    : Is your waiting room actually a weight room? In seasons where nothing moves and prayers seem unheard, faith can feel like stagnant waiting. But faith is a verb, not a noun.

    Here's what I've noticed: most of us treat faith like an emergency button. Something you only push when there's a crisis. When the diagnosis is bad, when the job is gone, when everything is falling apart. But what happens in the seasons when nothing is falling apart and nothing is ...read more

    Everyone struggles with purpose, but how should we look for our purpose from God.

    The LORD said, "Go out and stand on the mountain in the presence of the LORD , for the LORD is about to pass by."

    How would you respond if God called your name not once, but twice? In the Bible, God calls plenty of people often by name, but I’ve only found seven times where God calls out someone’s name twice in a row. In each instance, what follows is a life-changing encounter with the God of creation.

    When God Calls Your Name… Twice: Samuel Scott Bayles, pastor Blooming Grove Christian Church: 8/14/2016 Hearing your name called can evoke different responses depending on the circumstances. For instance, there’s a sense of fear and anxiety when you’re a student and you hear your name called over ...read more
