Feeling stuck, fruitless, and empty in your faith is more common than you realize. But it is not God’s plan for you to stay in that dry place. Hope and encouragement to see yourself the way God sees you and to grow in your faith.
Read MoreOur post about the book of Enoch has generated many comments. Because many are so similar in the information shared, we wrote a blog post sharing our responses to the feedback and thoughts of our readers.
Read MoreWe can search high and low for something to fill the need within us. We can also turn a deaf ear to the Holy Spirit beckoning us to go in the direction He knows we need to follow. This post is a glimpse into my morning in which I chose to ignore the beckoning of the Holy Spirit.
Read MoreBiblical repentance is critical to the life of the believer, which is why we must gain a biblical understanding of what it is. Unfortunately, for years I didn’t have a clue what true biblical repentance was, and my spiritual life had become stagnant. It might be hard for us to understand but biblical repentance is a blessing!
Read MoreAs we happily journey along, sometimes God interrupts our plans with a change in direction we don’t see coming. This happened to Mary and Joseph before baby Jesus was born. Life lessons we can learn from their experience when we feel like our world has been turned upside down.
Read MoreThe Gospel of Matthew shares the life and ministry of Jesus. Matthew skillfully groups Jesus’ teachings into 5 sections while weaving miracles in between.

Read MoreNoah is a man that is often overlooked. We tend to focus on the animals, the boat, and the flood. So who was Noah? Is our image of him different than the way God saw him? What made Noah different than those around him? The lessons God has for us from the life of Noah will bless you greatly as you begin to walk out God’s amazing plan for your life!

Read MoreThe Book of Enoch is an ancient text of knowledge and understanding that was popular in Jesus’ day. Is there value in this book for today? Why was it removed from the Bible?

Read MoreGenesis chapter 5 is one of those chapters that are so easy to skip. But, I would urge you not to. As with every word in Scripture, the Holy Spirit has rich nuggets waiting for us. For example, the rapture is a hot topic right now. It just so happens one of the men in this chapter experienced rapture!
Read MoreWhat does God expect of us in regards to each other? Does He make us responsible for the actions of ourselves and others? Are we really supposed to be our brother’s (or sister’s) keeper? What does it even mean to keep your brother? Keep him from what?!?
Read MoreThere is so much more to this chapter than one brother killing another. We learn more about God’s character and the far-reaching devastation of sin. But also, we are reminded again that actions aren’t the only thing that matters to God; attitudes matter too!
