In this podcast, host Lisa Lorenzo talks about the struggles of her quiet time with the Lord and the importance of seeking God himself rather than seeking the power of God. She suggests carving out time to talk to God in the morning and at night, and suggests looking to the examples of Jesus in the Bible who woke up early and went away to a solitude place to pray. Lisa also shares Proverbs 3 as a great guideline to spending time with God, and suggests self-reflection and bringing our hearts to God.The speaker talks about the importance of understanding and how it can be more valuable than silver. He encourages the listener to take the time to reflect on their heart, to open up to God about their feelings, and to confess any sins or weaknesses. He emphasizes the importance of meditating on God's word and trusting in Him. He also encourages the listener to invite God into their situations and to obey Him in the good He has asked of them. Through this process of self-reflection, the listener can learn to draw closer to God and be more profitable than silver.The speaker discussed two passages from the Bible that speak to the process of confession and repentance. Chronicles 7:14 and John 1:9 focus on humbling oneself, praying and seeking God, and turning away from wickedness. When we confess our sins, God is faithful to forgive us and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. Confession is an expression of faith in God's mercy and is linked to repentance, which requires turning away from sin and toward God's righteousness. The act of confessing our sins helps us to focus on God and release the burden of our sins. With our hands free, we can lift them up and praise God, love others better, and help others carry their burdens by forgiving those who have hurt us.In this conversation, we discussed the importance of prayer and meditation in deepening our relationship with God. We are commanded to forgive others, just as God forgives us. To truly benefit from reading the Bible, we must meditate on it, rather than just read it, allowing it to affect our mind and our heart. This will lead to a deeper relationship with God. We can meditate by dwelling on God's truths and pondering them, as well as by thinking about what God has done in our lives. An example of someone who was devoted to meditation is Daniel, who prayed three times a day and was rewarded with a vision from God. We should never be afraid to pray and meditate, as God is always listening and responding to our words.Timestamps0:00:00Heading: Cultivating a Deeper Relationship with God Through Prayer0:04:42Reflection on Proverbs 16:16: "Acquiring Understanding is More Profitable than Silver"0:06:39"The Power of Confession and Repentance: Exploring 2 Chronicles 7:14 and 1 John 1:9"0:08:39Topic: The Power of Prayer and Meditation in Developing a Deeper Relationship with God0:13:04"The Power of Prayer: Examining Biblical Examples of God's Response to Prayer"0:15:02Topic: Jesus' Prayer Life0:16:33"The Power of Prayer: Jesus' Example and How to Cultivate a Praying Life"0:18:52"Exploring the Power of Prayer: A Faith with Friends Podcast"HighlightsAsk God for forgiveness.

Every time you do this, you will walk away with a little bit of better understanding of who God is. And remember that we have a helper. We have a helper. In John 14, it says, I will ask the Father and he will give you another helper and he will be with you forever.In Hebrews seven, it says that he's still making intercession for us. He lives to make intercession for us. Jesus prayed for himself. Jesus prayed for God to be glorified. Jesus sought forgiveness of others. Jesus never sinned, but he

LIBSYN: Today's Promise: Jeremiah 29:13 God doesn't hide from you. He isn't avoiding you. He desires you to find Him. Seeking God always results in finding Him. No matter where you are in your walk with God, there is more to be discovered. There is a condition to this promise. You have to seek the Lord with all your heart. Half-hearted or part-time seeking won't bring you much success. When seeking after God's heart becomes your priority, you will find Him. When you find Him, you find everything you need.

Mar 12, 2023A HEART TO OBEYActs 1:12-26When they read this book it would have read as a list of Martyrs 1:13Unity comes from us all seeking God, all waiting on the Holy Spirit, All on the same mission 1:14Women have incredible value and worth to God 1:141 Peter 2:99 But you are za chosen race, aa royal bpriesthood, ca holy nation, da people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you eout of darkness into fhis marvelous light.d.

