There are places along our walk of faith which we cannot do alone. Sometimes getting to the next step of faith takes help from others.
Everyone can have moments of indecision. Moving to the next step of faith sometimes requires looking at the maze before us, relying on God, and moving forward.
Sometimes we may have an idea of what God places in front of us; but what do we do when it all feels a bit overwhelming?
Often in our lives we tackle big projects or long processes which require multiple steps. And whenever we complete one step, we move on to whatever is up next.
Bible Text: Luke 24:13-35 | Preacher: Tom VanderPloeg | Series: Reflections
We pause during this Holy week to take a few moments along with Jesus between the trees in the garden of Gethsemane.
Psalm 119 concludes with an appeal for God to enact his will according to his Word. Often we desire for God to enact his will in ways that give us deliverance; we too want to shout hosanna to the King! But do we really understand what that means?
Over and over again Psalm 119 speaks about God’s word as a path. While some people might like to think of faith as something that gives our lives a solid and immovable foundation, the Bible prefers to show us that faith is a moving journey with a clear direction.
Forever is a long time. Sometimes we might have a hard time imagining what eternity will be like. But what if the eternity of God is not meant to focus our attention on the future? What if the eternity of God has more to do with how we live right now?
It seems like so many people these days are dealing with anxiety like never before. The author of Psalm 119 describes the details of his own stress, and points us towards an answer to anxiety.
