God is the ultimate Father. In every circumstance, He deals with me as a father with a child, interested only in my well-being and growth. I bear His Name and His image; He wants me to do it well. His correction helps me look more like Him.
Happy Thanksgiving from the Stokes
Happy Thanksgiving, Friend. We are especially grateful for you.
Sunday Supernaturally
He’s Jesus, and we’re not. But He did say, “In that day you will ask in my name, and I do not say to you that I will ask the Father on your behalf; for the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me and have believed that I came from God. (John 16:26-27 ESV)” Let’s try it out today.
Sunday Supernaturally: Presence on Purpose
Most of us begin our services with worship music of some sort. One of the reasons we do this is to invite the Presence of God into our midst in a tangible way. He enthrones Himself on the praises of His people.
Sunday Supernaturally: Called, Separated, Gathered
The word "Church" conjures up different pictures and emotions for everyone, usually depending on personal experience with some group. I’ve come to believe that many of us have drifted a bit from the original intent.
Sunday Supernaturally: The Fount of All Provision
If we’re led by need, we’re subject to being led by the source of all lack. We want to be led by the fount of all provision. Start at the throne, then go into the world.
Sunday Supernaturally: Appreciate the Gift
This is Pastor Appreciation Month. I’ve always appreciated the 3-step outline that Paul gave to the Thessalonians. If you want to fully enjoy the gift of God in your pastor, try these three things.
Sunday Supernaturally: Sealed!
As you head to the gathering of the saints, be alert to what God is doing in your heart. He is in you, He has marked you, and He wants you to know so.
Sunday Supernaturally, Special Edition: PRAY!
Please pray for Israel. There's not much else to say.

"That’s what I’m praying for in our land: A church full of hungry hearts. I’ve seen what happens when people genuinely get hungry for God – He shows up! Lord, give us hungry hearts!"
