Faith

  • Perversion of Truth

    When new Christians come to faith, they are taught the ways of God by other believers who are hopefully being conduits of the Holy Spirit and not adding in the fallibility of our humanity. Mature believers help to raise up new brothers and sisters so that they may walk with Jesus in the Holy Spirit

  • Deceived No More

    Walking with Jesus is more than just salvation through belief. It is a lifelong journey of growth, development, and maturity that results in deeper relationship with God, and a larger portion of your heart belonging to Him.

  • The One That Turns Back

           Today I attended a sermon where the pastor referenced Luke 17:11-19 and looked at the gratitude of the 1 of 10 lepers who turned back and fell at the feet of Jesus, praising God.

(Psalm 78:18,21-22) In spite of all this, they kept on sinning; in spite of his

  • Shallow End Swimmers

                    The relationship God desires with His children calls us into the deep and of the metaphorical swimming pool. You can never feel the power of God fully manifesting in your life until you can’t touch the bottom anymore. Your Father is calling you into the deep water where He is your Sustainer and your

  • Touched to Serve

    When Jesus came into Peter’s house, he saw Peter’s mother-in-law lying in bed with a fever.  He touched her hand and the fever left her, and she got up and began to wait on him. (Matthew 8:14-15)                 In the passage that inspired this message we see Jesus heal Peter’s mother-in-law from her illness. Taken in
