John had the mother of Jesus committed to his care, while Jesus was on the cross. Where do we stand with Christ today?

The need to address the vital role of the Holy Spirit is as relevant today as it has been throughout church history. The Holy Spirit is how we experience the presence of God in our daily lives as Christ followers. Through the power of the Holy Spirit Jesus is transforming hearts and lives around the world. The Holy Spirit is described in the Bible as a power at work in the lives of people, dealing with them and revealing more fully God and His will for mankind.

Your pain just might drive your testimony!

In Corinth Paul met a couple named Priscilla and Aquila. The three of them built tents together to earn a living. After about a year and a half Paul, Priscilla and Aquila traveled to the city of Ephesus together. Priscilla and Aquila stayed on in Ephesus to make tents and tell people about Jesus while Paul returned to Antioch. A great teacher came to Ephesus, Priscilla and Aquila invited him to their house and explained to him the way of God more accurately. Apollos was grateful and went on to Corinth where he continued to share the good news of Jesus.

The vision of the valley of dry bones has been variously interpreted. Some see it as (1) teaching the postexilic return of the exiles (2) as an analogy for spiritual regeneration and the birth of the church (3) and dispensational interpreters see here the resurrection and the restoration of end times national Israel. Contextually, it is designed to be a message of hope to the exiled Jews. "SFL Bible" Ezekiel is given two symbols to illustrate the restoration of Israel. These symbols refer to the whole house of Israel (v. 11). But surely there is a present-day application (1 Corinthians 10:11).

The resurrection is more than just an event that happened once in history. It's the source of the power you can experience in your own life, every day. The same resurrection power that brought Jesus from death to life is available to you, and if you tap into it, you'll see an amazing transformation in your own life, too.

Your most important enterprise as a Christian is to find and to follow the will of God. Romans 2:2 says that we are "to prove what is that good and acceptable will of God." It is one thing not to know the will of God and refuse it. The classic example in all of the Bible of a believer who knows the will of God, and yet doesn't want to do it, is found within the pages of the prophecy of Jonah.

Pastor preaches the missionary heart of God through book of Jonah, after Collin and Madison invite the church to participate in a virtual mission trip to Mali.

In this fast paced and stressed out world that we live in today people are looking for rest and relaxation in all the wrong places. There are new products and gimmicks constantly coming out and some seek spiritual rest in some new age movement. However, you will never know true rest until you find it in the one that created and to have rest in him.
