Faith in the Middle: Trusting God In Between the Boat and the Blessing
Peter Walked on the Water Until He Got Distracted By The ELements The January 18th Bible Study was more than a lesson—it was a divine moment.

Plugged In and Pressed In We opened with a strong sense of connection—plugging in to God’s presence through Psalm 91…

We Have The Mind of Christ
1 Corinthians 2:16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.

Loving what He loves and hating what He hates. It means understanding the holiness of God and the awfulness of sin. Thus, receiving the…
God’s Care

His thoughts for us are unfathomable and immeasurable.As the Apostle Paul writes, eyes hath not seen, nor ear heard neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for…
The Nature of God
2 Peter 1:4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these we might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. As believers we partake of the very nature of God. When the Holy Spirit comes to live in us, the nature of God comes with it.

The Vision is Yet For An Appointed Time
HAbakkuk 2:3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry. God replies that Habakkuk is to wait for the appointed time. What God did not mention is that the appointed time would take six decades creating a long gap between promise and fulfillment. Are you wrestling in prayer as you wait for God’s promises…
Rejoicing In Trials
1 Peter 1:7 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ: We must rejoice in our various trials because remaining faithful to Christ in the midst of them will purify our faith and result in praise, glory and honor both to us and the Lord Jesus Christ at His coming.
