In a tumultuous world, faith is the way to get and keep spiritual feet under you, while keeping your eyes on the Pioneer and Perfector of our faith.

Effective Prayer - 1 Kings 18

The importance of inquiring of the Lord just as Elijah did. You can have a closer relationship with God by the manner in which you pray and see amazing ways in which God will answer.

New Year Message - Lamentations 3:21-23

We can be assured every day in this New Year that God will be, as He always has been, faithful and full of compassion towards His people. Just as He was merciful to His people in Jeremiah's day, He is merciful to us. Every morning when you wake up in 2026, remember that His mercy is new and available for you, great is His faithfulness!

The Staircase Speech - Acts 21:37-22:1-21

Bruised and bloodied by an angry mob, the Apostle Paul is given permission to speak to this angry crowd. Paul no doubt weakened by the brutal beating he received, bravely shares his story going back to his conversion, where his eyes were opened and he met the Messiah, and his life changed forever. From that moment on, Paul could not remain silent about who Jesus is and that He came to save all people from their sin. We have a mandate to share our God story and like Paul, we should not remain silent but courageously and joyously share with others what Jesus came to do, redeem all of humankind.

Paul's Arrival In Jerusalem - Acts 21:17-36

So many lessons we can learn from Paul in the worst of situations. Trust God completely, be confident in His call, exercise spiritual discernment, be courageous and be willing to submit to sacrificial obedience in the face of adversity.

The Journey To Jerusalem - Acts 21:1-16

Paul continues to be an example to us to obey what Jesus said in Mark 8:35, "Whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever wants to lose their life for Me and the gospel will save it." If anyone lived like this, it was Paul. We need to determine to not... "play it safe" but be willing to align our hearts with His purposes, knowing that His kingdom will  be advanced if we do. After all isn't that what our lives are to be about?

Farewell To The Ephesians - Acts 20:25-38 /Part 2

With much emotion Paul gives his final farewell address to the Ephesian elders emphasizing to them that, "it is more blessed to give than to receive."  Its a scene that portrays the wonderful commitment and fellowship that has been shared amongst these believers. They serve as an example to us today, that strong relationships are built on sharing, caring, and praying for one another.

Farewell To The Ephesians - Acts 20:13-24 / Part 1

Throughout Paul's missionary journeys he faithfully preached, served and endured many hardships to take the Gospel wherever God sent him. He was determined to finish his race no matter the cost. Paul did not count his life dear to himself. He lived denying himself, taking up his cross daily because of his gratitude for the grace given to him. How then should we live? The same way Paul did.

Last Visit To Greece - Acts 20:1-12

Wherever Paul journeyed he made it a point to encourage and strengthen fellow believers. He never tired of teaching the Word, and seized every opportunity to share it. Paul was filled with compassion and made himself available to meet the needs of others. He may have been considered a celebrity in the eyes of many but he never forgot he was a servant of the Lord Jesus Christ.
