“He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.” Psalm 91:1-2 KJV This week, we will study Psalm 91 and spend time unearthing all the beauty and wonder in its 16 verses. Psalm 91 has been a great source of strength in my life. In moments of uncertainty and confusion, I have often returned to those familiar scriptures. I am so excited to learn alongside all of you! I have spent…
“Because a loveless world,” said Jesus, “is a sightless world.” John 14:23 MSG Scripture reminds us repeatedly how important it is to have a vision. Proverbs 29:18 tells us that where there is no vision, the people perish. That sounds pretty serious to me. We must be able to see…
“For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him. As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us. Psalm 103:11-12 Forgiven – to no longer hold sin against the person who has…

“Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.” Matthew 6:19-20 As we read the Gospels, we realize that not everyone that Jesus encountered in His ministry made the right choices. Today we will look at the story recorded in Luke 18:18-25. This young man somehow felt that Jesus had something he longed to…
“Evening and morning and at noon I will pray, and cry aloud, and He shall hear my voice.” (Psalm 55:17, NKJV) Prayer is a beautiful privilege given by God to His creation. The most basic definition of prayer is simply a conversation with God. In my lifetime, I have seen a number of prominent people from a distance, but I never had the opportunity to hold a conversation with any of them. Yet, at any given moment, I can personally converse with Almighty God. I can talk to the Creator of the universe. That amazes and humbles me. Isn’t it…
“By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.” Hebrews 11:7 Last week we had a severe storm in our area. For almost three hours, we had thunderstorms, high winds, heavy rain and even hail. It caused a lot of problems as streets filled with water and basements flooded. Power was cut for safety reasons. What a relief when the rain ended. The story of Noah is…
“By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went.” Hebrews 11:8 I never get tired of reading Abraham’s story in the Old Testament. There are so many lessons we can learn from this man who was so faithful to God. He was willing to leave everything he had and start on a journey to an unknown place, simply trusting that the Lord would be with him. The Lord led him step by step until he finally reached the…
