Where Does My Help Come From? (pt 2)

Tuesday Apr 12, 2022

Psalm 121:1 says "I lift up my eyes to the mountains, where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.” Remember where your hope comes from and he will watch over you. God has got your back, no matter what it is you’re going through right now.

Where Does My Help Come From? (pt 1)

Monday Apr 11, 2022

Hmmmm… Hamburger Helper? When Greg owned a grocery store, he was shocked at how much Hamburger Helper they sold. Psalm 121 is a short chapter, only 8 verses. Yet, these 8 verses are full of hope and God’s promise of help, and it’s much better than the stuff you buy at the grocery store. John 14:26 says “But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.”

Join Greg as he digs into Romans 12:9-21. God never runs out of blessings. There are more than plenty to go around. Greg finishes pointing out 8 things to help us look, live and love like Jesus.

Did God Really Say That? (pt 2)

Tuesday Apr 05, 2022

Greg is challenging us this week to get out of our comfort zones. Let’s examine God’s commands in Romans 12:9-21 together. “Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.” -Ralph Waldo Emerson Did God really say to bless those who persecute us? That is very uncomfortable but Jesus asks us to do this. How in the world are we supposed to be able to follow these sayings? Let’s keep looking at 8 things that help us look, live and love like Jesus.

Is it time to refocus? What are you doing with your one and only life? Join Greg as he digs into Romans 12:9-21 and points out 8 things to help us look, live and love like Jesus.

It may get uncomfortable but God is more concerned about our character than our comfort. Hang in there… there’s hope.

Plans for You (pt 1)

Monday Mar 28, 2022

Last May, Greg was interviewed for a TV program called “Bloom Today” in Marietta, GA. That’s where he met a fellow guest on the show, Amber Davis. Amber joins today’s broadcast from the Nashville, Tennessee area. Satan wants to take us out and one of the ways he does that is by distracting us from doing what God has called us to do. Jeremiah 29:11 reminds us that God has plans for you.

I’ll Leave the Light on For You! (pt 2)

Friday Mar 25, 2022

Peace doesn’t mean you don’t have problems; it means the problems don’t have you. Prayer is the bridge between panic and peace. God goes ahead of us, he is with us. He has left the light on for us to help us find our way in the darkness. There is nothing that can keep God from pursuing a relationship with you. Find comfort today in knowing that God is welcoming you, He’s expecting you, He is with you.

I’ll Leave the Light on For You! (pt 1)

Thursday Mar 24, 2022

“I’m Tom Bodett for Motel 6 and we’ll leave the light on for you.” Do you remember those Motel 6 commercials? There’s something comforting about Tom Bodett telling us that he’s leaving that light on for us, isn’t it? He’s expecting us, we’re welcome there. Well, God is offering comfort beyond understanding. Let’s look at Psalm 139:1-18 over the next couple of days.

Vertical First, Then Horizontal (pt 3)

Wednesday Mar 23, 2022

When you focus vertically first, everything on the horizontal gets better. Look up first, then listen. Isaiah 55:3 says “Give ear and come to me; listen, that you may live…” God is wanting to speak to you, but you’ll miss it if you’re not listening. When we seek God, we find mercy and grace. Who doesn’t need some grace and mercy in their lives? Tune in to today’s broadcast as Greg digs deeper into this passage in Isaiah 55.

Vertical First, Then Horizontal (pt 2)

Tuesday Mar 22, 2022

What is your source of peace and fulfillment? If you’re looking for it horizontally, you will never find it. The vertical relationship in our life is the only thing that can quench our thirst. The vertical relationship you have with God is a wise investment. What does that mean? Well, I’m glad you asked. Tune in!

Vertical First, Then Horizontal (pt 1)

Monday Mar 21, 2022

When we look vertical first, putting God first, it changes everything. Sometimes we forget this. But how do we nurture that vertical relationship with God first? And how does that make our horizontal relationships better? The enemy loves it when we are stuck. We are never too far from the loving arms of our Savior. Join Greg today as he looks at wisdom from Isaiah 55:1-9.
