Our God chases us down in the storms of life, pursuing us. He never gives up on us. He’ll use every element of nature and every life situation to point back to Him.

Here are a few tips to help “redeem the time.”

Be reminded that more life-changing than s’mores, hayrides, and cider is the captivating life of abundance in choosing Christ.

God saved His child, who cried out to Him.

A simple prayer for us…

We’ve been given the armor of God, and now we must use it!

Let’s take some time to pray this morning and ask the Lord how we can better serve Him through our giving and support of our pastors and staff.

Truly our spiritual exoneration only comes from our guilt/sin being covered with his Son’s innocence “doing the time” for us.

May we take the time to refocus our thoughts, plans and actions back to Jesus and His mission.

If we have the same goal, the same motives, and the same message, we should encourage and rejoice that others want to follow and do the same.

Good things happen when we trust and follow God with our whole hearts!

Open your Bible. This is where you will find Jesus speaking to you today. Hear His voice.

What are you seeking, and are you looking in the right place?

As we open up our table, let’s be mindful and intentional to welcome those that need the great physician.

Our goal should never be for others to simply follow us, but to follow us in pursuing Jesus!

Our God-given desires must be submitted to God’s authority.

Make the best choice to gently and prayerfully yield to His placement, His power source, and His sovereignty.

Not only can God help you become wiser in life and in making decisions, but having an undivided heart can help guard you from putting your faith and confidence into other people and things.

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.

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

What can our fur babies teach us about our Christian journey?

As believers, let’s not get caught up in the things of this world, but in the things of the one to come.

Do we live as though this world is our home or do we live with a longing to be with our God in eternity?

God calls us to unity, but what exactly is unity?

Examine your plans for the coming week, pray over them, hold them loosely, and invite the One who most deserves your attention, devotion, and energy to interrupt your plans for His.

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

We can forgive others because we have been forgiven.

God is so good to us sinners! He doesn’t give up on us—He gives us second and third and fourth chances to get it right.

We, too, come to a crossroads. Will we follow Christ knowing the costs? Or will we deny Him?

I want to invest into something that lasts, don’t you? Plant seeds of salvation for eternal blooms.

When was the last time we asked God to see His glory? This moment with Moses reminds me that maybe my prayers are too small.

You may be feeling like a ball in your hands translates to a turnover in the making, but a life in God’s hands is the perfect starting lineup.

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.

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.

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

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

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!

God has gifted each of our kids for His Kingdom.

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?

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.
