    Joy comes to us when we surrender our will, for the will and power of our Father, His Son and The Holy Spirit

    So maybe you’ve heard it said, ‘read your bible’ so you tried and failed. Our hope as leaders is that all of us will pick up God’s word and come to understand the true nature of God.

He is not looking for polish; He is listening for honesty. He is not impressed by our resumes; He is moved by our repentance. We’ve all had those moments—hands ...read more

     | 194 views

    Elijah’s encounter with the widow of Zarephath shows how God uses seasons of loss and exposure to bring healing and faith. When God turns on the light, it isn’t to shame us, but to lead us to confession, forgiveness, and life.

    When God Turns on the Light GM. Elijah may almost seem like a superhero when you read through some of the events in his life: He’s the prophet who calls down fire from heaven a number of times, most famously in the Battle on Mt Carmel with the Prophets of Baal. At the end of his life, he ascends ...read more
