Is God’s Grace Enough?
Is God’s grace really enough? In life’s most painful moments, can grace really make a difference? Paul shared how God’s grace impacted his pain. We can experience the same grace, no matter how painful our pain is. Telsie shared (19:28) this past week at Bethel –...
Will I Curse or Bless God?
How do we respond when bad things happen? Whether we articulate it or not, we either make the choice to curse God, or bless God. If we blame God or push him away, we are denying his grace, and essentially cursing God and his plan. If we embrace God and depend on...
I Want To Quit
What do we do when we’re faced with difficult days? We have two choices – run or grow. It’s easier to run; we don’t have to face the pain. If we run, however, we’ll be certain to face the situation again. It’s harder to grow; we have to face the pain. If we grow,...

Should Christians Participate in Halloween?
Most Christians have already made up their mind on this issue. Halloween is either a good thing or a bad thing. I’m not sure if the answer is as simple that either good or bad. In order to live in the world and be witnesses of Christ, we should be identifying the...
Supporting Our Youth
If you want a strong youth ministry in your assembly, you have to support them. We may not always understand or agree with new methods of ministry, but support is vital if we want the Church to grow. We often want the success (ie. YCNL with 2000+ youth attending),...

“All you need is love.” – John Lennon “An eye for an eye will only make the whole world blind.” – Mahatma Gandhi “Peace begins with a smile…” – Mother Teresa “If you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all.” – Nan The world is striving for some level of...
