Last Tuesday, we had the privilege of hearing Joy Armstrong's story. The daughter of a preacher, Joy made the decision to follow Jesus at a young age, but for years, a bent towards legalism kept her from truly knowing God's heart. Here's what she's learned about finding true joy. When I started having kids, I …
Words of Worship
Take a moment to review a few of the promises we affirmed during our worship time this week with Carey Helmink. I know they will bless you again, as they did me. "This is amazing grace This is unfailing love That You would take my place That You would bear my cross You lay down …
Image of God
A few weeks ago, Claudine shared how she learned to worship God in person. We might call that a practice of being in God’s presence. It’s much different from corporate worship where we come together to praise and celebrate, even confess. A personal practice seeks to listen and respond to God in solitude. Today, we’re …
Somewhere between Longer and a Cure
This past Tuesday, we had the privilege to hear from one of our Selah Sisters, Alison Rash, about her journey through the devastation of cancer. Currently, she is battling stage 4 breast cancer. Her prognosis from her current oncologist is "longer [than the previously diagnosed 2-3 years] with a very small potential to be cured." …
Never Forget
By Carey Helmink As a musician, probably one of my greatest fears is “forgetting.” As a piano major in college, we had something called “juries” every semester. And it really was as horrifying as it sounds. Numerous pages of music had to be memorized and played for a “jury” of professors so you could receive …

Snow Day!
It's January. In Nebraska. So of course, we're talking snow days. Hopefully, everyone was able to stay home and enjoy a warm house this past Tuesday. I know I stayed bundled in a fuzzy blanket most of the day. Snow Days always remind me of this message Shereen shared with us several years ago. Since …

Time to Register
Confession: I haven't registered for the next Equip Her bible study class yet. I know, right? Classes start in less than a week! I plan to attend, even know what class I'm going to take, but between the busy holiday season and the bustle of trying to get back on track for the year, that …
Redeeming our Goals
By Sheryl Murray 2019 New Year’s Resolutions/ Goals for the New Year . . . Hmm . . . As I examined my annual Christmas letter and perused through those of my friends, I realized that most of the content concerned Doing: we went here, we did this, we accomplished that--giving the impression that our …
