In our current study, Peter writes to encourage believers to show honor and respect to those in authority over us. This includes submitting to the emperor, government officials, and even servants to their masters. Jesus lived this example and submitted to the will of His Heavenly Father. “Likewise, wives, be subject to your own husbands …” (1 Peter 3:1). This order was established by our Holy Creator, and there is no sense of inferiority. The practice...

We trust you will be encouraged in your walk with God.Do you remember reading about Peter (one of Jesus’ first disciples) in the 4 Gospels?

2024-01-1017 minWalk With God"Bethlehem's Story" | A Light Of RevelationSCRIPTURE: Luke 2:21-38 SHOW NOTES: Bethlehem’s Story includes Mary and Joseph as the angel revealed God’s plan for their lives. This couple walked in obedience and journeyed from Nazareth to Bethlehem. Jesus was born in an animal stable, angels announced his birth, and the shepherds came to see him lying in a manger. Weeks later, this young couple and their infant son arrive at the temple in Jerusalem, where they meet two righteous people who have waited expectantly for God to fulfill His promises. And there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Si...
2024-01-0318 minWalk With God"Bethlehem's Story" | Significant ShepherdsSCRIPTURE: Luke 2:8-20 SHOW NOTES: In Luke's Gospel, this marks the third time an angel appears to key individuals in the Bethlehem story. In chapter one, Gabriel visits Zacharias in Jerusalem, and then he speaks with Mary in Nazareth. Both times, the angel says, “Do not be afraid.” It is normal to experience fear in the presence of an angel (one of God’s powerful spiritual beings). Now, an angel comes to shepherds in the fields surrounding Bethlehem and announces the birth of a child.“For today in the city of David, there has been b...

The ruling king in Jerusalem, Herod the Great, knew how to build palaces, and he had many of them. Herod is the king of luxury. He was a wicked ruler. Herod is a king of war. “When Herod saw that the magi had tricked him, he became very enraged, and sent and slew all the male children who were in Bethlehem … from two years old and under, according to the time which he had asc...
2023-12-2019 minWalk With God"Bethlehem's Story" | Mary & JosephSCRIPTURE: Matthew 1:18-24 / Luke 1: 26-38, 2:1-5 SHOW NOTES: Bethlehem’s story continues, and we read, “The angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. And the virgin's name was Mary” (Luke 1:26-27). The angel tells Mary God has chosen her, and she will give birth to a son. “He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High” (Luke 1:31-32). Also, the angel visits Joseph and commands him to take Mary as his wife. “She will...

Over the next five weeks, we will look more closely at a tiny town in Israel, chosen by the Lord to play an essential part in His sovereign plan. Today, we ask this question, “Why Bethlehem?” The passages we will discuss today go back almost 2,000 years before the first Christmas took place. This town was small and insignificant, yet it was God’s choice. But you, O Bethlehem Ephrathah, who are too little to be among the clans of Judah, from you shall come fort...
2023-12-0618 minWalk With God"A Crown With Purpose" | Feasting And GladnessSCRIPTURE: Esther 9:20 – 10:3SHOW NOTES: Mordecai sent letters to the Jews instructing them to have days of feasting and gladness on the fourteenth and fifteenth days of Adar. They were to send gifts of food to one another and gifts to the poor. Their sorrow was turned to gladness and mourning to a holiday! Queen Esther also wrote a letter in words of peace and truth and the command to observe Purim was written in the official royal records for future generations to follow. Fasting and feasting should be important elements in our spiritual practices. Examples of...
2023-11-2919 minWalk With God"A Crown With Purpose" | Rescue Accomplished!SCRIPTURE: Esther 9:1-19 SHOW NOTES: The book of Esther is filled with many twists and turns – people in positions of power, and others who are wicked and evil. Where is God? Has He forgotten the Jewish people spread through the 127 provinces of the Persian kingdom? “On this day the enemies of the Jews had hoped to overpower them, but now the tables were turned, and the Jews got the upper hand over those who hated them.” Haman’s edict had given others the legal authority to kill the Jews and take all their property. The second edict, written by Mordec...
2023-11-2220 minWalk With God"A Crown With Purpose" | A New EdictSCRIPTURE: Esther 8:1-17 SHOW NOTES: Following Haman’s death, the king gave Queen Esther the house of Haman. Mordecai is given the authority and signet ring Haman used to issue the decree of death to the Jews. A major role reversal has occurred between Haman and Mordecai. But the story is not over. Haman’s royal decree had been written and declared throughout the entire kingdom calling for the destruction of the Jewish people. Queen Esther pleaded with the king to avert the evil plan of Haman and the plot that he had devised against the Jew...
2023-11-1521 minWalk With God"A Crown With Purpose" | Request RevealedSCRIPTURE: Esther 6:14 – 7:10 SHOW NOTES: Do we wait for the Lord or are we prone to run ahead, devising our own plans to “fix” the problem? As we reach this point in the story of Esther, she could have revealed her request either in the throne room or at the first feast with the king and Haman. While she entertained them at this first feast, Esther extended yet another invitation for a second feast. Once again, King Ahasuerus asks Esther, “What is your wish, Queen Esther? It shall be granted you. And what is your request?” The Queen had pr...
