The Heart of Leaders
We need good leaders! We need stronger leaders! We need Godly leaders. We need honest leaders. Regardless, God knows the leaders…

He’s Good!
Adjectives. Words used to describe something. How would you describe the Lord? Are there enough words to do Him Justice? He’s …..? You fill in the blank!
Feb 24, 202302:50
Tough Times, Good Time…
Familiar scriptures… the thorn in the flesh. We’ve all been there in the rough times and we’ve all experienced the joyful times. No matter the times, the Lord is still good!
Feb 23, 202302:54
He Can’t Defeat You
Be careful to place the blame where the blame is due. We ourselves are to blame for most of our own bad choices. But yes, Satan, he’s behind a lot as well but he can’t defeat you! He doesn’t win!
Feb 22, 202302:58
His Most Powerful Act of All
He created it all. Set it all in motion. Keeps it all in order. Makes sure we have all we need yet that’s not the most marvelous act….

Take the Time
Busy, Busy, busy… I hear that a lot. You probably say it a lot. But only you can control that aspect of your life. Take the time for what’s right!
Feb 21, 202302:47
Seeing Things Through His Eyes
If we’re not careful, we will begin to view our circumstances through the lens of a worldview camera. Be sure you focus on things through the eyes of Jesus and the Bible!
Feb 19, 202302:55
Questions and Answers
The “web”. There’s seems to be an infinite amount of information right at our fingertips. But how much of it is reliable? And is there one answer to each question? One source has one answer your questions. Only one!
Feb 18, 202303:01
Would You Like to Be Closer?
Books of the Bible are designed to teach us how to be better Christians. How to be better Bible students. And yes, how to be closer to Christ… as we all should desire to be.
Feb 17, 202302:54
We Need the Children
We have generational differences today but one thing is for certain. We need all generations in church hearing the gospel. Set aside differences and bring people to Christ!
Feb 16, 202303:32
I Am My Beloved’s
Two people meet. They fall in love. Marriage. Kids. A life together. The typical love story. But one is greater and that’s the love of Christ for you!
Feb 15, 202302:37
It’s Not Us But Him
Pride! It can sure cause trouble in our lives. We enjoy the credit and the attention. In reality, we deserve very little credit in this life. Our Lord deserves it all!
Feb 14, 202302:55
Heavenly Adoption Services
I’m thankful for my family and my name. Carrying my last name with me is a honor and a blessing. But I’m also thankful for my adoptive family through Christ!
Feb 13, 202302:60
Who Will Lead?
People are promoted and people step down from leadership positions. Sometimes, as Moses, they “die” or are taken away from their positions. Someone has to step up! Be a leader!
Feb 12, 202303:08
Blessings No Matter What!
The Bible says that, fearing or, respecting, the Lord is the beginning of knowledge. When you know the Lord, blessings become part of who you are. He loves to bless His children.
Feb 11, 202302:52
I Remember Their Hands
The hands of my grandparents were very distinctive. I remember them today. Working hands. Caring hands. Helping hands. How about your hands? What are they up to lately!
Feb 10, 202302:59
Making Time
Twenty-four hours in one calendar day. Some spent sleeping, some eating, driving, working… how about time for the “right” stuff? Priorities!
Feb 09, 202302:50
We Need to Tell Others
We love to tell others of our family history and family tree. We share our heritage proudly. John had one thing to share… Christ. Let’s follow his lead!
Feb 08, 202302:50
Battlefield Like No Other
Soldiers train to prepare for battle. This is to be ready for the real thing! What about the Christian? Prayer is like a battle - a battle against evil. Are you ready?
Feb 07, 202303:11
An Unexpected Response
Have you ever felt like you were targeted for no reason at all? Ever wondered why you were the one someone came after with hatred? Sure… but what was your response… ?
Feb 06, 202303:07
But God…
We all face difficult times and push through challenging situations. Sometimes there are moments we’re not even sure we will make… but God…
Feb 05, 202302:52
Deal With It
Prayer time should be a central time. We should bring all petitions before the Lord. Including sin! Let’s deal with it because Jesus did!
Feb 04, 202303:33
Which Way Will I Go
Choosing left or right at the fork of the road. Turning left or right at the intersection. Which way do I go? The way we choose is eternally important!
Feb 03, 202302:59
What If It Were You?
Innocent until proven guilty? We would like to think so! All of us would like to get a fair shake. In the end, justice will be served! Be on the winning side!
Feb 02, 202303:23
My God Can!
Impossible. No way! It will never happen. When speaking of us, there are times we just can’t make it happen. But God!
Feb 01, 202303:09
Who Do You Trust?
Trust. Confidence. Assurance. Reliability. Words we desire to apply to people in our lives when we are in need. One for such can have all these applied to His character!
Jan 31, 202302:59
Come Back Again!
The church! A family! Family should desire to be together so, the church should strive for togetherness! Let’s make sure we stick together in hard times and be the church all the time!
Jan 30, 202303:11
Who Are You? Biblically….
There are so many people in the Bible we can relate to! Who do you feel a close attraction to (other than Jesus)….
Jan 29, 202303:08
Good Words and Fair Speeches Beware
Some people are just good talkers! Smooth talkers! The gift of gab! They can talk you into anything… if such, beware!
Jan 28, 202302:37
What Do Our Youth Truly See?
Perfect? Not even close! A perfect Savior? Yes! Our youth deserve the truth. They deserve to be taught God’s Word and we owe it to them!
Jan 27, 202303:13
Lord, Please Show Me!
Waiting on answers can be so hard. Seeing the Lord move in your life? Priceless! He will reveal to you in time exactly what’s needed!
Jan 26, 202303:01
Right Help at the Right Time
We spent a lot of time researching today trying to find the best help for our current situation. Man will look in all different places for what he needs. The right help, is ever present!
Jan 25, 202303:21
We’re Not In Control!
Relinquishing control is very difficult for some people. When it comes to your walk with the Lord, relinquishing all to him is essential.

