Good afternoon, everyone,

Each day we are faced with challenges. God has supplied us with what is needed to withstand struggles that life may present. Putting on the FULL ARMOR OF GOD is having faith HE will be with us.

We have been discussing the Armor of God in bible study each morning. What it means, how to put it on and how it is relevant in our daily lives. Alone we cannot withstand overwhelming odds but with God we can and we will overcome the schemes of the devil.

Good afternoon, everyone,

Jesus told His disciples "In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”

As many of us are facing troubles daily or have lived through painful moments, we can have faith that God is here for us. We must choose to believe in His promises, DAILY.

Jesus remained obedient until the very end. He experienced human anguish as we do. He did not need to learn obedience because He had previously been disobedient. Rather, through suffering, He experienced and demonstrated obedience in the fullest possible way. He willingly submitted to the Father even when obedience meant suffering and death.

Today let us choose to trust God through painful circumstances.

Good afternoon, everyone,

Good afternoon, everyone,

For the last couple of weeks in bible study, we have been discussing forgiveness and what that means biblically. Especially how our Father in heaven has forgiven us time and time again. He calls on us to do the same for others as well as ourselves as hard as it may be

Whatever bo***ge you are feeling this week, take what has been weighing you down and lay it at His feet. His mercy and grace is sufficient!

We would like to thank everyone who stops into our centers and leaves prayer requests as well as sharing how good God has been to them. It fills our heart with joy that so many in our community trust us with these requests. We keep each of you in prayer each day. May the Lord direct you and comfort you. You are not alone. Trust in His timing.
