Prayer is more a matter of heart than outward expression – so you can pray in any posture and you can praise the Lord in any posture.
Jesus has called us to love the cities where we are rooted and radically love the people who are far from Him.
God is great AND God is good. It means that God has all power to help you AND that God is utterly for you – 100 percent, fully, utterly for your good. The cross of Jesus Christ proves that He came for your good. The resurrection proves that He has power for your good. All it takes to trust God is to know that He is for your good and that He is able to bring about the good.
It’s not what you have in hand that matters most – it’s what you hand off. It’s good news because it means that you don’t have to have it all, do it all, get it all, experience it all, accomplish it all in order to be fulfilled. Sometimes just seeing the Promised Land gives you more than enough joy.
In the Christian community, there is an extraordinary, life changing gift available – our growth is not limited by the experience and relationship we have had with our parents alone – there is a larger family, and there are spiritual parents – spiritual mothers and fathers who, when invested in us and received by us, are God’s gifts for our healing and growth so that we can likewise be a spiritual parent to someone else.
The only thing that can keep you from reaping is giving up – and that’s good news because you don’t have to give up. You can’t make it rain. You can’t make things grow. God does all that. But one thing you do get to decide is whether you are going to give up.
It is the same as last week: Most of the good things in your life came because God put someone in your life before you, and the more you know it to be true, the more thankful, and joyful and fruitful you become.

Generational sin has an expiration date, but God’s love does not. Curse comes to an end, but blessing goes on and on and on.
God commands us to remember not only because it reminds us of His faithfulness in the past, but it also assures us of his unfailing commitment to our future.
God the omnipotent Creator of all that exists, made this world perfectly, gloriously, declaring over and over – it is good, it is good, it is good and then, in a breath-taking act of trust and partnership that must have stunned the onlooking angels, God told the man and the woman, to take dominion over the created order – in effect, God said, “the world is yours! It is your garden, your territory, your world to tame, to subdue, to master.” It is not only a mesmerizing thought, this delegated aut...
You are made for increase. God designed this world, and you, for the increase of all that is good. He really wants all things to get better and better for you and for every good thing in your life to grow while you are here and long after you are gone.
There are God-given blessings, virtues, and gifts in you that the Lord loves so much that He’d like all that good in you to multiply and multiply until it fills the earth.
The blessing and mandate given to Adam and Eve has never been revoked – rather, in Christ, the curse has been redeemed and we, in a deeper, more far-reaching spiritual way, are the recipients of God’s blessing to humanity.
Jesus is king. A king in whom you can believe. A king you can build your New Year upon.
Join Pastor Alan Wright for this special Christmas Eve message. As we gather to celebrate the birth of Jesus, we delve into the timeless truth that amidst the grandeur of the season, He remains the ultimate reason for our joy and reverence.
That baby in Bethlehem was born to be king. The king of kings. The best king. The perfect king. The Righteous King. He came to be your king.
Welcome to the first Sunday of Advent! Are you ready for some good news? If you are in Christ, you are no longer in Adam, the man who sinned and was removed from the presence of God; you are in the second Adam, the man who never sinned and gave you renewed, forever fellowship with God.
The secret to living a life full of thanksgiving is simply an issue of focus. The more you focus on glorifying God, the more your thankfulness increases.
After studying Romans for a year, if you can’t remember anything else, all you need to do is just … wow.
Are you ready for some good news? The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet.
God made humans male and female – and He celebrated His creation. He prizes men. And He prizes women. He infinitely treasures men and infinitely treasures women. In a world that has not, and still does not, treasure women equally and treat women equally, hell has successfully disseminated a horrible deception that says, “Christianity has been and still is bad for women.” And, in a different sort of message today, I feel called to show you otherwise. I want to prove to you that the Gospel is and ...
Through the power and mystery of God’s grace at work in us, there is a way that our duty to serve becomes our pleasure to serve.
While we know we will face trials of many kinds, as a follower of Jesus you also know you are never alone. We aren’t kept from the battle - we are joined in the battle.
The Lord is a God of hope and He wants to fill you with all joy and peace through your believing so that the power of the Holy Spirit may cause you to abound in hope. He doesn’t just want you to have a flicker of hope – He wants hope blazing on the inside of you. He doesn’t just want you to have a taste of hope – He wants you to be feasting on hope.
We can aim to love and put others’ desires and needs before ours because Jesus has done that very thing for us – it means that we can aim to please others without becoming people pleasers.
Are you ready for some Good News? One of the benefits of believing in Jesus is that you now have the freedom to serve others in ways that might just surprise you!
In Christ, God accepts you. He doesn’t agree with you on everything. He doesn’t approve of everything in your life. But, if you are in Christ, God accepts you and loves you. He wants to help you grow. He wants your life to be better, more spiritually rich and more conformed to the image of His Son. But He doesn’t nitpick you. He doesn’t look down on you because you are doing everything right. He accepts you. Therefore, you can be that same way with everyone in your life.
The long dark night is nearly over; you stand on the edge of dawn. The season for slumber and the deeds only done in darkness has passed – you can now wake up, leave your pajamas behind, and put on the armor of light. Beloved, you can put on the Lord Jesus Christ. More at reynoldachurch.org
