Sometimes those skills executed at a larger scale can bring insight about what you thought your passion was versus what it really is.  Take Lea Chadwell…

I’m a part of a family of 4. It’s my dad, mom, sister and myself as the youngest.  When it comes to driving, my dad drives our family everywhere. If he’s ever not able to drive or the responsibility needs to be shared, it flows down to the next family member. I’m always the last…

Warning! Dangerous prayer coming in 3…2..1.. Lord, empty me on earth before I get to heaven.  Just like Jesus said he didn’t come for health but for the sick, your purpose in Christ won’t be beneficial in heaven.  What good is it to start teaching, leading or encouraging people who have already made it to…

Do you believe what God believes about you? Or is your flesh, natural thoughts and the enemy so loud it’s drowning out God’s truth? If you struggle with what God believes about you or you need his voice to be higher than the rest, this sermon below is the exact encouragement you need. See you…

You may be a Republican or you may be a Democrat, but I pray you belong to the family of God.  You may not like the names on the ballot, but I pray your name will be in the Lamb’s book of life.  You may have lost faith in the US government, but true justice…

I’ll first start by saying how blessed I am to have a job. Like many, there are aspects of our jobs that are less than desirable.  This week, I had a call scheduled that I really didn’t want to do. Before it was scheduled I prayed that it wouldn’t be assigned to me, but yet…

Today is my birthday and I’m so thankful for more life and the promise that I get to live until I’m satisfied [Psalm 91:16]! I want to share two things that I’ve been reflecting on this week: Consistency instead of intensity. This isn’t a new concept, but it is one that once applied makes all…

I’m laying on my back, arms at my side, as if I’m on a surgical table and I begin to pray. As I’m praying I think about everywhere I need a healing touch.  I experience chronic headaches so I prayed over my head and envisioned the Lord performing surgery on my nerves and making everything…
