Seeking the Lord’s Presence Like Moses
Moses had this tent of meeting and found the presence of the Lord in the wilderness. Are you setting your time apart to find the presence of the Lord? What is your meeting tent? What is your wilderness.
There Is More
No matter where we are in our lives and in our walk with God, there is always more of Jesus available to us. We don’t earn more of God’s presence in our lives. Instead, as we spend time with God and invite him into every area of our lives, he is faithful to meet us and to share more of his goodness with us.
Getting Outside

Worship as Spiritual Warfare
In moments of hardship, our first reaction is often to plead with God for help. However, we can instead choose a different path, where we worship God and declare his goodness even in the midst of trials. Worship is not only an act of faith, but it’s also a way to invite the kingdom of heaven into our situation. When we praise God, we are agreeing with Jesus’s words: “take heart; I have overcome the world” (John 16:33).
A True Heart of Worship
Worship is not just something we do on Sundays. It’s not just a matter of singing and dancing; it’s about honoring God with our whole being. As Jesus explained to the woman at the well (John 4:23-24), we must learn to worship God, not in any one specific place or way, but "in Spirit and in truth."
Living a Life Like Moses
Moses spent time with the Lord and built deep relationship with Him, but through Jesus the veil has been torn away and we too can have deep relationship with the Lord. How are you spending time withe Lord like Moses did?
Blessed Are the Poor in Spirit
In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus opens by saying, “Blessed are the poor in Spirit.” One of the first and most critical lessons for us in engaging with the Spirit of God is learning to count ourselves as spiritually small and acknowledging that God is really big and really good. As we grow in humility, we learn to put the plans of God above our own plans, and we grow closer to God in the process.
The Preeminence of Christ
We are blessed to serve a God who is so much bigger than we can fully understand. Whatever we may face in life, our walk with God doesn’t hinge on how much we understand or how much we produce, but on trusting in how big he is and exercising faith in relationship with him. In order to keep growing in both our calling and in the knowledge of God, we must learn to make Jesus preeminent in every area of our lives, especially the areas that feel big or difficult for us.
Who is Jesus to You?
Is Jesus big or small to you? Do you believe that Jesus is working in your life even when you are in the wilderness? (Matthew 16:25)
He Makes Our Paths Straight
There are times in life when the Lord convicts us or speaks very clearly to go in one direction or another. Even so, God doesn’t expect our lives to become a script, where we only carry out specific orders from him. Instead, God invites us into a relationship where we walk with him and make decisions with him, and he breathes life into us wherever we go.
Climbing Mountains with God
As we follow Jesus, we will all encounter areas of life where we struggle to live in freedom and walk in alignment with what God says is good. We were designed to overcome these struggles with the help of the Holy Spirit who works in us. When we fail or have trouble overcoming, God is not disappointed in us, and he doesn’t want us to give up. Every setback is an opportunity to learn how to keep trusting God and keep persevering, until one day the Lord leads us up the mountain and into a new level of freedom and intimacy with him.
Discovering the Joy of Jesus
What does life look like with the perspective of joy that Jesus has?
Testimony: Salvation for the Whole Family
Serena shares a testimony of how her parents recently encountered Jesus. After decades of prayer, God was faithful to bring her family together and to bless them with new life.
The Good Shepherd
In John 10, Jesus says that as the good shepherd, he comes to the defense of his sheep when they are in trouble. In all the highs and lows of life, our heart posture as his sheep should be to lean on God and trust him. His power and his blood are enough to lead us through anything that may come our way.
Retreat With The Lord
In our busy lives the Lord asks that we spend time with him alone. Are you retreating with the Lord?
