Easter is significant because it is the Christian’s most important celebration. Easter is not about bunnies, colored eggs, or baskets of goodies!

READ MOREThe Bible is packed full of encouraging verses for believers who are going through difficult times. For example, for those who are dealing with the loss of a loved one, we read in Matthew 5:4, “Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.” Psalm 147:3 says, “He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.” In His Word, God God reminds us often…
READ MOREThe first thing we should do as parents when trying to build the faith of our children is to lead by example. Children will learn much more from us by what is caught than by what is taught. They need to see us reading our Bibles, praying, and being faithful to worship and serve in our churches. We need to pray for them and to pray with them, while teaching them how to pray as well. Also, tell them how God answers prayers. He answers with...
READ MOREPrayer is a vital part of our relationship with Jesus. Think about how communication works in a marriage.

READ MOREYour responsibility to those that you lead to Jesus is plain and simple: you are not supposed to leave them to figure things out on their own. You are not supposed to abandon them as orphans in the family of God. Jesus’ last command to His disciples was to “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations” (Matthew 28:19). We are to disciple others, just as our Savior—our Lord, Jesus Christ—made disciples of others.
READ MORESimply put, tithing is the biblical practice of giving a tenth of your resources back to God as an act of worship and trust in His provision. The word tithe, (Hebrew- ma aser, Greek- apodekatoo), literally means “tenth part.” The first time we see the practice of giving back to God is in Genesis 4:1-7.
