We have different gifts, according to the grace given us. If a man’s gift is prophesying, let him use it in proportion to his faith. 7 If it is serving, let him serve; if it is teaching, let him teach; 8 if it is encouraging, let him encourage; if it is contributing to the needs […]
“Success is obedience to God, not results we can measure.” “When we obey God, we find great comfort in leaving the consequences up to Him.” I’ve been studying Beth Moore’s Paul: 90 Days on His Journey of Faith. I am so fascinated by the life of Paul. There is just so much of his ministry […]
G R A T E F U L I long for my life to be marked by this word. Today we kicked off our new series “Better Days” and Pete challenged us to evaluate how much cynicism effects our level of hope and faith. It’s so easy to get trapped by the negativity and fear-based […]
