Why we Serve: This week we make a resolve to serve joyfully. Many times we focus on the “what” of serving, and not on the “why” of serving. I believe if we could conquer the “why”, the “what” would flow naturally from our lives. The Bible says in Romans 12:1 “Therefore, I urge you, brothers … Read More

The old song “God Pleaser” came to mind when I read Colossians 1:9-10. No one wants to be a man-pleaser, but there is always a danger that our best efforts and our most precious resources are being spent to please those around us instead of daily acts of worship. Probably just like you; the words … Read More

 Today’s reading: Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ, from whom the whole body, joined and held together by every joint with which it is equipped, when each part is working properly, makes the body grow so that it builds … Read More

Planted to Grow This week we are resolving to “grow” with God.  I’m sure many you have the will and desire to grow with God. However, as with anything that grows it needs to be planted in the right environment. As we start to grow in God together we need to be reminded that where … Read More

Philippians 4:6 & 7 “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.”   This was the very first scripture I ever memorized. God lead … Read More

Psalms 2:8 “Ask Me, and I will make the nations your inheritance, the ends of the earth your possession.”   Ask Me. With these two simple words we invite God to take control. The scripture above encourages us to ask for the nations. So, my question to you today is: What are you asking God … Read More