2023-11-0819 minWalk With God"A Crown With Purpose" | Delight To HonorSCRIPTURE: Esther 6:1-13 / 1 Chronicles 29:11-13 SHOW NOTES: The book of Esther is complicated – filled with twists and turns, intrigue, plays for power in the palace including assassination plots! One night King Ahasuerus is unable to sleep and he calls for his attendants to read the court history book to him – it’s a day-to-day journal. The king learns Mordecai uncovered a plot by two eunuchs to murder him. He’s troubled and asks, “Was this man ever honored?” When the king learns that Haman is in the palace, he seeks his advice. Haman presents his suggestions on...
2023-11-0120 minWalk With God"A Crown With Purpose" | Walk In WisdomSCRIPTURE: Esther 5:1-14 SHOW NOTES: Queen Esther has appealed to her uncle, Mordecai. “Gather all the Jews in Susa and fast with me for three days and three nights. Then, I will go to the king, and if I perish, I perish.” What happened during those three days of fasting? Remember there was great fear – weeping, mourning, and lamenting when the Jews learned of the king’s decree. While prayer is not specifically mentioned, when people fast, they typically turn their focus and time toward God. These are Jewish people and they have heard the history of...
2023-10-2619 minWalk With God"A Crown With Purpose" | For Such A TimeSCRIPTURE: Esther 4:1-17SHOW NOTES: As you turn the page to chapter four in the book of Esther, you quickly recognize a pivotal point in this story. Haman has initiated a plan to exact his revenge – not just on Mordecai but a plan that will bring destruction to every Jew in the empire. Mordecai learns of the decree that has been written, signed, and sent to every province and his immediate reaction is to tear his clothes, put on sackcloth and mourn with a loud and bitter cry. In fact, there was great mourning among th...
2023-10-1920 minWalk With God"A Crown With Purpose" | A Shrewd ProposalSCRIPTURE: Esther 3:7-15 SHOW NOTES: The book of Esther draws the reader into a real-life story filled with drama and intrigue. While the name of God is never specifically mentioned, we believe God was setting the stage and preparing to protect and provide for His people. Now in chapter three, King Ahasuerus appoints a man named Haman to the second highest position in the kingdom. This man is filled with pride, and he desires power. When Mordecai, a Jew, will not bow to him or honor him, Haman sets out to devise a plan to no...
2023-10-1222 minWalk With God"A Crown With Purpose" | Powerful PositionsSCRIPTURE: Esther 2:19 – 3:6 SHOW NOTES: The book of Esther is a real story rooted in the middle of palace life in ancient Persia. This story is filled with intrigue, power, and selfish ambition. Esther has been named the Queen of Persia. She has not revealed to anyone that she is Jewish, just as her uncle, Mordecai, had instructed her. He has been appointed to a government position and while sitting at the king’s gate, Mordecai overhears a plot to kill the king. He reports this to Queen Esther and after investigation, the two eunuchs are hanged. The...
2023-10-0519 minWalk With God"A Crown With Purpose" | Winning FavorSCRIPTURE: Esther 2:1-18SHOW NOTES: The second chapter in the book of Esther begins, “After these things,” so we ask this question, “What things?” King Ahasuerus had hosted a military planning session in Susa for 180 days that concluded with a 7-day feast “where wine was abundant.” The King summoned Queen Vashti to appear before him and his guests. But she refused and he removed her from the throne as Queen. Soon after He turned his attention to Greece where his mighty troops met a severe disaster and defeat. Returning home, he is surrounded by life in the Persi...
2023-09-2818 minWalk With God"A Crown With Purpose" | The Queen's DismissalSCRIPTURE: Esther 1:10-22 SHOW NOTES: This story is set in a vast empire under the rule of a pagan king. Described as one who ruled the entire known world, the king spent half a year engaged in strategic meetings with his government officials and military leaders. Now, King Ahasuerus hosts a lavish seven day banquet for these leaders while Queen Vashti hosts a feast in the palace for the women. In Esther, chapter one we read, “On the seventh day, when the heart of the king was merry with wine, he commanded Mehuman, Biztha, Harbona, Bigtha a...
2023-09-2120 minWalk With God"A Crown With Purpose" | The King's FeastSCRIPTURE: Esther 1:1-9 SHOW NOTES: As we begin this new season – A Crown with Purpose – it’s important to share some of the historical and cultural setting. “In those days King Ahasuerus sat on his royal throne in Susa, the citadel, in the third year of his reign he gave a feast for all his officials and servants. The army of Persia and Media and the nobles and governors of the provinces were before him.” This is a powerful king who ruled over the largest kingdom (127 provinces) in the known world and yet he wanted more. The book of Esth...
2023-09-1419 minWalk With God"Living Water" | Healing WaterSCRIPTURE: Ezekiel 47:1-12 / Zechariah 14:1-9 / Revelation 22:1-2SHOW NOTES: Water. As part of creation, a river flowed out of Eden to water the garden. And, in the book of Revelation, the river of the water of life will flow from the throne of God. The prophets, Ezekiel and Zechariah, speak words of hope and encouragement to the Jewish captives in Babylon. A day is coming when living waters will flow from the Temple Mount in Jerusalem – flowing down to the Dead Sea and the sea will be brought to life. The hope is presented that everyt...
