When you hear the word home, what memories come to mind?  Did you have a solid upbringing in that home?  Did you look forward to returning and being home with parents, siblings, and other family?  Or, did you seek ways to not return?  Listen to today's devotional on Jesus' reception back home.  Be blessed!

Psalm 130 is a record of the psalmist sharing his faith in a loving and patient, and very forgiving God.  May his words be our prayer as we examine how we stand before God on a daily basis.  Listen and be blessed.

Imagine having no money and no doctor to go and see?  And imagine being near to One who was rumored to be the Son of God, who did heal?  That's what a ruler of a synagogue did for his daughter, and what a woman who had suffered 12 years of uncontrolled blood flow and who had no money did; they sought Jesus for their healing, and healing is what they got!  Listen and be blessed!

One of the most epic battle stories in the Bible!  The Giant Goliath versus the shepherd boy, David.  Hear it again and listen to be blessed!  You may just find what you need to face the giants in your life!

Incredible.  That's the only word I can think of to describe the Apostle Paul's faith and determination to share the good news of Jesus Christ with the whole world.  He seemed superhuman because of all the negativity and evil he faced, and the blows, whippings, ship wrecks, and other things that he found on his journeys sharing Jesus.  Many of us would have given up, but he never di...

Like the mustard seed, tiny and seemingly powerless, a 15 year old boy was anointed as king of Israel.  He was nothing like the outgoing king, who was very handsome and stood literally head and shoulders above the average Jew in Israel!  Yet, like the mustard seed, it is the inside that counts when it comes to God!  Listen and be blessed!

It's not the size of the seed, Jesus says, it's the faith found within it.  Whether you think you have a small faith the size of a mustard seed (among the world's smallest seeds) or the seed the size of the double-coconut, it's what your faith guides you to do that counts in God's kingdom.  The question becomes, what are you doing with your faith?  Listen and learn!

Thunder, lightning, rainstorms, floods, and the like, make some people scared.  The psalmist saw God's hand in all of that and stood in awe, grateful awe, for what God can and does do for us.  Listen to today's devotional.  Be a blessing to someone today!

It is amazing what inspiration can drive a person to do.  Witness the works of the psalmist; driven to write some of the most wonderful songs of praise as well as some depressing accounts of sadness and sorrow - all the work of God's Holy Spirit in his life that allowed him both to give thanks as well as to ask forgiveness.  May we be blessed by hearing this devotional and may we be rene...

Dream of playing in the Big Leagues?  Would you be willing to play a few years in the Minor League?  Imagine being a follower of Jesus, not on the 12 Disciples, but being in the group of 120 that followed and witnessed all that God did through Jesus, and then one day having your phone ring and the manager says, "Kid, we're calling you up; you're starting tomorrow!"  Well, there was...

No better witness than God, especially when it comes to an important question as eternal life; who has it, who will live after death, who will make it, etc.  Listen to the witness of God as 1 John explains it to us!
