    God is here to bring healing through relationships with God and each other.

    Retell the story of the man who was paralyzed. I wonder: What conversation did they have that day? Did they get up that morning planning to see this Jesus they’d heard about?

    Out of desperation Jonah offers a foxhole prayer; with no repentance, blaming God, self-righteousness and false piety. God's mercy still continues to be shown to Jonah as God rescues Jonah. It is an unanticipated outcome.

    Message Jonah 2:1-10 Rescued by a Merciful God The story is told of an emergency meeting of the church council called by the senior pastor. At the end of the meeting with nothing accomplished, the pastor looked around and then said, “There’s nothing left to do but to pray!” One of the overseers ...read more

    God often brings us to a point of desperation to reveal His abundant provision, reminding us of the spiritual warfare we face daily and the victory we can achieve through faith in Him.

    Good morning, family! We’re diving deep today into the heart of Second Kings, chapter seven, verses three through twenty. But before we do, let’s bring to mind the wise words of Pedro Okoro: "Spiritual warfare is very real. There is a furious, fierce, and ferocious battle raging in the realm of the ...read more

    Luke tells us more about the women in Jesus’ life than any other gospel. Jesus on his way to deliver one daughter is detained by another one. Study the details... Discover your duty.

    Luke’s gospel has several unique features. I’d like to point out a couple of these: First, Luke is the only Gentile writer in the Bible and yet by volume, he contributed more that any other New Testament writer, more even than Paul. We’ve said this before, but it bears repeating. Second, ...read more
