The Big Game

by PH

The whole city is buzzing with excitement! Everybody is gearing up for the big party this Sunday as we gather around the TV set to watch the big game! It is so easy to make conversations with total strangers. Just mention the Seahawks and you are in! But why such excitement? Well, we feel that […]

As 1 devotional-Thinking as one body

by LD

Good morning everyone, 1 Corinthians 12:25-that there may be no division in the body, but that the members may have the same care for one another. Essentially Paul is saying there are many needed parts, all valuable to the whole body. So nobody is dispensable in essence, but if not functioning in our gift and […]

When God Disappoints Us

by PH

Where do you go for comfort when your prayers are not answered? We know we are supposed to go to God when we feel rejected by the world or even our loved ones, but where do you go when you feel rejected by God Himself? When you make a request to God and God doesn’t […]

As 1 devotional-Limiting Jesus in desperation

by LD

Good morning everyone, Luke 8:49-While he was still speaking, someone from the ruler’s house came and said, “Your daughter is dead; do not trouble the Teacher any more.” Our perception of Jesus reveals how we handle situations, even how we pray about them. This person puts a limit on Jesus, recognizing Him as a Teacher […]

Silence of God…

by PH

Silence of God does NOT mean absence of God. Just because we do not hear from God does not mean that God is not there, nor does it mean that God is not active. The Book of Esther never mentions the word “God” in it. Nor does it mention God directing them to do certain […]

More to Life than This!

by PH

One undeniable factor that drives us to progress is the innate sense, “There must be more to life than this!” It’s Friday today and the reason why we look forward to the weekend is because our weekdays are mundane and we’ve been subconsciously asking, “There must be more to life than work and the weekend […]

As 1 devotional-What Jesus proves in storms

by LD

Good morning everyone Luke 8:23-and as they sailed he fell asleep. And a windstorm came down on the lake, and they were filling with water and were in danger. Even though Jesus is asleep, His presence is there in the midst of danger. Many of us may think danger is a sign of Jesus not […]

What Corrections Show

by PH

I noticed something curious in an exchange between my wife and my daughter recently. The way my wife was addressing my daughter, how she was correcting her and scolding her, she would never do with another adult. Especially as a pastor’s wife, she is very careful about how she words and watches even the tone […]

As 1 devotional-Offended by our own ideals

by LD

Good morning, Exodus 5:23-For since I came to Pharaoh to speak in your name, he has done evil to this people, and you have not delivered your people at all.” Moses came to realize that being obedient to God stirs up such opposition from the enemy, that it almost convinced him that serving such a […]

Rebuilding the Walls

by PH

Have you been let down by something (someone) you counted on to make your life worth living? Perhaps it’s your spouse that you are finding out to be disappointing (newly weds). Maybe it’s your children you have poured your life into who are going very wrong. Perhaps a career you have identified yourself with all […]
