As we begin to look at the theology of stewardship, Pastor Ford will ask how many of us have made God the Lord of the leftovers? Because if we’re honest with ourselves, He usually gets our leftover time, our leftover talents, our leftover treasures. We often think, ‘If I have anything left, then I can give to God.’...

There is no such thing as coincidence with God.  Only providence.  Nothing is accidental.  Everything is Providential when it comes to the things that God allows to happen to His people. So, Pastor Ford will remind us today that it’s never too late to call on God to work through His providence on our behalf.

Today, Pastor Ford will help us identify some very practical ways we can tell if God has called us to a certain ministry, before we dive in headfirst to what we think we’ve been called to do.  We’ll learn how to discover our passions and priorities and identify our desire to glorify God, all while following His guidance.

Sometimes, when we’re taking care of God’s business and serving in ministry, we are hesitant to acknowledge the gifts of other people in our midst.  We see them as an intrusion against our own ministry, instead of an infusion of help from God. And instead of seeing them as a threat, Pastor Ford will encourage us to discover...

As we continue our study in Genesis 39, we’ll see how the biblical character, Joseph, went from the pit where his brothers placed him, all the way to the palace of Pharoah. And Pastor Ford will explain that just like Joseph, we can’t get to the palace without first being in the pit. And that’s why most people often don’t...

When we look at the difference between joy and happiness, we learn that joy is produced by the Holy Spirit; happiness is produced by the human spirit. And so, if it’s independent of circumstances, joy is not impacted by what’s happening around us or to us. Joy is what’s happening through us.

Today, Pastor Ford will have some practical advice for those of us who find ourselves in jobs we don’t like. One way to find a better perspective is to consider the fact that God has placed each of us where He wants us to be. And if we see our job, not as a job, but as a mission and ministry that God has appointed us to, then we will...

Today, Pastor Ford will share with us some things to consider when we’re going through trouble at work.  As believers and followers of Christ, what should we be saying when we encounter trials of any kind?—"This is only a test!”  It’s a test to see whether or not we really believe and trust God.

God is a friend to the friendless. He’s hope for the hopeless. He’s a shelter in the time of storm. He’s our rock in a weary land, our comforter in trial and trouble. And the only question is—what do you need Him to be for you right now? Whatever it is, that’s what He’s going to show Himself to be.

You may have heard the saying, “It’s not what you know, it’s who you know.”  And this time of year, that really rings true for us as believers.  Christmas is not about “the what” we know.  Christmas is about “the Who” we know.  We don’t celebrate Christmas about “the...
