As I sit down to write this blog, it is the Tuesday after Easter. On this day after His resurrection what was Jesus doing? He was beginning His last days on earth until His ascension. Scripture says: "...he presented himself alive to His apostles after His suffering by many proofs, appearing to them during forty [...]

Easter 2026 has come and gone and I confess to missing my AGCC family during this precious time of the year. Although delighted to be able to celebrate once again the miracle of the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the tomb, I was hopeful that Easter 2026 would be the year that our Lord chose […]

We discovered last week in Exodus 33 that one of the greatest leaders in human history was a sinful, murdering, fearful man, yet God chose Moses to lead His chosen people out of captivity. God chose Israel, God chose Moses and God has chosen us to be His instruments to "set the captive free". God spoke to [...]

We read in Exodus of God's faithfulness to lead, speak to, and encounter Moses. We read of Moses coming before his God boldly and asking for His hand in delivering and forgiving his people." (First15 Devotional)  What kind of man was Moses that our perfect God would choose to meet with Him face-to-face? We know from [...]

Does your faith ever feel...dull? Recently, I was reading a devotional from InTouch Ministries entitled Forward by Faith. (Many of you remember this wonderful ministry of the late Charles Stanley). The author shared: "Obedience is often uncomfortable, sometimes difficult, but staying the course always leads to blessings." There is a wonderful reminder of this truth in Genesis 12 where the Lord speaks to [...]

Lots of VERY interesting things are transpiring in our world. Lots of "Wars and Rumors of War". Lots of "Gathering of nations" with common objects specific to Israel (Ezekiel 38) war.  Lots of odd things happening in the Land of Israel like the gathering of 170 some odd birds of prey staging perhaps as the "clean up crew". Foxes have appeared on the temple mount, fish have [...]

Last week we considered the importance of a passage in Philippians chapter 2 as it relates to having unshakeable joy through the challenges of life. The key is understanding the true nature of Jesus Christ, i.e. Fully God - Fully Human. When we begin to grasp this truth we understand that only our God is worthy of our [...]

Exalting the name of Jesus! Philippians 2 is a call to "Be like Jesus". INTENTIONAL men of God fully understand that we were created to be like Him (Genesis 1:26). The more we get to know Him, the more we desire to reflect His image and in doing so we exalt His name. As we get to know Him better we discover [...]

I wanted to share with you two of my favorite Scriptures as they simply define who we are in Christ and what we were created for. These two verses speak to the value and purpose of human existence; two things all human beings desperately want to understand. John 15:16 says: "You did not choose me, but I [...]

Last week I ended our conversation with the most simple of questions: What is our purpose as Human beings? Of course INTENTIONAL men of God know that answer is just as simple: We discover the answer in Mark 12:30 & 31:  "Love the Lord your God with all of your heart, soul, mind and strength, and love your neighbor as [...]
