The Freedom From Discouragement
Suffering is real! Sometimes suffering comes in and brings with it, discouragement. But, all the suffering we are going through does not compare to the glory that awaits us. When we get bad news. . . .focus on the glory. When the job is terminated and the money isn’t there. . . .focus on the glory. No matter what we’re going through. . . .focus on the glory. We have something greater ahead. Our adoption will be complete! We will…
Christ Has Risen
The Resurrection is the crown jewel of everything that happened in Jesus’ life. Because of the Resurrection, we don’t fear death for we will be raised to be with Jesus in Glory. Because of the Resurrection, we were made righteous. We were on our way to hell, but Jesus made us new. The same Power that raised Jesus from the dead lives in us. . . . .the Resurrection Power! Thank God for the Resurrection! He is risen!
The Cross: Where Justice Meets Love
God takes sin seriously. He detests sin. The torture, the pain, the humiliation our Lord and Savior suffered. . .Why? There needed to be a sacrifice. There was nothing we could do to pay the price. That’s why God sent His Son. Justice demanded an answer. . .but Love gave it! Justice called for death. . .but we received Love. The gift of Love! Thank God for the cross!
The Humanity Of Christ
Jesus came in the flesh and humanity to identify with us. All the sufferings Jesus went through makes Him able to understand what we are going through. He came to earth to be like us, so eventually we could be like Him. Each day we long to be more like Christ. No matter what you’re going through, remember He is there for you in His humanity. Celebrate the humanity of Christ. He understands!
The Application Of Grace
Does it seen hard or even sometimes impossible to live a godly life? Yet, it is possible! How do we live out this life called “christianity”? With God’s grace. . . .God’s unmerited favor!
Growing In Grace
When we mess up, which we will, call on God. It’s because of His Grace that we can go to Him. Grace helps us to break free from the sin nature. What we need to do is grow in grace. What we need to do is live in grace. God’s grace covers us. Are you living in His grace?
Naaman’s Healing
In our lives, we have transitional points. Sometimes what God tells us to do may seem crazy, silly, or even foolish. But, we must be obedient in order to receive the blessings. Remember, God’s ways are not our ways. At times, we even need to be desperate for the Lord to receive our blessings. No matter how good we think we are or how much we think we do, we still need Jesus! Put your full trust in God! Hold…
Strength To Endure
Are you going through some hard times and it seems like there’s no hope? Don’t give up! Don’t be moved! Don’t lose heart! When we give up, we are allowing the enemy to have a stronghold in our lives. It’s too late in the game to quit. We’re getting close to the finish line. We have to live by faith! Walk by faith and not by sight! Earthly suffering produces growth. The value of our lives is based not on…
Persistence In Prayer
If John the Baptist and Jesus prayed, how much more should we pray? We all have needs and that’s why prayer is so important to us. When we have a need, either for ourselves or for someone else, we are desperate and should be persistent in prayer. We need to have the attitude of, “I will not stop praying until I receive an answer!” Ask! Seek! Knock! Prayer works!
Confidence In Prayer
We, as believers, have confidence in prayer. Confidence is knowing that we can bring our petitions boldly to the Throne of Grace and He hears us. We have this confidence because of who we are in Jesus; because of what He did on the cross. Prayer is like having heaven right here on earth. Not just to ask for things, but to bask in His Presence. Prayer is knowing we need something more than ourselves. We have access to God!…
