September 2, 2019

My question I am posing this week is do we love the house of God? How are you when you come into church on Sundays – full of the love of God with joy in your hearts or dragging your feet because sleeping in or the beach seems a better option. psalm 84 encourages us to love the House of God – to have joy in hearts.

Time to step out

June 23, 2019

Are you feeling uncomfortable in your present situation? Have you felt God calling you but you are too afraid? That’s what the four lepers felt. If they stayed where they were, they would starve, they couldn’t go into town because they were unclean so they decided to step out and go to the enemy’s camp. What did they find? Their provision and the provision to save their town but no enemy. God is calling us to step out to meet the needs of others. It is time to obey the call.
