Christmas Plans—Part 1

You have your holiday all mapped out, but what do you do when God suddenly changes your plans? Will abandon your plans and follow God’s lead? See how Mary handled the unexpected.

Sunday Praise

Blessed be the LORD God, the God of Israel,Who alone works wonders.And blessed be His glorious name forever;And may the whole earth be filled with His glory. Amen, and Amen. – Psalm 72:18-19 (NASB)

The Evidence of God in You

Your faith in Jesus—your faithfulness in serving Him—is evident to those around you even if you don’t say a word to them. We see this in 1 Samuel 16 where Samuel anointed David and “the Spirit of the LORD came mightily upon David from that day forward (verse 13).” Tragically, “the Spirit of the LORD […]

The Miracle Standing Before Them

Judging with Discernment

At the end of what are commonly referred to as the Beatitudes, Matthew 7:28 tells us: “When Jesus had finished these words, the crowds were amazed at His teaching; for He was teaching them as one having authority, and not as their scribes (NASB).” The people could tell that this was the Son of God; […]
