7 MAY 2024 · Consider for a moment the great honor and joy of carrying out God's plan for your own life, and the rest of the whole world too. Those two things, the plans he has for you and the plans he has for this old world intersect and interact with each other. What a privilege!

6 MAY 2024 · If I were to ask you right now who your favorite Bible hero is, I imagine you would say David, with God's help, he slayed Goliath the giant, or Daniel. God rescued him from the lion's den, but unsung heroes, that's a little trickier. This week I googled unsung heroes of the Bible and two unusual names popped up, and right away I said, "Yes, let's do it"... Let's call the midwives!

30 APR 2024 · You know what so often happens if we allow it, when our plans change, our perspective changes too. I'm never a fan of when plans change, but so often it's God inviting us into the work He's doing in our own hearts and in the people around us. Today, we are going to be studying the life of Saul, a man who went from persecuting Christians to a faithful servant of the Lord Jesus. Let's dig in.
