Jesus’ life on earth was the physical representation of God the Father in Heaven. He only spoke what God told Him to say. He only did what God told Him to do so that mankind would see, touch, hear & smell what God the Father is really like.

God’s word is truth and THE standard. David knew that. David knows God’s promises, His covenant, is based on God’s sovereignty — not David’s actions!! The same principle applies to us…we can rest in the God of David…He’s the very same God to us. Therefore, DO NOT WORRY, INSTEAD — PRAY ABOUT EVERYTHING

We all want freedom and equality, but true freedom comes at the feet of Jesus. The first missionary trip to Europe by Paul & Silas revealed to Lydia and her family that real liberation occurs when one humbles themselves before Jesus. Where the Spirit of the Lord is — there is FREEDOM!

Have you ever wondered what to do when you are waiting on God? Or when you don’t know the answer? Or when you’re afraid? Peter, John and the newly born little baby church faced all of these questions. And they did one thing — PRAY. As a believer, prayer is our mightiest weapon against the enemy and our hotline to God’s throne.

God changes us from the inside out. He looks on the heart — those parts of us that no one knows about — those places in our hearts and minds that we keep to ourselves and don’t let anyone know — those are the parts God wants. That’s where He can teach us wisdom. That’s where God can speak to us.

How we respond to life’s situations could very well be the cause for people to receive or repel the Gospel. Paul & Silas saw their unfair circumstances as an opportunity to honor God and proclaim the good news of Christ. Blessing & rejoicing are sure to follow us when we are persecuted in Jesus’ name. Like Paul & Silas, we can trust God in ALL THINGS because He has them ALL under His control.

Peter surprised Rhoda and the early church by appearing at the door in the middle of the night. We’ve all been there — praying to God for someone or something and then He answers but not at all in the way we expected! God doesn’t belong in a box! Let Him answer our prayers the way He chooses. Rhoda — OPEN THE DOOR!

We live in a crazy topsy-turvy world. Daniel lived in a place far from home, but his relationship with God kept him grounded living in his topsy turvy world. Live for God even when it doesn’t make sense to the world around us. Measure everything by God’s standard. LIVE ON PURPOSE.
