When we first come to Christ and receive Him as our Lord and Savior we are changed. However, that change is not the only change the Lord wants to do in our lives. We are according to Ephesians 4:22-24 are in a perpetual state of change as the Lord perfects makes us into the image of Jesus. Transformation is the currency that proves that we have Christ living in us and that we are in Him. So, how does this change happen? How do we go about cooperating with the Holy Spirit? We examine all of these questions today.

Have you ever wondered why the Lord allows storms in our life? Why HE may seem to be distant but promises to never leave us or forsake us? Today, we address these questions as we continue to work our way through the Gospel of John. 

As we continue to study in the Gospel of John, we arrive today at two verses in the sixth chapter. What we discover is no matter what happens in our life, we can have great assurance that we are protected, that we have a powerful ally who is sticking up for us before our heavenly Father. Be encouraged today, for Jesus cares for you. 

Alesa Miller is our guest speaker for Mother's Day. Her and her husband have Pastored several churches and they currently are heavily involved in U. S. Missions in Oklahoma. Alesa gives a message entitled, "Choose Your Hard". Its a message that reminds us that God's favor begins in a way that doesn't seem like favor. As she winds her theme we discover something about our Lord and how faithful he is.

Today, we examine a miracle that is found in every Gospel. It's a miracle of supply when we are willing to surrender, who we are and what we have to God. To that extent, we will discover what happens when one person is willing to surrender themselves to God and how God can redeem them for HIS Glory. 

One of the great questions of new believers comes down to this, "How do I know when and if God is truly speaking, guiding and leading me?" Today, we examine a text where Jesus identified Peter as being blessed because he heard from God. In Matthew 16:16-27 we see a balance approach at how to test what we believe we have heard from God, how to realize that if God is speaking to us what should our attitude be in those moments and lastly, what it means to truly follow God.   

Today, we look at the eyewitness testimony spoken about the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. We examine the Biblical History through the eyes of Richard Bauckham, a well respected historian and Biblical scholar. Were the accounts in the gospels more like historical accounts or legend?  

Today, we examine the narrative of three kings who made a plan, when it turned into a likely disaster. One King then suggested that they should seek out God's will and plan. Elisha gave them the plan of God. Their part was to dig the holes in the valley. God would provide the water to fill those holes. God typically provides a way and simply asks us to be a willing participant in the process.

In this journey of faith we all come to hard times. Jesus never said everything would be easy. However, Jesus did say he would never leave us or forsake us. Today, we remember four simple lessons that all Jesus followers should always remember as we travel this narrow road. This is a word of encouragement for those who have been tried and tested. 

Looking at the narrative of Moses' interactions with Pharoah, we notice a distinction that God makes between HIS people and Pharoah's people. Is that distinction still in play all of these thousands of years later? Do Christ-followers have a God recognized distinction today? If so, what does that look like today and what does the Bible say that it looks like in the future?
