How are we to look at struggles and hard times?
Friday Devotions - The Invisible but Real Enemy
Devotions – The Invisible but Real Enemy Ephesians 6:10-18. The enemy is Satan, he is powerful and real. Being a believer doesn’t make you immune from the attacks of the enemy, it actually makes you more likely to be attacked. But we can be confident because we have access to the power of the Father and the "weapons" he's given us to fight.
Thursday Thoughts - Don't Be Discouraged
Are you celebrating Day 4 of Healthy Spiritual Habits? Don't be discouraged if you're not. Every day is a new day of opportunities to start fresh. God's mercies are new every morning, one of my favorite reminders to give others and myself the same grace He's given to me. (Lamentations 3:22-23)

Tuesday Truths - Isaiah 55:11
God's Word never returns without having fulfilled its purpose. This promise from Isaiah 55:11 gives me much hope and comfort as I reengage in Scripture. As I continue to dive deeper into The Word, God continues to use His Words to make an impact in my life.
Monday Mission - Healthy Habits
If I told you I was struggling with healthy habits, what would you think I'm struggling with? Automatically most people would assume I'm referencing illegal substances, poor dietary choices, or maybe lack of exercise. In reality, I'm struggling with keeping healthy spiritual habits. Praying with intentionality and meaning, deep conversations with God, daily Bible reading time, and devotions. What about you, how's your spiritual health right now?

John 8:12 “When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”

At our staff meeting last week, Adrie shared a moving story about two people who were on absolute opposite ends of an issue, and even though they considered the other an enemy, found a way to reach out to each other over a cup of coffee.
Friday Devotional- Jesus in the Book of Daniel
We’ve been working through the Old Testament looking for the New Testament Jesus 100’s even 1,000’s of years before He was born. They’re all great stories on their own, but they absolutely paint a picture of who Jesus will be and what he’ll do for those who believe. Jesus claimed that the entire Old Testament pointed to Him (Luke 24:27; John 5:46). Since the Book of Daniel is a part of the OT, let’s take a look to see how it points to Jesus.
