THOUGHTS FROM PASTOR ROSS

Pursue the Lord’s Will For You

We each have a mission. Read the verses above. What do you feel a tug in your heart to do? Step out and try it. You won’t know until you try. Consider Billy Graham. He felt a desire to preach and began by preaching alone in the forest before he went before people. And think […]

The Holy Spirit Draws People to God

The Holy Spirit draws us to God (John 6:44) and enables us to come to Him (John 6:65). This is clearly seen in Acts 2-3 when the Holy Spirit came and Peter, now full of the Holy Spirit, preached the Gospel. As soon as he preached the message of the Cross, the Holy Spirit convicted […]

Let the Law be the Judge

When we judge others, we will be judged by the same standard. We need to follow God ourselves and do what is right. God will judge others by His law.

God Is Jealous For Us

Many of us know what jealousy is like. I remember not being able to sleep before I was married when I heard that a girlfriend had gone out with another guy. It rips you apart with hurt and anger. I also know that I stirred this in other guys when I spent time with the […]
