I’m Not Super Woman
As a little girl I remember watching the TV screen with child-like awe. Wonder Woman was my hero.

Me Obey Him - Are You Kidding?
Remember the traditional wedding vows when the preacher asks the bride, “Will you love, honor, and obey?” “Me obey him – are you kidding?” is not an unusual response in today’s culture.

You Were Born For Such a Time as This
Have you ever been placed in a position of influence to affect someone in a positive way or make a significant difference in the life or lives of others?

Our Sigular Focus
Jesus’ earthly ministry was anything but predictable. Religious leaders were often rebuked for their hypocrisy while the hurting were healed supernaturally. But it is in the unexpected that God often teaches us some of the more profound truths about His nature and character. This is also true of Jesus’ ministry. In Luke 5:12-16, Luke records that “While...
