Helping Hands

You can feel the conviction inside. God has made you for a reason. He has a purpose for your life. He has given you certain skills that he wants you to use for His Kingdom. Yet maybe it’s overwhelming to think about completing the task God has given you. You’re not alone. He has also […]

What Are You Seeking in Life?

What are you seeking in life? Amidst the hectic pace, the demands and challenges on you, do you stop and ask what is driving you? In John 1:35-42, John the Baptist pointed out Jesus walking to two of his disciples and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God (35, NASB)!” The disciples then followed Jesus. Perhaps […]

“Go!” I’ll Show You Later Where
