Restore My Soul

Can you think of a time God purified you, rescued you, or restored you? Pastor Scott touched on this in his message this past Sunday! God is in the business of restoring people. Joshua 3:5: “Then Joshua told the people, ‘Purify yourselves, for tomorrow the Lord will do great wonders among you.’” Where is the […]

Commitment: Mean It So You Don’t Have To Repeat It

For the second Sunday in a row, our church had the honor of hearing from one of The Summit’s overseers! Pastor Scott Weatherford and I have a long friendship history, and it was a blessing to have him pour into our church. It was fitting that Pastor Scott talked about dreams, as it ties in […]

Two Lives

I want to reflect more on Pastor Rusty’s message from Sunday and take a look at God’s timing. As he said, “Timing is everything…” and “I’ll go further even when I fall.” The life you live here on earth is going to have ups and downs (valleys). Yes, it’s good to have dreams and godly […]

What is God’s Plan for My Life?

What does the Bible actually say about God’s plan for your life? Does it say anything at all, or is everyone just left to figure it out on their own? The simple answer is yes, God DOES have a plan for your life! Jeremiah 29:11: “’For I know the plans I have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans to prosper you and not […]

Seasons & Reasons

You have two main positions to take in this life regarding God. You can live in blissful ignorance of Him, or you can accept His free gift of salvation. It helps to understand that while God can do what He needs to do WITHOUT you, He wants do life with you. He chooses and wants to be with […]

How You’re Made New

If you’re spending this week in self-review, it will help you to understand how Christ makes you new! While your physical appearance may stay the same (as well as some of your interests), you’ve changed spiritually. You’ve been forgiven from your past/history! Ephesians 1:7: “In [Christ] we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in […]

Self-Review
