Transformation begins when we choose not to live for ourselves and choose to live for Jesus. When we have a true assessment of ourselves based on Scripture and realize that we have been given the honor to serve others, transformation takes place and "It is no longer I who lives, but Christ lives in me. " Galatians 2:20 By Dave Bartlett

In the words of Charles Spurgeon..."I have now concentrated all my prayers into one, and that one prayer is this, that I may die to self, and live wholly to Him."  May that be the desire of our heart's to pray the same.  By Brook Stockert

We like Moses have been called by God to follow faithfully and fulfill our purpose for His kingdom and glory. We are to run the race marked out for us, with perseverance, keeping our eyes on Jesus. It's not how we start that matters the most, its how we finish. Finish well! By Dave Bartlett

Change is inevitable, whether we deem it good or bad, it will always happen. We can find great encouragement and assurance in knowing that God is omniscient and omnipresent. He knows what is to come even though we don't and He will always be with us to guide us and walk with us when the winds of change come.  By Dave Bartlett

God's plan for rescuing the Children of Israel out of slavery was not simply to move them into a new country, it was to bring them into a new way of living. He chose them to be His nation, His treasured position and to become a beacon of hope to other nations. He desired for them to take a step toward a new mindset, that they were no longer slaves to the ways of Egypt but now they can trust and rely on God's presence, power and provision. He is asking us to take the next step in trusting and relying on Him to faithfully be all we need Him to be. By Dave Bartlett

The most important question that the Lord asks, is, will you give Me your whole entire heart? There is only one probable answer that leads to an abundant life and that of course is...Yes!! By Dave Bartlett

Moses words to the Children of Israel then, are very timely for us today. He reminds them of God's faithfulness and urges them to remember all that God has done for them. To guard against pride, remain humble and continue to be grateful, recognizing that it is God that brought them out of slavery and made them His chosen people. He deserves the glory for all He has done for His people then and for all He does for us today. By Dave Bartlett

These verses called the Shema, which means to "hear," were foundational to Israel's relationship with Yahweh as a nation and as individuals, just as they are for us today.  It commanded Israel and commands us to acknowledge His oneness, love Him completely with our entire being, live His commands, diligently teach them to our children, and incorporate them into daily life. The most important question we can ask ourself each day..."Is loving God at the center of my life?" By Dave Bartlett

To whom shall we go? The best and only answer to that question is the Lord. He is the living water that satisfies and refreshes our souls.  Whatever difficult situations we may encounter, we can find rest in knowing that He is always faithful, is always with us and will always bring us through.   By Dave Bartlett

As God's redeemed people, may we consistently remind ourselves of all that He has done for us. Guard ourselves from replacing Him with the idolatry of ourselves and walk circumspectly in faithfulness to Him.    By Dave Bartlett

This message is a hope "checkup" with the Great Physician. It reminds us of all the good news that enables us to have hope in the midst of a struggling world.  By Jenny Nipper

We tend to spend a good portion of our lives experiencing times of trials, which means we need to expect them. We also need to understand that God uses them to accomplish His purposes in us. We can trust, that what He promises He will do through them in us, He will. The trials and tests God allows, can cause our faith to grow, become stronger and reveal to others that He is the One True Glorious God! By Dave Bartlett

John emphasis that eternal life is not something that can be earned through good deeds, which has been deep-seated in many of us. When we truly believe that It is a free gift from God, paid for by the blood of His Son, we live in total and complete assurance.  By Dave Bartlett

Peter outlines for us seven foundational virtues given to us by the Holy Spirit. As followers of Jesus, we are called to diligently build up our faith by developing and putting these virtues into practice, which will ensure a growing faith and a victorious, eternal reward. By Dave Bartlett

God has shown us a grace that prevails , a persistent, dominant and effective grace that we by no means deserve. This same wonderful, unmerited grace, is what He has called us to live out and to extend to others the same way He has graciously bestowed it upon us.  By Dave Bartlett
