JUST SHOW UP! 

JUST SHOW UP! “But now you yourselves are to put off all these: anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy language out of your mouth. Do not lie to one another, for you have stripped off the old unregenerate self with its evil practices.” Colossians 3:8-9 No matter what anyone says, just show up and do […]

You are not alone.

You are not alone. Do you know who else found themselves in daunting circumstances? Noah, in the ark, as the entire world was engulfed by the great flood… David, standing before the menacing Goliath, with the fate of Israel on his shoulders… Moses and the children of Israel, trapped between the Red Sea before […]

Message for January 28. 2024 from Pastor Shirley

Let God do the heavy lifting. Cast your burden on the Lord [releasing the weight of it] and He will sustain you; He will never allow the [consistently] righteous to be moved (made to slip, fall, or fail). Psalm 55:22 I never watched the movie that came out in 2015 called “The War Room”. […]

Romans 8:38-39

ROMANS 8:38-39 PASSION TRANSLATION So now I live with the confidence that there is nothing in the universe with the power to separate us from God’s love. I’m convinced that his love will triumph over death, life’s troubles, fallen angels, or dark rulers in the heavens. There is nothing in our present or future […]

FOR I AM GOD For when used in a sentence is to talk about a purpose or a reason for something. There is a reason and a purpose for God to be called I AM. And it is for our greatest benefit as believers to understand the meaning of “I Am God”! We read […]

Why Your Past Doesn’t Matter to God

Why Your Past Doesn’t Matter to God One of the great truths revealed in the story of the Prodigal Son is that the gospel is not about our past but our present and future. The happiest person at the party wasn’t the newly restored and forgiven son but his father. The critical, fault finding […]

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation, old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.

1st  Corinthians 13  (Christmas version)

1st Corinthians 13 (Christmas version) If I decorate my house perfectly with plaid bows, strands of twinkling lights and shiny balls, but do not show love to my family, I’m just another decorator. If I slave away in the kitchen, baking dozens of Christmas cookies, preparing gourmet meals and arranging a beautifully adorned table […]

THE FATHER’S PLAN

THE FATHER’S PLAN Luke 24:21 “But we trusted that it had been he which should have redeemed Israel; and beside all this, to day is the third day since these things were done.” When the right time came, God sent forth His Son from Heaven in His pre-existent state, into the world. He was […]

Message for December 17, 2023 from Pastor Shirley

Remembering the good things God has done will keep you encouraged. Now the enemy wants you to focus on those unanswered prayers. The enemy comes with “if God said”, “what if it doesn’t happen”. What are you focusing on today? The whispers of the enemy or the whispers of Holy Spirit. When we hear […]

For you will overcome and see the glory of your God. So continue to press forward even on the days you feel like all is to no avail. Yes, your Lord God will give you supernatural strength to keep on the journey called life. When others may look and say, “for surely they will […]

Message for November 26, 2023 from Pastor Shirley

Thanksgiving 2023 is now over. We celebrated with family and friends and were reminded how thankful we should be.

“Are you so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, are you now being made perfect by the flesh?” Gal. 3:3 Were you born into the Kingdom of God or did you get in some other way? Jesus told Nicodemus, “you must be born again”. If you weren’t born into the Kingdom you are not […]
