    May 31, 2020-God Speaking & Us Listening

    As Saul (later Paul) was directed by the influences of his upbringing and education to be a Pharisee, so we are influenced to become what we are. Saul's conversion began as  Jesus asked "Why are you doing this?", but it would have come to naught had he not listened. Will you listen to Jesus when He asks "Why do you do this?"

    May 24, 2020-Leaving the Pitcher Behind

    Like the Samaritan woman at the well, we all have shame that we try to mask in various ways. Jesus uncovers these effortlessly, but then offers us His eternal spring of quenching water. The woman was so unraveled that she left her pitcher at the well in her haste to share the encounter. Can you share the quenching water of Christ that way?

    May 17, 2020-Abundance and Scarcity

    Very often, when events generate fear in us, we become wary and fail to trust in God's abundance. If you find yourself in need, remember that God will provide for His people. Don't let your fear unravel you!

    May 10, 2020-Flipping The Script

    Zacchaeus, a tax collector in Jericho, was not considered worthy of respect in his community because of his occupation. Jesus, however, felt him worthy enough to dine at his home. Zacchaeus immediately repented of his sins. As always, Jesus does the unexpected. By reflection,  Jesus lit the sins of Zacchaeus and the hypocrisy of his neighbors. You, too, can be found worthy!

    May 3, 2020-Grief Into Action

    Though we may differ from our fellow beings, we may sometimes grieve together through a shared hardship or pain. If we can feel empathy for another, our  situations may change our feelings in a different direction. This can often result in a  positive change in our behavior.

    April 26, 2020-Boat Sitters

    When Jesus walked on the stormy Sea of Galilee to meet His disciples,  only Peter had the courage to try to meet Him partway. The rest of the disciples sat in the boat. Will you have the courage and faith to try to meet Him,  or will you sit in the boat & wish for peace?

    April 19, 2020-Unexpected Joy

    In the uncertainty of life, you will find times of pain and disquiet. You may be surprised to find that, when you feel totally unraveled, God provides times of joy in the midst of chaos.

    April 12, 2020-Take Off Those Grave Clothes!

    When Jesus called for Lazarus to rise from death, he had to get rid of the  grave clothes he was wrapped in. For us to be resurrected to new life in our spirit, we must rid ourselves of our "grave clothes". What are the things  you are wrapped in which keep your spirit dead?
