Matthew: Blessed are the Peacemakers

January 12, 2021

Never forget, you already know the God of peace who has given you the peace of Christ.  So let us refuse to let the chaos and confusion of our day steal your peace.  But let the God of peace reign in our hearts and make us peacemakers like Him.  For our world needs God’s peace, but it also needs peacemakers, who know the Prince of Peace.

The Gospel: How The Gospel Changes Our Lifestyle

October 5, 2020

Many times God puts difficult people in our lives – not to test our patience – but so we can shine the spotlight of God’s grace in their lives.  Remember, Jesus says, “You are the light of the world.”  And the way you shine your light is by peddling grace to people who need grace! Because that’s what God did for you, when He saved you.

Rooted: When Your Faith Is Tested

July 30, 2019

When you see the big picture of how God is uses adversity to form Christ in you, then you’ll begin to understand why God doesn’t always protect you from hard things.  God is not a helicopter parent. He’s not interested in growing soft, mamby-pamby Christ-followers.  He doesn’t protect you from trials, but allows them in your life so you won’t lack in anything.

Rooted in the Word, Part 3

May 27, 2019

I don’t know of anything more discouraging than life without hope.  And God’s Word gives us hope in spades!  Hope to change.  Hope that no matter what chaos is swirling around us, God is in control.  Hope for help in whatever we are facing.  Hope for encouragement when our souls are downcast.  Hope for forgiveness when we blow it.  Hope in the truth that God will never let you go. Hope in the face of suffering and death. And hope for the day when we see Jesus face to face.  God’s Word can give you hope.

The Story of God: The Mysterious Ways of God

July 25, 2017

God hears your prayers.   And sometimes He needs to work in you or your surroundings before He’s ready to answer. You see, God had to do His work in Joseph, and He had to do His work in Pharaoh, and when the time was right, Pharaoh was ready to hear from God through Joseph. God works in mysterious ways. His timing is not like ours.

The Story of God: Birth of the Heel Grabber

September 9, 2016

God’s mercy toward Jacob is a reminder of God’s mercy to us. For just as He chose to bless Jacob by giving him mercy, God has done the same for us: He loved us before we were born and chose to bless us by making us heirs with Christ. We didn’t do anything to deserve this. God did it all for us, even when we were still sinners. And God is still loving and merciful today. And that’s good news. Because that means that no one is too sinful who God cannot save.
