Faithful in Adversity
Continuing in our series on Faithful servants. This week we take a look at what it means to be faithful in adversity… Something else Stephen’s life seems to teach us is that God’s grace doesn’t exclude us from adversity. On the contrary, exercising God’s grace will at times attract adversity. An observation of the Early […]
Faithful with God’s Grace
Continuing in our series on Faithful servants. This week we take a look at what it means to be faithful with God’s Grace… God is looking for Spirit filled men to undertake His assignments.

Faithful Servant
We’re starting a short series on Faithful Servant. This weeks blog is written by a good friend of ours Dee Kyalo-Mwanzia. I recently read the story of five missionaries (Jim Elliot, Nate Saint, Pete Fleming, Roger Youderian and Ed McCully), who were killed while evangelizing the Huaorani people of Ecuador. These five ministers of the Gospel joined Stephen […]
The Right Now Generation
In his essay “The One Graduation Speech Millennials Need To Hear.” Nicolas Mills writes about millennials: “They don’t assume, as so many college students did in the ’60’s, that by sticking together they will be able to create a more just society.

The radio started playing “Be Still My Soul”. Imagine the scene. Everyone was moving around trying to get their breakfast. And God sends […]
The Sacrifice for Freedom
I recently met a new friend that served two tours in Vietnam, as an Army medic, and received the Silver Star which is this nation’s third highest Military honor. He understood that freedom sometimes requires us to sacrifice our lives. Jesus also paid a sacrifice for our freedom from sin. Jesus paid the price for […]

Nobody Can Take What God has for You

But all Israel and Judah loved David because he was so successful at leading his troops into battle.” 1 Samuel 18:14-16 NLT “I have created the blacksmith who fans the […]
