"Consider the work of God; For who can make straight what He has made crooked? In the day of prosperity be joyful, But in the day of adversity consider: Surely God has appointed the one as well as the other, So that man can find out nothing that will come after him." Ecc. 7:13-14

"Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for those who love Him."

"So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God." Romans 10:17

"It's time." The author of Ecclesiastes writes in Ecclesiastes 3:1 . . . “There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens.” Every January, we begin the year in a season of prayer and fasting.

If you sense God has more for your life, 21 Days of Prayer & Fasting is a great place to start believing Him for all that He has for you. As you practice seeking Him first, He will move on your behalf like never before. You will start to see the power of prayer impact your relationships, work, family, and every area of your life. We would love for you to be part of 21 Days of Prayer & Fasting. How do you get involved? You can receive daily encouragement and inspiration through our podcast (CLICK HERE).

The book of Jonah may be considered a children’s story, but it’s full of grown-up lessons. In this four-week series we’ll hear about the prophet, Jonah, who was instructed by God to speak to the awful people of Nineveh—the largest city in the world and call them to repentance. What we find is that Jonah wasn’t too keen on that idea. Throughout the month of October, we’ll discover how we can run with God instead of running from God.

We’ve all heard it said, “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” The truth is words are powerful! They have the power to build up or to tear down. They have the power to influence and impact the people around us for better or worse. Join us for this new series and see how your words really do shape your world!

We can get lost in the wilderness of tangled emotions. We can disappear in the darkness of our deepest depression and wonder "why isn't my faith strong enough to handle this?" You are not alone. Even in the darkness, God will still meet us. In this two-part series we hear about the hope that we have in Jesus as we talk about depression, its causes, and what we can do to step out of the cave and into the light.
