Set Free by Grace

Are you free from slavery to sin? Have you received the grace of Christ which sets you free from sin and sin’s result, which is death? Some have never received this grace and that’s the good news for today. You can be set free because of God’s grace, His free gift of salvation. Many others…

Retreat to Advance

Do you feel weary? Do you feel exhausted, or is your strength giving out? What do you do when you feel this way? Do you react by spending more time in bed, or overeating or turn to substances? What coping mechanisms do you use? Most of us do not think of retreating, because we think…

Weakness to Strength

The world makes heroes of the bold, the beautiful and the strong. Hollywood actors, professional athletes, self-promoting politicians… these are the ones that we elevate to power and influence.

Stand Firm…in Suffering

Suffering often causes a theological problem for us. We put our trust in God, yet bad stuff still happens. We pray for healing, yet a loved one dies.

Living Worthy of God’s Call (1 Thessalonians 2:1-16)

In Paul’s first letter to the Thessalonians, he told the believers that they could live a life worthy of God’s call to His kingdom and glory. We can live lives worthy of God’s call to His kingdom and glory. The text found in 1 Thessalonians 2:1-16 gives four marks of those who live worthy of…

Be Filled

Jesus promised that those who received Him would experience abundant life, full and overflowing. Are you experiencing this life today? Or do you ever feel empty and powerless? Do you dream of living a life of fulfillment, a life filled with passion and purpose? In the apostle John’s first letter, he told his hearers that they…
