Stepping out in faith…
Did you ever notice that when you focus on one thing, other things can slip by you without notice? I’ve learned not to talk to my husband when he’s engrossed in the TV because he won’t hear me anyway. I’m just as bad, I don’t like to be bothered when I’m paying bills or trying …
I used to do New Year’s Resolutions, they never lasted for me because I wasn’t committed to them. Now I set goals and try to be realistic. But even then, the best laid plans sometimes don’t come to fruition because we didn’t consult with God. I’ve certainly been guilty of that in the past. Sometimes …
Yes, we spend a lot of time dreaming about the plans we have for our future. But sometimes God has a different plan. 11 “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Jeremiah 29:11 …
As you start to read the New Testament, Matthew shows us the genealogy of Jesus. What an odd thing to start a book with. At least I used to think so. I would often skip that part because I didn’t understand the importance of it. I get it now. God is showing us that someone …
As I prepare to write the blog post about our sermon each Sunday, I look over my notes and references from the Bible text. I look to God for his guidance before I start to type and ask him to guide my words. This sermon series has been a tough one personally. When I look …
Why is it that we can’t take God at his word? Time after time in the Bible we see people try to take things into their own hands to make God’s promises happen. When will we realize God doesn’t need our help! He’s God. He can do whatever he pleases. We’ve been in a sermon …
Sometimes bad people do good things and sometimes good people do bad things. The end doesn’t always justify the means. As Christians, we should always be intent on glorifying God in all that we do. But, what we do can’t keep God’s will from happening. God will make a way if it’s his will. The …
This is my take on the sermon for 10/2/22. That may seem like a strange title for a blog post about Genesis 26, but that’s what caught my attention right away. Callouses can make things easier, but it takes time and hard work to build them. Our pastor talked about building callouses as a drummer …
As I began reading my daily devotionals, I read this quote… To trust God in the light is nothing. But to trust Him in the dark, that is faith.— Charles Spurgeon I can remember my dad saying it’ll work out. Even though money was tight or it didn’t seem to make sense to feel that …
There will always be uncertainties in life, even for those who believe in God. He never promised we wouldn’t have trouble. Satan likes to cause disruption however he can. God did promise he would be with us. If you’d like to listen to this complete sermon as a podcast, click here. As we look at …
