Seasons
The word of God is our physical hand-held, heart-connection to our savior, Jesus. He is all that matters and if we do not pick it up and read it, how can we say that we know Him at all?

Lessons from Leah
It was when Leah realized her identity in God, as one of his beloved daughters, that she had the strength to continue to love an unloving husband, eventually earning his love in return.

The Passover Lamb and Resurrection Sunday
God’s divine power to encircle this annual celebration of simultaneous heartbreak and hope, is evident in scripture and historical documentary. Jesus was and is the perfect example of the Law incarnate, yet He also became the sacrificial lamb. This paradox is why we can see Jesus and only Jesus as the fulfillment of the Law once and for all.

What's In A Name?
The good news is that for all the demonic activity and evil intentions from our enemy in this world, there is a power even greater, and a name that overcomes all of it. And that name is Jesus.

Moses: Part 4
In pretty much all of the situations God put Moses in, he really didn’t know how they would end. As Moses faithfully walked in obedience to God, he did not know how one thing would unfold into the next, but he did know the One who put him there. He had faith in the ending of each situation, because he had faith in the creator of the situation.

Moses: Part 3
God is the kind of friend that we cannot do without. He is our strength. He is our peace. He is our provider. He is our place of rest. One day, when we are clothed in our glorified bodies we will be able to look on his face without the fear of death, and it will be amazing. Until that day comes, we cannot neglect the power and glory contained in the pages of the Bible.

Moses: Part 1
Moses was not only a Bible Hero. He was a super hero of Biblical proportions. Moses led one of the most incredible lives of anyone in history. God took 80 years preparing Moses. I guess it is never too late to ask God to show us his plan for our own lives and start our own journey in obedience.

Heart of Stone
If we look at the hardening of Pharaoh’s heart from the perspective of God hand, we can see how He steers evil in a certain direction, but that doesn’t mean He manufactured it. What the enemy intends for evil, God can use for good. God’s ultimate purpose is to bring the eternal blessing of salvation to a fallen world of people who bear His image.

The Prince and The Paupers
I wonder if Mark Twain ever considered the other meaning his story may have. Let's talk about another story of a Prince who left His own palace to take the place of not just one who looked like Him, but multitudes. We can read this story through the lens of scripture and fit it together with a similar narrative.

Angels We Have Heard On High
“Angles we have heard on high, gently sweeping over the plains?” I don’t the so. I don’t think this was a gentle announcement. It was a declaration of a major shift in the narrative. The darkness that shrouded all of history since the fall of mankind in the garden, is being heralded by God’s glorious light in an instant that shook the night and turned it into day for those who were a part of it. THIS is Christmas.

Knowing Who I Am
Our identity should and can only come from the One who created us in the first place. We are Who He made us to be, and when we reject that, there is only confusion and delusion. In short, to know who I am, we must know THE I Am.

Praise
When Paul and Silas were in prison, they had the choice to sit in silence or make a joyful noise. They could have complained or they could have worshipped. They chose to praise God and the Bible says the prison was shaken to its foundation. Praise is a foundation shaker.

Tragic Tales: Lessons From the Life and Death of Judas

Practical Protection
People may hurt us, but we need to remember that something is hurting them, and that is what we should be addressing. Our reaction to them should be one of love, patience, and kindness. If we come at them in ways of concern for their well-being rather than in defense of ours, we could much easier break through the wall of protection they have built around themselves and introduce them to Jesus.

Make Up Your Will
We can pray for God’s will to be done when facing hardships, or hoping for a miracle but trusting if doesn’t happen, that God’s ways are always right. He cannot fail and so when we put our trust in Him for our circumstances, we can make up our will to have the kind of faith that shines the glory on Him, even when we don’t understand.

Politics and Religion
As our political climate heats up, it seems to me that there is very little time in between voting cycles and politics are an everyday topic in the news. In the past it has been easy for some to be ok with whoever wins because we know in four short years we will get another say in things, and what kind of irreversible damage can possibly be done in such a short amount of time? Well, this is no longer the case.

The Big Talk
The sermon can be seen as a “preachy” way of encouraging believers to live an impossible life of purity. The perfection demanded here makes us realize that none of us can ever live up to its requirements. This viewpoint has its advantages, though. Our lack of perfection pushes us into the loving arms of a forgiving Father through the sacrificial blood of Jesus. And although this outlook is certainly true, the purpose behind this big talk is one of encouragement, not condemnation.

The Heart of Worship
Jesus descended the mount of olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works they had seen, but some of the Pharisees called to Him from the crowd saying “Teacher, rebuke Your disciples.” But He answered and said to them, “I tell you that if these should keep silent, the stones would immediately cry out.”I can only imagine the songs a rock would sing! I always did like rock music.
