Join Crystal as she finishes up our study in Ephesians with a closer look at the Armour of God.  Anyone who is trying to live a Spirit-filled--that is, a Spirit-controlled--life, is in the midst of a very real spiritual battle.

We've all experienced some kind of church hurt at one time or another. Listen to today's episode by Charity Berkey as she shares the four steps of healing after experiencing church hurt. H - Heed or Recognize the Hurt E - Erect Boundaries A - Allow your Heart to Forgive   L -  Learn to Rebuild Faith & Trust Connect with the ladies of Her Portion, HERE !

Our purpose in studying church hurt should be to protect ourselves from being either the “offender” or the “offendee." First, we must understand the importance of being involved in a local, Bible believing church. It truly is God’s design for New Testament believers which we can find all throughout Scripture. God’s design for a church is unity in doctrine, service, and purpose. At the same ti...

Spiritual growth is never comfortable, but it’s  always compassionate.

Join Crystal as she continues our study of Galatians. Paul presses on to contradict the false teachings of the Judaizers who were trying to add works to salvation by grace. We are to stand firm in the liberty we have in Christ--we have been freed from the law! However, that liberty is not a license to sin or to continue to live however we please.  Warren Wiersbe said, “Somewhere between license an...

Sheeeesh… is there even a more controversial conversation of the church today?! So so so much hurt wrapped up in that one word, “standards.” I’d guarantee more people have left the church over the topic of standards than doctrine or any other conversation.  How many people have not heard the Gospel because we have elevated our standards above the message of the cross? I’m guilty.  How many people...

“Thou crownest the year with thy goodness; and thy paths drop fatness.“ (Psalm 65:11) Do you want to have a good year? I believe everyone would answer that question with an astounding yes. Although, sometimes as the year progresses we can be sidetracked by all the obstacles.  Instead our focus should be on the goodness of God and the beauty He creates from every season.  Listen to this episode as...
