Trust in God means forsaking our natural instincts, no matter how things look, and trusting in God’s plan for our lives.

Looking Forward
There are two ways to live your life, looking forward or looking backward. To be forward looking is a God-given willingness to accept the future as it unfolds with hope and expectation.

Standing Together
Through baptism and the Holy Spirit we become the adopted children of a mighty and powerful God. This makes us brothers and sisters of the same heavenly Father ready, willing, and able to stand together against the common struggles of life and death. As we stand together in doing battle against the same enemy (the […]

Let it Flow
Just think of it, God fashioned you and I to be special receptacles for His supernatural power, the Holy Spirit. It is therefore vital that we measure ourselves, our thoughts, actions, and goals by God’s word; that we base our reality on everything (good, bad, and indifferent) that has brought us to where we are […]
