Jesus talked with His disciples and a crowd of thousands when He said: (NASB) Luke 12:35-36 “Be dressed in readiness, and keep your lamps lit. 36 ‘Be like men who are waiting for their master when he returns from the wedding feast, so that they may immediately open the door to him when he […]
The prayer of the week is based on Psalm 33:1-4 You are the God Who delights in Your children. Your word tells me to sing joyfully to You, it is right to praise You! For those skilled in playing musical instruments, to use them in singing and playing with joy to You the living God! […]
What is important to you? What is your priority for this day? What is important ~ that is what you treasure. What is your priority ~ that is what you put first in your life. What did Jesus say about what I should do with what is important to me? (NASB) Luke 12:33-34 “Sell your […]

The prayer of the week is based on 2 Corinthians 4:16-18; 5:7 I come to You, the living God of the Bible whose words are truth, from first to last. You tell me not to become discouraged nor wearied out by being fearful. My body may be unhealthy but my innermost being is being renewed […]
