The Lord Answers
Cries to God may seemingly go unanswered but just because the answer isn’t immediate doesn’t mean that He does not hear you.
Trust God’s Promise
Change occurs when the physical environment changes and we then adapt to those changes.
Let the SON Refuel You
We are never beyond God’s ability to restore us and give us new life.
Renew Your Mind
When you were saved, the Holy Spirit took up residence in you and it is that power that lives inside of all believers that can reshape your thinking and allow you to see things the way God sees them.
The Peace of Christ
As we enter into this second week of Advent, we place our focus on peace. Not peace as the world defines peace but the peace that God ushers in.
The Hope of Christmas
It is no wonder that Advent is the prelude to the ultimate gift that we have already received.
A Christmas Wish
As a small child I remember when the Sears Christmas catalog would come in the mail and how I would flip through it dreaming of what I wanted and hoping in some mysteriously magical way that it would miraculously appear on Christmas morning. Unfortunately it was only a wish, a dream that most often didn’t come true but I refused to let my hope die.
The Hope of Advent
Sunday marked the beginning of Advent, a season of preparation. It is a time when Christians spend several weeks in penance, prayer and fasting as we prepare for the coming of Christ.
Ask in Faith
Trust the Holy Spirit to teach you how to pray. Knowing His abiding presence assures certainty as you are led by faith according to His will, know that you can confidently ask, believe and receive. Sign up to be part of our Virtual Prayer Walk September 12-27.
Just One Thing
The Lord is still performing miracles and you may have need for a miracle in your life.
Hoping and Working
Pastor Mamie talks about hopes requirement for action. Prayer is a big part of faith in action.
Love Is Grace
Our gifts, our lives, our actions are worthless absent the presence of true sincere uncompromising love. It’s hard to fight when you love. The love of God is self-sacrificing and it is the kind of love we receive from Him every single day. It’s called grace.
Out of Love
Christians are held to high standards and we’re often criticized when we don’t meet another’s expectation of what we should do or be. Just because someone is a Christian doesn’t mean perfection. Just like anyone who seeks to live a life for Christ, it is a process, a constant maturing and acts of selflessness as you submit to God for the needs of others.
A Good Fight
For boxers before getting in the ring they realize they need to condition their bodies. They engage in interval running and for those who are competitive boxers they spend 3-5 hours of training 5 times a week to prepare themselves to compete. Christians must also condition themselves to “fight the good fight of faith.”
Time to Try God
Depression can take us down to some really dark places. At some point, we have to realize that we've tried everything to save ourselves. That's when we finally realize, it's time to try God.
