We sometimes fail to understand that the everlasting peace Jesus promises is an inner peace, born in faith, anchored by testimony, nurtured with love, and expressed through continual obedience and repentance. It is the peace of spirit that echoes through the heart and the soul.
Join us as Rachel uncovers the importance of being transparent as a believer of Christ Jesus

In every life, some rain must fall, but behind every dark cloud, the sun is going to shine in your life after awhile. We want you to know it going to be hard sometimes; sometimes it going to feel like the weight of the world is resting on your shoulders; but I found out that God won’t put no more on you that he knows you can bear. I want to tell you and the world don’t give up and don’t turn around.
Overcoming the overwhelmed circumstances in life. There is always thankful moments. Therefore, remember not to forget what your Heavenly Father has already done for you and your family. Remember to trust God. Why? Because HE knows better than we do about what we are facing concerning our tests and trials. There is not a moment in our life journey, our future situations and our best possible outcome for our good that our God don't know about. God allows suffering to bring us closer to HIM. Our trials are not intended to punish us; instead, the trials are a test of our Faith.
Let’s just say that there was a time we weren't all that great. We are not great now, but we were so much worse. My mindset, lifestyle, physical appearance was all over the place. Basically, I was trying to find myself. I love God, but couldn't really deal with hearing about Him on a daily basis. I went to church even when I didn’t want to, today some says, if I wasn't so sleepy. Maybe you didn't really care about all the church stuff, well at least that's what you says or thinks. When you came to terms with yourself, the truth is that you never really felt worthy.
When we sat in church, we could hear judgmental voices louder than the sermon, our own conviction. You was going down this downward spiral that you couldn't control, and used things; friends, parties, etc.. to fill the void. The void could never be filled. You could never remain happy for a full week, something was always wrong. I came to realize that it was my heart, my life, my image, me. God was never the problem. When I chose to stop, and let myself look in the mirror and take in what I saw, I noticed Jesus standing right next to me. Our Heavenly Father’s Arms are wide open, ready to receive us and our crazy mess. No matter what you've done, God will always Love you, not the sins. Embrace Him back, and watch your life transform.
8:38 - Isn't it a beautiful thing that God will always love us? In Scripture, Apostle Paul states, that I am persuaded, that nothing can separate us from the love of God. Imagine the worst thing that you could ever do, and know that even that won't keep from being redeemed by the cross, our savior blood, Jesus Christ. Someone out there needs to know that God loves you.
God heard Solomon’s prayer, which indicates that there’s always hope if God’s people will fall on their knees and pray as the people did at the dedication of Solomon’s temple. We need not merely talk about prayer; we must actually pray. And, when we do, we may be able to move the hand of God to bring restoration.
Consider God’s promise to Solomon: If I shut up the sky so there is no rain, or if I command the grasshopper to consume the land, or if I send pestilence on my people, and my people, who bear my name, humble themselves, pray and seek my face, and turn from their evil ways, then I will hear from heaven, forgive their sin, and heal their land.
Pastor Tyler shares key insights on how to have a more meaningful relationship (walk) with God.
Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.
We all know the heart is just a blood-pumping muscle. Biblically speaking, the heart represents our emotional, intellectual, and moral center. We need to protect it because, as the Proverb says, everything flows from that center.
Our spiritual condition reveals itself in our actions. A believer understands this and protects their spiritual core at all cost.
Godly people are grounded in righteousness, and righteousness is its own reward. One must trust that the Lord will honor your work and sacrifice.
If you ever feel like you need a little motivation and incentive to keep plugging away, remember that the Lord could return at any moment. We don’t want him to find us slacking off.
