Jesus came to earth as the "peace child", to bring peace to a broken world. Without the peace of Jesus in our lives, there is no peace. Let His peace rule your heart.

We might not be able to get it all right, but Jesus can make it all right. If we let Jesus take control of our lives, and if we give an example of Jesus to our children, our families will be blessed in Him.

Before we even see the answers, we can thank God for the answers that are on the way. Having a heart of Thanksgiving is living a lifestyle of giving thanks to God for the things we can see and the things we cannot.

Our walk with God is a “love walk”, a relationship. This journey requires us to grow. He wants us to grow in His grace and in knowledge of who He is. Our lives are meant to glorify our Creator, so He will not remove suffering from our life. He expects us to grow through it!

In looking for identity, people waste so much of their life trying on identities that don’t work. Our identity is supposed to be in Jesus. God’s Word is a mirror, showing us who we are AND who we can be!

We can pour out our hearts to the Lord in prayer and He will pour back into us His desires. When He speaks to us, it will be what is good and precious. Hold fast to that which is sacred, and His will can be accomplished in you!

God is absolutely consumed with that which is lost. He would rather leave the ninety-nine that are saved and go find the one who is lost. Nothing can stop a church that is focused on what God is focused on.

| Rev. Joe Zirpoli | The only way to obtain our spiritual inheritance is through faith. To whom much is given, much is required. God sees what we do with our faith and He responds accordingly.

| Rev. Joe Zirpoli | Faith is the one thing that moves God. He gave each of us a measure of faith, so that we all have it. He responds to us when we use the faith that we've been given!

Love can be applied in every situation. The most broken heart can be healed by love. The most toxic relationship can be fixed by love. Love never fails.

How are we spending our time? What we do with our time, shows what is most important to us. We spend so much time building our life, while forgetting our forever. When we give our life to God, He will take care of our forever, and give us eternal life.

In a world of shifting sand, unfaithfulness, inconsistency, there is only ONE thing we can depend on: "I am the Lord and I CHANGE NOT".

God gives us the first breath of life. But He has made His power available through the gift of the Holy Ghost. He wants to give us our "second wind"!

Sometimes it seems like God is delaying His answer to our prayer. Real trust means that we let Him be the Lord of the timetable. He WILL come through! God's love is in His delay, we put ourselves in the position to receive the miracle that He's been planning for us all along.

What is the source of your affirmation? We were made to abide in God, and He in us. We can’t let the difficulties of life become the deity of our life! Bitterness will ultimately destroy what was once healthy, if it is not eradicated by surrender to the One who is the only Deity we ever need.

God has healed us and prepared us, but we cannot just sit in the presence of a God, enjoying His blessings. Now we have to be ready and willing to go where He wants us to go, and expect His anointing to accomplish His purpose.

The hospitality of God is found in mercy, love, and forgiveness. Our service to God must be a hospitable service of offering the same mercy, love, and forgiveness that we have received. God will do the miraculous through the hospitality we offer to others!

Jesus gave us an example of hospitality that the Church must follow. The Bible commands us to pursue hospitality as a lifestyle. Warmth and welcome draws people to want what they see. Then we can minister to their needs!

We must lay some things down in order to pick up the things God really wants us to carry. God really does want to do the miraculous, but we have to submit our flesh to His Spirit first. Then we will be able to declare the works of our unprecedented God!

We advance in God’s Kingdom when we commit ourselves to the climb. God calls us, but we have to actually do the climbing. The divine mission God calls us to is the destiny of the Church, and can only be accomplished through commitment.

On our spiritual journey, we need the Word of God to guide us, protect us, and give us wisdom. When life brings storms our way, we can seek shelter in God’s Word!

We tend to focus on the "highlights" of our lives as the best stories to tell. But God brings us into valleys, low points in our lives, with purpose. It's the lessons we learn in the valleys that are valuable to us when we are climbing to new heights.

God is a father to the fatherless. He is the best guide to those who don't have a good father example as well as to the man who desire to be a good father. We can look to God's word to provide all our needs.

Fix your focus on Jesus. The enemy will attack you and cause you to get sidetracked, if you are continually looking at Jesus. We cannot make it without Him as our guide. If our eyes are on the Lord, we can enjoy the climb!

If you are a true disciple of Jesus Christ, Jesus will not just be apart of your life, but Jesus will BE your life. He is the I AM...whatever we need Him to be.
