The darts are temptations of satan. Our faith that God can…

The Gospel of Peace with God is what gives the follower of Jesus confidence. Confidence that If God is for me than who can be against me!

Nothing divides like Politics because nothing divides like fear. Both sides of our political construct peddle fear.

And because of that we have the unprecedented opportunity to model for our communit…

So often our digital distraction has robbed us of the ability to be present: present to God, to other people, to all that is good around us, to our souls. How do we process, pray, read, sit under teaching, rest well, when every chance we get we reach for our phones? We practice two things that are contrary to our current culture but vital to our de…

fAll of us want to see miracles of God in our lives. We long to know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that God is the one who came through for us. But, not very many of us are willing nor even know how to pray a miracle into existence. Sometimes it takes too long and we lose interest. Sometimes what we want or need to happen seems too big even for God.…
