Why Pray to A God Who Already Has Plans for Us? Part 2

The other day, I talked a little about prayer making a difference in our lives, and how God helps us by either responding or leaving some of those prayers unanswered.

Does Praying Make A Difference? Part 1

A friend of my mom’s had gone to the ER a few days earlier after having some chest pain, and they immediately admitted her. […]

Asking You: How Do We Stay Off the Benches?

I’ve mentioned before that my small group at church is studying Frances Chan’s “Forgotten God” series and I usually walk away from it with a lot to think about. That being said, be prepared for me to share some of my thoughts on this series each month and for me to ask for your feedback. […]