2023-09-0720 minWalk With God"Living Water" | At Your WordSCRIPTURE: Luke 5:1-11 SHOW NOTES: Jesus is teaching the crowd from the shoreline, and He gets into Simon’s fishing boat. He continues to teach from this floating pulpit as the crowd presses in to hear Him. Then, the Lord speaks to Peter, “Put out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.” These men labored all night, and they are tired. Fishing is their livelihood and they caught nothing last night. Simon answered Jesus, “But at Your word I will let down the nets.” When they dropped their nets, many fish were caught...
2023-08-3120 minWalk With God"Living Water" | Walk On WaterSCRIPTURE: Matthew 14:22-33 / Mark 6:45-52 / John 6:16-21SHOW NOTES: The crowds of people have followed Jesus and His disciples around the Sea of Galilee, and it has been a long day of ministry. Caring for the disciples, Jesus puts them in a boat, He dismisses the people, and He goes off to spend time alone with His Heavenly Father in prayer. Once again, the disciples experience the strong wind and powerful waves as they struggle to row to the other side of the Sea. Sometime after 3:00am, Jesus comes walking toward them on the water...
2023-08-2420 minWalk With God"Living Water" | Lord Of The StormSCRIPTURE: Matthew 8:23-27 / Mark 4:35-41 / Luke 8:22-25 SHOW NOTES: A famous body of water found in the pages of Scripture (and one of our favorite places to visit in Israel) is the Sea of Galilee. Matthew 11:20 says, “Jesus performed most of His miracles” in this area of Israel. Three of the Gospel writers include today’s story in their written accounts of Jesus’ earthly ministry. As Matthew, Mark, and Luke share their accounts, readers gain insight into this powerful event experienced by Jesus and His disciples. These men have “worked” on this Sea for their entire lives...
2023-08-1719 minWalk With God"Living Water" | At The WellSCRIPTURE: John 4:1-42 SHOW NOTES: Jesus had a God-ordained appointment. He departed from Jerusalem, stopped at the town of Sychar, and sat down beside Jacob’s well. Then, a woman of Samaria came out to draw water in the middle of the day. She was surprised when a Jewish man asked her for a drink of water and this conversation, literally, changed her life. Yes, she came to fill her waterpot at the well but she had a much greater thirst in her life. She was truly thirsting for legitimate and authentic relationship. Jesus was able...
2023-08-1020 minWalk With God"Living Water" | Down To The RiverSCRIPTURE: Matthew 3:1-17 SHOW NOTES: John the Baptist was preaching in the wilderness of Judea and people came from Jerusalem and all the region around the Jordan River to hear him. They confessed their sins and were baptized by him in the river. John’s message included, “Prepare the way of the Lord, make his paths straight. And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.” He called people to repentance and a life that would bear fruit. As people came to the Jordan River, they identified with John’s message of repentance in preparation for the comin...
2023-08-0320 minWalk With God"Living Water" | Privileged RelationshipSCRIPTURE: Jeremiah 2:1-19 / Hosea 14:9 SHOW NOTES: Jeremiah, the weeping prophet, was given a difficult assignment – share God’s message of judgment with the wayward people of Israel. Israel was chosen by God, set apart, and holy to the Lord. God rescued them from slavery in Egypt and He brought them “into a plentiful land to enjoy its fruits and its good things. But when you came in, you defiled my land.” With privilege comes responsibility, God will discipline His children’s irresponsible behavior. God’s people have committed two evils – forsaken the One True God and created cister...

The people of Israel are camped on the east side of the Jordan River, waiting for God’s instructions. He promises to lead and guide their steps. Then, Joshua provides these instructions, “Consecrate yourselves.” The people are to prepare themselves and prepare their hearts because, “Tomorrow, the Lord will do wonders among you!” The priests walk before the people and, in faith step into the Jordan River as it is flowing swiftly at flood stage. As they carry the ark of the covenant, the...
2023-07-2021 minWalk With God"Living Water" | Remember His GoodnessSCRIPTURE: Deut. 6:10-13, 20-24; 7:18-19; 8:2-19 SHOW NOTES: The people of Israel have been wandering in the wilderness for 40 years and they will soon enter the land God promised to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. The Lord promises them many good things in the land, but He warns them, “Take care lest you forget the Lord, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery. It is the Lord your God you shall fear … and you shall serve.” Moses wrote the book of Deuteronomy at the end of his life and shares so...
2023-07-1320 minWalk With God"Living Water" | I'll Deliver ThemSCRIPTURE: Exodus 14 / Psalm 106:8-12 SHOW NOTES: At times, it may seem like the Lord does not hear our prayers, but we must cling to the Truth. He sees our affliction. He hears our cries. He knows our suffering. And He will deliver us. Moses was chosen by God for a specific mission. The people of Israel continued to serve Pharoah in the land of Egypt. He was a brutal task master and the people had suffered greatly. God had a Plan. He had a Purpose. “But God led the people around by the way of the wi...
