I AM the Vine | John 15:1-17
Jesus often spoke in picture illustrations so that his audience would relate. He captured the ordinary and turned it divine. By likening himself to bread, he communicated that we need him to live, that he alone satisfies. By likening himself to a shepherd, a common profession in the time and region of Jesus, he communicated that he will lay down his life for us and protect us from enemies.
The Valiant Woman | Proverbs 31:10-31
When you think of the ideal woman, what comes to mind? No matter the woman image that you pictured when you think of the ideal woman, there’s a good chance that you are right. Our passage today is Proverbs 31:10-31, more famously known as the wife of noble character.
Response of the Holy Spirit | Galatians 6:1-10

Empowered by the Holy Spirit | 1 Corinthians 12:1-13
When I was a younger mom, raising Brayden through elementary school, I realized I needed to be his advocate on behalf of him with his teachers and administrators.

Follow Me | Luke 9:59-60
August 7, 2020, was a quiet morning. I prepared my coffee and oatmeal, the Holy Spirit brought to my mind the story of Jesus and the man who had to bury his father.
P.R.A.Y. Like Hannah | 1 Samuel 1
When we receive good news or find ourselves blessed with finances, health, children, or title, it can be all too easy to look at those who are the have-nots. We wonder what they aren’t doing right, or we have all the answers and give our advice freely to them. We don’t realize the sting this may cause for something out of their grasp.
