It’s 6:00 am, your alarm goes off, and your first thought is “another day of the same.” You get up, get yourself ready, perhaps you have kids you need to get ready and out the door to school. Maybe you need to walk the dog before you leave for work. Perhaps you have some bills that need to be … Read More
Words For 2016
Prophetic Words for 2016 Claire Dillamore January 3 Thoughts for 2016: Yesterday we went to a prayer meeting in a church in Novato, CA.

Forgiven to Forgive – Andrev Baltazar
Christmas is a time of giving for most families. Parents work hard to get extra money for the gifts that they expect to give their kids.

Who Are You? – Dustin Box
Identity. It’s a subject that fills the majority young people’s thoughts most of the time. I remember it filling mine. I heard many messages about living out of my identity. I’ve preached those messages. Yet often, people don’t stop to consider whether they have this question settled in their heart. If you ask someone who they are, it’s likely you’ll … Read More
