Tumbleweeds tell a story. Whether they’re plastered along a fencerow or bouncing down a highway, they speak of a dry and rootless life. They are the fruit of a barren wilderness. Jeremiah used them as an example when bringing this message from God: “Cursed is the strong one who depends on mere humans, who thinks …
Prayer in Dry Times
The blast of summer heat came early this year. Grass crunched underfoot sooner, plants curled with stress smaller, gaping cracks appeared in the ground quicker. I reached down and could put my whole hand into one of those cracks and never touch bottom. It was that dry and it was still June. So, when clouds …
Kaleidoscope
Arlin shared this poem during opening time this week. Enjoy these words of restored hope with us: Kaleidoscope by Arlin Yrastorza This kaleidoscope I hold in hand seems simple in itself, a child's toy I once enjoyed retired on the shelf. What is it now that beckons me to turn it to the sky; internal shards …
Everyday
Whew ... what a great opening day of classes yesterday! Laura and the worship team led us in singing Hillsong's "Everyday". We told God, in front of each other, that "Everyday it's You I live for". (listen here) I’ve discovered that if I want to live for God everyday, I need to stop living for …

God Gives Fruit
Where are you today? Are you THRIVING or are you STRIVING? Because our striving tree is not real . . . alive . . . or free, it also will never be fruitful. It looks great on the outside, but has no future. God has made living things to reproduce themselves. He’s planned a future …
God Is Freedom
Where are you today? Are you THRIVING or are you STRIVING? For the past few weeks, we’ve used an artificial tree to describe striving. It looks so perfectly put together, but it’s not REAL and it has no LIFE. Today I want us to notice together that the striving tree also is not FREE. It sits …
God is Life
The past few weeks we've been discussing the difference between thriving and striving. Are you thriving--allowing God to grow you? Or are you striving--trying in vain to grow yourself? This week we want to focus on God as life. Life is kind of important for thriving, isn’t it? Jesus explained this in John 15:5-8. The Message …
God is For Real
The best selling paperback, Heaven is for Real, has captivated us with a story of a boy who told his father what he experienced in heaven for a few short minutes. Something about that simple, innocent account rings true from the inside out for some of us. It confirms what we know to be true …
