Acts 13:1-4; Acts 13:37; 1 Chronicles 16:24 We're on the final stretch here. I woke up this morning so relieved. I feel like I've already made it. even though we have the rest of today to go. Yesterday was a tough day for me. But being on the last day is surprisingly encouraging and energizing. If you've made it this far then you have every reason to rejoice in the Lord and we'll finish strong tog...  Read More

1 Corinthians 12::12-31; Romans 12:6-13; John 13:12-15TGIF. At this point, you're close enough to the end that you taste whatever it is that you are fasting from or that you crave. Maybe your like me and everything  you see at this point looks and smells amazing. Seems like "The Sampler" is the way to go on Sunday wherever you might eat. Eating is great. And eating what I want and like is greater....  Read More

Titus 2:1-15; Acts 20:28-30; 1 Peter 5:1-4We're turning the corner today and over half way home. I am praying for us all, that the Lord would be found by us as we seek Him. Things start to get harder at this point. At least they do for me. I was greatly encouraged and energized personally by doing the podcast yesterday with Caleb as we talked through Isaiah 58 and some things about fasting. If you...  Read More

2 Timothy 1:3-14; 2 Timothy 2:1-7; Proverbs 22:6I love the perspective which the Lord impressed upon Jim McCallie and which he emphasized to some of us on Monday night at our evening prayer time, that this week of fasting, however you are approaching it, is not about what we can’t do, but about what we get to do and are being invited into. I thought about that a lot yesterday. I’m grateful for tha...  Read More

Ephesians 5:22-33; Genesis 2:18; Ecclesiastes 4:9-10I’ll be honest… day one was just starting to get difficult for about the time we had prayer at the church last night. We had a sweet time with about 15 people that ministered to me personally. Being in this together is a blessing. Doing this alongside brothers and sisters is strengthening. Whatever plans you have and however you’re approaching th...  Read More

Psalm 51, Leviticus 22:31-33, Hebrews 9:13-14:Deciding to enter into this kind of focused week of seeking God is perhaps the biggest hurdle any of us have to overcome. Once we have made the decision to participate, the decision of how to participate is a second challenge. I’m hoping that if you are reading this, it means you’ve gotten past those first two barriers. It’s my experience that the firs...  Read More

by James Rowell One of my greatest pastoral burdens and desires is to see the people of God more engaged with the Word of God. One of the common barriers to personal Bible reading is the size and scope of the Bible. Where do I start? What  should I read? How much should I read? These questions paralyze us.We need more than a good Bible reading plan to get engaged with the Scriptures. But the absen...  Read More

Our Sunday Gathering this last week was oriented toward corporate repentance as a church. The message from Acts 11 was focused on repentance, which led us into a time of repentance as a church family.The best New Testament pattern that we have for corporate repentance is found in Revelation 2-3. We are introduced in those chapters to 7 churches in Asia Minor to which Jesus wrote a letter. These we...  Read More

Guest post from Generations member, Maria Blackwell:“But we will devote ourselves to prayer and to the ministry of the Word.”Acts 6:4Church family, It is time once again for our monthly prayer gathering. But more than that, after James’ sermon on Sunday, it feels like we NEED to gather in dependent corporate prayer! He said, “Prayer is our way forward. It is our recognized need for God. We are in ...  Read More

This is worth our real consideration:"It is hard to generalize about a whole nation as large and complex as our own, but it might not be far wrong to say that the characteristic flesh of America is compounded of covetousness, gluttony, egocentric libertarianism, and pride, all of which have been selectively bred into our culture because of the types of sinful people we have attracted and the behav...  Read More
