Jesus, Our Joy – Lesson 10“Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!” I’m not sure about you but that one line causes me to start humming a song I learned as a child. If you aren’t familiar with a song with that phrase, don’t stress. You are saved from the torture…
Jesus, Our Joy – Lesson 9I’m so proud of you for making it to lesson 9. It’s never easy to stick with something for this many weeks. I’m certain that God has spoken to your heart as you have allowed His Word to wash over you. In lesson 9, Paul reminds the Philippians of how…
Jesus, Our Joy – Lesson 8 Many Christians have become really good at listening to another sermon or Bible study and being reminded of what they should be doing. Unfortunately, education hasn’t always led to execution because while we’ve become familiar with what we should be doing, we lack the steps to actually do it….
By: Bobi Ann Allen But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect. No, I worked harder than all of them—yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me.–1 Cor. 15:10 Have you ever been robbed? When I was a girl,…

Jesus, Our Joy – Lesson 6 When I was in college, I took a psychology class where we studied Pavlov’s dogs. These dogs were quickly trained/conditioned that when a bell rang they would be fed. They were quick learners at cause and effect. Many of us have been conditioned to believe that if we manage…
Jesus, Our Joy – Lesson 5 In our fifth lesson, we piggy back onto lesson 4 where we considered how God handles the humble. Though we see how God exalts, extends mercy and provides generously for the humble, God is not indifferent to the proud. The week we consider signs of pride in our own…
Recently, an Uber conversation turned to the reason I was in the city. In the midst of dialogue, my driver said, “We are the same in our religion. You have your prophet, and I have mine!” My response stopped him. “Well you can say that but not me. You see my Savior came and died…
By: Jodi Aiken Wildflowers and weeds occupied the large lot next to the home where I grew up. I loved wandering around the turf searching for treasures. I especially liked to find dandelions.
