Ever visit a strange city where you don't yet know the lay of the land or maybe don't speak the language? It's incredibly helpful to have a tour guide who can easily show you all the ins and outs and help you navigate the unknown smoothly. That's exactly what Jesus told us the Holy Spirit [...]

Giving Should STRETCH Our Faith
In John 6 this is the telling of when Jesus feeds 5 thousand men, so when you count their wives and a couple of children per family, we could be talking about 20 thousand, easily.

Freedom Requires Responsibilty
As we celebrate our many freedoms today let's not forget that "It is for FREEDOM we’ve been set free" Gal. 5:1. Our chains have been released not just so we can run and jump and be free, but so that we can reach out to those near us and release them from theirs! Jesus was anointed to [...]
