Now more than ever, or so it seems, we need to remain connected together as Children of God and Followers of the Faith in Jesus Christ. I chose the verse Matthew 5:3 for the month. “Bless are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” It’s a verse to be remembered and considered throughout the year. Jesus...

We’ve been hearing a lot lately about the Holy Spirit and how Jesus promised to always be with and He will give us what we need to navigate through our time in this world.  John 16:13, sums it up pretty well. “But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come.”  Recently my Bible Study for the day shared these...

It’s a beautiful time unless of course you’re fighting the spring allergies.  This month I want to share a devotion I recently experienced. It begins with saying, “Jesus never considered anyone as too sinful to be forgiven. He welcomes even those who were despised by the rest of society.” The lesson is based on Luke 7:36-50.  We all fail to live as God...

The days are getting noticeably longer everyday.  This month's reading is from Jeremiah. Jeremiah 1:6-7 shares, “Ah, LORD God,” I said, “I don’t know how to speak because I’m only a child.” The LORD responded, “Don’t say, ‘I’m only a child.’ Where I send you, you must go; what I tell you, you must say.”  I’m sure you’re wondering why...

I don’t know about you but I’m choosing to begin this new year with a heart filled with Hope.  My hope is coming from the celebration and conclusion to the advent of waiting for our Lord to arrive.

This Advent season we will explore the sermon series, “The Word made Flesh.” This month I want to draw our attention to the words of John 1:14-15, “The Word became flesh and made his home among us.

However, I feel we are all staring into the face of the unknown.   It just seems to be, there are so many that are hurting around us and knowing how to help alleviate suffering for those in need is not a clear cut path. As followers of the cross, we do know it has to begin with prayer and putting one foot in front of the other.  This month...
