Don't Forget Your Jewelry! ~ Elizabeth Eaton

When the Bible speaks of the putting on of our clothing and ornaments (jewelry), the word often used is “adorn” or “adorning” which also has the meaning of “adding beauty by dress or external ornaments; to embellish; to set off to advantage” or “to make more pleasing.” While we should certainly strive to be attractive, appropriate, and modest outwardly, the majority of our time and focus should be on the adorning of our inner lady. 1 Peter 3:3-4 Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning…but let it be the hidden man of the heart. So, how do we adorn, or embellish, our hidden man (lady) of the heart? What ornaments, or jewelry,

Work With Me Here ~ Suzanne Dunn

God wants you to do a work for Him! Have you heard something similar before? I understand the point one is attempting to make when he makes a similar statement. I, too, have asserted that God needs surrendered servants to with for Him. Although, there is no misunderstanding in the statement, and I agree with the statement, in truth, God does not need us to work for Him. He wants us to work with Him.

Praising and Thanking God ~ Donna Ellard

Praise is based on the character of God that does not change, Therefore, our praise to God should not change. Malachi 3:6 states, “For I am the Lord, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.” Hebrews 13:8 says, “Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and for ever.” Because God is who He is in His person and character, we are to praise Him. If we are happy, sad, sick, healthy, rich, poor, on the mountain top or in the valley we are commanded to praise God! Praise is not necessarily based on what God has done, but on who God is. Psalms 150

SCRABBLE ~ Laura Doss

God communicates to us through His Word..the Bible. Imagine not having the precious Words of God. We talk to God using WORDS…Prayer.

Strength for the Weary ~ Sandy Domelle

So often, we can let ourselves become weary because we are so focused on all that is going

on in our lives that we get sidetracked by the Devil. Some things that cause us to become

weary are health issues, financial struggles, family drama, and sometimes, it's just plain old

life getting the best of us. I believe the Devil uses this tactic on us so that we don't

accomplish all we need to do. When we are weary, we tend to complain and become a little

self-centered because of how it aﬀects us.

Smiling Through Trials - Amy Sapp

Ladies, the trials of this life are temporary, but the JOY of eternity is forever. Revelation 21:4 promises, “And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain.” When we focus on the eternal joy that awaits us, we can endure anything with a smile.

Joy ~ Theresa Del Rio

As we know, true Joy is not seasonal or situational. It doesn’t arrive with the lighting of the tree or Amazon Prime and then somehow disappears like the last Christmas cookie.

Reach for His Hand - Melody Decker

God’s Word has placed in my mind this beautiful picture of my Heavenly Father always standing at my right side with his left hand opened and waiting for me to take hold in absolute trust and confidence while He battles for me with the might of His right hand.

Lord, Move Me Closer - Amy Sapp

I’ve always admired shepherds... you know, those patient, calm people with a staff and a soft voice who lead sheep so sweetly… and then I remember I can’t even lead my dog to his bed without snacks and promises!

Thanksgiving is Amazing - Christi Davis

Several years ago, Bro. Dan Martin made a statement that has stayed with me to this day. He said, “What if we woke up tomorrow with only the things we were thankful for today?”

Digging Wells for the Next Generation - Amy Sapp

Psalm 84 is a psalm of longing for the presence of God and the blessings that come from dwelling in His house. Within these verses, we find a powerful metaphor about making wells in dry places—a calling for us to create life-sustaining resources not just for ourselves, but for those coming behind us. Today, we will explore how we can live in such a way that we leave spiritual “wells” for others.

Praying Hands - Amy Sapp

Have you ever looked at your hands and wondered what impact they could make in the world? Not just when they hold a baby, stir the soup, or wipe a tear, but when they are folded in prayer.

What Truly Deserves Praise - Amy Sapp

Think of someone who “says all the right things” but lives a very different life behind closed doors. We all know or know of someone like that. Or maybe more than one "someone's".

Grace Notes - Charlotte Cooper

n other words, extra notes are added to make the music feel fuller and more beautiful. Classical music is especially known for these “grace notes.” Some might hear them and think they’re mistakes — extra notes played before the “right” one. But they are not mistakes. They are planned, perfected, and placed at just the right time.

What Are You Holding On To? ~ Joy Comer

Don’t let whatever you are holding on to take away your peace, your health, your friendships, your victory and take you farther away from the Father.

"Don't Forget Jesus" - Ashley Carlisle

As we were traveling back from a Youth Conference in Tennessee, I looked out my window and saw a sign posted on a tree that said, “Don’t forget Jesus.” When I saw that sign, I thought to myself how many times do I forget about Jesus. Jeremiah 2:32 says, “Can a maid forget her ornaments, or a bride her attire?

Expectations - Terri Cannon

Have you ever planned to talk to someone and in your mind, you plan out how the whole conversation is going to go? I’m going to say this and then they’re going to say that, and then I’ll come back with the other thing and on it goes. Then you get into the conversation and the other person goes completely off-script and you can’t understand what happened! That was not the way it was supposed to go! The conversation didn’t meet your expectations.

Loving the Unlovely - Amy Sapp

WE are called to love as Christ loves, and this often means stepping outside our comfort zones. Luke 6:32 reminds us: “For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for sinners also love those that love them.” The true test of our faith is how we love those who may not love us back, who may challenge our patience, or who may even wrong us or may have already wronged us.

Rejoicing in His Resurrection! - Wendy Burks

Did you sing this song yesterday? I am sure that you, like me, are still rejoicing in His resurrection following yesterday’s services, congregational singing, special music, and all the emphasis that was given to Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection. It is, after all, what the Gospel is all about!
