I think that we sometimes underscore the difficulty of Moses’ early life. He was spared by the grace of God and the courage of his family. Taken as a grandson of Pharoah but also taught that he was a Hebrew, a child of God. It seems as if Moses had no real place of fitting...

Pray to Build
Nehemiah was given an awesome task, to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem. At every turn he was met with difficulty, with doubt and with opposition. Nehemiah teaches us a very valuable lesson; he met every difficulty with prayer. Before he went to the king with the burden of his heart he prayed. Before he proposed...
Transitions
Transitions are often difficult. We spend time praying and even dreaming about the next open door but we often give little thought to the closed door that will precede it. In Revelation 3 Jesus declared that He holds the “key of David” which has all power not merely in the opening of doors but the...
Submit to Trust
Many of us have heard the word submit and immediately turned on our defenses. For some reason submission has become one of those concepts that we equate with weakness. Submission is not at all about one more powerful dominating a weaker vessel. The truth of submission is found in relationship, in trust and in love....
Courage
There are times in our lives in which courage must be added to our faith to give us the strength to take steps of obedience. Jarius was moved by the desperation of his dying daughter. He moved in faith and in courage, believing that Jesus was able to heal was not enough, he had to...
What Are You Looking At?
The author of Hebrews tells us to “look to Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our faith.” Where we set our gaze is very important to measuring the outcome of our given situation. I believe that we reap from where we set our attention. If our attention is set our circumstances, on our difficulties, on...
Strong Joy
As Jerusalem gathered to hear the book of the Law read after they had rebuilt their walls an amazing thing happened, they realized that they fell short of the Law that was being read and they fell on their faces and began to weep and mourn. At that moment, Nehemiah, Ezra and the Levites ran...
Jesus is the Plumb Line
In Amos 7 God gave the prophet a vision of His coming judgment upon Israel. It was a fearful thing to know that God was about to intervene and do whatever was necessary to make His people return to Him and to their calling as a nation of priests. Today God continues to hold a...
According to . . .
We apologize, due to a slight glitch in recording the audio will not start until about the 30 second point. In Psalm 103:10 David wrote, “He has not dealt with us according to our sins, Nor punished us according to our iniquities.” As a sinner, David must have been overwhelmed by this revelation, I know...
Stay in the Way
In Deuteronomy 30:11-16 Moses sums up the law and His entire ministry as leader with three seemingly simple points, Love God, walk in His ways and keep His commands. These three callings are not separate but are very connected. It is very difficult to consider walking in the ways or paths that God sets us...
