When God Messes Up Our Plans

Contributed by Dennis Lee on Dec 26, 2021

When Jesus was born, nobody expected it, and nobody made plans for it. But what it did was mess up everyone’s plans. Our plans don’t always go the way we want. So, when God messes up our plans, what can we do not to allow these plans changes to wreak havoc in our lives?

Wake Up, Church! Awaken Our Hearts Series

Contributed by Duane Wente on Aug 20, 2021

After all is said and done, we need to be living our lives like Jesus lived. We need to awaken our hearts by filling our hearts with the things of God, and living the life modeled by Jesus.

Evil is all around. Sin is running rampant. It’s time ...read more

Leafy Growth

Contributed by Jon Lipka on May 6, 2012
