"It's what you learn after you know it all that counts."
1 Corinthians 13:9 For we know in part, and we preach in part.

What happens when a little boy lets God out of a box? - Laughter, tears and changed hearts. When Timothy lets God out of a box in church, God comes in, the people run out and the little boy becomes the negotiator between the pastor and God over the jurisdiction of the church.
This beautiful little story reveals God's love and how sometimes "church" can get in the way of the relationship the Lord desires to have with His people.

The Devil will be released from his prison to wreak havoc against the Church at the End of the World. Pastor Mike explains the Gog and Magog War in Revelation 20:7-10...

When Jesus spoke of “the unforced rhythms of grace,” He means that there is an ease and enjoyment when you walk in His grace.

For a human, during his childhood, emotional reasoning skills takes control of his decision making. A child does every thing possible emotionally to get his things done.
He knows to get his things done by crying, smiling and showing obsession. He hardly
debates and negotiates through his action and words.

Today can be the last day you ever have a care in this world.
Does that sound appealing to you?

God can’t move unless we show up

There are so many instances in scripture where God showed His mighty power and all it took was for the faithful of His kingdom to simply show up. One of the most popular Bible stories of all time illustrates this perfectly, David versus Goliath. The Israelite army all trembled in fear at the sight of the behemoth Goliath as he taunted their nation and God for several days. Then along comes a shepherd boy named David who decided that all God needed was just someone to show up and let Him show off. Small in stature but experienced in showing up and letting God work through him (killed a lion and bear in the past) David simple let God fight the battle through Him. In fact in 1 Samuel 17:47 David said, “All those gathered here will know that is not by sword or spear that he LORD saves; for the battle is the LORD’s, and he will give all you into our hands.” (NIV) David understood that someone had to show up to allow God to work through them. We see later in David’s life that not showing up got him and the nation of Israel in trouble (2 Samuel 11:1), when it was time for the king to go to war he decided to stay home and it lead to Him falling into both adultery and murder and opened his life to be judged by God instead of used by God. Same man, two very different results based on his willingness to show up for God.

Could the American church have found itself in a situation where it has simply stopped showing up? A generation an ago you didn’t have to wonder if families was going to be in church on Sunday morning, you knew they was going to be there. You didn’t have wonder if they were reading and studying the Bible in their home everyone knew it was the standard of being a disciple of Christ. You didn’t have to wonder if their family prayed together daily because every Christian family knew that is what you did every day. The church showed up daily and allowed God to work through them, it didn’t matter what was going on around them they kept showing up and letting God fight their battles. I am afraid that the modern church may have decided that it isn’t worth showing up anymore. They are committed to show up for the things of this world such as ball games, practices, hobbies, vacations, jobs, etc, but they are not committed to show up for the things of God. We stopped showing up to fight the giants of our time an decided it would be easier to set at home and let someone else fight the battles for us (just as David did.) Wake up church and realize that Christianity is not a spectator sport, we must show up every day and get involved so that God can work through us. So today we ask are you someone who shows up all the time, some of the time, or have you just stopped showing up at all? This family chooses to show up daily and we encourage you to the same.

The mini lesson takes a look at 1 Samuel 1 examine lessons from Hannah's Prayer to bare her son Samuel. Hannah prayed for her desperate need through desperate prayer with desperate faith. This is part one of a mini lesson series.

God calls us to pray, but why if He knows all things even before we asked Him? This is part one of a mini lesson series on why God calls us to prayer. This video will focus on anxiety, uncertainties, struggles, opposition and those things that bring us concern in our personal lives. We all face uncertainties and struggles so find encouragement in this.

If God really knows are needs, why should we pray? This is the second lesson of this mini lesson series. In this video we will look at how Jesus instructed us to pray.
