    Paul's love for the church of Philippi motivated his prayers for them. What does this demonstrate for us as we pray for our churches today?

    Introduction In our modern world of instant communication, it's very easy to react to good news. When we see a friend post about a blessing or an achievement, we can send a quick 'like' or a heart emoji in a matter of seconds. It’s a simple, momentary expression of our happiness for ...read more

    How do you respond when you’re hit with distressing news? Do you respond in anger? Do you respond in fear? Do you respond by immediately jumping up and trying to fix the problem? None of those responses were Nehemiah’s first response.