2023-07-0620 minWalk With God"Living Water" | Out Of The WaterSCRIPTURE: Exodus 1–2 / Psalm 18:1-3 / Hebrews 11:23-25 SHOW NOTES: God had a specific plan and purpose for the life of Moses. In Psalm 106:23 Moses is called, “His chosen one.” Pharoah and the Egyptians were in dread of the people of Israel. But the more they were oppressed, the more they multiplied. A beautiful baby boy was born to a Levite couple and his mother set him in a floating basket on the Nile River. In God’s timing and providence, Pharoah’s daughter came to the river and found the baby. She drew him “out of the water” and named him, Moses...
2023-06-2920 minWalk With God"Living Water" | Thirst For GodSCRIPTURE: Psalm 42 SHOW NOTES: The author of Psalm 42 cries out to the Lord, “I thirst for the living God.” In our thirst for God and our desire to know Him and to walk more closely with Him, we should sing for joy and give thanks to Him. Life brings about times of discouragement, sadness, and despair. The Psalmist says he feels like life is tossing him around, rushing over him, and pushing him down. “Yet, through the night I will sing His songs, I will pray to God who gives me life.” We choose to put our hope in Go...

God specifically instructs Isaac, “Do not go down to Egypt, stay in the land, I will be with you and bless you.” His herdsmen dug several wells but they experienced strife with those living in the area. Isaac continued to relocate his flocks and family until they dug a well at Rehoboth. Then, Isaac journeyed to Beersheba. God appeared to Isaac and confirmed His promise to him, “Do not fear, for I am with you. I will bless you.”...

The central topic will be water and our study will include select passages of Scripture, from Genesis to Revelation, in the coming weeks. There are well over 600 references to water in the Bible. Many of these verses have great significance and important lessons for each of us to study and apply to our lives. We will look at passages where God miraculously provides water and others where God’s power overcomes the might of w...

As brothers and sisters, we do not want to become stagnant, stale, or fall away from the Lord. Our heart’s desire is to grow and have a vibrant Walk with God. There are people all around us who are hurting, sick, and facing times of trials. We are called to stand with one another. Pray for one another. Praise and rejoice with one another.

2023-05-0421 minWalk With GodFaith In Action | "He Is Faithful"SCRIPTURE: James 5:1-12SHOW NOTES: James’ book is clearly challenging “brothers and sisters” to live in a way that pleases the Lord. Now in the first 6 verses of chapter 5, he seems to shift his message to those who are living in a selfish and prideful manner. James uses strong words, and he wants these people to realize there will be consequences for their self-centered lifestyle. He declares that they should “weep and howl for the miseries that are coming upon them” because they will ultimately face this powerful Judge. Considering these truths, what are believers to do? “Brothers and s...
2023-04-2719 minWalk With GodFaith In Action | "Humbly Submit"SCRIPTURE: James 4:1-17 SHOW NOTES: James continues to share practical instruction with brothers and sisters in the early Church. How should they live in a way pleasing to God? As Jews, they listened to the teaching of the Law, celebrated the Annual Feasts, and brought their sacrifices to the Temple. James presents this basic choice for all believers. Will we live according to our fleshly desires, or will we humble ourselves and submit to God? James cares for these people and he desires to see them live in a way that will please the Lord an...

2023-03-1502 minWalk With GodFaith In Action | "Wisdom From Above"SCRIPTURE: James 3:13-18 SHOW NOTES: James asks this question, “Who is wise and understanding among you?” He points to one’s conduct, good works, and the discipline of his tongue. The Hebrew word for wisdom is chokma. Wise living means applying Biblical principles to everyday life. It is the ability to view life from God’s perspective and then order our life according to His will. James will contrast earthly wisdom (vv. 14-16) with heavenly wisdom (v. 17). He wants us to clearly see the difference and to seek “wisdom from above.” Do I turn to the Lord and ask Him to giv...
2023-03-0818 minWalk With GodFaith In Action | "Tame The Tongue"SCRIPTURE: James 3:1-12SHOW NOTES: How should we live out our faith in everyday life? James is very specific in the opening verses of chapter 3. He wants us to know teachers of God’s Word will be held accountable and he reminds us that we all make mistakes. We will not be perfect, but our desire should be spiritual growth and maturity. Now, James points to the control of our tongues. In verse 5 he writes, “So also the tongue is a small member, yet it boasts of great things.” When the tongue is not carefully constrain...
2023-03-0117 minWalk With GodFaith In Action | "Show Me Faith By Works"SCRIPTURE: James 2:14-26SHOW NOTES: As believers in Jesus Christ, our everyday actions should “match” our words of faith. The way we live out our faith each day really matters! James tells us that faith and works go “hand in hand.” Genuine faith will be lived out through deeds, and he points to charitable works or generosity. Do we visit the widow and orphans? Do we neglect the poor and show partiality to the rich? We may believe that God loves the poor but if our actions do not demonstrate our care and concern for their daily needs then...
2023-02-2221 minWalk With GodFaith In Action | "God's Mercy Triumphs"SCRIPTURE: James 2:1-13 SHOW NOTES: James now expands his thoughts from chapter one, verse 27 – How is a believer to treat orphans and widows in their times of distress, need, and struggle? In chapter two, he presents the issue of personal favoritism. James contrasts a rich man with fine clothes and gold to a poor man in dirty clothes. As believers in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ, we have experienced the abundant gift of His mercy and our sins have been forgiven. We must graciously extend mercy, love, and forgiveness to other people. SONG: "His Mercy is Mor...
