    The amazing story of Jonah reminds us: 1) Don't run from God, 2) When life gets you down, look up, 3) Respond to God's second chance, and 4) Get God's heart for people. Like Jonah, we need to give up the "reluctant prophet" role and stay in God's will.

    Jonah 3:1-10 Aligning My Will with God’s Prophets with a Purpose – Week 2 Do you ever feel like some people are beyond hope, that they are incapable of change?

    Tongues build up the church only through clarity and love. True evidence of the Spirit is Christlike character and mission-driven unity.

    Why This Matters Today There has never been a time in history when God’s people didn’t desperately need the Holy Spirit. We need Him the way lungs need oxygen, the way a branch needs the vine, the way a traveler needs the road home. Without Him, faith collapses under its own weight. Without Him, ...read more

    The life of Rahab and Achan teach us some important lessons. While Rahab trusted God and stood firm in the faith, Achan coveted after worldly things which had serious consequences. The question is, “What kind of faith do we have?” and how is this faith displayed in our everyday lives.

    Today’s meditation is taken from 2 Corinthians 13:5, “Test yourselves to make sure you are solid in the faith. Don't drift along taking everything for granted. Give yourselves regular checkups.” (MSG) Paul was making an appeal to the Corinthian believers to examine themselves consistently to ...read more
