Journey with Hope

In John chapter 17, Jesus, our role model, prays for us to His Father. I hear many people ask why should they pray when God already...

Jesus is our true Christmas blessing. He didn’t come just to change our circumstances — He came to turn us from sin and restore our fellowship with God. Through Him we receive forgiveness, peace, and eternal life. Blessings aren’t about luck or comfort, but about God’s favor and our place in Christ. As we celebrate His birth, may we remember His love and share that blessing with others.

In telling the story of Paul's conversion Paul said that Jesus spoke to him on the road to Damascus. In Acts 26:14 Paul says that Jesus...

This Christmas, we can all have a truly “white Christmas” — not with falling snow, but through the cleansing grace of God. Isaiah, David, and John each remind us that our sins can be washed “white as snow” when we repent and turn to Christ. Through His blood, Jesus purifies us, restores us, and brings us into the light of new life. This season, may we celebrate the One who makes our hearts clean and calls us to walk as children of God.

In the beginning, on the very first day, God created the light and called it good (Genesis 1). It wasn't until the fourth day that God...

What an indescribable blessing. In Luke chapter two the Angel of the Lord tells the lowly shepherds that he brings good news that will...

The Apostle Peter was convinced that the end of the world was close at hand (1 Peter 4:7). This belief was also seen in James 5:7-8 and 1...

The Bible tells us to pray without ceasing but are there times when it is time to stop praying and do something? There are several...

God has spoken—are we truly listening? Too often our prayers are filled with requests, but we don’t pause to hear His voice. Hebrews 1:1-2 reminds us that God now speaks through His Son, and the Holy Spirit helps us discern His Word. Hearing is passive, but listening requires action and obedience. James 1:22 calls us to be doers, not just hearers. God listens to us—will we listen to Him?

I heard a pastor say recently that we have confused love for people with being friends with our enemies. I thought about this a lot. ...

Worship in Appearance Only Isaiah 58 has a strong rebuke from the Lord about worship. In this chapter God says His people appear to be...

Moses Sings In Deuteronomy 32 Moses sings a song to the people of Israel. This song of Moses was to remind the people of who their...

Will You Serve God? God is looking for those who will serve Him. He wants to use us in these uncertain times to bring hope, to bring Jesus, to others. How will God use you? Do you think it is impossible for God to use you? Many mighty people of old thought the same and yet God used them in ways they never thought possible. Is It Impossible For God To Use You? Do you think your past will make it impossible for God to use you? Look at Moses. He was a murderer, on the ru

Peter, the Lord's disciple, was a fisher of men. The Lord had much to teach Peter and Peter learned much about what it meant to truly...

Paul talks of our Christian life and compares it to a race. A race that must be run with endurance. What does that actually mean? ...

We are told repeatedly in the Bible to give thanks to God. In good times it's easy to see God's blessings but often when things are not...

I live in a farming community and my husband is a farmer. He has a particular way that he likes to see a field worked, particular...

Following rules isn’t the same as loving God. The Pharisees followed every law but missed the heart of worship—love, mercy, and faith. Jesus calls us to something greater: a relationship, not a checklist. Only in Him do we find true rest for our souls.

In 2 Corinthians 5: 20, Paul tells us that we are ambassadors for Christ. What does an ambassador actually do in our world today? Their...

This week has been pretty overwhelming for many people. A new war has broken out in the Middle East. Horrific atrocities are happening,...
