What have you immersed yourself in this week? Has God awakened some new idea about His character as you studied your lessons? Have you immersed yourself in prayer to allow God’s Spirit to overcome a stronghold or to intercede for someone else? As I've been reading, noticing how God’s people immerse themselves throughout scripture, one …
Immerse Yourself in Prayer
Consider this quote about prayer: “It begins out of desperation – it grows into a discipline – and becomes a passion.” That desperate beginning certainly rings true. Who of us hasn’t hit--knees to the floor--and cried, “God, help!”? And that last part about being passionate for prayer? I love the way …
For What It’s Worth
Equipping you to worship is a tenet of our times together every Tuesday Morning. In WORSHIP you give worth or value to something; it’s excessive admiration, reverence, and respect. Some of the ways we commonly worship look like large groups singing praise songs or moments of solitude in the beauty of nature. Jesus offers a …
Immerse Yourself
What do you think about when you see a large bucket of ice water? In the past month or so social media has been flooded (pun intended) with the ALS ice bucket challenge. What makes us want to dump ice water on our heads, video it, then challenge our friends to do the same? Is …
Sifted Like Wheat?

The God Who Saves
John gives us an inside look at an amazing moment that was reserved for Jesus’ closest friends. He came, He spoke peace -- not just with words but with the power of His Spirit -- and He gave a promise of forgiveness. On the evening of the first day of the week, when the disciples …
Offering our Lives to Him
As an equipping ministry for women, our prayer for you comes from Hebrews 13: “May the God of peace . . . equip you with everything good for doing his will, and may he work in us what is pleasing to him, through Jesus Christ.” (Hebrews 13:20-21) Notice that God does the work to equip YOU, …
Fall 2013 Begins
Tuesday Morning classes began two whole days ago when 150 women and 100 children stepped through wide open glass doors and settled into their respective classrooms. The Coffee House filled with dozens of conversations - renewed and new - sitting around tables, standing in line, sipping on coffee. As we settled into the morning together, …
The God Who Satisfies
As we begin a new season of classes on Tuesday Mornings, I wonder what has weathered our souls since we last met together? How many of us have been under low clouds that poured on us each day? Who of us experienced sunny skies and rainbows? Has it been a time of drought and doing …
