I Mean Well But . . .

Often our hearts are in the right place and we come into things desiring the best, but sometimes things still don’t work out like we plan. How can we take our well meaning hearts and align them with what God wants to do? Chris Thompson shares about this in relation to what he sees in Peter’s life in Mark 8.

Smooth Seas Ahead

In life and scripture, seas are often turbulent, but Revelation offers a different pictures of the scary waters as we enter the throne room of God. Reference Revelation Chapters 4 & 22

Laying It Down For Unity

Unity is essential and we are called to lay down our power and even our freedoms to lift those around us. How can we lay down our power in order to love and serve?

Trusting the One In Charge

Scott reflects on car problems, life problems, and what can bring us reassurance.
Reference: Revelation 4

Lean On Me

Moses held a stick to bring Israel to victory, but only succeeded through the support of friends.

What are you carrying that you need friends to lean on? Victory is not a lonely journey if we don’t allow it to be, although it does not mean it will be easy.

Father

Our Creative Arts Director Dave Duinker shares a thought followed by a song of the Lord’s Prayer from Luke 11. Song begins at 2:52.

Are You Serious?

How aware are we of how we use our words? Alan reminds us of the importance and the power of our words. How does our speech praise God and bless others?

Are You Triggered?

When you feel triggered it is important to recognize it and take a step back. As we try to calm ourselves we must allow space for God to speak to and shape our hearts. Chris reflects on Psalm 46.

Uncertainty

In this time when we see conspiracy theories, fighting and division it is hard to feel certain about anything. Chris reflects on Psalm 33, where we see God as the creator of all things and that nothing can thwart his plans.

Praise Ye The Lord

This phrase is not only a call to engage in worshiping the Lord, but also a invitation for others to join in. This is the thought that inspired the song Dave shared previously called “Calling All Breathers” taken from Psalm 150.
