How do you prepare for Christmas? Is it a focus on the presents and all of the activities? Or do you prepare your heart to receive His comfort, to behold His glory? To be filled with His joy so that you sing of Him on the mountain tops?

Advent is a time of hope. It’s a time of hope for the brokenhearted, for those who are captive and in spiritual prison and for those who are in mourning. In Christ Jesus we have our eternal and certain hope!

How can you endure in the uncertainties of life, when dark clouds of evil seem to cover the land? You focus on Him in whom there is no doubt: Christ the King!

You have been invited by name to His Banquet of Salvation! Hurry and accept! Then share this wonderous invitation with others.

Endurance is a word that often gets used with athletes, but it applies to faith as well. Paul wrote, “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.” And when talking about the End Time, Jesus encouraged his disciples to have an enduring faith to the very end.

Many boast in worldly wisdom and pride, but we boast in Jesus Christ who is the wisdom of God.

Church is often messy. That's exactly why the gospel is needed within the church.

Do you trust God above all things? Do you first seek His will and counsel?

The day is coming. Repentance is turning from evil to receive a blessing from God. Do you repent daily?

Even when things are spiritually dim, God’s light still shines. Even in the silence, God calls His servants to share His word.

No matter how strong your faith you might be, there comes a time when you are overwhelmed. You can have doubt, fear, or even depression and despair. Know that you God cares for you and will restore you even when things seem to be crashing down.

Into each and every culture, God calls people to stand up to the depravity. To call out sins of the nation and return them back to God. Elijah was such a man. He stood alone in the power of God.
