Let’s be honest, there's no one who doesn’t think they could use some growth in the area of patience. Being tested in the area of patience is no fun, yet it is one of the most sought-after characteristics God longs to see in His children. Why? Patience demands sacrifice, and sacrifice demands trust. The ability to walk in faith as we wait on God demonstrates a God-fearing respect, surrender, and trust that He is good and He will provide. When we patiently wait, we honor and praise Him as we choose to rest in His timing, His plan, and His promises that He will provide.

Voyagers: Part 5

Risky Business
June 27, 2021 • Chris Heller
We find Paul at a place where he is convinced he is to return to Jerusalem, much to the chagrin of those who are offering him council. He will have to decide between heeding the warnings of those wanting him to stay, or following the sense of call he has urging him to go. Have you ever made a decision that is outside the norm, or even against the flow? Have you ever decided to launch out into something others deemed reckless?
Under Fire
July 4, 2021 • Chris Heller
We voyage into the fire of adversity. The fire is raging, and it's going to be tempting to walk away, but we're voyagers . . . so in we go, EVEN IF we get burned. Have you ever launched into something for others that you truly believed in, only to find every move is met with adversity? Have you ever questioned why God wouldn't prevent the adversity you're facing from happening when you are clearly doing this for Him?
