Who do you live for?
In Philippians 1:19-26 we see the apostle Paul’s perspective on the life: there is something more to live for. He is living for what comes next, not for what is right now. What is the driving purpose of your life?
Haiti Mission Trip
Today we heard from the team that went to Haiti about how God used them in a variety of ways to further his kingdom. Jared spoke about how the mission field isn’t just someplace that we fly to, but it is all around us. The great commission in Matthew 28:19-20 can be translated “As you are going, make disciples…”
Ninth Commandment: Do Not Lie

Power of God: Don’t Look Back
In Exodus 13:17-14:31 the children of Israel have escaped Egypt and camp by the sea. They look back in fear as Pharaoh comes after them but we see 3 ways that God’s mercy and grace is displayed: His Promise to them. His Presence with them. His Power for them. They thought the enemy behind them was more powerful than the God before them. Often times we have a tendency to look back to things that we’re used to or are…
