Trust Jesus
If God calls you on to a mission, don’t insult Him by resisting with silly excuses. As Pastor Danny will point out in today’s message, Moses did exactly that. This man experienced in a way that very few ever have. God spoke right to him and worked miracles in his life and yet when God set a task...

Are You Willing?
Take a moment and look at your life. What things has God given you from the world? The question is are you willing to use it for His work? Maybe you've got an extra seat around the table.

Actions with Consequences

Decisions = Big Implications
Moses came to a point of decision in his journey. On the one hand he can forget to choose the calling of God, rejoin Pharaohs household and enjoy a life of luxury.

The faith of a Christ follower is faith like a child's. It's not blind, a child doesn't just trust anyone but a child does trust their father. Pastor Danny reminds us today to be ready to give an answer for the hope that we have, but that answer can be as simple as a child's answer, "I have hope...

Fearless in Suffering
It takes courage to follow God. It takes courage to suffer for Him. And sometimes you can suffer so much that you'll pull back.

Lamb's Book of Life
