    As Christians we are filled with the life and light of God. How can we release that life of God within to bless the world around us?

    What I am going to share today is not rocket science. However, if we understand it, it can help us to … more fully enjoy God, to more fully enjoy/marvel at who we are, and fulfill the reason for which God created us.

    People's experience with those in the church is often their first experience with Christianity. What are we to say when that experience was less than positive? How are we going to respond?

     | 148 views

    Persistent prayer matters because God hears, cares, and responds in His perfect timing, inviting us to trust Him even when answers seem delayed.

    Some prayers are born in bright rooms with balloons and birthday cake. Others are born at 2:13 a.m., when the house is quiet, the questions are loud, and the pillow is wet. Some prayers feel like sprinting—fast, full of faith. Others feel like limping—slow, sore, and short on strength. If you’ve ...read more
