Sometimes, it is hard to clearly hear the voice of God in this life. Maybe you can relate to this situation… this distraction… this encumbrance to following God in pure child-like faith. Maybe you have never tried. I can honestly tell you that there are times that it seems as if God is very very…
That is the question, isn’t it? You wake up in the morning and begin the daily routine. Often, life is like a never-ending, bumpy airplane ride locked-in to autopilot. We (at times) seem like mindless robots wandering though this world… never thinking about the world to come. The devil has successfully placed spiritual blinders over…
I am sure that you have heard the old adage, “Be careful, it’s a jungle out there.” That is such a true statement… for many reasons. Life can sometimes seem like an old Tarzan movie.

Isn’t it interesting that often the most learned among us struggle with this simple question… “who is my neighbor?” In Luke, we recall the story of the Good Samaritan as Jesus presented it to the man who was “an expert in Moses’ Teachings.” You may want to go back and read the whole story again,…
So, it begins… yesterday, March 8, 2015… we officially started a new Mission Jackson ministry site on Hollywood Drive. The day was overcast and a little cool, but the Lord blessed us with a window of opportunity to meet on-site.
