The book of Acts marks a significant time in God’s plan of redemption for mankind. It is an unprecedented time when the message spread with powerful effectiveness. It’s a beautiful thing when a plan comes together. We just need to make sure we are willing to come in alignment with the plan!

Last words make a powerful statement. Jesus' last words to His disciples were to be their first priority. The last words of Matthew, recording what Jesus said, focuses on our responsibility to make disciples. Luke recorded Jesus' last words in the book of Acts calling us to share Jesus everywhere with everyone. The gospel message is a GO message

Do you ever find yourself feeling like there’s no hope, like it’s over? Everywhere Jesus went, He met people who felt it was over; there’s no hope. But when Jesus entered their world, despair became hope. Sorrow turned to joy. Their impossibilities were changed into a beautiful new reality. When Jesus showed up, their "it’s over" spirit was transformed into a confident "it’s NOT over" belief. What...

We live in a world where we have excessive access to anything at any time. Do we have it all figured out? Or maybe, just maybe, are we more lost now than ever before?

Before God does a major work and ushers His people into a new reality, there’s usually some activity or event that precedes that moment. More than just being a case of cause and effect, God calls His people to prepare for what He is about to do. From the crossing of the Red Sea on dry ground to the Day of Pentecost, prior to His moving, God prepares His people for action. So just how is God callin...

Jeff Manion is the senior pastor at Ada Bible Church in Grand Rapids, Michigan. On Sunday evening of Fanning the Flame, Jeff talks about the power of redundant, repetitive faithfulness.

Finding a way to navigate the challenges and curve balls of life is absolutely essential to effective life in Christ. So what does your current reality look like? What’s the "this" that you are going through? Joseph, our guide for navigating tough times, gives us a clear path to victory. Yes, it won’t be easy or quick, but with God’s help, we will get through living in the land of "this."

“The days are coming,” declares the Sovereign Lord, “when I will send a famine through the land— not a famine of food or a thirst for water, but a famine of hearing the words of the Lord. People will stagger from sea to sea and wander from north to east, searching for the word of the Lord, but they will not find it." —Amos 8:11-12

“And now, do not be distressed and do not be angry with yourselves for selling me here, because it was to save lives that God sent me ahead of you. For two years now there has been famine in the land, and for the next five years there will be no plowing and reaping. But God sent me ahead of you to preserve for you a remnant on earth and to save your lives by a great deliverance.”

Forgive and forget. Put the past in the past. Move on. Popular mindsets and all the clichés push us toward the idea that we can simply leave the painful parts of our past behind. But what do we do when our past comes knocking on our door? How should we respond?

God desires us to be whole and holy. In spite of our background, our history, and our circumstances, He can do an amazing work of healing for our body, soul, and spirit. While most people receive a surface work of restoration, God desires us to experience a deep work of healing. It's a work that goes to the core of our spirit. Whether they are memories, wounds, abuse or relational pains, God, thro...

Times of heartbreak, confusion, disappointment and chaos often mark the path God has chosen for us to walk. Yet amidst the pain, we can live with a deep confidence in God’s ability to provide everything we need. No one gets an exemption of challenges, but everyone can live in complete confidence in God’s sustaining power.

But he refused. "With me in charge," he told her, "my master does not concern himself with anything in the house; everything he owns he has entrusted to my care. No one is greater in this house than I am. My master has withheld nothing from me except you, because you are his wife. How then could I do such a wicked thing and sin against God?”—Genesis 39:8-10

It’s guaranteed—life will throw us some curve balls. Our road will not always be smooth and easy. There will reversals, setbacks, and disappointments. Amidst these, though, we can have a deep faith in God and a confidence that His perfect will can be accomplished. Learning from Joseph equips us with everything we need for our journey. No matter what happens to us, we need not live as victims but a...

Most businesses take inventory at the end of the year. They close the books and discover the level of profit for the year. God taught His people to mark the moment. After great victories, God wanted His people to take inventory, celebrate His faithfulness, and capture that moment as a permanent reminder of His faithfulness. What God taught His people in the Old Testament is a great reminder for Hi...

December 24, 2017 | Galatians 4:4, Luke 2, Matthew 24-25 Timing is everything! Whether it’s a word spoken or a deed done, doing it at the right time adds incredible value. Our God is always perfect in His timing. It was that way with the birth of Jesus, His first Advent, and it will be that way in His second Advent. Although most were not prepared for His first coming as the Messiah, it’s essentia...

Some things just have to be shared! We just can’t keep quiet about it! The excitement can’t be contained! That’s what happens when a life is changed. That’s what happens when someone meets Jesus. That’s the natural response and instinct to a transformational moment. Some things are worth sharing and the greatest thing to share is Jesus—Simply Jesus!

There are many pivotal moments in history, but they all pale in comparison to the great moment—the birth of Jesus. That moment brought light out of darkness, hope out of despair, and life out of death. Nothing has impacted the entire human race more than the entrance that Jesus made into our world. One moment, one divine moment, transformed reality for every individual. That’s why understanding wh...

As we head into “The Most Wonderful Time of the Year,” we could easily replace the word wonderful with words like busy, cluttered, full, or overwhelming. Christmas is meant to serve as a rhythmic reminder of the amazing moment when Jesus, God in flesh, entered the scene. Are we creating the space in our lives to welcome Jesus into this holiday, and more importantly, to let Him be the central focus...

As Jesus continued on toward Jerusalem, He reached the border between Galilee and Samaria. As He entered a village there, ten men with leprosy stood at a distance, crying out, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!” He looked at them and said, “Go show yourselves to the priests.” And as they went, they were cleansed of their leprosy. One of them, when he saw that he was healed, came back to Jesus, shou...

It’s loaded with promises. It’s one of the easiest books of the Bible to read. It’s a great pick-me-up when hard times come our way. It’s the book of Philippians. It’s a simple challenge written by a hard-charging warrior living under difficult circumstances. Its message is clear. Amidst nonsense, God makes sense. Through times of pain, we can be filled with praise. God’s Spirit not only gives us...
