Hustle and Bustle- 6 Misconceptions of Christmas
Christmas…the most wonderful time of the year…right? Who doesn’t love Christmas? Who doesn’t enjoy the functions, celebrations, events, great food, company, and music?

Our Flesh- His Fullness
The collision of the fullness of a glorious God with our weak feeble flesh is mysterious. There are days when I can’t help but to wonder how God continues to love and be so patient with me. I tend to find myself demonstrating a grumbling, complaining attitude so often, yet God always draws me to…

Do we trust His presence?
The LORD is my chosen portion and my cup; you hold my lot. The lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; indeed, I have a beautiful inheritance. I bless the LORD who gives me counsel; in the night also my heart instructs me. I have set the LORD always before me; because he is…

Do we reflect what Christ came to demolish? In Acts 10, Christ breaks the boundaries of division between Jews and Gentiles. Peter,…

Swallowing the Truth-John 6
John chapter 6 is full of the reality of the majesty and wonders of Jesus. It begins with Jesus performing many miracles and signs, such as feeding 5,000 men, not including the women and children, with only 5 loaves of bread and 2 fish. Because of the reaction of the people wanting to make him…
