Accepting Your Calling
First, Jesus met Simon and Andrew right where they were, fishing. The skills to be fishermen made them ready to understand what Jesus was going to say to them. He met them right where they were in life. Their response proved that they had faith and a willing heart. Mark 1:17-18 (NIV) “Come, follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will […]
Citizens
As the Fourth of July descends, families gather on lawns, while kids zoom around on their bikes. The warmth of the night envelopes us, reminding us of our local heroes. The warmth of the night envelopes us, reminding us of our local heroes. These aren’t ordinary heroes, oh no! They’re hometown heroes who grew up […]
Jesus Is The Hope For Our Next Generation
I was watching a football game recently, and I noticed that after the game was over, and all the players, the fans, and the friends, had left, the players still had to leave the field and face larger challenges off the field. The challenges these young people left to address were the trials of life that we see […]
Water Walkers
In life’s challenging times, it’s comforting to remember that God’s compassion and forgiveness are always present. We mustn’t fear navigating through rough patches, much like braving stormy seas. Consider Peter, who dared to walk on water towards Jesus. However, when he let doubt creep in, the stormy waves distracted him and he began to sink. […]

God is the Source and Fulfillment of Our Hope
Last week our HeartVision church family got together to have a birthday celebration. One of the advantages of having a small group of believers is that we can all get together at one time. This is awesome for me. I love the idea that a group of Christian friends can get together to share their […]
Hope is God’s Response to Difficult Times
The parable of the Good Samaritan is familiar to many of us. We see in this parable that Jesus is challenged by the lawyers of the Hebrew law with the question, “Who is my neighbor?” Jesus responded with a parable. Luke 10:30-36 (NIV) “In reply Jesus said: “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, when […]
Mothers
Our mothers demonstrate an unwavering love for us that doesn’t seek anything in return, a love that’s boundless, unconditional, and never-ending. Scriptures, specifically Exodus 20:12 NKJV, instruct us to show deep respect and honor towards our mothers. An example of such respect is shown by Jesus Christ Himself. Even in His final moments on the […]
