This Was the Work of God
We may not recognize things all the time, and we may tend to gloss over the hand of God providing, leading, and protecting but it’s there. How great it is when we behold His work, especially when there is absolutely no other way to explain things than to say, “this was the hand of God.” […]
The Power of the Holy Spirit
Could you use a little power? Who doesn’t want that, especially when it comes to serving God and accomplishing those things that He has commanded us in His word.

Living In the Power of The Resurrection

The Problem of a Divided Heart

In His Image
How well are you bearing the image of your Creator? That’s a fine question you may say, but let’s consider some facts. First, we were made in the image of God. Genesis 1:27 (ESV) — 27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female […]

The Day of Small Things
We live in a day when judgment is made regarding the success by the size of accomplishment albeit in numbers, income, or accomplishments.

Our Defense Is Christ
The security of the believer in the Lord Jesus Christ is described in a variety of ways, but none so strong as a fortress as found in Romans 8:34. Romans 8:34 (ESV) — 34 Who is to condemn? Christ Jesus is the one who died—more than that, who was raised—who is at the right hand […]