Yet which I shall choose I cannot tell. 23 nI am hard pressed between the two. My desire is oto depart and be with Christ, for that is far better.Questions:What does it mean for us today in our American culture that this list of apostles would have read like an obituary? What is God calling us to do?Is there any shame in your life that you are still holding onto?  Of those 4 things: Look to Scripture, Use common sense, Pray, Trust the Lord, which one of those are you lacking in the most? Why is that? Do you find yourself wanting to and growing in your desire to obey God?

Not long ago, over a thousand Americans were asked to identify their anxiety triggers and this is the list of common answers… • family and relationship problems • work stress or job change • change in living arrangements  • major emotional shock following a stressful or traumatic event  • verbal, sexual, physical or emotional abuse or trauma • death or loss of a loved one • pregnancy Perhaps you can relate to one or more of the above. The Bible tells us not to worry or be anxious. It seems impossible.  Jesus himself experienced a very intense moment in the Garden of Gethsemane when his sweat became like drops of blood. Whether you take that figuratively or literally, either way it was not a pleasant time.  In the sermon on the mount Jesus gives a message about worry. The context has him talking about the anxiety you might feel over physical objects - what you eat and drink, having clothes. He says, "Seek God's kingdom first and God will provide what you need.” There's a difference between needs and wants. You need not be naked and you need to be fed. Seek God first and he will provide these things for you. But what about all the other things that cause anxiety? The apostle Paul offers his Spirit inspired words… ...do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. Philippians 4:6 Paul doesn't simply say, “Don't be anxious about anything.” He tells you how not to be anxious about anything. You see, the key to reducing your anxiety is this:  in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. We are called to pray and make our desires known to God and make all our requests with thanksgiving. What does this mean? It looks like this... You pray and ask God for something to change and at the same time you thank him for whatever response he gives. Whether he brings it into your life or he doesn't bring it into your life, you thank him in advance because he knows what you don't. He knows what he's doing. If it's the wrong thing and you don't get it, thank him for that. If he gives you the opposite of what you ask, thank him for that. You don't have to pretend that you're not let down, but you can still be thankful. Listen to the result of thankful prayer… And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:7 The opposite of anxiety is peace. Peace comes from being confident in God's sovereign control over everything, including your life. Once you go to God the Father in prayer to ask for his help to handle a serious problem or situation, then his peace will be able to start to flow into you. And once his peace starts to flow into you, then you will feel his peace starting to calm you down – even in the middle of the worst kind of storm cloud you could imagine yourself falling into. As Max Lucado says, “Sometimes God calms the storm and sometimes he doesn't. But he is always there to calm his children in the midst of the storm.”

Seek God's Will - an audio excerpt from 'Season of Mercy' by Servant of God Catherine Doherty - A Discerning Hearts Catholic Podcast The post SM2 – Seek God’s Will – Season of Mercy: Lent and Easter by Servant of God Catherine Doherty – Discerning Hearts Podcast appeared first on Discerning Hearts Catholic Podcasts.

Are You a Part of What God Is Doing in Our Country Today? Do You Seek God's Presence in Your Life? MESSAGE SUMMARY: Can you tell what God is up to in the World, in our time, in our church, and in America? Are you a part of what God is doing in the world today, or are you just reacting to what God is doing, thereby, creating conflict and division? Psalms 105 reminds you of God's power in the world if you do seek His presence in your life: “Seek the Lord and his strength; seek his presence continually! Remember the wondrous works that he has done, his miracles, and the judgments he uttered.". On the other hand, Paul, in 1 Thessalonians 1:9, warns you of the implications for not including the presence of Jesus in your worldly considerations: “They will suffer the punishment of eternal destruction, away from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his might.”. While the Lord is leading, and directing, it seems that we are wrapped up in our agenda and our way of doing things; therefore, we miss God's presence; and we miss the Holy Spirit in our lives.   TODAY'S PRAYER: Lord, everything in me resists following you into the garden of Gethsemane to fall on my face to the ground before you. Grant me the courage to follow you all the way to the cross, whatever that might mean for my life. And then, by your grace, lead me to resurrection life and power. In Jesus' name, amen.   Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 100). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, Because of who I am in Jesus Christ, I will not be driven by Hatred. Rather, I will abide in the Lord's Love. “I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in Me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from Me you can do nothing.” (John 15:5). SCRIPTURE REFERENCE (ESV): Matthew 5:6; Matthew 5:10; Psalms 112:1-6; Psalms 119b:13-24.

