South Tacoma Assembly of God

I’m tired has at least two perspectives: depletion of energy or an attitude of frustration, annoyance, or disappointment. It's okay to be tired, but our attitudes should still be in alignment with what God says is our portion.

A mother's love mirrors the love of Christ. The key aspects of a mother's love are what we see that Jesus did for us on the cross, and what He empowers us to live out everyday. For every mother, and every believer, the choice is ours to reflect to others the way that Christ has loved us.

God's provision is attractive and something we all want, but with provision comes trust, responsibilities, tribulation, and salvation. God's seasons allow us to learn, and they create a hunger and thirst for the salvation of the Lord. Whatever you are going through, hold on. Trust the process of God for your life and know that He Who began a good work is faithful to complete it.

Easter is over and many will return to their lives because the celebration is over. But, the celebration is ongoing and a new beginning has taken its place in many lives. The resurrection was and is about a love relationship with the Father of heaven through His son. Through that relationship, we learn to love others.

The finished work on the cross is now the completed work for a new beginning. We get to choose how we celebrate our risen Savior, not just on Resurrection Sunday, but every day. When we look at what He did for us, the question then becomes what can we do for Him.

For believers, Palm Sunday is a reminder of the welcoming of Jesus into our hearts and of our willingness to follow Him. That invitation is not just a one-time thing at salvation, but a continual one that invites the power of His resurrection into our lives every day.

When we understand that we serve a God Who delivers, sustains, and provides, our expectation of what He will do can take the feelings of brokenness and despair and replace it with hope. In this season of the celebration of Jesus' resurrection, the understanding of our covenant authority not only helps to bring healing to us, but also stand in agreement with Him for the provision He desires for oth...

It is important for us to maintain a healthy perspective on the new beginning that God has provided for us. The primary way to keep our perspectives right is to make sure we are connected to God, Who will forever be the Source of provision. When we remain connected to Provision, our expectations and beliefs about our tomorrow become rooted in Him.

There are both healthy connections and unhealthy connections, good connections and bad connections. A connection alone can provide so much if we would understand who and what we are connected to. Our expectation can either fuel our connection with God, or cause us to shrink back, afraid of being disappointed. If we allow our expectation of God to shepherd our connection with Him, we are divinely c...

We are all linked to something or someone - whether that connection is good, bad, or indifferent. A connection alone can provide so much if we would understand who and what we are connected to. There is an earthly connection governed by the natural senses and there is a heavenly connection governed by the supernatural. We are connected to both.

Like never before, it is important that we add commitment to this season of provision. Lives are connected to our commitment to pursue God's purpose for our lives. It is up to us to stay committed, even when it is inconvenient.

Sometimes we say things that don’t make any sense, yet we want the listener to understand and reply. In the midst of the conversation, we are often not ready for the answer that we will receive. The right balance is important to effective and meaningful communication.