2023-02-1520 minWalk With GodFaith In Action | "The Implanted Word"SCRIPTURE: James 1:19-27SHOW NOTES: James wants his readers to realize the trials and troubles of this life are opportunities for every believer to grow and mature in their personal walk with God. He begins with “Consider it all joy, my brothers and sisters, when you face many various trials,” and now he wants us to consider the reality of our behavior when we face various trials. 1. Be quick to hear 2. Be slow to speak 3. Be slow to anger James exhorts us to “put away all filthiness and rampant wickedness and receive with...
2023-02-0821 minWalk With GodFaith In Action | "Every Good & Perfect Gift"SCRIPTURE: James 1:12-18 SHOW NOTES: We want the characteristics of faith and endurance in our life, but we don’t really like the process. Right? Because we really don’t like to be uncomfortable, or inconvenienced, or experience hardship, sickness, or death. “Let endurance have its perfect result – so you may be mature, complete, lacking in nothing.” Yet, we truly desire to be approved by God and our hope is that we would receive the reward of the crown of life. As we continue working our way through this book, James now returns to the theme of tes...
2023-02-0119 minWalk With GodFaith In Action | "Remain Steadfast"SCRIPTURE: James 1:9-12 / Isaiah 40:6-8 / Revelation 2:10 SHOW NOTES: The book of James begins with the topic of trials and God wants us to have His perspective. “Consider it pure joy” when we face many different trials. Secondly, He tells us the only way we can have His perspective is to have His wisdom. Today, let’s look at our circumstances. Those believers who are lowly and poor have been given a high position because God lifts them up and gives them dignity and worth. In contrast, the rich person is humbled by their human frailty – the comforts and pleasures...
2023-01-2519 minWalk With GodFaith In Action | "Count It Joy!"SCRIPTURE: James 1:2-8 / John 16:33 / Philippians 4:7 SHOW NOTES: James encourages Jewish believers to apply action and attitude to their faith walk. He begins with a difficult topic – trials of many kinds – and he states, “Consider it joy whenever you face trials.” This attitude of joy does not come automatically because, it doesn’t feel good when we go through trials and hard times. Rather, we need to think deeply and examine our heart-felt response as we face life’s troubles. God’s purpose is to mature us and to see our faith strengthened. Tests will come, but through them, the Lord te...
2023-01-1820 minWalk With GodFaith In Action | "James, Author & Servant"SCRIPTURE: James 1:1 / Matthew 13:53-57 / Acts 2:5 SHOW NOTES: Wherever you may find yourself today, each of us needs the Lord’s direction and counsel for the circumstances we face. The book of James provides instruction for guidance, conduct, and suffering as we walk with Him. James introduces himself with this title – “a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ.” He does not assume privilege or position but rather presents himself as one who serves God and Jesus. One of the first New Testament books written, James offers God’s perspective in the midst of trials, and he encourage...
2023-01-1120 minWalk With GodPraise And Adore Him | "Seek & Worship Him"SCRIPTURE: Matthew 2:1-18 / Micah 5:2 / Psalm 92:1-2 SHOW NOTES: The wise men traveled from the east to Jerusalem. They have come in search of the one who “has been born king of the Jews.” And, when they arrived in the courts of King Herod, the wise men told him, “We have come to worship him.” Where was this baby born? The religious leaders searched the Hebrew Scriptures and found the words of the prophet, Micah saying, “And you, O Bethlehem, in the land of Judah … from you shall come a ruler.” Herod sent the wise men to Bethlehem with the request...
2023-01-0421 minWalk With GodPraise And Adore Him | "Our Eternal Hope"SCRIPTURES: Hebrews 11:1-2 and Luke 2:22-40.SHOW NOTES: We are familiar with many of the details and characters found in Luke 2 – Mary, Joseph, the shepherds, and angels. Yet later in the chapter, we are introduced to two people, a man and a woman, who exhibit strong qualities of trust, confidence, and hope in the Lord of Israel. These two had lived their lives in an admirable and commendable fashion. There’s much we can learn from Simeon and Anna. Simeon is described as righteous and devout, and his name means one who hears and obeys. Anna, a prophet...
2022-12-2819 minWalk With GodPraise And Adore Him | "Glory To God!"SCRIPTURE: Luke 2:8-20 SHOW NOTES: In the middle of a dark night, the angel appeared to shepherds who were watching over their flocks of sheep. Then, amid the glory of the Lord, the angel delivered the message of Good News, Great Joy! And suddenly, there was a multitude of the heavenly host praising God! They were saying, “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among men with whom He is pleased.” The shepherds came in a hurry and found their way to Mary and Joseph, and the baby as He lay in the manger. The shepher...
2022-12-2120 minWalk With GodPraise And Adore Him | "Righteous Joseph"SCRIPTURE: Matthew 1:17-24SHOW NOTES: Have you considered Joseph’s story? Most often we turn to Luke 1 and read Mary’s account. God sovereignly chose Mary and Joseph to serve as the earthly parents of the God-Man, Jesus. Matthew informs the reader that Joseph was a righteous man and he had a tender heart. Caught in confusion, hurt, and disappointment, he had decided to quietly divorce Mary and he did not want to bring harm to her. God sent an angel to Joseph and gave him clear instructions, “Do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife. For...
2022-12-1418 minWalk With GodPraise And Adore Him | "Hearts Rejoice!"SCRIPTURE: Luke 1:5-56SHOW NOTES: Under the direction of God and in His perfect plan … the announcements of two births will shake the nation of Israel and the world! Two cousins will become mothers. One an older woman who has lived a righteous life and the other a young virgin, engaged to be married … both hand-picked by God to fulfill His promises of the coming Messiah. How amazing! Elizabeth rejoices in God’s good gift. And Mary offers words of adoration to the Lord, “Oh, how my soul praises the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior! F...
2022-12-0721 minWalk With GodPraise And Adore Him | "A Great Light"SCRIPTURE: Isaiah 7:14; 9:1-7 SHOW NOTES: This podcast season has drawn our hearts toward praise for the Lord and over the next few weeks, let’s grow to adore Him more. The Lord Himself came to dwell among us and save us from our sins. Our world is filled with darkness, but Jesus came to bring LIGHT into the world. Isaiah writes, “His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace.” As we meditate on these 4 names, our hearts will swell with hope and we will desire to Adore the One who offers these blessings to His...
2022-11-3019 minWalk With GodPraise And Adore Him | "The Priority Of Praise"SCRIPTURE: Psalm 150SHOW NOTES: When we praise God, no matter what our circumstances may be, we actively demonstrate our trust in the Lord. He is worthy of our praise – pull out the instruments, sit down at the piano, sing the words of Scripture. Let the Lord know it is your heart’s desire to praise Him for His mighty deeds and His excellent greatness! It is our prayer that you will be encouraged to praise the Lord this week – Happy Thanksgiving!SONG: "A Thousand Hallelujahs" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ga057VTHdP0
2022-11-2319 minWalk With GodPraise And Adore Him | "Praise Leads The Way!"SCRIPTURE: 2 Chronicles 20:1-30 SHOW NOTES: In this story found in 2 Chronicles 20, King Jehoshaphat has just received bad news. “A great multitude is coming against you from Edom – the Moabites and Ammonites. In fact, they are assembled at Engedi.” The king responded with fear, a natural human emotion, however, he turned his face to the Lord and he called the people of Judah to fast. They gathered together in the temple court and cried out to God in despair. “Oh, Lord, we do not know what to do but our eyes are on You!” The Lord sent a specific messag...
2022-11-1620 minWalk With GodPraise And Adore Him | "A Song Of THANKS!"SCRIPTURE: 1 Chronicles 16:8-36 / Deut. 7:7-9 SHOW NOTES: In 1 Chronicles 16, David offers this beautiful Song of Thanks. God has allowed the Ark of the Covenant to arrive in Jerusalem. It is a symbol of God’s presence in His Holy City. David leads the people in worship and heartfelt praise to the Lord. In these verses, David gives us so many ways to offer our praise to the Lord. Even the phrase, “Praise the Lord,” is the Hebrew word, “Hallelujah! Praise unto Yahweh!” We are to declare His glory and His marvelous works. Great is the Lord and He is greatly t...
2022-11-0920 minWalk With GodPraise And Adore Him | "A Song Of Deliverance"SCRIPTURE: 2 Samuel 22 / Psalm 18 SHOW NOTES: We all experience days when words of praise just don’t roll off our tongue. In our Scriptures today, David gives us examples for how we can approach those times when life is difficult and when it seems too hard for our lips to praise the Lord. In 2 Samuel 22 & Psalm 18, we see two versions of the same account in David’s life. The book of 2 Samuel is set in an historical framework but each of these chapters is written as Hebrew poetry. David declares, “I love you, O Lord, my strength...
2022-11-0218 minWalk With GodLife's Journeys | "To Live Is Christ"Scripture: Philippians 1:21, 3:7-9 / Select Passages in ActsSHOW NOTES: Paul’s life included many journeys – he persecuted believers in Jerusalem and his famous Road to Damascus experience! After Paul returned to Jerusalem, he continued to learn and grow in his new-found faith in Jesus. His entire life was changed! The purpose of his journey was rerouted, and he was now “called” to be a messenger of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. There is much to study and learn from Paul’s three missionary journeys, as he reached many people and established churches in Asia Minor and Greece. Of the 27 book...
2022-10-2721 minWalk With GodLife's Journeys | "A Chosen Instrument"Scripture: Acts 9:1-28SHOW NOTES: Life’s Journeys will bring us face to face with difficult people, even cruel people. Last time we met Saul, a leading Pharisee in Jerusalem, zealous for the Law, and persecuting men and women who were following Jesus. He was determined this new message would not spread any further into Judaism. Saul travels from Jerusalem to Damascus when suddenly a light from heaven shone around him. He fell to the ground and heard a voice speaking to him. “Why are you persecuting me?” For three days, he could not see, and he waited i...
