The Wonderful You

Baby Steps

Our primary focus should be on loving God and others, but sometimes getting to where we want to be with God can be overwhelming. If you start looking for excuses, you will find a bottomless list of things that need to be done before you can feel "right with God." Listen to the message today for a word of hope!

When You Cannot Face the Wind

The Apostle Paul was a Roman prisoner scheduled to stand trial before Caesar. He was being transported to Rome by cargo ship and escorted by Roman soldiers. Soon after they left the shore, the vessel was caught in a northeaster, a terrible storm. The wind was so strong they could not face it or navigate away from it. If the trials in your life feel like more than you can handle, read today's message for a word of hope! Taken from my book: "Forty Days of Hope."

Enemy At The Gates

Strangers came into the Israelite camp and said they had traveled from a distant land to make a peace covenant with them. The travelers had intentionally dressed in ragged clothing. They carried old supplies like stale bread and cracked wineskins to deceive the Israelites. In reality, they were from a nearby village and had come to trick the Israelites into forming an alliance with them. Today's message discusses a vital part of the decisions in your life.

Empty Jars

A widow was drowning in debt and about to lose her two sons to a creditor. She had one small jar of oil and no idea what to do next. Elisha didn't take up a collection or call in a favor. He asked what she had, then told her to go get empty jars — as many as she could find. The oil kept pouring until the jars ran out. God gave her a blank check and let her faith determine how far it went. He has been doing that since Genesis. He rarely starts from nothing. He starts from what's already in your hand.

Cuts Like A Knife

Jesus took our sin away on the cross, and He suffered for it so that we would not have to, but other things that He went through while on Earth were an example for us. Betrayal is something that most of us will experience at some point, and it always hurts when those who were your friend become your enemy. Though even those closest to you may betray you, don't let it make you bitter. Listen to the message today for a word of hope!
