Perhaps church could “Let go and let God.”

Posted on September 27, 2017 by Steve Simms

Human control isn’t what it’s cracked up to be. By letting go of worship services and letting God, Himself, control and personally direct them, church can move into a supernatural dimension. Jesus wants to use you, and all of His … Continue reading →

Church without community is like spaghetti without sauce.

Posted on September 17, 2017 by Steve Simms

Church without community is like spaghetti without sauce. Church without unity is like unconnected chain links. You can’t organize or hype-up genuine Christian unity. It comes through surrendering our agendas to the Holy Spirit. If church meets around a prearranged program, … Continue reading →

Another day; another miracle

Posted on September 11, 2017 by Steve Simms

Multitudes of miracles have gone unnoticed in your life. Ask Jesus to tell you about some of the miracles you’ve overlooked. I continually see Jesus do things that drastically defy the odds of probability! When things that overwhelmingly defy probability begin to … Continue reading →

Jesus isn’t just a way maker; He, Himself, is the Way!

Posted on September 11, 2017 by Steve Simms

Sometimes people dim the light of Christ because they don’t like His brightness in their eyes. Many people block the light of Jesus with their own shadow. Then they can’t understand why their life is so dark. Since death couldn’t hold Him down; … Continue reading →
