Aligning My Will With God’s Series

Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Jan 21, 2018

The amazing story of Jonah reminds us: 1) Don't run from God, 2) When life gets you down, look up, 3) Respond to God's second chance, and 4) Get God's heart for people. Like Jonah, we need to give up the "reluctant prophet" role and stay in God's will.

Unity In God’s Family

Contributed by Dr. Jeffrey Dukeman on May 7, 2019

Jesus at Hanukkah distinguishes his work as the new temple from that of the Father. The Father and the Son's working together not only conveys their love and forgiveness to us, it also helps us work together and forgive amidst God's kingdom.

In our country’s history we’ve tended to value what’s been called “rugged individualism.” Each person should strive to work hard and take care of their own responsibilities. This has been a very helpful thing for our country. But this rugged individualism is misunderstood if we see community as a ...read more

Doubting God’s Provision

Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Mar 19, 2017

Like the Israelites of old, we are quick to complain and grumble and quarrel, and our fight really is with God, doubting his provision, forgetting what he has done for us in the past. But God is present and at work if we will only trust him.
