“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field… Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls: Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it” (Matthew 13:44–46, KJV). “But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven… For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also” (Matthew 6:20–21, KJV). In two short parables,…
“Because you did not believe Me, to hallow Me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore you shall not bring this assembly into the land which I have given them.” (Numbers 20:12, NKJV) When Obedience Becomes Optional Disobedience is defined as a refusal or failure to obey authority.…

“Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the Lord delivereth him out of them all.” (Psalm 34:19) “We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed.” (II Corinthians 4:8-9) Pressure is something we all experience. It may not look like David running for his life from King Saul, or Paul being beaten, imprisoned, and persecuted, but pressure still finds its way into our everyday lives. It shows up in different forms, such as the weight of responsibilities, unanswered prayers, emotional exhaustion, financial strain,…
Jeremiah 29:11 KJV “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.” Plans. We women love to make them. We purchase cute and trendy calendars at the beginning of each year in an often futile attempt to manage and plan for the next 365 days of our lives. We display calendars on our walls, have apps on our phones, and take mental notes of the next event on the schedule that we need to plan/attend. I feel flustered and exhausted even typing this.…
“Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;” Titus 2:13 It hardly seems that a year has passed since December 2022 was ending and we were looking ahead to a new year, wondering what it would hold for all of us. The word that I chose for the year was “Anticipation.” Throughout the year our Prayer Team has focused on the Harvest – revival in our hearts, and a burden to see prodigals return to the fold. God has blessed our church abundantly. We have had many visitors and several…
“Awake, awake; put on thy strength, O Zion; put on thy beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city: for henceforth there shall no more come into thee the uncircumcised and the unclean. Shake thyself from the dust; arise, and sit down, O Jerusalem: loose thyself from the bands of thy neck, O captive daughter of Zion.” Isaiah 52:1-2 How quickly dust accumulates in our homes if we let it. My husband was retired before me and so he did the housework for a few years. He did not like dusting, so his solution was to pack away things that he…
