Why do we need to be seen? Why do we long for a God who sees us? And what difference does that make to us? The story of Hagar found in Genesis 16 – the loneliest and most unseen any person has ever felt.  What can the church do for the community: help us deal with loneliness.

From Proverbs 3:25-26; Luke 11:27-28 considering Mary as a courageous woman, a model of courageous obedience to God. There were many reasons for Mary to have fear (Matt 1:18-25) but she chose to put her confidence in God’s promises and make his work her priority. Evil is real but grace always wins.

From Isaiah 49:15-16; Matt 2:13-15; Luke 2:14-20, and 39-52 we consider Mary’s role as a mother. A mother’s tough tenderness is a reflection of God himself. Mary’s willingness to be with Jesus so that he could be with us. God’s sovereignty. Living for Jesus is recognizing that God’s treasures are wrapped in humility.

Mary is unlike any other person in the Scriptures, especially when talking about the virgin birth of Jesus, but she is also like others in the Scriptures. She is there to do one thing ultimately, and that is to reveal something about Jesus, to be a willing vessel God can use for his great kingdom purpose in the world.  Visit  ⁠⁠⁠southplains.org⁠⁠⁠  to request prayer and to stay up to date, or join...

Marriage is for God and from God. Committed marriages require patience and honor. Marriage is NOT based on self-fulfillment but on self-denial. Stop looking for a soul-mate when who you really need is a Savior.  Visit  ⁠southplains.org⁠  to request prayer and to stay up to date, or join our  ⁠Facebook Group⁠ .

God works in all things, so says Paul in Romans 8:28. All things are everyday life things, every person things, so ordinary people. The third chapter is the climax in many ways. In it three themes emerge: commitment, redemption and wisdom. Visit  southplains.org  to request prayer and to stay up to date, or join our  Facebook Group .

Satan was busily seeking throughout the Old Testament to destroy anyone who could potentially be the Messiah. And in the New, Satan works hard to lure Jesus away, thus the personal temptations, because you can’t absolutely trust God: Serve yourself, Receiving is better, and prove yourself. Satan was even working in Peter to get in the way of God’s plan of salvation. Visit  southplains.org  to requ...

We don’t want to obsess over the enemy, but we do want to be aware of him. Satan is intelligent, but he is unwise; strategic, but flawed. He is powerful but defeated. Those who follow Jesus are people of light, and light always overpowers darkness. Don’t live in fear. Don’t be deceived. Live for Jesus, stand on his Good News. He is stronger.

The spiritual struggle is the basis for all conflict in the physical world. To be equipped for the unseen struggle puts us in a better position for the seen struggles. This is what Paul points to in Ephesians 6; we are to be strengthened by the mighty power of God, to stand against the strategies of the enemy. What does this armor have to do with being part of the movement of light Jesus started?...
