The Sacrament of Praise
A sacrament is a material element commanded by God through which the divine presence enters into our lives. Baptism, communion, anointing with oil, and foot washing are biblical examples. You can also talk about the sacrament of Bible reading or preaching. In this short devotional, I want to encourage my hearers to practice the sacrament of praise.
Weeds in the Garden
It requires effort to grow a beautiful flower garden, but weeds grow on their own. Your life is God's garden. He wants to grow the virtues of the kingdom in you.
Jesus, Hold My Hand
Jesus tells us that he wants to yoke himself to us so we don't have to pull our load by ourselves. Like a mother who holds the hand of a child, he will lead us through this life. We can trust him.
God has a Plan
If God has numbered the hairs of your head, you can trust him to care for your needs.
In the Garden
Everyone has a moment in their life when they have to make an enormously difficult decision. In those moments, we may feel like we are up against a closed door. Yet, when we say, "Thy will not mine be done," we find the way to open the door and go through it.
Are You Prepared?
When Jesus comes, he wants us to be ready for him. In 1 John 2:28, to be confident and unashamed at his coming, we must abide in him. What does that mean?
When I'm Weak, I'm Most Strong
Human nature wants to minimize the difficult times in life. However, God allows us to go through suffering so he can reveal himself to us and teach us to trust him.
Let Them Come
People matter to God. When the church erects barriers that keep people away, Jesus breaks down those barriers because he wants everyone to have free access to him.

God Wins
The story between Elijah and Ahab shows divine conflict. In the end, God beats Ba'al and shows the Israelites that he is superior. Thus, he calls them back to himself. This is a spiritual warfare theme.
