I think when it comes to living this life God has given us, it comes down to one of two ways. The first, to see your life as YOUR LIFE, to do what you want to do, and that you see God, God loves you,…

Today as you can see by the title, we are going to discuss the truth about God’s plan. But as we begin, I want to state something very clearly… and that is that we cannot understand everything about …

Last week as we celebrated Easter, I shared with you that one belief can change everything about your life. Looking back, I might should have added…one belief can change everything about your life… b…

Isn’t it amazing how JUST ONE BELIEF can change everything about your life? But it doesn’t have to be a new invention or a new discovery in space or technology… It can be something you believe about …

Instead of trying to find life only through the law, or by only living for the flesh, we instead are to live by the Spirit, walking closely with our “Abba” Father, who enables us to endure our presen…

Even after being freed from the law, we still will struggle with living in the flesh.  We know we should do better.  And we know that we shouldn’t do things we keep on doing.  The law is not our mast…

Love the story of the Battle of Jericho… but I think most of you know how it goes… Get to Jericho, walled city, march around it once day for 6 days, seventh day walked around it 7 times, then blew th…

Did you ever dream of being a superhero as a child? Superman, being able to fly? Hulk, being super strong? Batman, think his superpower was being super rich. I liked Spiderman as a child, climbing wa…

Merry Christmas! Are you ready for Christmas? Doesn’t matter, it’s coming next Sunday! A lot of things in like happen, even if we feel we aren’t ready for them. Because God doesn’t ask us if we’re re…

Imagine if the cure for COVID was finally discovered? In fact, what if the cure for COVID was also the cure for cancer? And since we’re just dreaming here, and what if this cure wasn’t tainted with p…
