    There’s Always More

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jul 15, 2023
     | 2,051 views

    Even when we feel drained physically and financially, we still need to offer what resources we do have - and in so doing, find that we can do more than we thought.

    I have a lot of fellow feeling for the disciples in today’s story. I expect all of us who have put so much time and effort into VBS do, too. It’s done!

     | 3,801 views

    The Devil has done his work of discouragement for a long time. If you feel discouraged, you are not alone. God's children do get discouraged. But what did Jesus mean when he said that we can have “life more abundantly,” “life to the full?”

    Alba 8-18-13 (Revised 10-23-2022) HELP ME GOD, I'M DISCOURAGED John 10:10 I don’t know if this story about Abraham Lincoln is true or not, but the story is told that Lincoln was surprised one day when a rough looking man drew a revolver and pushed it in his face. "Abe" figured ...read more
