Be A Good Reflection
This morning we talk about THE LIGHT!!!! There are 2 important things about light: 1-it dispels the darkness around it, and 2- it reflects off of other objects. We can learn a very valuable spiritual lesson regarding THE LIGHT, Jesus Christ and what it means for us today.
Read MoreFearfully & Wonderfully Made
This morning we unpack a very popular and well known Scripture: Psalm 139:14. This verse has been quoted often, but today we dive deeper into the context of what it truly means to be wonderfully made AND fearfully made at the same time. We typically understand what being ‘wonderfully made’ means, but we don’t often think about the flipside of that phrase: being ‘fearfully’ made. The psalmist gives us a stark reminder with that phrase and it is a very important one indeed.
Read MoreGod’s Attitude Towards Us
Sometimes life gets us down and we get hard on ourselves. There are many times in our journey of faith as a disciple of Jesus that we get the ‘spiritual blues’ and experience ‘spiritual Mondays’. When this happens we can sort of forget how God truly feels about us. Our enemy also wants us to have a distorted view of how God truly feels about us. We learn the truths of God’s feelings towards us from the Old Testament prophet Zephaniah. When we know these truths, they can be anchors for our souls.

There are many problems in our society today that can be blamed on all types of things, but there is actually one problem behind it all: our sin. God has a solution for this problem and it’s the propitiation of Jesus Christ. Jesus has become our ‘mercy seat’ where we can meet with God.
Read MoreSpring Cleaning
Spring cleaning is upon us!!! Most people feel the urge to clean the house, clean the garage, & clean the yard every spring. Clean up the place and throw things away, repair things that need to be fixed, & not plateau or get settled with the mundane. Most people like a clean house. This can apply to us spiritually as well. We need to spiritually ‘clean the house’ often. ‘Spiritual cleanliness is next to Godliness”. Today we look at what God’s Word says about this topic.
