Leaping for Joy
My friend invited me to attend a worship concert at her church, and we arrived just as the music started to soar. We scooted into two empty seats in the back row of the sanctuary, but we never sat down and actually remained standing for the duration of the service. I...

Week 1- Jesus the Rescuer
I woke up this morning to the sound of my phone ringing. It was an early morning phone call… the kind you don’t ever want to get. The kind you witness through TV or the movies but pray you don’t ever receive in real life. That was the kind of phone call I woke up to...
Introduction to Galatians!

Hello, and welcome to our last week of our Psalm 119 study! I am so proud of everyone who has stuck with us this far. Psalm 119 is not an action packed chapter - instead, it methodically and in great detail lays out the virtues of God’s word and the effects it has in...
