Healing & Wholeness: Faith Is More Than A Feeling. Series

Contributed by Dean Courtier on Aug 20, 2015

Feelings are real – we truly experience them. We don’t imagine them and God has created us with the capacity for an incredibly wide range of emotions and feelings. If we regularly read the Bible and think about God’s promises, our faith will increase.

Faith is more than a feeling How do you feel right now? Have you ever thought about how many emotions and feelings we can have? Do you find it easy to express emotions?

I Know Just The Right Person For The Job!

Contributed by Nickolas Kooi on Jun 13, 2017

We often can feel inadequate and ill-prepared to witness our faith, and to share God's Word with others. However, like the prophet Isaiah, God has prepared us through our life experiences and His Word. He has forgiven us, and He has sent us.

“I know just the right person for the job!” This is a phrase that we can be very familiar with in our lives. It is one that we heard with the elections, as people told us whom they taught were the best candidates. It is a phrase we may hear at work as we suggest people for vacant positions. It ...read more

Experiencing Grace

Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Nov 15, 2016

The Impossible Is Indispensable Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 7, 2021

Certainly all of us have had the experience of not knowing how to express our gratitude. Thanks sometimes seems so inadequate, and even when we add thanks so very much, and thanks a million, it leaves us with a sense of having very poorly expressed how we feel.

The concept of the impossible changes from generation to generation. Much of what we do today was once thought to be impossible. Because of this, we are more cautious today in what we include in the category of the impossible. We are no longer quick to say it can't be done. What is apparently ...read more
