    There is a difference between Joy and Happiness. The world would say they are the same. What does God say?

    “Lost in Translation” Introduction: Many times we can approach life with a sense of defeat. I had a negative friend I used to hang out with in High School.

    What God Is Looking For…

    Contributed by Thomas Bowen on May 7, 2009
     | 2,092 views

    After seeing the disciples of Jesus hiding in the upper room it is hard to imagine that they had any vision of their own. That is why it is important to understand how God sees things and what he is watching for.

    Last week we looked at the slowness of Easter’s arrival for the disciples. They were locked away in a room. They were full of fear and doubts. Jesus appears, it would be easy to claim that that fixed everything for the disciples. But it did not; we know that if we read through the different ...read more

    A look at the father in the parable of the Prodigal Son as an example of Godly fatherhood.

    An Exemplary Father Luke 15:11-24 FATHER’S DAY IS ALMOST UPON US and it reminded me of a story I read about a dad who really understood his role.

    Taking principles from the prodigal son and comparing them to our nation, we can see that our nation’s culture has been taken for granted.

    Let Us Not Forget Luke 15:11-24 * The story of the “Prodigal Son” has reached legendary status. Almost every person (believer or unbeliever) can give a general storyline. Let’s see if we can simplify it. A man had two sons. The older one was a hard working boy who understood and accepted ...read more

    The love that our heavenly Father has for us is recklessly extravagant, and is able to fill the Father hunger within us.
