"If Not Now, When?"

August 19, 2024 • Brandon Bowen • Romans 8:12–15, Psalm 119:57

Ever see something broken around your home and think, "I need to fix that," then do nothing about it? Yet we know that if we just stopped and fixed it, ultimately we'd be glad that we got it taken care of. In this devotional, Brandon talks about how we sometimes do the same thing when the Holy Spirit prompts us to do something.

When we listen and respond to the prompting and conviction of the Holy Spirit when it happens, rather than procrastinating, we get the opportunity to experience healing, joy, and correction.

"All Fall Short"

November 18, 2024 • Bruce Kreger • Matthew 7:1–5, John 8:1–13, Romans 3:21–31

10 Jesus straightened up and asked her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?” 11 “No one, sir,” she said. “Then neither do I condemn you,” Jesus declared. “Go now and leave your life of sin.” - John 8:10-11

"Gotcha Kitchel!"

November 11, 2024 • Dustin Kitchel • 1 John 1:9, Hebrews 10:19–25, Psalm 103:12, James 4:8

Guilt and shame are not something God would ever burden us with. These thoughts and feelings are often brought on by unconfessed sin and an unwillingness to repent. Also, people will wrong us as well, creating the same feelings. Dustin tells a story about a time in junior high, where the term “Gotcha Kitchel!” made him and Daniel want to run away and hide.
