Stepping out in faith…
When we are posed with the question, “Whose side are you on”? We may not realize our decision may be a defining moment in time. Joshua didn’t realize who he was talking to when he asked the question. 13 And then this, while Joshua was there near Jericho; He looked up and saw right in …
God sent Moses to lead the Israelites out of Egypt. But, they grumbled about leaving slavery. He promised them a land of milk and honey. When they were hungry, he provided them manna. All they had to do was go out and collect it every day. Only enough for the day because it would spoil …
As we continue our study in the book of Colossians, we come upon an argument between Peter and Paul. Let’s take a look at it. 11 When Cephas (Peter) came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face, because he stood condemned. 12 For before certain men came from James, he used to eat with …
Paul knew that the news he’d received by divine intervention was too good to keep to himself! He began immediately spreading the word to the Gentiles that this Jesus character was actually the Son of God. 16 To reveal his Son in me so that I might preach him among the Gentiles, my immediate response …

Continuing in our study of the book of James, we look at 5:7-12. 7 Be patient, then, brothers, until the Lord’s coming. See how the farmer waits for the land to yield its valuable crop and how patient he is for the autumn and spring rains. 8 You too, be patient and stand firm, because …
I look forward to Sundays. It wasn’t always like this. I used to lay in bed looking at the clock so I could sleep until the last minute. Not any more, I’m the first one at church, unlock the door, turn on the lights and soundboard. I use that quiet time to prepare my mind …
11 Brothers do not slander one another. Anyone who speaks against his brother or judges him speaks against the law and judges it. When you judge the law, you are not keeping it, but sitting in judgment on it. 12 There is only one Lawgiver and Judge, the one who is able to save and …
