We all face situations in life that bring ongoing stress, frustration and turmoil into our lives.  We desperately long to be free of it, but instead, we need to learn how to find rest and peace while dealing with it.  Let’s look more deeply at how to find true rest!  Matthew 11: 28 – 30…

We live in a world where so much of our value is attached to our performance.  From the moment we take our first breath, we are measured by our performance.  We’re measured by how quickly we reach our developmental milestones.  Then we are measured by our performance at school, our career path.  And sadly, how…

Have you ever just felt overwhelmed by all the things you need to do? Sometimes it can feel like we have more pulling at us than we can manage. Other times we make progress but at a snails pace.  Consequently, this just leaves us feeling frustrated, stressed and ultimately discouraged.  In times like these, it’s…

Redemption is one of the foundational truths of our faith.  And what an incredible truth it is! To think that we were once lost in darkness as slaves to sin.  But because of Jesus and what He did for us on the cross, we are no longer slaves to sin!  Romans 6:17-18 says, “But thanks…

One of the most incredible promises we have from God is that He is always with us.  He promises us that He will never forsake us (Hebrews 13:5).  This should fill us with so much comfort and hope. No matter what we face in life, we have God’s incredible presence! Exodus 33:14 says, “The Lord…

As Christians, we know that we are engaged in a spiritual war against the Devil.  This is because when we were born again, God transferred us from the kingdom of darkness to His Kingdom of light.  As a result, we are now enemies of the Devil.  But, we have the incredible promise and assurance that…

We live in a world that tells us to put ourselves first. We’re encouraged to focus on our own wants and desires. Yet, when we listen to God’s voice, we hear a completely different message. It’s all about living a life surrendered to God. Luke 6:46 says, “Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and…

One of the most amazing truths of our faith is that our God is a personal God.  He loves us deeply. He knows us completely.  Every part of our lives is important to Him and we can entrust everything that touches our lives to Him.  What a joy to know that he knows my name!…

When we become Christians, we start a brand new life in Christ. And it’s important to realise that God has given each one of us a purpose.  There are good works that He has prepared for us to do.  The key to this, however, is to realise that we must rely on God!  Ephesians 2:10…
