Join Pastor Steve on the topic of Jehovah Rapha, the God Who Heals!!

God can do more than the difficult. He is God of the Impossible! On this day that we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus, we look at how he can do the same in our lives as well! Jairus’ daughter wasn’t just ill. She was dead. She was, so the crowd thought, beyond hope. The hope Christ brings is more than a wonderful hope or even a great hope. It is a Miraculous Hope! On this Easter Sunday, we’ll s...

This week we finish the conversation on the name El Shaddai.

This week we will continue our "Names of God" series with the name Jehovah Rafa.

Zacchaeus had it all—money, power, and possessions. For all he had, he was empty. He knew there was something more. Then, one day, he found it. Jesus was the “more” that Zacchaeus was seeking! Jesus gave him peace. Jesus helped him find forgiveness, healing, and wholeness. Jesus gave Zacchaeus the hope that had been eluding him–the hope of contentment, the hope of satisfaction, the hope that his l...

The possessed man reminds me of so many people I know bound by addictions. They are alone. They are tortured. They are possessed by demons they can’t seem to shake. They are out of their minds, but Jesus is stronger than any demon. He is stronger than any chain that shackles you. Even though you may feel that you are condemned to a life imprisoned by the things that bind you, you are not. Jesus co...

This week, we continue our series "Names of God" by talking about the name, El Shaddai.

Have you ever feel like an outcast? The leper in our story did. The community ostracized him. He was separated, perhaps even abandoned by his family. Yes, his body needed healing, but his heart needed healing just as badly! For all of you who are looking for a God who can restore your broken relationships and mend your broken heart, this leper is your Face of Hope! That same Jesus has Restoring Ho...

This week is the fourth lesson in our series "Name of God." We are going to finish the discussion we began last week of God as our Father.

There’s no such thing as “too far gone.” No one is beyond hope. Two thieves died beside Jesus. One decided to die in his sin. With some of his last breaths of life, the other cried out to Jesus for mercy, and He found it. Our God has a grace that is big enough to redeem ANYONE from ANYTHING, no matter how long they’ve been there. God has Redeeming Hope for YOU!

This week in our series "Names of God," we talk about the name Father. God is our Father.

Have you ever felt desperate? The woman in our story was. She tried everything. She spent all she had. She was out of options. She only had one last hope: Jesus! In Jesus, she found the desperate hope she needed, and so can we! This message will remind us that Jesus is the answer when there are no answers. HE is our Desperate Hope!

This week, we continue our topic "The Names of God."

This passage reminds us to “walk in obedience to Him.” God has a path for us. He makes that path clear in His Word. But often, like little children, we will wander off that path. Sometimes we’re not trying to be disobedient; we just get distracted. But if we don’t get back to His path quickly, we find ourselves lost or get ourselves hurt. This message will look at why God has an appointed path and...

Paul tells us to “walk in the way of love.” If you’ve ever been to a crowded city, you know what it’s like to get knocked around on the sidewalk. Many people are fixed on their destination, and they don’t care whom they knock over! Paul reminds us that it should not be that way with us. God calls us to walk in love, and that’s true no matter WHO we run into on the journey!

This week, Pastor Steve begins a new series on the Names of God.

The first temptation was to “be like God.” Many of us have been trying to be God ever since! This message will look at what it means to walk “humbly” with God, how to let Him lead, how to let Him choose, and how to acknowledge that we don’t know the path nearly as well as He does. When pride takes over, we fall. To walk humbly means being wise enough to hold onto our Father’s hand.

This week, Pastor Steve concludes the series "7 Steps to a New You!"

Walking can be frightening sometimes. We walk in dark places. We walk in unfamiliar neighborhoods. We walk at times when there is danger all around us. Those are the times when we remember that we don’t walk by ourselves. God walks with us! He will guide us. He will protect us. He will see us through. Even in the darkest, deepest valleys, we don’t have to be afraid.

This week, Pastor Steve continues "7 Steps to a New You!"

Pastor Steve continues his series, "7 Steps to a New You."

Today, Pastor Steve resumes his Live Devotional, Straight from the Heart! What are you looking to be different in 2021?

God is clear in His Word that we shouldn’t walk alone. However, we have to be careful with who we choose to share the path with. Sometimes we find ourselves with those who would lead us astray. Other times we find ourselves with those whose influence is causing us to become someone other than who we want to be. Walking with the RIGHT people takes you further and faster than you ever could by yours...

Jesus Himself is the path for our walk with God. Whenever He called His Disciples, He told them to “follow” Him. That’s our task too. This message will look at how we are to keep our eyes on Jesus and not on other people or other things. Jesus is our model. Like children following their father in the snow, we are to walk “in His steps.”

The Psalmist gives us a powerful challenge: to walk as we should in our own home! Our home may be the place where we “let our hair down,” but it shouldn’t be the place where we let our walk with God down. We are to show the character of Christ to our families FIRST. This message will look at how the home is where God wants our walk with Him to start and be the strongest. Our homes are God’s greate...
