No power of our own
God wants to make Himself real to us. He does not want us to run on our own steam. Our strength fades, but God’s power has no end. We need to run on God. It is like batteries that need to be constantly charged if they are going stay fully charged. There needs to be this connection….
The better way
God is offering us a better way of living. This better way of living is a life of trusting God. It starts as we begin to understand just how great God is and as we begin to understand that nothing is beyond His control or out of His reach. Psalm 24:1 The earth belongs to…
When trouble comes

God, through His Holy Spirit came upon His people. A sound of wind was heard across the city. Tongues of fire appeared. These tongues…

What is Pentecost?
Pentecost is a special time for us as believers. It is a time when we remember that God has done and where it all started. It is a time to remember how the power and the presence of the Holy Spirit radically changed the world. It is a time to remember the birth and the…
