Nurturing your relationship with Jesus is essential to navigating the various seasons of your life with grace. Throughout Scripture, we are constantly reminded to place our trust in the Lord, to abide in Him, to rest in Him and to take refuge in Him. It is in Jesus Christ that we find everything we need to live out the lives He has planned for us. We will not be successful without regularly communing with Him.

We must continually develop the discipline of communing with the Lord. We must be intentional about it, especially in the world we are living in. Our society is all about the now and the urgent: express lanes, high speed and convenience. Furthermore, the enemy does not like us to take time to slow down and spend time with the Lord, daily seeking His will for our lives. The world can be alluring, and the enemy does everything he can to distract us from experiencing the power and strength that comes from communing with the Lord. Communion with God does not happen by chance; it is a decision of the will. Make the choice to commune with God today and every day.

Why We Do What We Do

"I write to you from West Virginia, about 16 hours away by car. I'm a retired firefighter from a city here in WV. I send my sincere thank you and encouragement to all of you. Your dedication to the ministries that flow out from your support has made a difference in my life. So many times when I needed it the most, I was able to listen to God's Word preached to me by your minister, Dr. Tony Evans. The message always seems to meet my need. I didn't know I needed it until I heard the message. That's amazing to me. God knows what I need, while most of the time, the things I thought I needed were just wants. I was seeing things wrong in so many ways, and these messages cleared up my vision by making me see through spiritual eyes dedicated to the Lord Jesus. I love listening between church services. I wanted to let you all know that all of you are appreciated so much and loved. Don't give up, Church!"
