2019 Edition - Psalm 107 Jobey McGinty Psalm 107 says that if we, the redeemed of the Lord, are aware of His steadfast love, we ought to "say so" in the midst of the congregation!

A good reminder for us as we look back to 2019 and head into the new year.

Praying the Psalms (Psalm 100) Eric Price The disciples asked Jesus to teach them how to pray. Prayer is not natural for us. At least not real, biblical prayer. Complaints and wish lists and pouring our hearts out is natural, but is that all prayer is?

Advent: His Kingdom is Forever, Revelation 3.15, 16 Jobey McGinty To make room for something means getting rid of something else that is taking up current room. To prepare Christ room in your heart, go idol hunting. Evict the idols in your heart that are robbing Him of His space. Blaspheme and bulldoze your idols, and make way for the King!

Advent: His Kingdom is Forever, Matthew 3.1-3 Eric Price Confession, regret, transparency, and saying "sorry" is not the same as repentance. They may all be a part of it, but in themselves, they are not repentance. Real repentance starts with heart change, but is proven by change of action.

Advent: His Kingdom is Forever, Matthew 24.14 Jobey McGinty Advent means "appearance" or "arrival." Most often we associate this with the arrival of the Messiah, the Savior, or even the King.

When we pray, "Your Kingdom come, Your will be done," what is it that we are praying for, a...

Your Kingdom Come - Habakkuk 3.16-19 Jobey McGinty The strength of our faith will rise and fall. There will be times when our faith almost seems nonexistent, and the enemy has a heyday with our doubt, shame, and condemnation.

Your Kingdom Come - Habakkuk 3.3-15 Jobey McGinty Memories, souvenirs, keepsakes, and memorials all serve the purpose of helping us remember.

Habakkuk 3.1, 2 Jobey McGinty In this third and final chapter, we see Habakkuk have a heart change. His response to God's "hard pill to swallow" forecast of trials is initially pushed back upon, but eventually Habakkuk not only hears God's announcement, but also sees His heart and purpose behind it. He asks God to continue His work, but also to reveal to His people that it is He that is bringing a...

Your Kingdom Come - Habakkuk 2.18-20 Jobey McGinty  Every time we complain about life events, we essentially put God on trial.

His Kingdom Come - Habakkuk 2.6-17 Jobey McGinty It can be devastating to look at all the tragedies of life, from cancer, death, divorce, gossip, war, poverty, and everything else, and think that these "enemies" are getting away with their pillaging and destruction. But God is not slow concerning the fact that He will not be mocked, nor will He let those who bring about destruction go unpunished o...

Anniversary, Elder Candidate Announcement - Matthew 5.16 Jobey McGinty Christians ought to desire to live their lives in a fishbowl: open, transparent, and exposed in a way that the world can see in.

Your Kingdom Come - Habakkuk 1.12-2.5 Jobey McGinty Often we have questions, doubts, fears, and even complaints against God. How should we go to God to express these thoughts and feelings?

Your Kingdom Come - Habakkuk 1.1-11 Jobey McGinty Does God "allow" bad things to enter into life, or does He "cause" them? What brings you more comfort? A passive God who seemingly arbitrarily allows tragedy according to His whim, or an active God who is loving, all powerful, and unfolding a plan according to His wisdom? We may scoff at the idea of God being in perfect control (and choice) concern...
