You Can Sit With Us

  Can I pray for you, he asked? I didn’t really know this man even though I had sat next to him in a class I was taking. I felt uncomfortable but who was I to deny prayer? I looked up at him and there was a genuine sincerity in his eyes. I have started…

I just don’t want to be the guy that shows up in heaven and goes, Really? You are this beautiful, this wonderful, this extravagant, this extraordinary, and I spent the days of my life on earth consumed with bills, success, and social status trying to please men? Judah Smith Yesterday, our men’s group was talking…

I have been reading the Grace handbook and want to share some of it with you today. I think it will speak to you in ways you can’t even imagine…. An English minister who had an inner city outreach in England said, I minister to the lost, the least, the lonely and the last. Perhaps…

I undertook great projects. I built houses for myself and planted vineyards. I made gardens and parks. I made reservoirs to water my flourishing trees. I bought male and female slaves. I owned more herds and flocks than anyone in Jerusalem. I amassed silver and gold. I acquired men and women singers and a harem.…

Since we have been made right in God’s sight by faith, we have peace with God because of what Jesus has done for us. And because of our faith, Christ has brought us into this place of undeserved privilege where we now stand, and we confidently and joyfully look forward to sharing God’s glory. We…

No one goes through life without struggles. The question is what do we do when we fall? How do we find the strength and the spirit to get back up? I have listened and read many stories of people who have come into “success”. Success is defined as the accomplishment of aim of purpose. All…
