Monday Mission - Small Steps

How are we all doing on our New Year’s Resolutions? Some of us may have made a goal to work out more or lose a certain amount of weight. Others may have wanted to read the Bible more.

Monday Mission-Where is Your Focus?

Monday Mission - Fire's Result

I’m not one to talk about high school very often, but in the last 2 weeks, it’s come up several times. The high school I went to wasn’t the wealthy high school in my area. It wasn’t the nicest and we weren’t the best in sports. Off-handedly I joked that “well, if the fire doesn’t destroy you, it will refine you!”

Monday Mission - Are you ready?

Now that this is the second week of 2024, I’m still thinking about what this year could look like for me. I heard the question asked in a podcast, “Is your soul ready for 2024?”. That really got me thinking; am I truly bringing God into my life and into all my plans.

Monday Mission - The Lord's Timing

Following God's direction can be difficult. Even when we are sure of our course of action, the timing and the "how" may still be a mystery. King David's direction was certain but his path unknown.
