Real Hope
I love Easter.
Growing up in the 60’s in a Pastor’s home, Easter was always an exciting time for us. Often my sisters got new dresses, and my brother and I got new suits to wear to church. There was, of course, candy involved. And I loved the sunrise services. We held them outdoors in the cemetery that was adjacent to the church building. There is something about gathering outside, early in the morning, with my church family, that I still treasure.
Mission: Philippines – we’re excited!
We’re getting so excited about our mission trip to the Philippines this spring! Tickets have been purchased, we’re working on in-country lodging, our missionary partners are preparing our “do-lists,” and our 21-person mission team is working on seeking partners to help pray and support each one in this inspiring endeavor!
I Became a Minister
“I Became a Minister” is the testimony of Paul to the Christians in Colossae. It is easy to look at the life and letters of Paul and recognize that he was clearly a minister (diakonos). I am grateful for the “ministers” that God has placed in my life, especially my Dad.

Let’s P.R.A.Y.!
We’ve been studying how to pray for each other from Colossians 1:9-14. Prompted by our study, several questions have come up. Do my prayers really matter? Can I change God’s mind about things and situations? How do I know I’m praying for the right things?
Having the Faith to Remove Your Mask
…we tend to project an image that we believe to be proper and admirable. We put on a mask that conceals our weaknesses, fears, regrets, struggles, pains, worries, and sins as we fear revealing our authentic selves to the world.
Lord, I Need You!
Lord, I need You, oh, I need You.
Every hour, I need you.
My one defense, my righteousness,
Oh God, how I need You.
The Importance of God’s Revelations
Everything we learn about God is significant and life-shaping. As Christians, we read the Bible because it reveals what is important to know about Him. God reveals Himself in specific ways, and it’s essential to understand how the Bible explains this. In this article, we’ll discuss how God reveals Himself and what the terms special revelation and general revelation mean.
