"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.

"Bus Breakdown"

November 4, 2024 • Daniel Kitchel • John 13:35

Pastor Daniel shares a quick story about the bus breaking down on a recent football trip. In this frustrating moment, God used strangers and one of his players to show the love of Christ in an unexpected way.

"Cage Free"

October 28, 2024 • Heath Gray • Galatians 5:13, Mark 7:32–35, John 10:9

Christianity is not a cage. It's not about what you can and cannot do. It's not about what you can and cannot have. It's about the freedom found only through Jesus Christ. The door to the cage is open. It always has been. You need only to walk through it.

"The Complaint Department"

October 21, 2024 • Brandon Bowen • James 5:9, Philippians 2:14–16

We often find ourselves complaining about any number of things, especially as the spoiled Americans we are. As Christians, however, we are called to be different and "shine like stars in the sky". When we grumble and complain, though, we diminish the light we are intended to be, and the world does not see us any differently. We must do everything we can to combat this part of our human nature.
