  • The Storyteller - Thomas Ranville (Métis) Part 2
    It was a News Years Eve Thomas would never forget. It happened at the gang's clubhouse. He tried to get drunk but he couldn't. He tried to get high but he couldn't. He became a spectator though to those who had, and what he saw deeply disturbed him. He was ashamed about what happened there that night. It was the beginning of the end.

  • Be Still and Know Daily Bible Devotion - November 24th - Romans 15:30
    Romans 15:30
    Dear brothers and sisters, I urge you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to join in my struggle by praying to God for me. Do this because of your love for me, given to you by the Holy Spirit.
    It is an incredible privilege to belong to the Christian family. As soon as you become a Christian, you have brothers and sisters who are part of your new worldwide and eternal family. I treasure that moment recorded in Acts 9:17 when Ananias went to meet Saul after his encounter with Christ on the road to Damascus. Ananias knew of Saul’s violent reputation and he was clearly surprised at the news that he had met the Lord, but we read that Ananias went into the house where Saul was staying, placed his hands on him and said: “Brother Saul.” What a miracle!
    In today’s verse, Paul speaks of how his brothers and sisters could join him in his struggle. There is no doubt of their love and respect for Paul, and I am sure that they were eager to do whatever they could to support him. Paul told them that the way to do so was through prayer motivated by the love for him that the Holy Spirit had given them. When we see someone struggling, we want to do something practical to help them, but often the greatest support that we can give is in prayer.
    There are many Christians struggling today. Millions of believers live in countries where the government is opposed to Christianity, and life is a continual challenge for them. I am sure that there are also Christians in your own community who are struggling. Perhaps their struggle is with health issues, or the care of relatives, or relationship difficulties, or challenges at work, or problems in their church. We won’t need to look far to find people who are struggling, and I pray that because of the love that the Holy Spirit has put in our hearts, we will commit ourselves to praying for them.
    Question
    Who do you know who is struggling at the moment? Take some time to pray for them right now.
    Prayer
    Lord God, I pray for those I know who are struggling at this time. Please show me how I can bring them your love and encouragement. Amen

  • The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley - The Ten Commandments, Melchizedek, and More!

    Should believers still look to the moral law for daily living? Should I explore the paranormal? Was Jesus truly separated from the Father on the cross? How did humanity spread across the globe? How do I cope with the theological differences I have with my husband? Can you talk about Melchizedek and how he plays into law and grace? Did fallen angels have relations with women in Genesis 3? What does the finished work of Christ mean for our forgiveness?

  • The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley - Grateful: A Heart Made Great and Full by Grace - Part 2
    Discussion Questions:
    1. Read Hebrews 10:1-3. What do you think about letting go of feeling guilty for your sins? Can you have remorse and regret without falling into guilt? Explain.
    2. Read Colossians 2:13-14. Why is this one of the most powerful encapsulations of the gospel in all of Scripture?
    3. Read Ephesians 4:32. Is this different from Matthew 6:14-15? How is it different? Why is it different?
    4. Read Hebrews 9:25-28. React to this statement: Jesus is not in heaven dying over and over, so you're not on Earth being forgiven over and over.
    5. Read Ephesians 4:28. If we don't have to ask for forgiveness each time we sin, then what can we do?
    6. Read 2 Peter 1:9 and Luke 7:47. React to this statement: Total forgiveness is dangerous—but only to the enemy!

  • God on the Go by AllMomDoes - Even If It Looks Hopeless (EVEN IF)
    There have been times in my life when doing the right thing felt like walking straight into a furnace—uncertain, uncomfortable, and honestly, a little scary. But just like Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, I’ve learned that faith isn’t about knowing the outcome—it’s about trusting God even if the fire still burns.

  • Be Still and Know Daily Bible Devotion - November 23rd - Romans 15:23-24
    Romans 15:23-24
    But now I have finished my work in these regions, and after all these long years of waiting, I am eager to visit you. I am planning to go to Spain, and when I do, I will stop off in Rome. And after I have enjoyed your fellowship for a little while, you can provide for my journey.
    Paul’s love for the church in Rome is very clear, and he couldn’t wait to visit them. I love how he sets out his strategy so clearly. He was always looking to develop the mission of the Church, so, having paid them a visit, he then aimed to go to Spain to preach the gospel. In order to enable that mission to succeed, he would be looking to the Roman church to support him. These few verses give us an insight into Paul’s heart and his plans, but, as we all know, it didn’t work out in the way that he had hoped. His first task was to go to Jerusalem to take the money he had collected for the relief of the famine victims. He knew that it would be a potentially dangerous journey. His presence in Jerusalem was never going to be widely welcomed. He was arrested, and for the next few years, he was a prisoner. When he did finally arrive in Rome, it was under armed guard.
    We can learn so much from Paul. We should be inspired by his passionate mission heart and his careful planning, but we should also remember that things don’t always work out in the way that we plan. We need to be humble before God and recognise that even if things don’t work out in the way that we hope and plan, God is still God and his plans will triumph in the end. When things go in the opposite way from our plans, it can be deeply discouraging. We can feel that we have failed. In such times, we need to keep our eyes firmly fixed on the Lord, knowing that we are ultimately secure in his hands.
    Question
    How would you respond if your life plans suddenly changed?
    Prayer
    Loving Father, thank you that our lives are in your hands. Help us to have complete confidence in you, whether or not life works out in the way that we had expected. Amen
