Ladies, Last Call to Join Us for the Mighty Women of Valor NYSB Online Course on 11/8

“I think my faith certainly went up a notch. I was reminded of just how good God is.” – Abounding Faith NYSB Online Course Student

And just like that it’s a wrap for our seven weeks together for the Abounding Faith online course. What an honor it was for me to get to teach this class for the third time!

The above quote is such a blessing to me .. the fact that one of the students joined us while on vacation in the Dominican Republic was such a blessing and speaks volumes!

The fact that another student is going to recommend the Abounding Faith book to her Women’s Ministry is another blessing and also speaks volumes!

Couldn’t join us this semester? You can grab copies of the uplifting Abounding Faith: 30 Bible Heroes Who Will Inspire You to Believe God for the Impossible devotional on Amazon.

And Ladies, my next online class through the NYSB starts on the evening of next TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 8. Don’t miss it. Join us for the Mighty Women of Valor online class from wherever you are in the world.

Are You Growing in Your Faith?

5 Lessons from the Grapes

“Are You Growing?”

My late Senior Pastor used to love asking the congregation that question.

Pastor J knew and stressed the importance of growing and maturing in the Lord (and in different areas of our life). He emphasized that God wanted His children to grow and mature just like earthly parents expect their kids to grow and mature and develop.

How do we grow in our faith?

Some key ways are by consistently spending time reading the Bible and praying and worshipping and fellowshipping with other believers.

It’s that simple and yet that challenging …

If you’re one of my faithful Readers, you probably already know that God likes to show me things through nature.

I’m sharing the above pics of grapes because these pics speak volumes to me.

I took the pics on three separate occasions earlier this year to document the growth process.

The grapes show some truths about growth:

  • Growth takes time.
  • Growth happens in stages or seasons.
  • Growth happens as we stay connected to the vine.
  • Growth can be painful, but pruning is a necessary part of the process.
  • Growth happens on God’s timetable. We can’t rush the process.

The grapes didn’t grow overnight.

Neither do we.

Are you growing in your faith?

Or are you feeling stuck or stagnant?

Are you staying connected to the True Vine?

Consider what Jesus says about abiding in Him. These are some of my favorite Bible verses:

“I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful. You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me.

“I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. If you do not remain in me, you are like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned. If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. This is to my Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples. (John 15:1-8 NIV)

If you’re looking to grow in your faith, here are a few ways I can help:
