When I Fear God’s Path for Me
As we live our lives, we often find ourselves wandering down paths we never expected. It may not be due to our own sin or poor choices. It may be just the effects of living in a fallen and sinful world. But as David reminds us in Psalm 23:4, God is there with us. Both Paul and James remind us that God may have a plan in that dark valley to grow us. What we fear, may be God’s intended…
Trusting the Provider Over the Provision
We take many things for granted as we live from day to day. May times we credit all that we have to our strength, wit, and even family background. Acts 17:25 reminds us that all we have is from God. As we examine a snippet from Luke today, we find that it ties directly to our studies in the Gospel of John & our focus recently on the Feast of Tabernacles or Sukkot. Join us as we are challenged to…
Things That Never Come Back
Ever spoken something and then thought: “Maybe I shouldn’t have said that.” Or perhaps you wanted to speak it, did, & then saw how it destroyed the person on the receiving end. Or maybe you watched as your words comforted someone in pain, gave wisdom in the face of a decision, or inspired someone. All those scenarios speak to the vast power of our tongues and the call to use them wisely. Join us as we consider a key text…
I’ve Got This. Trust Me. (Anxiety)
Worry. Anxiety. Frustrations. These all come easy to us and there are plenty of catalysts on a daily basis to stir them up in our lives. But as we face them, we always have a choice. We can choose to turn inwardly and try to solve the problems ourselves. Or we can turn outwardly toward God and seek him. Join as we focus on Philippians 4:6-7 today and work through a few thoughts on anxiety. CCLI Streaming License # 20229783
Complaining to Gratitude
As we look at the world around us, it is easy to find something to complain about. It comes natural to us. Whether it’s politics, something happening in our local community or our families, even our health, complaining comes easy. What is harder is for us to refocus our eyes to the goodness of God and how we’ve seen his grace this day. This is the transformation the gospel calls us to. CCLI Streaming License # 20229783
Correct Comparisons
Whether you recognize it or not, you make comparisons all throughout your day. It could be which gas station to get gas from making a comparison of price. It could be which food to eat based upon nutritional value or how you’re feeling in the moment. We compare ourselves with others in regard to financial worthy, societal worthy, importance in a group, etc. We are always making comparisons. Scripture calls us though to be singular in our focus as we…
Faith Sculpting Afflictions
We admittedly often desire a life of ease, even if we only will admit it subconsciously. How many have every made the statement: “If I could only get a break?” We don’t like “hard” things in life. But those are often the very things that shape our faith the most and even reveal the idols of our lives. Join us today as we are challenged and encouraged by a recent blog from a popular author. “The Prosperity Gospel We Sometimes…
