Walking Together with Dennis Leavell
by Dennis Leavell
When your God is too small, your problems are too big, and you retreat into fear and insecurity. But when your God is great, your problems pale into insignificance. How big is your God? Big enough to intervene? Big enough to be trusted? Big enough to be held in awe and ultimate respect? Big enough to erase your worries and replace them with peace?Remember: the more you know God, the bigger He becomes.

Faith without a backup plan
What do you do when you’ve told everyone that God is faithful… and then your faith gets tested? In Ezra 8, Ezra faces a dangerous journey and a very awkward dilemma. He could put his confidence in the king’s protection—or trust the God he had already declared to be good. Sometimes God moves us…

MORE!
We live in an imperfect world with imperfect people, and somehow we have the idea that more stuff, more applause, more attention, or more pleasure will fill that void. Jesus speaks to a Samaritan woman who was in search of MORE. Where are you in your journey for "more"? Listen in an be encouraged.

Love people... but trust God

From full of fear... to full of self

6 Days of Silence
God gave Moses a command to go up to Mt. Sinai and WAIT for Him. Moses obeyed, but it took 6 days before God actually said anything to him. The Bible doesn’t even say how long he was supposed to wait. He was just supposed to WAIT. That’s it. The practical lesson here is that he didn’t give up IN...
