Be Strong and Courageous: God Is Always With You
We’ve spent last week primarily talking about letting go and trusting God with his plan for us. So, I thought I would send us into the weekend with Joshua 1:9“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go."”Joshua 1:9 When we go through hard times, it’s easy to feel that God has left us. But from what I’m reading, we can go with absolute knowledge that God is with us wherever we go. Just because times are hard doesn’t mean God is not at work. Our circumstances don’t define God. Therefore, we have no reason to be afraid, if the God who created Heaven and Earth is on our side, nothing can stop us. So let’s roll into the week with this simple thought, God is with me...always. I’m on vacation this week, so if my message happens to not be “exactly” on time…well, it means I’m getting some much needed rest. Treatments start back on the 18th. Be Nice. Grace wins. FMJ

Not As the World Gives
Can we have peace when our world is turned upside down? The world's peace is sketchy. Jesus offers a different kind, built on God Himself, that thrives in the storm.

Press On
After the inventory and the asking comes the pressing on. Forgetting what lies behind, straining toward what lies ahead. We have a new start. We choose to run.

Before Your Feet Hit the Floor
Before your feet hit the floor each morning, surrender the day to Him. Humility isn't thinking less of ourselves, it's thinking of ourselves less often. His will over our own.
