    God steps into your life to bless you. His promises are meant to be kept. Faith is a willingness to trust God. Time is on God's side. Enjoy His presence in the journey.

    I came across this phrase, “When God hijacks my life” recently in my reading and finds it interesting. • It was used in the good sense. When God surprises you with something that you do not expect and is unprepared for, and takes you on a new path or a new ...read more

    Last week we discussed what it meant to love with a testimony. This week we will talk about one major obstacle to loving biblically. Below is the outline notes to the message.

    In our relationship to God, we were challenged in a resolve to repent of our sins, to fear God more, to surrender our idols, to think with a godly mindset, to remember His sacrifice for us, and to love biblically. Loving biblically is not a feeling or an erotic passion. To love biblically takes ...read more