2022-10-2019 minWalk With GodLife's Journeys | "Zealous!"Scripture: Acts 8:1-3, 18:3, 22:3-4, 26:9SHOW NOTES: In the time period of the early Church, we meet a Pharisee named Saul. Later in his life, He makes this statement, “I myself have reason for confidence in the flesh … circumcised on the eighth day, of the people of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; as to the law, a Pharisee; as to zeal, a persecutor of the church; as to righteousness under the law, blameless” (Phil. 3:4-6). The new believers in Jerusalem were greatly afraid of the zealous work of this man. He was a leader in the gr...
2022-10-1318 minWalk With GodLife's Journeys | "Open Your Heart"Scripture: Acts 16:11-40Title: Open Your HeartSHOW NOTES: This chapter in Acts is the only time we meet Lydia. Her life journey brought her from Thyatira to Philippi for her business ventures – we don’t know all the details. But an important part of her life was to gather for prayer by the river. Here, she sought a true relationship with God. While on their journey, God led Paul and Silas to this group of women, and they shared the good news of Jesus Christ. And the Lord opened her heart. This church in the ci...
2022-10-0619 minWalk With GodLife's Journeys | "Whoever Believes"Scripture: John 3:1-17, 7:50-52, 19:38-42SHOW NOTES: A man named Nicodemus comes to talk with Jesus during the night. He asks questions and he has a seeking heart. God sent His Only Son to the world and offered the free gift of salvation. Jesus came to demonstrate God’s love for all people and extend eternal life to whoever believes in Him. Nicodemus was a secret follower whose faith grew slowly. Jesus is not pushy, rather He is patient. He waits and He wants to meet with you. Bring your questions but also, come ready to listen for His s...
2022-09-2920 minWalk With GodLife's Journeys | "The Battle Belongs To The Lord"Scripture: Judges 4–5Title: The Battle Belongs to the LordSHOW NOTES: Deborah was used by God to lead, guide, and direct the people of Israel during a time of cruel oppression. She trusted His Word to be true and fulfilled her God-given work with great purpose. She was a wife and served as the only female judge and a prophetess to the people of Israel. Her inner strength and calm leadership are powerful examples of her trust in God! Deborah was a decisive figure in the defeat of the Canaanites. Following this significant military victory agai...
2022-09-2221 minWalk With GodLife's Journeys | "Keep Your Promise"Scripture: Joshua 6 / Hebrews 11:31 Theme Verse: “It was by faith that Rahab the prostitute was not destroyed with the people in her city who refused to obey God. For she had given a friendly welcome to the spies.” (Hebrews 11:31) SHOW NOTES: Fear gripped the hearts of the people shut inside the gates of Jericho. No one was allowed to enter the city or depart. Israel had crossed the Jordan River and was now camped a short distance from the walled city. But, there was one scarlet cord hanging from a window on the city wall. Rahab demonstrated...
2022-09-1519 minWalk With GodLife's Journeys | "Right With God"Scripture: Joshua 2; James 2:24-26Theme Verse: Rahab the prostitute is another example. She was shown to be right with God by her actions when she hid those messengers and sent them safely away by a different road. (James 2:25) SHOW NOTES: Every person’s life journey will look different. Rahab the prostitute walks into God’s redemptive plan. What a life of hardship and difficulty she endured, and yet in her journey, Rahab experienced an amazing RESCUE! This Canaanite woman presents a beautiful picture of God’s redemptive grace. He uses unlikely people to accomplish His purposes...
2022-09-0820 minWalk With GodLife's Journeys | "Mighty Power & Great Deeds"Scripture: Exo. 14–19; 32–33 / Num. 13–14; 20 / Deut. 34:10-12SHOW NOTES: Have you heard the saying, “The struggle makes us stronger”? This can be a big pill to swallow, because most of us don’t like the struggle. The struggle is hard work, takes discipline, and causes us to evaluate the details of our life. But deep down, we want to be stronger and so, we must face the STRUGGLE! That is exactly what the people of Israel are facing … out in the wilderness. God’s wants them to grow – in unity, discipline, faith, and their obedience to the Lord. Moses is their leader, and he...
2022-09-0120 minWalk With GodLife's Journeys | "Our God Is Victorious!"SHOW NOTES: Convincing Pharaoh to let the sons of Israel depart from Egypt was no easy job. The Lord knew Pharaoh would not let the people of Israel go and He told Moses … I will reach out with MY hand and strike Egypt with all MY miracles. Moses continued to struggle with doubt and the lack of self-confidence. God had called him and He would provide everything Moses needed to complete this assignment.Moses and his brother, Aaron were sent to speak all that God had commanded to Pharaoh. The Lord said, “But I will harden Pharaoh’s heart...
2022-08-2521 minWalk With GodLife's Journeys | "God Calls Moses"Scripture: Exodus 2 – 3 / Acts 7:29-36SHOW NOTES: Are you walking in the midst of a trial, a really tough time? Are you facing some hard decisions or choices? God sees. God hears your prayers and every cry. He knows your suffering, pain, and sorrow.“Our soul waits for the Lord; He is our help and our shield.” ~ Ps. 33:20After 40 years in Pharoah’s court, Moses ran for his life to the land of Midian. He meets Jethro and his seven daughters and begins a new life – husband, father, and shepherd of sheep. Another 40 years pass, Moses i...