“What profit is there for one to gain the whole world and forfeit his life?” Mark 8:36This short and direct question is worth much meditation. In Mark's Gospel, this line comes within the context of Jesus teaching about the requirements of being His disciple. And it comes after Jesus began to explicitly teach that He Himself would suffer and die as the Christ.Think about this question above, starting with the first part of the question. “What profit is there for one to gain the whole world…” Do you want to gain the whole world? For most people, such a possibility is quite enticing. To “gain the whole world” is to gain everything this world has to offer. Imagine being offered unlimited wealth in this world. What if you were to win the largest jackpot any lottery ever offered and more? What if you were able to have beautiful mansions around the world, your own private jet, every modern convenience, the most expensive of cars, and the ability to do whatever you wanted for the rest of your life? Is this enticing? Certainly it is on a superficial level. But it is also a very deceptive enticement, because all of this could not make you any happier or more fulfilled than you already are.The second part of this question is also easy to address. Would you want to forfeit your life? Certainly not. So Jesus offers two contrasting statements in one sentence. Most people would want to gain the whole world but would never want to forfeit their lives. Jesus sets up this contrast as a way of telling us very clearly that we cannot desire one without also choosing the other. In other words, if your heart's desire is for the riches of this world, then you do indeed forfeit your very life to the extent that you give into that desire. On the contrary, if you choose the salvation of your soul, then you must forfeit the desire for the riches and enticements of this world. You cannot desire and choose both.With that said, there might be a very rare soul who has many things in this world but has no attachment to them at all. They live completely detached from the things of this world, finding true satisfaction only in God and His holy will, becoming indifferent to any material things they have. Of course, this is a very difficult interior disposition for one to arrive at when they have accumulated much wealth.Alternately, there are those in this world who have very little. They are truly poor in the literal sense. However, they spend their days dreaming about riches and covet all that they do not have. Sadly, this poor soul is, in fact, just as materially attached as the one who has made riches the goal and focus of life. And that interior attachment will do great spiritual damage.Reflect, today, upon this question of Jesus: “What profit is there for one to gain the whole world and forfeit his life?” Use that question as a source of prayer, meditation and self-examination. Try to be honest about your desires. If you find that you spend much time daydreaming about riches, then pay particular attention to this question. Life in its fullness can never be obtained through those desires or the fulfillment of those desires. God and God alone fulfills. Seek God above all else and you will find that nothing this world has to offer comes close to the riches of the Kingdom of God.Lord, You and You alone are the source of fulfillment in life. Please purify my desires so that I ultimately desire only You and Your holy will. Free me from every deception and false enticement in life so that I will find satisfaction only in You. Jesus, I trust in You.Source of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2023 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved. Used with permission via RSS feed.

Today's Promise: Matthew 6:33 Jesus turned our thinking upside down when He promised that everything will be given to us when we make the kingdom of God our priority. We think if I can get everything together, then I can find fulfillment. Jesus says, make the Kingdom of God the number one thing in your life, and fulfillment and satisfaction will follow. Can it really be that simple? Could this one promise really be the secret to finding out God's will? As you learn to live and follow the kingdom of God, you find everything else is added to you.

