The hope of salvation and eternal life with Jesus, the forgiveness of our sins, and the promise of the Holy Spirit to guide us are gifts that hold the greatest value and can never be destroyed or taken away from us. Christ’s death on the cross and His resurrection are the best blessings we could ever receive … and we've done nothing to earn them.

Our motivation for obedience to God should never be our desire for blessings but rather our love for God and gratitude for the sacrifice of His Son, Jesus.

Sandy Johnson

…the last 11 weeks have shown me that there are some things in my life that shouldn’t be normal. Things I should say no to. People I need to say no to. Other things that I need to prioritize to make more important.

May 1 Breaking the Patterns

Sandy Johnson

Quote

We probably all have some patterns that we need to break. Some relationships that need to be put aside. Some things that need less of our attention so that we can focus on what’s most important.

It will take courage to make the changes as we crave our return to normal. But it will be worth it.
