As we look to grow and develop in our Christian walk, we must be rooted and built up in Jesus Christ. Paul makes this clear in Colossians 2:7 and throughout 2022 we make it our goal to be encouraged in Christ as we grow, remain steadfast, and look for opportunities to serve.
How often is Jesus passing by our lives unnoticed? In John 9:1-12 we read of the blind man who encountered Jesus but had to take a step of faith by going and washing in the pool of Siloam. Once he did, he received his sight. Friend, are you willing to take a step of faith…
As we celebrate what God has done in our lives through our local church, it’s important to remember our need to continue relying on God in the future as well. Ephesians 3:20-21 reminds us of the unlimited power of God and that all the glory belongs to Him!
How are we to live in Christ? Perhaps, as we consider Matthew 8:5-13, we find ourselves lacking faith to fully believe in all that Christ has for us? Yet that is what He’s waiting for us to do, trust Him, believe Him, follow Him, depend on Him!

Many times in the Bible we see those that trust in God later turn from God. One such example is King Asa that we read about in 2 Chronicles 14-16 as he greatly trusted in God early in his life but after 20 years of peace trusted in himself instead of God. Friend, as a…
A lack of faith can cause us to sink in the world around us. Yet if we will call out, Lord, Save Me, He will answer. Matthew 14:23-33 provides this great example of our need to keep our faith placed in our Savior as we go through life each day.
Faith. We all place it somewhere in something or someone. Jesus, in Mark 11:20-26, reminds us that our faith should be in God. Where’s your faith?
There is a reality of life with Christ. John, in 1 John 1:1-4 reminds us that real life is only truly possible when we walk with Christ in obedience, seeking to love God and others, and living in the truth. Friend, if you want your joy to be full in this life, it can only…
