Stepping Into New Abundance
Friend, it’s time for you to leave the past behind and move forward into a new place of freedom and victory. The problems of the “now” don’t have to hold you back from God’s awesome promise for your future (Jeremiah 29:11). If you’re a believer, greatness is your calling, and abundance is your portion!
Yes, the world is filled with calamity, and the devil would like to shake your faith. But if…
Dancing for the Glory of God (Part 2)
John Farrell: I was reading the bios of the staff at Ballet Magnificat and it was impressive to see that most had some type of previous training at Ballet Magnificat. It was really cool to see that they not only had been students, but now they were back as faculty or administration. That just goes a long way in showing that there are people that believe in what you’re doing and it’s an awesome…

Champion: Learn to Forgive
I used to work for NASCAR for seven years. When I left NASCAR back in 2014, I went to work for Lionel (the model train company), but after a year of working on Lionel’s train business, I transferred to Lionel Racing, which designs and produces NASCAR- and NHRA-licensed diecast cars.

Are You Snared by the Words of Your Mouth?
We all have promises and blessings that we’re hoping for and believing in.
But sometimes it seems as though nothing is changing in our lives, and instead of staying focused on the promise of God’s blessings, we talk ourselves out of what we know to be true. We find ourselves saying things like, “I’ll never get that job” or “My husband will never come to Christ.”
Our words end up keeping us…

Break Through
Excerpt from Break Through by David Cerullo
Embrace the Lord of Breakthroughs
The closer you get to God, the closer you will be to your breakthrough. How do we know this? Because the Bible describes Him as “the Lord of Breakthroughs” or “the Lord who bursts through” (1 Chronicles 14:10-11 NLT).
Too often, people seek a breakthrough of some kind without first seeking the Lord. They need a…
The Greatest Gift of All
All of us face challenging situations. The comfort is in knowing that you’re not alone, and you don’t need to be afraid. Jesus can penetrate your dark days with “good news” and “great joy”:
“Do not be afraid; for behold, I bring good news of great joy which will be for all the people” (Luke 2:10).
God doesn’t promise we’ll always have an easy life, but He DOES promise to be with you throughout…

As a conquering hero, Julius Caesar galvanized the Roman community, particularly after leading his armies to victory in battles in Spain. Returning to Rome in 45 BC, he was…
The Role of Faith in Shaping Our Nation
On this Fourth of July, let us reflect on the significance of this day in our nation’s history. Independence Day is a time to celebrate our country’s freedom and the values that make it great. However, as we enjoy the fireworks and barbecues, it’s important to remember the deeper meaning behind this holiday and the role that faith has played in shaping our nation.
In Galatians 5:1, the Apostle…