We Must Seek God's Pure's Word/Will! ---rahardin.com-Bio, Pods,Videos-Books: Amazon.com/Richard-A-Hardin/e/B09J2YHCVB ----Wed - 7AM CST Are you seeking and hoping to find God's perfect will about some specific area of very important concern? Listen to how Abraham's chief servant found God's perfect will to find Abraham' son Isaac God's perfect wife. Neither Abraham or Isaac were involved in the search for his wife, yet Isaac received God's special choice for him to marry Rebekah. This story shows the servant's dedication to finding God's perfect will and woman for his master's son, Isaac. Wouldn't it be neat if we all knew that God had handpicked our mates before we got married? God does have a special calling on each of our lives, and that includes a special mate(helpmate) to help us fulfill His calling.If you are seeking a mate, job, or whatever- start seeking God's special calling of service, and you will meet someone else seeking God's special calling for their life. The two of you will soon realize that each of you can help the other with their calling. On @KLRNRadio.com 7AM Mon #GPWF #Christian or anytime at rahardin.com (radio)

"Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and he will establish your plans." Pr 16:3 NIVAs a follower of Jesus Christ, vour direction shouldn't come from people and be confirmed by God, it should come from God and be confirmed by people. The Bible says: "Mortals make elaborate plans, but God has the last word. Humans are satisfied with whatever looks good; God probes for what is good. Put God in charge of your work, then what you've planned will take place. God made everything with a place and purpose" (vv. 1-4 MSG).You may be able to do what someone else has done and do it even better. But has God called you to do that particular thing? Before you follow someone else's guidance, do these: (1) Check the source of their wisdom. "The Lord gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding. He holds success in store for the upright, he is a shield to those whose walk is blameless...he guards the course of the just and protects the way of his faithful ones. Then you will understand what is right and just and fair--every good path" (Pr 2:6-9 NIV).(2) Check their motives. John writes, "I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened" (Rev 20:12 NKJV). Will one of those be "the book of motives"? And if it is, will your actions and accomplishments stand up under divine scrutiny? (3) Check the outcome they're pursuing.If you seek success in order to have power and prestige, or seek riches only to have comfort, you violate one of the core principles of God's Word:You're blessed in order to be a blessing to others.I Blessed to be a blessing to othersSupport the show

All that is coming is vanity. Seek God in Early Life 9  Rejoice, O young man, in your youth, And let your heart cheer you in the days of your youth; Walk in the [b]ways of your heart, And [c]in the sight of your eyes; But know that for all these God will bring you into judgment.     So many things we see that are successful come down to timing.  Forbes magazine printed an article that said over 46% of businesses succeed or fail due to timing.  and I quote: As Gross pointed out in his speech, Uber and Airbnb, for example, have had incredible success thanks to their innovative solutions and execution. Nevertheless, another core element had a crucial impact on their growth: timing. When both startups launched, the world was going through a recession. People were looking for new ways to earn money. This made them consider renting their homes to strangers or joining a network of drivers. The timing was perfect.   What do these verses speak directly to us about?  Youth is to be sewed - no excuses, not your IQ, not your weight, not your friends or lack of, not your finances, not your spiritual intellect, not your anointing not your marriage… BUT EVEN MORE IMPORTANTLY… Sew into lots of things, try it all - Try a business, try a new ministry, try a spiritual gift, try a job, try a new route to work… try a new investment, try a new exercise or sport… But in all things, in all areas try- sew new seed.      And Remember:  you will be old someday and wish you had taken the chance and  You will be accountable to God as to what you did and did not do, so be wise in both.    you know electric scooters have taken off in the last ten years. It is reported that lime has surpassed over 250 million… but they were invented in 1915! Bad timing…  Maybe you tried something years ago and it did not take off… maybe you should try it again.  I know many business people who started in ministry… dropped out, started successful companies and now are back in ministry. They keep sowing, they keep trying. Who knows what God has in store for you… and you never will unless you keep planting your seeds! 

