God has a wonderful plan and purpose for our lives. The fulfillment of what God has planned for us cannot come to pass unless we completely surrender to Him and to fully follow and obey His word. God wants to bless His people, not just individuals, but every one of them. None of us are here by accident. He has prepared something bigger than any of us can imagine or comprehend. That is often a spir...

God has a plan for our lives; that plan does not involve chaos. God’s plan is ordered and planned. If we read God’s word, we can discover that plan and receive the blessings God desires. God has prepared the most beautiful life for us, but sometimes, we allow the voices of our world to distract us.

Every instrument or machine created has to have some maintenance or recalibration from time to time. Everyone encounters a pothole or hits a curb that knocks a wheel out of alignment. Sometimes we need a spiritual recalibration, and we find that at an altar. That altar is a place of reference where we can return to remember the goodness of God and how He provides. In our text, God was about to bri...

Mary and the Shepherds both receive a word that changes their lives. They did not hesitate when they received their word and acted immediately. When God gives us a word, it is special just for us, and we must receive that word and act to fulfill the purpose God has for us.

Romans is an interesting book. Paul is writing to a church he has never been to. He begins with a compliment and, in so doing, begins to tear down the walls of resistance and distance. He had to establish a rapport with people with whom he had no relationship and who only knew him by reputation. We can learn from Paul’s approach to reach a world that only knows us by our reputation.

We all have seen a maze. Twists and turns that, most of the time, lead to a dead end. Only one way leads to the exit. In life, we do not have the luxury of looking ahead to plan our route like we do with the maze on the coloring sheet. Our text is from the story of Jesus’ birth in Bethlehem. Herod instructed the wise men to return to him with word of Jesus’ location. God warned the wise men not to...

The power of our thoughts is more significant than we understand. Thoughts shape our lives and our view of life. Often a stray thought can disrupt and destroy a beautiful moment. That creeping thought takes over our minds and pushes out the beauty before us. These invading throughs can deny us the beauty and peace of life. The power of our thoughts has a tremendous influence on our happiness. We a...

We all have a wagon of things that we drag along with us. Burdens, heartaches, responsibilities, and hurts. Navigating the path of life is daunting and pulling our wagon of things along makes it even more difficult. Too often, our wagons carry much more than they were intended to. We live in an overwhelmed world. Everyone is trying to keep up. We come to God under heavy burdens just dealing with d...

Brother Starks continues his study of the Beatitudes focusing tonight on being the salt of the earth.

From the beginning, God knew that man would fall, and that sin would separate Him from His creation. One could ask why God would even create man if He knew this would happen. The answer is that from the beginning, God had a plan. The cross was going to happen. God does not decide before we are born if we go to heaven or hell, but His desire is that we all go to heaven. Too many people live their l...

It is human nature that makes us want to be in control. This goes back to the fall of man in the garden, where God removed dominion as punishment. We live in a society that preaches antiauthority, and too often this mirrors what happens in the spiritual world. To respond to God, we have to yield control. The enemy of our salvation is not the devil but our pride. That pride will get in the way of t...

Some things God gives us are for that moment, and other things are timeless. God gives us grace to bridge the gap between what we have and need. None of us can do it on our own, and He is looking for us to surrender all that we have to Him so he can finish it. God knows enough about us to know that none of us have enough to finish it. The question is, do we want to finish it? God has the differenc...

We talk a lot about seasons: Baseball Season, Hunting Season, and the Holiday season. Seasons are temporary, and if it will happen again next year. We often describe portions of life as a season. Some are joyful and pleasant, but others are painful and difficult. Fall marks the change of time between Summer and Winter. Temperatures drop, days get shorter, and the leaves change colors and fall from...
