Encouragement


We all live with fear. It hangs around, whispering in our ears, reminding us of all we can't do or will never be. But that's not the end of the story. We also have a God who draws close to say, Fear not. I am with you. This Spirit transforms us into fear fighters. Get started on your journey to being a fear fighter in this new year.

Fear Fighting In The New Year

Have you lost your sense of accomplishment or momentum in life? Learn to re-sharpen your “edge” so you can live a life full of God’s power, purpose, and presence. Pastor Bayless Conley helps you figure out exactly where you lost your edge, and how to get it back. God can restore a hunger and zeal for His Word and calling that might otherwise be hopelessly lost. So be restored today!

Regain Your Cutting Edge

Life is mysterious and cryptic, especially in times of suffering and distress. Although we may wonder where God is, the Scriptures wink to show us His redemptive activity unfolding in our lives. Rev. Chris Palmer takes you through familiar New Testament stories and points out unfamiliar features that have the effect of a punchline. When the Scriptures wink, you’ll be surprised, delighted, and challenged not to give up hope.

Have you felt like you needed a hug of encouragement lately? Well this Reading Plan is for you! St. Paul wrote this letter to Timothy to encourage him in his many responsibilities. The letter lays the foundation for making wise decisions in every step of life.

Prayers From 1 Timothy

Fear is NOT your friend.  Fear invites all types of EVIL into your life.  Ask Job (Job 3:25). It’s NOT your Father’s plan for you. Meditating or thinking about the truths in God’s word will dislodge and dissolve fear-filled thoughts -replacing them with new thoughts and reality of FREEDOM, SAFETY, and SECURITY.  Nope – we’re not making this up. That’s what our Lord Jesus says in John 15:7. 

Freedom From Fear, Part 1

Educators taught you so much more than the 3 R’s of reading, ‘riting and ‘rithmetic.  The values at the core of your character may reflect the lessons you learned from educators—teachers, coaches, mentors, and parents—who were rooted in God’s Word.
