Whatever God is saying to you, take the time to listen and obey. Start there, and you’ll be amazed at the transformation that follows. I can promise you this: in a week, a month, or even a year from now, you will find yourself filled with joy, eager for worship to continue, because you have made the right choices. You’ll be standing at the right altar, connected with God, with

The Apostle Paul speaks of a peace that surpasses understanding—a profound sense of well-being that often has little to do with our external circumstances. As the hymn goes, “It is well with my soul,” this can become your song, no matter what we face or hear in the news. You and I can find comfort in knowing that Christ restores our souls. We all make mistakes, and our lives

“And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.” (Romans 8:28) This encompasses all things—not just the pleasant or the easy moments, but every experience that you and I encounter. Each situation contributes to our growth and development as believers in Christ. Even if the challenges we have faced we

God is always watching over us. We are the thought in His heart and the apple of His eye. He cares for you today and every day. If we turn to Him and let Him be our Shepherd, you and I will not lack for provision or a sense of well-being. As David once said, “He makes me to lie down in green pastures.” When I first came to faith, I began reading the Word of God and was grateful

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul. (Psalm 23:1-3) Psalm 23, written by King David, beautifully illustrates that God is our Shepherd.

I found myself in the hospital, uncertain whether he would regain full use of his hand or suffer permanent scarring. We also lost everything twice—once to a fire and once to a flood. I jokingly told Pastor Teresa that the only thing left for us was an earthquake, but

The voice of the Lord is above the waters; the God of glory thunders; the Lord is over many waters. The voice of the Lord is powerful; the voice of the Lord is full of majesty. (Psalm 29:3-4) Even though the sounds of the world may seem confusing, ferocious, and even deafening, God is saying to you, “My voice is above the noise.” All those destructive voices and sounds that hav

For the Lord is the great God, and the great King above all gods. In His hand are the deep places of the earth; the heights of the hills are His also. The sea is His, for He made it, and His hands formed the dry land. (Psalm 95:3-5) If you’ve ever had one of those weeks when it seemed like everything that could go wrong did, thank God for the knowledge that He holds all things in

When you face betrayal and struggles in your life, you may encounter moments when you feel you lack the strength to move forward. You might even want to throw in the towel or call it quits, but these challenges are inevitable.
