Faith and Prayer Are Inseparable
up to Holy Week as Jesus makes His Triumphal Entry into Jerusalem. This teaching is not one that should wait for a particular time of year or annual tradition.
God Wants the Best for Us Because He Loves Us That Much.
It is easy to have a sense of self sufficiency and an attitude of being strong in difficult times, but the truth is that without God we are incapable of making it very far.
The World Was Changed by the Love of God.
The Good News is not just for those who are wealthy, healthy, and experiencing smooth sailing in life right now, it is Good News to All People.
The Love of God the Changed The World
The good news for us all is that Jesus Christ himself never sinned and brought forgiveness, joy, and peace into this world; he showed us exactly how much better life with Him is.
The Joy of The Lord
We see a joyful young woman at the age of 13 with a son in her heart, a faith that is unshakeable, and a bounce in her step that can’t be robbed. Mary is not joyful because everything in her life is going Great! She is joyful because of her faith in God and what He has done, and is doing.
Holding Fast to Our Confession of Jesus.
Christmas is more than just a holiday. We are currently in the second week of Advent. In some traditions, it's a celebration of God's incarnation, or the humanity of God, as Jesus Christ entered human history and became a man. We're trying to figure out what impact Jesus' humanity should have on our daily routines.
The Lord is With You
Life isn't always what we expect it to be. Occasionally, things go better than anticipated. If I asked you to list a few unexpected pleasures in your life, you'd be able to come up with a couple.

Who and What is the Church
What is the church? Is it a place, a living entity, the body of believers? Is it one or all of those things? When we invite people to church, what are we inviting them to? Are we inviting them to be a part of our “group”, our denomination, our way of thinking, or are we inviting them to be a part of the body of Christ?
God’s Love and Grace
When it comes to portraying the human condition, the Bible can be quite somber and depressing as it describes the separation of man from God due to sin.
We Need God!
We can look at our current political landscape, situations at work and family, and any other areas of our life and become overwhelmed with what is going on. In situations that are out of our control to do anything about it seems like the only thing we can do is give up and be consumed by the impending discouragement and doubt.
