DECISION v. DISCERNMENT
Everyone of us comes to a place of needing to make a decision. Of needing to make a change in life, habits, job, friends, starting something new. This is part of life.

God Leads
Click here to read 1 Samuel 17. These are the stories that capture our imagination and restore hope.

We also have opportunities to learn more about who they are as a person, what theirContinue reading “Loving to Life Pt 3”
Connecting Points
Click here to read Acts 17. “All you need to do is to teach that person how to…” This sounds simple enough; but is it really that easy to get people to learn new things? Just teach them?

Being Known
Read Acts 9:32-43 here. What would you like to be known for? This is something I believe we all think about more than we care to admit.
