Declare The Glory of God If you have a story of addiction or some other living nightmare that God pulled you from the wreckage then you know a little something others don’t. If you have brokenness, sorrow or have turned your back on God for a period and Jesus pulled you back; you know a little something others don’t. If you have never met Jesus you may need to drop a little further, spin a little faster or, hopefully, you decide before any of that happens that you need another…

Was Jesus Crazy?
Was Jesus Crazy? Our Pastor, Mike Harder, discussed Mark 3:20-35 on Sunday. These few passages are some of the most important, thus far, that have truly hit me in a way I would have never expected. The fact Jesus’ family and friends were questioning his sanity. As you can imagine if someone is telling others around that “I am the One, the Son of God.” it would be difficult for most people to accept their sibling, their child expressing such a thing. It never occurred to me that Jesus’ family…
READ MOREBy the Mercies of God…
By the Mercies of God… Everyday is another step, be it tiny, almost inconceivable or note worthy and recognized in others. Our Father is worthy of all praise. Our Father showers us in His mercy and holds us steadfast in His grace. Thank you, Father, for loving us first. Romans 12 NKJV 1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. 2 And do not be conformed to this world, but…
READ MOREPreparing the Way
Preparing the Way It begins with the belief that I have no power and need Jesus Christs’ power to fuel my life. Without the guidance of the Holy Spirit I will continue living a “dead” life – worse than the walking dead. We must admit this, we must come to grips with the fact that it is only through Jesus Christ that our lives will any meaning or value. Total surrender, suited in the Armor of God we can be baptized in the Trinity that John the Baptist cleared the…
READ MOREThe Hardest Lesson
The Hardest Lesson This is by far the hardest lesson for me to grasp. If you drive in congested urban areas their is a possibility you experience the same frustrations as I. It is amazing how quickly I can lose the sense of the Spirit and toss Jesus out the drivers seat! Matthew 5 NKJV 43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ 44 But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those…
READ MOREFulfilling the Law
Fulfilling the Law Matthew 5 NKJV 17 “Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. 18 For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled. 19 Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and teaches them, he…
READ MORERenewal of The Mind
Renewal of The Mind My mind is a bad neighborhood that is not be trusted. Without taking God along the darkness engulfs all the light. It is only His Light that breaches the darkness and returns me to stable ground. This is an ongoing minute by minute, hour by hour and day by day battle. Just today my mind had me wondering back-allies filled with monsters coming at me from every angel imaginable. It was only when I stepped back into the Light of Jesus Christ that sanity returned and…
READ MORESalt and Light
Salt and Light Mark 5 NKJV 13 “You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men. 14 You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. 16 Let your…
READ MOREWho Needs The Gospel?
Who Needs The Gospel? Endless alleluia, singing out for Jesus Christ, joining in heavens song! I awaken each day and make my way towards our Lord. Some days it takes the whole of the day long to take the first step and other days it is as if I can not drink in His love quick enough. At the end my life is nothing but a blink of the eye and even more meaningless – the closer I get to Jesus Christ our Lord the more meaning His life has…
READ MOREWhy Did You Make Me Like This?
Why Did You Make Me Like This? Who am I to question God? Who am I to stand before God and proclaim Him a fool? Why would anyone believe that God made a mistake especially with something as important as their gender and all that goes with a person’s gender? Romans 9 CSB 19 You will say to me, therefore, “Why then does he still find fault? For who can resist his will?” 20 But who are you, a mere man, to talk back to God? Will what is formed…
