Sunday Praise

But as for me, by Your abundant lovingkindness I will enter Your house, At Your holy temple I will bow in reverence for You. – Psalm 5:7 (NASB)

Walking the Dusty Road of Life with Christ

What was it like to be a disciple with Jesus; to hear the crunch of rocks under your feet as you walk the dusty roads with him; to hear his voice as he spoke to the crowds that followed him; to witness the miracles? What was it like? Imagine being in the boat when the storm arose (Mark 4:35-41) and feeling panic as the boat fills with water.

Just Punishment

It’s a profound line. One of the criminals crucified with Jesus said, “And we indeed are suffering justly, for we are receiving what we deserve for our deeds; but this man has done nothing wrong (Luke 23:41, NASB).” Indeed, we deserve to suffer, deserve death for our sins. We deserve to be on that cross […]

Prayer Journey – Forward in Faith

God has laid out a plan for your life, a journey that will lead you to “a land flowing with milk and honey (Num. 14:8).” With each new step, he asks us to follow him in faith. The challenge is to not do what the Israelites did and take your eyes off God, to not let fear take hold of you.

Three Lessons from Three Denials

When Jesus foretold Simon Peter’s denials prior to his crucifixion, he also gave us some important instructions. In Luke 22:31-32 Jesus said, “Simon, Simon, behold, Satan has demanded permission to sift you like wheat; but I have prayed for you, that your faith may not fail; and you, when once you have turned again, strengthen […]

Prayer Journey — Discontent

Can I be content with what you have given me; with the burdens I carry? At times I feel loaded down by life, overwhelmed by its struggles. Yet you know me. You created me. You know me inside and out. Your wisdom tells me discontent is a spiritual attack by the evil one. He is […]