God’s Comforting Words
Comfort. Peace. Rest. Tranquility. Assurance. Truth. Promises. All these feelings and words find their home in the Word of God. How, well, comforting…
Jan 23, 202302:60
Without Him…
Many are so quick to take credit for all the good in the world. In reality, there’s only One that can take any credit!
Jan 22, 202302:55
Let’s Hear it Again
Somethings, you grow tired of hearing. Others, you need to hear again! When it comes to God’s word, it needs to be repeated, repeated repeated.
Jan 21, 202303:05
Ever Been Embarrassed?
We all will have moments that we will regret when we stand before Jesus. It will be more than embarrassment. It will be shame. Let’s work to minimize our not so good moments before the King!
Jan 20, 202302:53
Waiting for an Answer
Do you have trouble waiting? Are your patience, well, absent?! Some can wait and wait without any trouble. Others - can’t stand it… how about you?
Jan 19, 202302:47
Something In Common
If I give you a name, it is highly likely you will think of something that needs prayer in their lives. We all have that it common. As such, we should be a praying people. Always!
Jan 18, 202303:03
Run and Hide
We all speak of “getting away from it all”. It’s something that we long to do even if just for a little while. We can do that spiritually, and find a little rest with the Lord.
Jan 17, 202303:02
We Need the Lord
We all have dreams that we would like to see become reality. We have plans we would like to see become reality. One thing has to occur, and that is, the Lord must be involved.
Jan 16, 202303:31
The Test Will Begin Soon
Following after Christ is the best decision someone will ever make. But it doesn’t pave the road to an easy life. In fact. The tests, the trials and the temptations will come, even harder.
Jan 15, 202303:53
It’s Your Turn
When the warning is given, it’s our responsibility to heed the warning and to act. If we don’t, it’s really our own fault. So, as the Word of God is given, so is the warning: take heed.

Make Me!
Watching a potter work is amazing! A blob of clay becomes a beautiful work! It takes time! But in the end, it’s a useful vessel. Gives thanks to the Master Potter for what He’a done for you!
Jan 13, 202303:17
Heart Trouble
We like to think that we have a lot of love inside of us and we probably do. We like to think that we are good people, and we probably are. Yet, our hearts are imperfect and need help!
Jan 12, 202303:34
I Don’t Want This Any More!
Pain. We all will at some point experience pain to some degree. Physical, emotional, spiritual… regardless, the Lord can and will use your pain if you will let Him!
Jan 11, 202303:25
What Do I Say?
Words are just hard to find sometimes. What do I say? What do I do? Words and efforts escape us. Be thankful we have a back up!
