Join Pastor Nick Cook for worship!
Sometimes we need to pause. Now is the time to un-pause.
Before you can make a horse run, you need to be able to stop the horse. If you do not unpause when God tells you to move, you are stuck. This is the time to step out, to stand.
“Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart.” Psalm 37:4. Are you ready to be spoiled?
Do not be stuck in the wilderness like the Israelites. Unpause. It is time to move.

ContinueHow we need to do ministry. Paul is an example. Our calling is the same as Paul’s, to preach God’s message to those around us. Do not lose heart. His word will defend itself. Just preach His word in love. Don’t hide any of His word. Live the Gospel honestly. Preach a Gospel of integrity….
ContinueThe Veil of the Temple and over our eyes In Exodus 7-9, the heart of Pharaoh hardening is is like a veil being place in front of the eyes of those who choose not to follow God. It is removed when we turn to God, just like the veil was rent in two upon Jesus’…
Continue“Carried to the Table”- He carries us daily. We have to ask and then let Him. Paul is comparing the two covenants- old and new. He lived under both covenants. The old show our inability to follow the law on our own. It is a ministry of death. The new covenant is grace and forgiveness…
