     | 9,729 views

    Our prayer life is a indicator of our reliance upon God. God’s will for each of us is that we so rely on Him that prayer is a spontaneous activity throughout our daily life as individuals and throughout our weekly activities as a church family.

    Last time, we thought together about how it is God’s will for each of His children to be joyful. Now today, I want us to spend some time reflecting on the second thing that Paul says is God’s will for each of us - v. 17. There are two ways in which this needs to be applied: 1. It must be applied ...read more

He was lost, but now he is found.’ (Luke 15:23, 24) Is Re-found really a word? Well, technically, no. But for this devotional and this lesson ...read more

    The dreams of Joseph lay out the larger vision of what God will fulfill in His life. What can we learn from it about the way God works?

    - Sermon series: “Character Amid Crisis.” - Joseph is not necessary the most important of the OT characters. That would probably go to Abraham or Moses or David.
