Honorable Manhood Study (Sept-Oct)
Many of us as men were not given a healthy vision for our masculinity from our own fathers, and therefore, we often go through most of our adult life feeling confused, ashamed or controlled by our sexuality. But when we as men truly catch hold of God’s epic vision and purpose for our manhood – … Read more
“One God, One Purpose”
The enemy has gone to great lengths to conceal our idols in order to divide our focus and allegiance to our Creator. The Lord wants, and deserves, your total devotion and commitment. Seek Him first (Matthew 6:33), with all your heart (Jeremiah 29:13) and He will reveal any hidden idols in your life so that He, and He alone, can rule on the throne of your life.

Do You Want to Get Well?
For years I struggled with addiction. At my lowest points, I would cry out to the darkness that I hated the effect it had on my life, and how much better my life would be if I could just ‘be better’.

Where Does Your Joy Come From?
If our joy is found in the “fireworks” or excitement of following Him then what happens when we aren’t feeling it? Will we become disinterested when the journey of this life gets long and hard.
