FEAR NOT

WHEN WORRY HITS…

“My daughter Katie just received her fifth college acceptance from the University of the South, the most prestigious school she’s been admitted to so far.

Every parent probably has a story of a door opening for their child that made them proud, but Katie’s story is a little different than most.

At the age of four, after an otherwise healthy childhood, Katie had her first epileptic seizure. Then another one. Then they began hitting her in clusters that her little body just couldn’t keep up with.

And they wouldn’t stop…”

TRAIN FOR YOUR DESTINY

WHEN A NEW YEAR DAWNS…

“New year, new me.

Sounds great on the surface.

But sometimes the weight of past disappointments can offset the hopeful impact built on the thin foundation of a single calendar date. Especially those of us who had our hopes up in New Year 2020.

But what if you had a hope built on the firmest foundation imaginable?”

“Sometimes trusting God is easy.

But there are other times when it’s much harder to trust him, or even find him.

Times when the trials and threats of the world sideline not only our circumstances but our sense of inner security and peace.

INTO 2022

WHEN IT LOOKS LIKE THE SAME WILDERNESS…

“We’ve all seen the memes by now: 2020 was a trilogy.

And after a difficult duo, it’s hard to have much hope for another pandemic year.

At this stage, the only truly positive outcome would involve a magical way out. But, rapture beliefs aside, magic is one of the last things anyone is counting on this year.

Yet those in the family of Christ believe in a power much stronger than magic, and that is where our true hope for 2022 lies…”
