Out of Sight But Top of Mind Spiritual growth consists most in the growth of the root, which is out of sight. – Matthew Henry Never forget that God does His greatest work in our lives out of plain sight. Recall that we are all fearfully and wonderfully made—created and formed in the womb under His watchful...
Lean Into God “Our extremities are the Lord’s opportunities” – Charles Spurgeon I don’t mind admitting that I sometimes tend to first do things out of my own strength and when it doesn’t work out, cry out to God for help. Much like a toddler who goes through that phase of wanting to do things...
Trials—Just STAND! “It is trial that proves one thing weak another strong” – Henry Ward Beecher We’ve all heard the sayings, “What the enemy meant for evil, God meant for good” and, “If it won’t break you, perhaps it’ll make you”—meaning you can win victory over circumstances that appear to be designed for your ruin....

The Lord is asking us, as His people, to overcome the flesh so that we can truly walk and live in His Spirit. There is much He can do through us if we...
Be not deceived, my beloved brethren. Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom can be no variation, neither shadow that is cast by turning. James 1:16-17, ASV Stay blessed and a blessing!
Don’t Despise Ziklag The Pastor’s sermon points from his “Permission to Pursue Victory” series are certainly worth repeating. Know that like David, we will all have our Ziklag seasons—where we’re going through rough terrain, troubled waters and being pressed down with no end seemingly in sight.
