We are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works … Ephesians 2:10  Jesus takes fragments and blends them together to bring Him praise. He recruited tax collectors, Jewish revolutionaries, fishermen, and others to be His followers. And down through the centuries Christ continues to call out people from varied walks of life. The apostle Paul tells us, “He makes the whole body fit together perfectly. As each part does its own special work, it helps the other parts grow, so that the whole body is healthy and growing and full of love” (Eph. 4:16 nlt). So thankful to be a part of His workmanship! … LeroyRead More →

Oh, give thanks to the Lord! … 1 Chronicles 16:8 For some, being thankful means simply living with a sense of gratitude—taking time to recognize and focus on the things we have, instead of the things we wish we had. The Bible takes the idea of thankfulness to a deeper level. The act of giving thanks causes us to recognize the One who provides our blessings. Today we can be truly thankful by worshiping the Giver instead of the gifts we enjoy … Leroy **** Looking forward to seeing you tonight! ****Read More →

He used a thorn in Paul’s flesh to teach him about grace(2 Cor. 12:7-9). Know that God is ready to be your strength today! … LeroyRead More →

Now therefore, O God, strengthen my hands … Nehemiah 6:9 Nehemiah, who led in the rebuilding of the wall of Jerusalem, refused to give up. He faced insults and intimidation from the enemies all around him as well as injustices from his own people. Despite the challenges, the wall was completed in 52 days. But Nehemiah’s work was not complete. He encouraged the Israelites to study the Scriptures, to worship, and to keep God’s law.  We all face challenges and difficulties in life. But as God helped Nehemiah, He will also strengthen us! Remember … Today’s challenges are designed not to break us but to bendRead More →

As Elijah lay and slept under a broom tree, suddenly an angel touched him, and said to him, “Arise and eat.” … 1 Kings 19:5 Elijah had grown accustomed to being the center of God’s grand displays of power. But then Elijah felt afraid and started to run. God sent an angel to feed him to strengthen him for his journey. After 40 days he arrived in Horeb. God showed him that He was now communicating in a still small voice, not in flashy  miracles (19:11-12). If you’re discouraged because God hasn’t shown up in a blaze of glory, perhaps He’s revealing Himself with His quiet presence.  RememberRead More →
