Looking for Your Purpose?
Connecting people to their God-given purpose is, in my opinion, the primary responsibility of every leader in ministry. And when I say leader, I mean pastor, teacher, evangelist, apostle, prophet and any type of leadership role that exist in church today. Within this responsibility is every form of discipleship. And the goal of discipleship is…

What if God did for you as He did for King Solomon? He appeared to Solomon, in his dream, and basically granted him a wish! (1 Kings 3:5). Seriously, what would you do? What would you ask for? We all want to think we would do the same as Solomon. To make you feel better,…

The pursuit of our God-given purpose should be our primary endeavor in life. With it comes prayer, worship,…

At what speed does your life travel? For many, life seems to travel at the speed of light. The busier life gets, the faster it becomes. And the busier we become, the more results we’ll require. Requiring more results traps us in being consumers instead of producers. Here’s the catch… Life should not travel at…
