Saturday // Build :: Kingdom

Tuesday // Fuel :: Prayer
Title: Flowing Conversation with God. Pray continually… – 1 Thessalonians 5:17 Pray continually? What does that really mean? For a long time, I wasn’t sure.

Sunday // Sacrifice :: Exalt
Title: Humble serve “Those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.” Matthew 23:12 Jesus said, “Everything they do is done for people to see,” when talking about the religious leaders. It’s easy to fall into this mindset, and I have to admit, it feels good to be noticed. […]
Saturday // Build :: Encouragement
Title: It’s called today Encourage one another daily, as long as it is called today. – Hebrews 3:13a God has promised us blessings, but we should not let stubbornness, sin, or a lack of faith take that away from us. Just as the Israelites lost faith during their forty years in the desert, we can […]
