A Journey to Seeing Yourself Through the Eyes of Jesus
What Happens When We Pray? Part 1
What do you think happens when we pray? Why pray? Have you ever encountered a person who responded negatively when you offered to pray for them? Perhaps you’ve thought that all hope was lost, so the only thing left is to pray. Or maybe you have known someone who...
2023: The Year of Fruitful Effort
Has the Lord given you a message for 2023? Have you thought about what the Lord wants for you for the new year? He has plans for you, to prosper you and not to harm you, to give you hope and a future (Jeremiah 29:11). I feel like the Lord gave me a corporate message...
Can You Visit Heaven Now?
Psalm 139 is one of my favorite chapters in the book of Psalms. I love this chapter because it reminds me how much God the Father loves me. It talks about how God knitted each of us in our mother’s womb. Psalm 139 reminds us that we are “fearfully and wonderfully...

The Weekend of Extraordinary Change

Ancient Jewish Weddings and the Christian Life
If you have given your life to Jesus, you have become his bride. We, the church, are the bride of Christ. In the hours before Jesus was betrayed and eventually sentenced to death, we see him saying and doing things that were customary in that culture to a man...
Can a Christian Have a Demon Living Inside Them?
Can a Christian have a demon? Can a Christian have a demon, be possessed by a demon, or be oppressed by a demon or evil spiritual forces? The topic is quite controversial in church circles today, at least in the United States. In our line of work, we’ve run across...
