★Building Healthy Leaders

It’s no secret that no one improves by accident and nothing drifts towards excellence! It’s also no secret that no one in ministry is healthy by chance.

Living Worry Free – Matthew 6:25-34

How is it possible to enjoy the journey and not be anxious in your heart and mind? Jesus gives the answer in Matthew 6. What does Jesus say that changes our perspective? He tells us to look at the birds, look at yourself, look at the lilies and look at the heathen. Blessed reading as…

Toiling In Rowing – Mark 6:45-52

There is not one among us who hasn’t found themselves at some time “toiling in rowing”. The Greek word for “toiling” means “baffled”.

The Vineyard of the Soul – Song of Solomon 1:1-16

I love how Solomon writes about the “beloved”. I love the fact that Jesus wants to spend time with us in prayer. And yet, we must be ever on guard to protect the vineyard of our heart. Why?

Victory Secured – Exodus 17:8-16

No one has all the answers about how prayer works. No one can explain all the “ins” and “outs” about how Moses’ hands (raised in intercession) brought about divine intervention. But this we do know; prayer is alignment with God and positions us to receive from Him. Discover how the Israelites, after murmuring and tempting the…

Sacred Fire – Leviticus 6:8-13

Leviticus teaches us incredible truth about worship; how God supernaturally started the fire at the altar before the tabernacle and how the priests must tend to the fire (so it will never go out).

Condemnation Gone For Good – Romans 5:12-21
