    God wants us to take care of things that he has given us, but he also wants us to take care of other people, especially the poor. Sometimes that means we have to sell what we have and give the money to the poor.

    Good morning boys and girls! Do you have a favourite toy or piece of clothing? How do your treat it? Do you take care of it or are you rough with it? All of us have things that we have to take care of especially if we have received it as a gift. Do you know someone else who have given us things ...read more

    Israel had an area of defeat -- Jericho. They could never advance in their walk with God until they overcame that obstacle. But it was impossible for them to conquer, on their own. We too have Jerichos that have held us back, but with God they'll fall

    What are we projecting to other people about our service to the Lord if we are complaining about it instead of having fun while we are doing it? We get hung up when people in the world try to trip us up and slow down our walk to a crawl.

    Waking Up Is Hard to Do Revelation 3:1-6 "To the angel of the church in Sardis write: These are the words of him who holds the seven spirits of God and the seven stars. I know your deeds; you have a reputation of being alive, but you are dead. 2 Wake up! Strengthen what remains and is about to ...read more
