    Things in this life can weigh us down, but God intended for us to soar like eagles!

    It’s so wonderful to see God use our mistakes to bring forth His victory in our lives, just as he did for Joshua and Israel.

    In Joshua 10 things really speed up. The conquest of the Amorites is complete and then Joshua and the people go into fast motion and conquer all of southern Canaan. To get to this point, though takes a lot of effort and God even works a miracle by elongating a day in order for their efforts to be ...read more

    This is on the Letter to Philadelphia

    Some places have locked doors where you can’t go. Many businesses have “security doors” to control who can and can’t get in or out. Stores have “open doors” at the front, but closed doors in the back. We are to use the “open” door, not the closed one. Read Revelation 3:7-13. There are some ...read more

    “Courageous Under Fire”? Is when you face the unknowns (and sometimes the known) and have no clue as to how the outcome will be. Yet, because of one’s trust and faith in God, the individual steps out in faith and pursue his/her god-given assignment.

    I was having difficulty with this topic because of recent setbacks in my life. However, I’ve come to the conclusion that setbacks are God’s opportunity for setups! Amen! Circumstances do not stop what God has for His children: that’s you and me. This morning, I want to speak on ...read more

Jesus specializes in recovery and transformation. Our God is a God of Recovery, interested in restoring and ...read more
