40 Days of Prayer and Fasting – Day 11 First Love
Today, as we enter day 11 of our 40 day fast, we begin to read the prophetic words of Jesus to the 7 churches in Revelation. Jesus knows us inside and out. He knows the spiritual state of us as individuals and he knows the spiritual state of churches corporately. In order to have Jesus' …

40 Days of Prayer and Fasting – Day 8 – Persevere
It's easy to boast in the glory of God. Not so easy to glory in suffering. Suffering is not fun at all!

Why Do They Call it Good Friday?
Jesus knew that the sufferings he would experience on this earth would pale in comparison to the glory of redeeming the children of God, for the sole purpose of it being the Father's will to show them his kindness for all eternity.
