Jesus wants to give us a wonderful gift that we can share with others. Even when we're at what seems like our lowest point, He's by our side and we can turn a hardship into something to rejoice over. What gift does Jesus want to bring to you right now?

God loves us so much that He sent Jesus to deliver us. Have you let Jesus save you from your sins? Have you done the hard work you need to do today?

Finding favor with God does not mean the hardships will vanish. It simply means now the hardships have meaning, for they, even more than the blessings, become the means by which you bear witness that God is with us.

When Satan tells you that you are a sinner, and cannot hope to receive blessing from God, tell him that Christ came into the world to save sinners.

We are all temples or reference points to show the world the God who is love. The Spirit will use us as a way for God to reveal Himself to people as a God who wants to be with them.

A thank you for the implact that Pastor Bernie and his family have had on the Forest Lake Church as he transitions to his new role with the World Vision organization.

When the Spirit comes into our lives, we have much to celebrate and be thankful for. Even when it doesn't seem to make sense, when we trust in the Spirit our lives are enriched and we can impact others around us for God.

If we don't jump in and desire to experience the fullness of what God wants to do in our lives, we run the danger of just "faking it until we make it" which means we will never make it spiritually.

Is it possible that we have it too good? Is it possible that we, at times, have mistaken prosperity and comfort as God’s will for us? Are we willing to follow the Holy Spirit when we are clear that to do so will profit us, but a bit more reluctant to follow when the course the Spirit points out will definitely be difficult?

When we work together, we can be wings of hope in our community. Sometimes we can even be that hope for those outside of our community as well.