2022-08-1821 minWalk With GodLife's Journeys | "Moses In Pharaoh's Court"Scripture: Exodus 1:8-22; 2:1-15 / Acts 7:17-29SHOW NOTES: Life’s Journeys … each of us are on a journey. God’s Word is filled with the journeys of real people and there is much wisdom and insight for us to glean from them. We have looked at Joseph’s journey and now we will turn the pages in our Bibles to the book of Exodus – the journey of Moses. Joseph’s story and Moses’ story intersect with each other. Joseph was in Egypt when Jacob’s family arrives and Moses will lead the people of Israel out of Egypt. But first...
2022-08-1120 minWalk With GodLife's Journeys | "God's Goodness (Part 4)"THEME VERSE: Genesis 45:7-8 – “And God sent me before you to preserve for you a remnant on earth, and to keep alive for you many survivors. So, it was not you who sent me here, but God.” SHOW NOTES: The story of Joseph has grabbed our hearts. This young man – certainly not perfect – faced some very difficult trials in his life and yet, he continued to trust God. The twists and turns in Joseph’s journey in Egypt span over more than 27 years. He demonstrates great wisdom, discernment, and control when his 10 older brothers come to purchase grain. He keeps...
2022-08-0420 minWalk With GodLife's Journeys | "God's Goodness (Part 3)"Theme Verse: Genesis 42:18 - Joseph said to them, “Do this and you will live, for I fear God.” SHOW NOTES: We have a Faithful God even when we can’t see Him working – in the midst of a storm, walking in a dark valley, or even … sitting in a prison cell … today, Joseph will stand in Pharoah’s courts. After 13 difficult years, Joseph is put in a position of power and great authority. He has a very important job to do and he is diligent in completing the task assigned to him. God has also blessed him with 2 sons....
2022-07-2822 minWalk With GodLife's Journeys | "God's Goodness (Part 2)"Theme Verse: Genesis 39:21 – “But the Lord was with Joseph and showed him steadfast love and gave him favor.”SHOW NOTES: There are many lessons for us to learn and wisdom to glean from the lives of people found in the pages of Scripture. Some good examples and some mistakes that provide valuable guidelines and warnings for us to observe and follow. Joseph has been sold into slavery by his 10 older, jealous brothers and finds himself serving in the house of Potiphar. After Potiphar’s wife attempts to seduce Joseph, she lies about him, and Joseph is put into prison. S...
2022-07-2120 minWalk With GodLife's Journeys | "God's Goodness (Part 1)"THEME VERSE: “As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good.” – Genesis 50:20 SHOW NOTES: Joseph was the 11th son of Jacob – the loved son, the favored son. But his older brothers hated him. They vowed to never bow down before this boy with a coat of many colors. Can we trust God when we are walking through difficult times? Or do we only trust Him when everything seems to be going just fine? He sees our pain. He knows about the trouble, sadness, and difficult relationships in our lives. The goodness of God is eviden...
2022-07-1422 minWalk With GodLife's Journeys | "Birthright & Blessing"Theme Verse: Genesis 28:3 “May God Almighty bless you and make you fruitful and multiply you...”SHOW NOTES: Our lives are filled with various journeys. People in the Bible give us real-life examples of how we can navigate the different miles along the way. In Genesis 25-28, we view the life’s journey of Isaac, his wife, Rebekah, and their sons, Esau and Jacob. Twins, yet very different from each other. Their struggle was very real and unfortunately, their parents seemed to fan the flame of this sibling rivalry – tension and much competition. Our God is sovereign, and...
2022-07-0722 minWalk With GodLife's Journeys | "Faith & Friendship"Theme Verse: “And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to Him as righteousness, and he was called the friend of God.” (James 2:23)SHOW NOTES: Life is a journey. The path of our journey is filled with twists and turns. There are “bumps’ in the road – joy and sorrow are part of life’s journey for everyone. Abram is called by God to leave his country and go to the land of Canaan. Over the next 24 years, God and Abram had many conversations. God made promises and He called Abram into a Covenant relationship at 99 years old. God changed...
2022-06-3021 minWalk With GodLife's Journeys | "Benefits Of The Journey"SHOW NOTES: Each of us travels a pathway with twists and turns, ups and downs, as well as walking the straight and narrow. We face challenges, struggles, joy, pleasure, and through the process – the journey of life – we grow and learn. Hopefully, we will mature and become wiser. The pages of God’s Written Word have included amazing people and their stories offer keen insight about how we might continue the journey of our lives. Terah left Ur of the Chaldeans with Abram (his son), Sarai (Abram’s wife), and Lot (his grandson) and headed toward the land of Canaan...

Jesus witnessed these first-hand as He traveled with His disciples in the Galilee Region. And, we recognize the storms of life are very real! You may be in the middle of a storm now or the next storm may be just around the corner. The Lord has a reason for each trial but we will not be separated from Jesus. He is walking beside us.

In 1 Samuel 25 we read about Nabal, Abigail, and David. Abigail was told some troubling news and she quickly packed a picnic feast. Loading the last donkey, she mounted her donkey and went out to meet David and his men. The purpose for this picnic was to divert a massacre – Nabal and all the males in his household. The contrast of foolish words and wisdom is evident in this story. Amid difficult relationships and circumstances, each of us needs to look to God and...
