    Looking at how we can find that deep soul rest that we all need.

    Good morning, church! Today, we’re diving into one of the most comforting invitations in all of Scripture.

    Ruth has given up everything from her pagan past and has cast herself completely on the God of Israel. She is truly, in the words of verse 11, a “woman of noble character.”

    “Pain is inevitable; misery is optional.” We learn from the Book of Ruth how to overcome bitterness and emptiness through a steadfast faith. Ruth chose a pathway that changed her life and the course of history. We’re not sure how much time has transpired between chapters 2 & ...read more

    Rest, rest, rest. This is what I was told after my heart attck at age 34. It’s one thing to be told what you need to do, it’s another thing to be shown where the answer is.

    Just Get Some Rest! It’s funny that one of my favorite Bible verses, John 14:27, mentions the word “heart”. You see, I had a heart attack a couple of weeks ago, and that is one verse that I have been continually going back to. The KJV reads, “Let not your heart be troubled: neither let it be ...read more

It’s Footprints In the Sand by Mary Stevenson “After the last scene of my life flashed before me, I looked back at the footprints in the sand….

    When we come to a deserted place, God welcomes us with his healing grace and peace. He renews us and sends us out to share his gifts with the world. When we get tired, we come to God for rest and refreshment, and then the cycle continues.
