She Touched Me

Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 8, 2025

In a noisy crowd, one weary woman reached for Jesus—and discovered He’d been reaching for her all along.

1. The Room We’re In Sometimes you come to church, but your mind doesn’t. You sit down, still hearing the argument from breakfast, still turning over what the boss said on Friday, still carrying a silence at home that’s heavier than words. You look at the bulletin, nod to someone across the ...read more

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Feb 4, 2025

Jesus continues to show His compassion, love, and mercy by restoring sight to the blind, healing a paralyzed man, and giving life back to those who seemed to have lost all hope.

Express Kindness

Contributed by Chris Cuthbertson on Jun 7, 2024

Not every act of kindness pays ; it doesn’t always turn out to be profitable. In fact, often times kindness costs us something. But it is fulfilling, it is commanded, and it’s an important attribute of love.

Daughter Of The Most High

Contributed by Pastor Renji George on Jan 7, 2026

Like the sandalwood tree that imparts its fragrance to the axe that cuts it, a woman can become a blessing to many (even to the one who harms her) through what she has learnt of God in her sorrows!

The beautiful title a woman can have at any time of her life is ‘daughter’. She can rise up to any level with any impressive titles in her whole life. But ‘daughter’ is the title that assures her security, comfort, hope and belonging. When you are confident that you are not only called but are ...read more

Grab Hold Of The Authority And Power Of God

Contributed by James May on Aug 31, 2022

We must have God's authority and power with us if we are to fight the spiritual warfare in these last hours. We need faith to reach out and take hold of God's promises like the Woman with the issue of blood who took hold of the hem of his garment.
