    How does God want me to pray?

    We’re going to be talking about four letter words that, when used here in the Church make us cringe, raise an eyebrow or we shy away from because they make us uncomfortable. And I’m not talking about curse words, although we might give a similar reaction. I’m talking about ...read more

    The great thing is that as Christians, we don't have to wait until there is proclamation, or wait for a certain day in order to pray. The call to pray is stated clearly in scripture. One place especially clear is found in II Chronicles 7:14.

    Alba 5-5-2024 PRAY II Chronicles 7:14 This past Thursday, May 2nd, was the National Day of Prayer. A bill was passed on April 17, 1952 stating that: “The President shall set aside and proclaim a suitable day each year, other than a Sunday, as a National Day of Prayer, on which the people of ...read more

    We all suffer from seasons of sadness, but that does not mean joy is out of reach. In times of depravity, anxiety, pain and suffering, Jesus Christ awaits us to lay it at his feet so that we may be filled with joy.

    Season of Sadness (Headline) Have you ever noticed just how different people act during this time of year? There are some who are typically unappealing the entire year who turn into the most wonderful people to be around. And then there are people who are usually very delightful who start becoming ...read more

    Having joy is not dependent on circumstances but comes from God, is Jesus-specific, and something that we are called to practice.

    Introduction: A Joyless World As we continue listening to these songs for the road, we come to a song of joy. To begin I want to read a couple of quotes about joy. C.S. Lewis once said this: “We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition, when infinite joy is offered ...read more

    Always be joyful. Never stop praying. Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus.

    Today's scripture verse encourages us to be joyful always, pray all the time and give thanks no matter the circumstances; good or "not so good" as I always say. But is it possible to do all the above when you are facing challenges and struggles in your life? Well, beloved, I will ...read more

    People display joy (intense happiness or great delight) over all sorts of things – a new house, a new car, a new baby. What makes joy, as a fruit of the Spirit any different than joy in general?

    “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law” (Galatians 5:22-23). Thinking of this week’s subject, joy, I was having a tough time getting my mind around the idea. Joy, according to ...read more
