Peace I Leave With You

It’s no secret that we’re all living in an incredibly unsettling time. What should we do about that? What can we do about that? I suggest we listen to the words of Jesus where He offers us peace that can only be found in Him.

Lean into Jesus this week, Church! Read your Bible to hear His words of peace. Pray and seek Jesus. He promises that He will give us peace — unlike anything the world has to offer.

Still, Small Voice — A Devotional for The Rock Kids

A Special Devotional with Steele

Hi parents! I am excited to share this special video with you and your children. This is the story of how God met Elijah. It wasn’t in a fire, strong wind or earthquake. God met him in a still, small voice.

We understand being cooped up in the house can be a little difficult for all of us. Hopefully, this video will help you use some of this time by giving you an opportunity to talk with your kids about God. Remember, Jesus loves you — He loves you SO much! And He is close to you.

Fully Prepared, Kept Safe and Cared For + News

As Christians, we shouldn’t be living in fear. We should be living to glorify Christ — especially now. Most of those around us are crippled with the fear of needing to be fully prepared. We know that apart from God, there will never be enough to sustain us. 

Only in Jesus can we be fully prepared, kept safe and cared for. NOTHING will be able to separate us from the love of God, in Christ Jesus, our Lord.

Tele-churching

Hello, Church ~

Unprecedented times we are living in. CDC recommendations regarding no large gatherings and talk of quarantines and travel restrictions. There is much wisdom in following these recommendations. With that said, how do we as Christians, continue to obey Hebrews 10:23-25?

The Lord is the Stronghold of My Life

If you are anything like me, you know fear can find a way to rear its ugly head in our lives. Whenever we find ourselves in that place, we must remember to turn from our fear and turn to our Good Father. He cares for us. He is the stronghold in our lives.

Freedom From the Fear of Death + What’s Happening

It’s easy to see all that is happening in our world and be fearful. But, our hope is in God. Our Lord has given us freedom. 

Christian, we don’t have to fear. Jesus has the power to set free all who have lived their lives as slaves to the fear of dying. We have the opportunity to live out that freedom, right now.

We Should Pray

How do we, as Christians, find peace during this current Coronavirus crisis? First and foremost, we should pray. Praying is the antidote to our fear.

Paul gives us some timely advice in Philippians 4:6-7 which will help us guard our hearts and minds with the peace of God — a peace that surpasses all understanding.

Be in Faith

Hello, Church!

It’s obvious we are entering into uncharted territory and many people are confused and fearful of the future. That is understandable. But, let’s make sure we put our trust in God and direct our fears to Jesus. I love what it says in 2 Timothy 1:7, “God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love and a sound mind.” Amen!
