Keep Going!
If you're going through something today, KEEP GOING! Don't linger there longer than you need to. God has empowered us to PASS THROUGH! Don't be duped by the enemy into believing that "God is in control"! He's not! He defeated the enemy and gave US the authority to do something about those things which try [...]
Develop Your Spirit
When needing to make a decision in life don't rely on your list of pros & cons to lead you. Your natural reasoning, might sound good, but it could be wrong.

Saved to Serve
Make up your mind to head out to church tomorrow! You may think there's nothing there for you, but perhaps YOU are just who THEY are needing. You might have that word of encouragement that could propel someone else to the next level! It's not there just to bless us, but it's what WE bring to [...]

Needing a Check-up From the Neck Up?
Some days we are in need of a "check-up from the neck up". In other words, what are you allowing yourself to think on? If that thought is against what you're believing for, you'd better cast it out and declare what you DO believe! Ask yourself what does the Word of God say about that [...]
Honor Those Who Are Faithful to Teach You
The month of October is Pastor Appreciation Month! Think of a way you can say thanks to your pastors for all they do for your family all year long! Maybe make a plate of their favorite cookies, write them a thank you card, give them a gift card or love offering. They sacrifice so much, [...]
Pray For Your Leaders

What you are blessed to experience on Sunday mornings does not just happen without time and much preparation behind the scenes all week long. And most do so while balancing secular jobs and families. Bring YOUR [...]
