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

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

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

Nothing is too big for our God.

How often does God pull us from the darkness, revealing His beautiful plan and light to us, and yet we find ourselves back there again? How quickly we forget.

Don’t Miss the Message!

Jonah’s powerful prayer reflects that he is now ready to do God’s will…even when it still probably doesn’t make sense to him. He gets what we all want in life: a redo.

Far too often, I pick up the burdens I’ve promised to give over to the Lord because I think I can do this. I can fix this. I can make it better. But all of my efforts are poor attempts compared to His righteous and perfect plan.

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

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.

Fall to His feet and trust in Him. This is where true faith is built.

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.

My impatient and anxious heart can get the best of me, how about you? Lord, we know You have great things in store for us. Help us to learn to trust You, Lord!

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

David appeals to the very nature of who God is, not his own competence or luck, thus a teaching moment for witnesses and recorded for us. As your Goliaths appear in life’s challenges, learn from David.

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.

Jesus is there, even in our blindspot.

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.

Today, the question is posed to you – Who is Jesus? Your answer determines your destiny. Is He your father? Do you have a relationship with Him where you know you are His daughter or son?

We’ve seen His goodness time and time again. We’ve witnessed what He can do and we know what He’s promised to do, but… we turn the knob on the side of that box, wondering if He’s really going to show up.

Jesus was the Messiah, the healer, the One whom they had heard about their whole lives, and their faith in those things brought them to the mountain, believing in Him to save them. How far will you go to be saved?

We must resist our tendency to quench our spiritual thirst with the wrong things.

Has the Lord been calling? Today. Answer His call today. Tomorrow may be too late.

Friend, are you thirsty? Are you desperately seeking water that will sustain you? True, life-giving water? The Father is calling and says “come”.

Are you fighting a battle? Maybe you feel like the darkness is closing in and you need more light to continue. Jesus Christ said He is the light of the world. Reach out to Him to in faith that He would give you what you need to continue!

You can believe a small seed of faith planted in God’s power produces the impossible if it is planted securely in God’s Word. 

If you really want to explore the questions you have about your faith, dive right in to God’s Word instead of manmade arguments.

God’s will is done. No matter what we do to mess it up, it will still be accomplished. His counsel shall stand. He purposed it, He will do it.

We, too, need daily reminders of what the Lord has done for us, what He desires for us to do, and why we should serve Him.

Do you need that reminder today? When the bullies of this world are in your face, demanding to know what army will stand with you, you tell them, the LORD of Hosts!

Are you ready for better days ahead? Do you want to leave the past behind for a better tomorrow? It starts today and it can only be possible with faith in Jesus Christ.

It’s not about what you see, think, or believe, it’s about the deity of God and his Son’s life-changing work on the cross.

God doesn’t need lip service from us. Promises of what we will do in the future, praises of His glory, and sacrifices to show we are religious are nothing to Him without our obedience.

We can do that which God has called us to do with what He has given us in His word.

Whatever you are trusting in, whether it’s your wealth, your health or yourself, none of it will lead to Heaven. There is only one, and His name is Jesus.

So, anytime you are faced with a giant of a problem or any emotion that comes your way, step up to the fight. You never know what God can do in, around, or through you when you are willing to trust Him.

With a significant downward spiral going on in church attendance, maybe we should go back to the basics and hear from a passionate church planter.

Let us take our hurts, issues, and protests to the Lord. If you truly love, respect, trust and have faith in Him, doesn’t He deserve that honor?

Are you watching and listening for His call? Maybe He’s calling you to move in a way that would glorify Him. Will you respond in obedience? Praying you will.

All of us have experienced fear, but only God provides the way to truly conquer it.

When you’re hurting and weary of the constant pain of loss, don’t hesitate to use your support network.

Spending quality, uninterrupted time with God is truly the only way to become more like him.

When Jesus rebuked his disciples for shooing away the little children, he taught a countercultural lesson.

Sometimes called Progressive Christianity, a dangerous movement is creeping into our culture.

Complaints from God’s people are nothing new, but His perspective on our lives is eternal, not temporal.

Instead of taking pride in what we can do, trust God will provide.

We’re so used to finding comfort in what we see that we forget to trust in what we cannot see.

A believer’s kingdom perspective focuses on eternal riches.

Your personal journey to the manger will be the best decision you ever make.

The three gifts were brought by men who had heard the story of a Messiah.