Seek God Before Life Gets Difficult  Cody Cargill pt 2 All of us encounter difficulties in life. For some, they are minor setbacks. But for others, it's serious and possibly even deadly. There are some people who face adversity in stride. Others, the same situation, they totally cave to the circumstances. What makes one person give up and another persevere? Is it “grit” or “attitude?” Or their personality? Well, it could be some of that, of course. But my guest today is going to share a remarkable story of relying on God to get him through adversity. And I know you will be inspired and will totally understand how YOU can face adversity from this day forward. Amen! Cody Cargill is US Air Force veteran who thought life as going great. Then, no so much… Cody was medically retired from the US Air Force but continued to have problems. Sixteen years of Nocturnal Grand Mal Seizures. But he continued to have Faith in God… Then, about one year ago, God told him to seek Him every single day, to prepare for what he was about to face.  Little did he know at the time, in 2022, he would face 5 rare brain surgeries. He almost died from one. The fact he did not die but has actually gotten better has now strengthened his Faith in God in ways he could only wish he has served God before! Amen!  When Cody reached out for an interview, I absolutely knew this was God preparing someone somewhere to follow Cody's lead and prepare NOW for what may be coming soon… At a minimum, it will help to strengthen every listeners Faith in God as well as mine!  Praise God! This is part two of a great two part interview! At what point did you receive the prompting for God to start seeking Him more diligently? You said that, prior to your first surgery this year, God did something that was so astounding, it could only “be God.”  Can you share what that was and how it affected you? Let's fast forward to the surgeries. You had a total of five surgeries in 2022. Tell us about the first three surgeries in April… Then, in July, you had two more. Share with us about those two surgeries and what happened that almost took your life? Now, you have an implant in your brain. What does that implant do for you? What message do you share with others about when life seems too hard and you they start to doubt God? Have you thought about putting this all down in a book to share with others you may never meet? Cody, this has been a very interesting testimony. I appreciate you coming on the program and sharing with us. If someone has a question or would like to reach out, maybe to do an interview such as this, how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you? I'll put links to all of this down in the show notes below. Folks, as we started the program today, I shared how everyone has tests and trials in life. Life never goes the way we plan and the path is never as smooth as we like. But Cody Cargill should serve as a huge inspiration to someone out there right now, listening to this broadcast. Amen! Cody has gone through things that most people will never experience. Some folks out there may go through things that are worse – or seem worse to those going through them at the time. But the message Cody is sharing is a universal truth – TRUST GOD. SEEK HIM,...

How was life going, what was your job and when did you begin to notice things were not “right?” What did the military doctors tell you at the time? You have been dealing with this for sixteen years. Has it always been “bad” or did it progressively get worse as time went on? At what point did the doctors tell you they may have found a way to help you? At what point did you receive the prompting for God to start seeking Him more diligently? Cody has gone through things that most people will never experience. Some folks out there may go through things that are worse – or seem worse to those going through them at the time. But the message Cody is sharing is a universal truth – TRUST GOD. SEEK HIM, with all your heart. On a consistent basis – not just when things get tough. You will find, more often than not, that God was right there all along! Amen! You were just so busy and so distracted, you did not realize He was “right there with you.” Amen!

This weekend, we are kicking off Prepare 2023. Prepare is a time when we gather as a church for 3-days of prayer and fasting. Prepare is intentionally placed at the beginning of January each year so we can seek God first for all that He has for us. We invite you to join us as Pastor Jeff kicks off Prepare with our word for the year. ---Pastor Jeff LittleInteractive message notes for this message:https://notes.subsplash.com/fill-in/view?page=rgv6Vp6YPExSReaching People.

As we enter this brand new year and this brand new season, it's time that we remember that when we intentionally draw near to the Lord and seek Him, He rewards us. Join us for The Seeker's Reward, our first series of 2023 that runs alongside our SEEK: 21 Days of Prayer and Fasting. In this sermon, Pastor Lee begins our series with reminding us the “why” behind our prayer and our fasting. Hebrews 11:6 “And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.” Matthew 6:6 “But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.” What is a Seeker? Someone searching, looking or pursuing a greater proximity to God's Presence; someone who has set their heart on a journey. What is the Reward? He is. The Seeker's Reward is receiving more of Him, with every step made in His direction. 3 keys to saying “yes” to God's invitation: 1. Seek God first (law of priority - reading God's word first) 2. Seek God often (habitually - developing an appetite for God) 3. Seek God together (community - we grow best together - hunger stirs hunger)

