    This was a creative way we presented the Easter Story. We looked at the ways that Easter Jesus is better than Christmas Jesus and then decorated the auditorium half as Easter and half as Christmas. It worked very well.This post is Part Two of Top Ten Reasons.

    In a world that bombards us with bad news, there is hope and good news only through Jesus Christ. The good news of the gospel can transform all of our situations if only we give heed and believe.

    Here’s what is recorded in Luke 2:10, but the angel said to them, "Don't be afraid! I am here with good news for you, which will bring great joy to all the people. (GNB) From the above mentioned verse, the word that I would like to highlight for our meditation is the word ‘good news’. ...read more

     | 1,618 views

    What is the secret to a life of overflowing abundance? There’s much we can learn from the life of David and Abraham. God can bless abundantly if only we can follow certain principles, and let go of thoughts and attitudes that displease God.

    We read in 2 Corinthians 9:8, “Besides, God is able to make every blessing of yours overflow for you, so that in every situation you will always have all you need for any good work.” (ISV) This is Paul’s words to the church at Corinth and he wished them that they would be full and overflowing with ...read more

    You can try to change God’s way or you can change the world’s way. You can change with the help of God or you can try to change with the help of self. You can try an inside-out kind of change or an outside-in kind of change.

    I grew up in the church. My dad was a pastor.

    There is something intensely individualistic and ego affirming in the idea that you make your own way. We would all like to think that we could pull ourselves up by our own boot straps, that we are ‘self-made people.’
