Philippians 3:13-14 Many of us find ourselves stuck in the mud, unable to move forward because of our past. Guilt, shame, past sins, and hurts weigh us down, making progress seem impossible. Yet Paul's life stands as a testament to the transformative power of Christ. Once the greatest persecutor of Christians, Paul experienced the freedom… Continue reading July 23rd – Philippians 3:14-14

November 14th – 1 Corinthians 16:13
1 Corinthians 16:13 Football season is in full force. And as a Michigander, I have to say the Detroit Lions with their first place standing in the NFC North, is a rare happening that has fans cheering.

Acts 5:41 When the Council of Pharisees and the chief priests had Peter and the apostles beaten for spreading the message of Jesus, you’d think they would have stopped preaching. But instead, bloodied and bruised, they rejoiced for being worthy of suffering for the Lord. As Christians we risk persecution and even physical safety for… Continue reading August 29th – Acts 5:41
