God is Our Source

Generosity and Worship

Announcing Our Next Study
We were not made to live our lives alone. Never in the history of the world has a generation of people been more “connected” than our current generation, and yet so many of us feel more alone than ever. Whether we are single or married, young or old,...
The Lion and the Lamb
In the psychological world, I learned that one’s beliefs and cognitions influence behavior. I have found this theory and sentiment to be very true in my own life. For example, when I believe that I am a burden and that people do not care what I have to say, I...
More Than Enough
When was the last time you were surprised by Jesus? This thought-provoking question came up recently in our home group Bible study and prompted us to consider that, perhaps, even subconsciously, we have limited God to what we think He can do, how He will...

At His Feet
“Now it was during this time that Jesus went out to the mountain to pray, and he spent all night in prayer to God.” – Luke 6:12 I love Jesus, and His humanity while on earth makes me love Him all the more. He was fully God and fully human. And these facts...
Who Can?

Transformed
Have you ever been given a nickname? Nicknames can be given due to something you have done, the way you look, your surname, or to distinguish you from others with the same name. John is often referred to as John the Baptist. This helps us to distinguish him from other...

Praying for Yourself
I don’t know about you, but I often find it easier to pray for others than it is to pray for myself. I’ll be in conversation with a friend and they’ll share about an issue with their kid or a sick relative, and I don’t have a problem storming the gates of heaven to...

Prayers for Our Friends
To be known and loved by people is vital in this world. But, to pray for them or to be prayed for by them, that’s a hint of Heaven. How do we help our friends? We write cards, send flowers, and bake casseroles in times of need. We help them move furniture (clearly an...

Even If… It started with my husband having ‘allergies.’ Then my ‘allergies’ kicked in. Then our son, who doesn’t have allergies. We knew at that point it had hit us: COVID. Quickly, that escalated to a trip to the Emergency Room and a promise of an infusion to fight...

Entering God’s Presence with Praise
Several years ago, I spent a 40-minute drive to my parents’ house instructing my American fiancé how to properly greet his Cuban soon-to-be father-in-law. I explained that my family kissed on the cheek, rather than just shaking hands. We forgo all the formality and...
