Father, we thank You for Jesus who conquered death and is alive forevermore. And because He lives we live also. What hope and assurance this brings to all who repent and believe, to all who receive Your Son, Jesus, as their personal Savior. We worship “the faithful witness, the firstborn of the […]

Father, we fix our thoughts upon the living hope we have in Jesus Christ our Lord. We anchor our soul in the bedrock of Your Holy Word so that when other viewpoints or life’s circumstances seek to counter the truths You teach our anchor remains firm. When difficulties appear insurmountable remind […]

Father, the permanence and sting of death was done away with when You raised Christ Jesus from the dead. Had You sent ten thousand angels to rescue Him from the hands of His enemies and thwarted His execution on the cross we would not know of Your awesome power according to the Spirit of holiness

Father, reading all through the Bible, we see that good and evil co-exist. We also read of those who are half-heart-ed and those who are whole-heart-ed in their devotion to You. If we, as Your followers, choose to be half-heart-ed we give too much space in our hearts to Satan and his minions to have

Jesus, You are the Chief Cornerstone that provides for us the foundation on which we choose to build our spiritual lives. It’s in Your blood and righteousness that we place our hope and trust because the world all around us is like sinking sand. Thank You for being our firm foundation and for […]

Father, we choose to make You the King of kings and Lord of lords in our hearts, receiving Your free gift of salvation purchased for us through the sacrificial blood of Jesus Christ that streamed down from the cross of Calvary. We thank You for Jesus, who has set us free from the penalty of
