"For this reason I, Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for the sake of you Gentiles-if indeed you have heard of the stewardship of God's grace which was given to ME for YOU; that by revelation there was made known to me the mystery..." So, revelation was given TO Paul FOR the church, and therefore [...]

Seek First to Understand
I truly love this quote. This is simply a practical application of the Biblical concept of 'preferring one another'. If we strive for this mindset in our approach to every relationship, it can be a win-win where neither person feels the need to act offensive or defensive. We can trust that the other person is [...]
We Get Hungry By Eating
Feeling in a slump spiritually? Missing the atmosphere and connection of meeting with and serving with other believers? Online services just not cutting it anymore? I recently read a poll by the Barna Group that stated in the last four weeks of quarantine that 48% of churchgoers have stopped attending online church altogether. That definitely [...]
God’s Will Sustains Us
Finding out God's will for your life and doing it will sustain you, just like Jesus. It's like food in your belly that satisfies like nothing else. Having an understanding of God's will for your life will keep you grounded when everything around you seems like shifting sand. Over the years there can be many [...]
Walking by the Spirit
What does it mean to live and walk "by the Spirit"? The Holy Spirit is the part of God that comes to reside on the inside of us when we've made the decision to invite Him in and call Him Lord. God is in heaven and Jesus is at His right hand, but the Holy [...]
Giving Is Trusting
Giving is one of the first challenges in our Christian walk, challenging our belief that we have been adopted into a new family and we now have a Father who wants to care for our every need. Maybe you have been taking care of yourself for many years; never had anyone you could truly rely [...]
We can’t ever really give away anything
Luke 6:38 “Give and it shall be given to you, good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, shall men pour into your lap.” God doesn’t have U.S. dollars up in heaven to rain down on us when we need it. But He made a way for us to partner with Him. And believe [...]
Go to Church Expecting
Make time this weekend to go to church. Expect God to show up when you show up! He wants to move mightily in our lives, but God is not moved by our needs, He is moved by FAITH. So, go expecting Him to move, because the Word says when we draw near to Him, He [...]
Set Free for His Divine Will
We've been set free not to be able to do our own thing, but for His divine will for our lives! That's thrilling! God isn't scrambling now that you've been made new, to find a plan and a purpose for your life. The plan has always been there just waiting on you to activate it [...]
Correction Is a Rescue!
Correction is always meant to be a rescue to us, if we'll let it. When a small child begins to step out into a street full of busy traffic, a parent must grab hold of them and pull them back to safety. When you are driving down the highway and you veer off momentarily, you [...]
