Do you ever wonder how our faith is built? It does not just happen. We don’t just wake up one day and have faith. There is a building process that must take place that is linked to our relationship with God and others. In the past few weeks, we have discovered a correlation between our relationship with God and others. As we get to know God through scripture, we realize we are actually spending time with God. Through this, we begin to trust God. As […]

Has God ever commanded you to do something? I don’t particularly like being told what to do, but when God speaks, there is a proper response. Today, we are going to begin laying a firm foundation, a place where we can set our foot. So that when the time comes, we can stand confidently on what we know to be true.

The Gospel of Luke tells us, “He (Jesus) went to Nazareth, where he had been brought up, and on the Sabbath day he went into the synagogue, as was his custom. He stood up to read, 17 and the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him. Unrolling it, he found the place where it is written: 18 “The Spirit […]
