Trust Is Not A Destination

Spiritual Health Is About Dependency

Contributed by Daren Mitchell on Apr 21, 2014

Your dependency on God results in worship as a lifestyle.

Is Jesus At The Center Of All You Do And Think

Contributed by Daren Mitchell on Apr 22, 2014

You can choose to humble yourself, though it's not an easy thing to do, I know, and God will involve you in what He's doing; God wants to involve you in what He's doing...but, it's always on His terms not yours.

Contributed by Coz Von on Aug 27, 2017

I can plead, “Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me” (Psalm 51:10,), that’s His promise. No matter how bruised, broken, or bloody I may become in this life, I have a Friend who is always standing by, come just as you are!

As soon as the phone rang I knew it was her, and I knew I’d have to make some sort of excuse. “I can’t make it to your party tonight,” I apologized weakly, “I’m just . . . just . . . not up to it.” There was silence on the other end for a few seconds. Then Katie responded, “Melissa, you haven’t ...read more

Getting In Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 2, 2021

So often we hear stories about dying and coming to the golden gate and dickering with Peter whether we should be allowed in or not. This would be a tragic mistake to wait until you die to find out if you can get in.