We Must Seek God's Pure's Word/Will! ---rahardin.com-Bio, Pods,Videos-Books: Amazon.com/Richard-A-Hardin/e/B09J2YHCVB ----Wedi - 7AM CST Are you seeking and hoping to find God's perfect will about some specific area of very important concern? Listen to how Abraham's chief servant found God's perfect will to find Abraham' son Isaac God's perfect wife. Neither Abraham or Isaac were involved in the search for his wife, yet Isaac received God's special choice for him to marry Rebekah. This story shows the servant's dedication to finding God's perfect will and woman for his master's son, Isaac. Wouldn't it be neat if we all knew that God had handpicked our mates before we got married? God does have a special calling on each of our lives, and that includes a special mate(helpmate) to help us fulfill His calling.If you are seeking a mate, job, or whatever- start seeking God's special calling of service, and you will meet someone else seeking God's special calling for their life. The two of you will soon realize that each of you can help the other with their calling. On @KLRNRadio.com 7AM Mon #GPWF #Christian or anytime at rahardin.com (radio)

Pastor Brian leads us in a unique service asking us, and challenging us, to have a vision, determine what we're believing God for, and who we are believing God for. Pastor Brian lays out a vision and what Thrive is believing for and who Thrive is believing for.  Where there is no vision, the people perish; Proverbs 29:18a ESV Join us in these three questions. Seek God's counsel and direction.  What is your vision? What are you believing God for?  Who are you believing God for? 

Happy New Year Fathom Church! Life is short. God’s ways are given. God’s Will is better. Seek God’s Will for you today. Now worrying about what is next, but focusing on what is now! Check out more from Fathom Church here.

Message for 01/01/2023 "Seek God First" by Justin McTeer. *All verses are NLT unless otherwise noted* Matthew 6:25-34 - Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? 26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27 Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life 28 “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29 Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 30 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith? 31 So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?' or ‘What shall we drink?' or ‘What shall we wear?' 32 For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. Matthew 6:10 your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. 1 Timothy 4:8 - Physical training is good, but training for godliness is much better, promising benefits in this life and in the life to come James 1:17a - Whatever is good and perfect is a gift coming down to us from God our Father,

The Christmas season can be crazy busy with shopping, presents, and parties. Or it can be crazy hard, with difficult relationships, anxiety, and depression. It's not a stretch to say we're all feeling a little stressed.

What are you setting your mind on? It is so easy to get caught up in the cares and anxieties of “normal life.” However Romans 14:17 says, “the kingdom of God is…righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit”. Setting our mind on the Lord and His word produces “kingdom thoughts” in us - and these thoughts are characterized by peace, joy, and rightness with God!Do you really believe that your heavenly Father cares for you? And with that, do you really believe that He knows about the needs that you have?

What do you think about yourself, especially compared to others? How we answer that question reveals a lot about us. Because, Pastor Mike says, God will flip it: God will smash the pride of people who think they're so good. And those who know they're not will be raised up.

Why is it so hard for us to pray? If we believe in God and know he can change things, why do we end up praying so little? If we're honest, Pastor Mike says, maybe it's because it's hard to believe prayer really works. Pastor Mike opens up the Bible to an account in the gospel of Luke that teaches us valuable lessons about the power of prayer.When you give to our $150,000 Challenge Grant by December 31, you'll receive an inspiring set of resources: a 2023 Seek God wall calendar featuring a powerful  Bible passage and encouraging thought from Pastor Mike each month AND The Best of 2022 DVD.

As we head into the Christmas season, we can find ourselves doubting. Did a virgin really give birth to God's Son? Did Jesus really die on a cross, rise on the third day, then float up to heaven? And if I believe in him, I'll get to go to heaven? Pastor Mike wrestles with this tension: we prefer not to have doubts about our faith and God, but so many questions like these pop into our minds. Through four verses in the gospel of Luke, Pastor Mike gives us six good reasons to have zero doubts about Jesus.When you give to our $150,000 Challenge Grant by December 31, you'll receive an inspiring set of resources: a 2023 Seek God wall calendar featuring a powerful  Bible passage and encouraging thought from Pastor Mike each month AND The Best of 2022 DVD.
