You ever have someone ask, “How are you?” and you knew they meant it? It was as if the question wasn’t just a question but also a statement, saying, “You matter to me. I care about you. I see you. I want to know how you’re doing, because I’m with you. And...
When Jesus ascends into heaven He tells His disciples to wait for the Holy Spirit to come in power. Ten days later the Holy Spirit comes and fills the early church with power allowing it to expand quickly around the world. In Ephesians, we find that through His Spirit, Jesus gives the church...
WE the CHURCH. Sometimes we think we are called to go it alone. Sometimes we think we have to be strong in all areas of faith. Sometimes we want to be alone and in control. God is inviting you to let go of these vain and destructive ideas. All of...
How comfortable are you in your own skin? How confident are you that God knew what He was doing when He knit you together? Do you ever look at others and think, I wish I could be like them instead of like me? This is different from a desire to grow as a person...even to...

I grew up reading and watching stories of distant lands, far countries, and galaxies far, far away. They stretched my imagination and wonder. Often, the characters in the stories were called to leave the comfort and security of home because they were needed elsewhere. In some of those stories...
God has a history of working in and through young people. The Bible is full examples of young people who did extraordinary things with God. David was a boy when he defeated the giant. Josiah was only 8 when he became king, and he led the entire nation of Judah back to God. Esther saved a nation...
I drew a line in the sand. Literally. We were coming to the end of our week in Mexico where we had built a home and a friendship with a family there, but there was still something to be done, an invitation to be made. Because I don’t believe Jesus is interested in us just doing good...
