    Useful To God

    A thing is useful when it does what it is made to do. A saw cuts, a hammer pounds, a drill bores holes. We are useful when we do what God made us to do.

    When we say that we follow Jesus, what does this really mean to us and what does it say to others they see us?

    Intro: When we say that we follow Jesus, what does this really mean to us and what does it say to others they see us?

    Does God Care For Us?

    We sometimes wonder if God really does care for us, It's a question that suddenly came to my mind and after giving it a lot of thought I came to the conclusion that God does care for all of us.

    With so many things going on in this realm that we live in, there is no doubt in me that we all go through difficult times. So many are sick, have lost a loved one, have no job, are hurting, do not know where the next meal is coming from, many are disappointed in themselves or with their loved ...read more

    Our love isn’t defined by our world, our parents, or even our own feelings but by Jesus’ life. We love one another the way Jesus loved us. What does this mean? Let me give you four marks that you can remember if you can spell the word LOVE.

    What Jesus left to his disciples when he told them he was leaving, he also left to us:a place to enjoy, a path to ensue, and a power to employ.
