Paul&#8217;s words to the church in Philipi are the inspiration for this: &#8220;I thank my God every time I remember you. In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first ...]]></description>

		<title>Following Jesus</title>
		<description><![CDATA[How do you handle a rebuke?  Peter was rebuked by Jesus for refusing to incoraprate the message of the cross into his understanding and confession of Jesus.  Jesus words are challenging to each and every one of us.  The only way to salvaiton is through following Jesus by faith throuh His Death and Resurection applied to your life.  To deny or rebuke our sinful nature on a daily basis is what it means to follow Jesus.  Be inspired with this video concerning folliowng Jesus.

		<title>Tests- Genesis 22</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Tests are a part of our Journey. We all experience them. They help to shape and mold our character. We know that they are inevitable. Isaac did not know the adventure and test that his dad was taking him on when he set for the sacrifice. Experiencing God&#8217;s provision and presence in the midst of life&#8217;s test and trial is often very difficult. Abraham believed God and trusted in His word. God provided for him a substitute sacrifice. God provides for us in the midst of our difficulties.

		<description><![CDATA[Prayer Part II:  Going Deeper
A friend of mine recently asked me a challenging question. &#8220;How do you go deeper in your friendships and relationships with others?&#8221; What is it about one relationship that causes it to go to a deeper level while other relationships that we have seem to stay on a surface level?
Relationships that go to the next level happen when someone takes the initiative and opens up their heart to share of themselves. You hear them share of their heart on a level that you can connect with ...]]></description>

		<title>Prayer &#8211; Part I</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Prayer &#8211; Part I
 
What is prayer?  How important a role does prayer play in your life?  Do you set aside time to pray?
 
In today&#8217;s world it is hard to slow down to do things like pray.  The pace of life seems to get faster and faster.  God has not wired us to go at warp speed without taking time for rest and renewal.  Like a nice car that get&#8217;s you were you need to go, you have to stop every once in a while to get fuel, to do regular ...]]></description>
