Hope
Our ultimate hope is eternal life. When we face pain or troubles in this life, knowing that ultimately one day our lives will be without sin and suffering.we can get through the muck and mire we face. "So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal." -2 Corinthians 4:18. -Pastor Mike
Listen
Listen to Jesus more, and listen to your doubts less. God is leading you down a path that he has specifically designed for you. Since you have free will, choose the fork in the road after much prayer and listening. While it may seem like a lonely road, know that the Holy Spirit is always with you. "...You must follow me." -John 21:22b. -Pastor Mike
Peace
Christians should live in peace. That does not mean that we will never have differences in opinions. It means that we will work together in love to meet each other's needs. "Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful." - Colossians 3:15. - Pastor Mike
Timing
When I decide to do something,...look out... there is usually no stopping me. This can lead to dispair, rebellion, or moving ahead without God's advice. The secret to peace with God is to discover, accept, and appreciate his perfect timing. "There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven." - Ecclesiastes 3:1 -Pastor Mike
Thankfulness
Allow thankfulness to temper every one of your thoughts. A thankful attitude keeps you in touch with God, accepting his sovereignty. "Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe, for our "God is a consuming fire". -Hebrews 12:28-29. -Pastor Mike
Leftovers
God gives in abundance when we offer up our time, talents, or treasure. "When they had all had enough to eat, he said to his disciples, "Gather the pieces that are left over. Let nothing be wasted. So they gathered them and filled twelve baskets with the pieces of the five bareley loaves left over by those who had eaten." - John 6:12-13. Let God use you! -Pastor Mike
Follow
Do you sometimes listen more to your own doubts than you do to God's voice? Do you ever compare your life to others in order to weigh who is more devoted to Christ? Jesus replied to Peter, when Peter asked him a question about John, "What is that to you? You must follow me." -John 21:22b God has a plan for us all. Listen and follow! -Pastor Mike
Gifts
In Psalm 21, David describes all that he has as gifts from God. "Rich blessings, a crown of pure gold, long life, splendor, and many others" were all blessings that David used to give glory back to God. How about you? Do you take credit and proudfully proclaim all that you have and do? Or do you say, "praise God", and give him the honor? -Pastor Mike
Not Guilty
The whole human race is on death row, justly condemed for repeatedly breaking God's law. By turning from sin and accepting Jesus as Lord and Savior, he has declared us not guilty, free from sin, and gives us the ability to do his will. "Therefore, there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus." -Romans 8:1. Praise God, we are free! -Pastor Mike
Challenges
Every day we face new challenges. We can accept them and solve them through the guidance of the Holy Spirit, or we can ignore them and let them pile up until they smother us. God will direct us if we ask him, just as he helped Joshua lead 2,000,000 people into Canaan. "...I will never leave you or forsake you" -Joshua 1:5b. -Pastor Mike
