When we find ourselves between the storms of life it doesn’t mean we’ll have a time that is critic free. Jesus Himself had to deal with critics around every corner, sometimes from His own disciples who were slow to learn. As we study Matthew 15:1-14 and look at the events just following the storm, it’s…
In 1 Corinthians 16:13-16 Paul exhorts the Corinthians to be addicted to the ministry – are we?
Romans 12 presents the Christian with the plea from the Apostle Paul to present our lives to Christ as a living sacrifice. When we allow the Word of God and all the has been done for us by Him to seep into every fiber of our being, what a transformation that takes place!
How often do we think of being a servant to others? When we consider Eliezer in Genesis 24:1-27, he was given great responsibility as a servant of Abraham to find Isaac a bride. Christ Himself was the ultimate servant as He came to earth and bore our sins upon the cross. Who will we serve…

We all have a part to play in the local church and how we fill our role as part of the body. 1 Corinthians 3:5-11 reminds us of the need to be laborers with God, to rely upon Him, and to do our part.
Without a mother, none of us would be here. But a Mother’s ministry doesn’t end at birth, but carries on for a lifetime. As we consider Moses’ mother in Exodus 2:2-10 and the impact she had in the life of so many, let’s take time to thank the mother’s in our lives and to encourage…
What do we spend our time thinking about? Are we more concerned with the things of Earth or the things of Heaven? Paul continues to challenge the Philippians 4:1-23 to press toward the mark – what about us today? Will we press toward the mark?
Paul exhorts us to stay the course, to press toward the mark. In Philippians 2:16-3:21 we look at our need to stay focused, to live the crucified life, to be encouraged, aware, and cautious as we live each day to know Christ more.
