    Following his baptism Jesus is led into the wilderness by the Holy Spirit and is tempted by Satan. His temptation helps him to focus on who he is and what he has been called to do.

    Matthew 4:1-17 “Focused” INTRODUCTION It is interesting to see how Hollywood has interpreted the temptation of Jesus. The truth is that we don’t know exactly what happened. No one was present with Jesus, in the wilderness, to record what actually took place. There were no ...read more

    Purpose, Please Stand Up

    Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 12, 2025
     | 99 views

    Purpose rises when God’s word defines us, God’s anointing empowers us, and we step into the valley knowing the battle belongs to the Lord.

    There are moments in Scripture when God doesn’t whisper purpose—He shakes it into the bones of His people. And one of those moments erupts in 1 Samuel 17 when a young shepherd boy, overlooked by his family and underestimated by everyone else, stands on a battlefield and shouts a question that ...read more

    Have you ever been in a midnight moment? Paul and Silas were in such a moment—but what did they do? They didn’t complain. They didn’t curse. They didn’t quit. They sang. Trust Christ even when the prison doors haven’t yet opened. And God responded with a miracle.

    Go! And Sing in the Storm - Acts 16:25–26 (NLT) Acts 16:25–26 (NLT): “Around midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening. Suddenly, there was a massive earthquake, and the prison was shaken to its foundations. All the doors immediately flew ...read more

     | 8,860 views

    While purity includes a discussion on sexual morality as God defines it, it’s actually a word that is more about an idea that a definition.

    Have you ever asked, “What does God want from me?” “What is God really after?” As I read through the book of Ezekiel this question keeps coming up for me. And Ezekiel offers the answers. Last week Ezekiel told us that God wants exclusive worship. We received ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 9,386 views

    The words faith, hope, and love are concepts we need to be clung to as defined by God and not by the watered down, vague, poor imitations that our world suggests as the meanings.

A roadmap of discovering Jesus, and allowing him to purge and remove sinful habits, attitudes, thinking and living from our lives. Not because he’s mean that because he knows what’s ...read more
