In the midst of Change and Trial, Jesus Never Faltered
It’s amazing how quickly life can change. We live in a fast paced, and the life we live can be very unpredictable. Circumstances can change, people can change, and of course, we all know how quickly the weather can change. With sudden change often comes a sense of uncertainty or insecurity.

Profile picture for user Dr. Mike Edwards
By Dr. Mike Edwards, Friday, April 12, 2019
God Wants to Use You
Recently I found myself looking out my cabin window at a beautiful, fresh Northern Arizona snowfall. I was in that place of great natural beauty to preach to a group of Christian men, challenging them to allow the Lord to use them in even greater ways.

It’s Time for a Heart to Heart

Profile picture for user Sharon Rabon

4 Lessons from Jericho

Profile picture for user Scott Wendal
By Scott Wendal, Monday, March 25, 2019

Over the years archaeologists have come to differing conclusions about Jericho. Jericho is the second most excavated city in the land of Jericho, second only to Jerusalem. The 9-acre Tel (or mound) has been examined by Germans, British, Americans, Palestinians, and Israelis.
