God's grace is a personal thing, but it's also meant to be experience by others. What is keeping you from stepping toward the rest of the Body of Christ?

What happens when a madman decides to come after you? Are you in tune to God enough to hear his warning? It's time for us to rise up and take a stand against the kingdoms that rise up against us! This little town where we live is worth fighting for as we fight against the kingdoms that want to take it captive.

Christmas Eve and it's time for the most significant thing to hit the string of events in Bethlehem. In the words of Pastor John..."not to give the end away, but Jesus arrives".

Patience is a virtue, right? It seems around this time of year, we become a society of non-virtuous people. Bethlehem tells us an account of one who is rich in the virtue of Patience. That all begins in a field of sheep in the small town of Bethlehem. A young shepherd boy named David.

The little town of Bethlehem has so much to teach us! This week, the story of Ruth and Naomi has a direct link to the King of Kings. How? This seemingly innocent story of redemption creates a direct link Jesus and Bethlehem.

Bethlehem...the little town placed outside of Jerusalem. Of course we know what it's famous for, but this little town should has something for us today! Christmas is more than being about the birth of Jesus. It's about our lives changing because of that birth!

In the chaos of our world and the struggles of our elected leaders, is it possible we've missed the point of where we call home? It's amazing how much of a difference this makes in our lives.

What would make you see more value in yourself? If you chose God or He chose you? It's an interesting idea to wrestle with during this season of Thanksgiving.

Meekness and Self Control...one completely misunderstood and the other entirely difficult to attain. So how are we going to pull this off? Does the idea of being meek make you a softy who can't stand up to the strong people in life? We may have it all wrong...or at least partially wrong.

Faithfulness is what God asks from us. Whoa! We can't even be faithful to feed our pets sometimes! Yet, God has been so faithful to us in so many ways and He asks that of us. Let's face it...we can't do it on our own. But through surrender to His and the fruit of the Spirit in love, He gives us the power to grow more faithful each day.
