Sometimes we are unaware of what God is doing until we get closer to God to see them. Satan wants you distracted and not connected with God. The Holy Spirit was left for a comforter for us. He will make you aware…but not if you neglect meeting with God.
The Joy of Giving
God cares about our hearts and where we put our hope. Money is a tool that can be used to honor God. Are you doing a good job managing what the Lord has given you? Everything we have is a gift from Him.
It's Time to Show Up for Your Life
You are no accident. You are where you are for a reason and a purpose. We have to fulfill what God has put us here to do. We can’t measure success the way the world measures success…if we do, we end up wasting our talents.
The Gift I Wanted and the Gift I Received
If you come for healing and not a relationship…you miss Jesus. Our relationship with Jesus needs to be about what He wants, not what we want Him to do.
What Kind of Looker Are You?
We have ideas about who God is…but God might not be that. We hold on to the teachings we want to be true. When we hear something we want to be true, we sometimes don’t go to the Word to see if it’s actually true or not out of fear that God may not be like that. It’s ti me to choose if Jesus is the Messiah or not. It’s time to come home.

God, Why Do You Seem So Distant?
If God seems far away, it’s because we’re the ones who have moved. Take 10 minutes today and humble yourself and meet with God. God wants to use you for his glory.
Sit in the Pain
God knows you better than you know yourself. We mask ourselves so that we can avoid pain…it’s when we sit in the pain that we know ourselves.
Purpose
You have a purpose…you’re not a mistake. God will not only forgive your sins, but he will use you for his glory. When you fall down, get up and choose to continue to follow Jesus.
Be Still
If you want to become who you were called to be…you have to make time everyday to be still and meet with the Lord. When we stay plugged into the tree, we produce kingdom fruit.
