Passage: Galatians 6:1-10 Key Verse: “Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap.” (v.7 – NASB) My parents and I were reminiscing about my childhood this past week. We talked about the numerous activities that my siblings and I were involved in besides school.

Lessons from the Grand Canyon
Passage: Joshua 1:1-9Key Verse:“Be strong and courageous! Do not tremble or be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” (V.9) I had heard of Nik Wallenda’s feats, but had never stopped to actually watch the man before. Until two weeks ago. We all gathered in front of the TV and held our breath for 22 minutes and 54 seconds, as Nick crossed the Grand Canyon balancing on a 1,400 foot wire that Sunday. It was indeed an amazing sight, one that I will not easily forget. And Continue Reading

Matthew 28:5-6 says: The angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid. I know who you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here, He is Risen, just as he said he would!!! Come and see the place where He was lying!” That verse that I wrote above is the reason why we celebrate Easter. To celebrate that Jesus is not dead, but He is surely alive! Jesus died and rose again to save us from our sins. We know that He was risen because of two reasons: 1) The Bible tells us that He rose (and Continue Reading
What’s the Reason You Serve?
Passage: Matthew 6:1-21 “Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.” (v.1) “Humility is the mother of all virtues; purity, charity and obedience. It is in being humble that our love becomes real, devoted and ardent. If you are humble nothing will touch you, neither praise nor disgrace, because you know what you are. If you are blamed you will not be discouraged. If they call you a saint you Continue Reading
