The remarkable story of Job gives us a front-row seat to perhaps the most severe faith test ever documented. Following our series on wilderness experiences, we dive into Job chapter 1, where we witness a man whose relationship with God transcended his circumstances in ways that challenge and inspire us today.

Have you ever found yourself looking back at what you left behind when facing new challenges? That's exactly what the Israelites did when trapped between Pharaoh's army and the Red Sea.

What happens when we clearly hear God's direction but choose to go the opposite way? The story of Jonah provides a powerful mirror for our own spiritual journeys.

Most of us know about Jonah's dramatic encounter with the great fish, but today's reflection digs deeper into what it means to run from God's calling. Unlike Daniel who suffered despite his faithful obedience, Jonah created his own mess throug...

What does your prayer life reveal about your faith? In this illuminating exploration of Nehemiah 1:1-11, we uncover the profound connection between our prayer habits and our true belief in God's sovereignty.

Are you willing to have the hard conversations with your friends?  Are you willing to listen when they approach you with hard conversations?  "Iron sharpens iron" I have to remain in the word of God to be sharp.  If I neglect this time and I'm not sharp, I won't be able to sharpen anyone else.
