Live your best life
The Book of Ruth is the story of simple people who wanted a better life for themselves. But as often happens in life, things didn’t work out as planned. Decisions that looked good in the beginning can at times turn out to have negative effects we never bargained for.
Ruth’s story is an example to us that if indeed we truly put our trust in God, then we should never give up hope regardless of how bad things may appear. He is always at work on our behalf and with God, all things are possible…
Esther is one of the few books in the Old Testament that does not include a priest or prophet as one of the key characters, rather the focus is how God used an orphan girl and her uncle to deliver the Jews. Through this book we see how God divinely orchestrated events to move these unknown people to be both Queen and the second most important person in the kingdom.
Two major learning points for us are:
I pray this study blesses you as you go through the Book of Esther, and you are reminded that you serve the God of all possibilities.
“He is the Rock, His work is perfect; For all His ways are justice, A God of truth and without injustice; Righteous and upright is He.” Deuteronomy 32:4
“Good and upright is the LORD; Therefore, He teaches sinners in the way.” Psalms 25:8
“For the Lord is righteous, he loves justice; the upright will see his face.” Psalm 11:7 NIV
These are just a couple out of a number of verses in the Bible talking about
God’s character. Uprightness is clearly one of the traits used to describe God
and naturally as a Father, He expects His children to bear this trait as well. But
what exactly is uprightness? How can we tell if we’re walking in it and what
should we expect to gain from this?
I pray this study blesses you, teaches you why uprightness is key to God and causes you to prioritize being upright at all times in every aspect of your life.
Children are a gift from the LORD; they are a reward from him (Psalm 127:3). While we appreciate these precious gifts from God, we as parents/guardians/care givers also have a responsibility to nurture, raise and teach the children in our care that goes beyond the physical.
Children these days are facing many issues previous generations didn’t have to deal with, which makes it even more critical that we constantly lift our children/wards in prayer.
This series we will be looking at scriptures to pray and declare over them – their salvation, destinies, purpose, health, prosperity and so much more. Please stay connected and more importantly, participate and pray for these precious ones.
I pray this study blesses you and transforms your family as God moves in the life of your children as only He can.
Apostle Paul was a man of prayer, the author of almost half of the New Testament and a missionary, taking the Gospel of Christ to far reaching parts of the world during his lifetime.
What did he pray for and how did he pray in order to achieve these great feats? Especially as he was the only apostle who didn’t meet and walk with Jesus during His earthly ministry.
This series we will study his prayer life, focusing on key prayers identified in the Bible, also known as the ’Pauline Prayers’. These prayers have the power to transform your walk with God and your life, if you are dedicated to praying them regularly and in sincerity.

Jesus had a very hectic schedule, constantly dealing with the throngs of people that bombarded him daily looking for one thing or another. Yet, the Bible notes that there were those who managed to get the attention of Jesus despite the pressure of the crowds. There were also some key requirements He laid down for His disciples to follow.
This series we will be looking at a few of these ‘attention getters’, studying what we can learn from them and practical steps we can take to apply this to our lives.
I pray this study blesses you, positively impacts every aspect of your life and stirs up a hunger for God in you.
This series we’re looking at a very popular scripture written by David – Psalm 23 which is often quoted either in its entirety or in parts. The psalm captures the beauty of our relationship with God and the fact that we have a part to play and so does God. Psalm 23 reveals God’s heart for His children in how He wants to take care of and provide the very best for us, how we should relate to Him and how He expects us to relate with others through what He’s given us.
We’re taking a deep dive as we look at the psalm verse by verse to unlock some of the treasures in the word – there’s so much more than this study has captured. We encourage you to go through the psalm deeply yourself, asking the Holy Spirit to guide you and reveal His truth to you through what He shows you.
In looking at the life of Paul we see a man who went from being a zealous persecutor of Christ’s followers to a passionate apostle, ready and willing to do whatever was required to spread the gospel of Christ. He was also responsible for writing the majority of the New Testament – either by himself or through those he trained.
How did he do it? What sustained his strength and courage in the middle of all the opposition? How do we apply these in our lives.

God said David was a man after His heart, Moses and Abraham he called His friends. What was it about these men that set them apart? What examples have they left us to follow? How do we learn from their mistakes, so we don’t make the same ones?
This series we’re looking at the lives of two men who took bold steps for God and changed the lives of the Israelites, in spite of the fear they felt – Joshua and Gideon.
Both realised that in their own strength they were ill-equipped to fulfill the assignment God gave them and so relied heavily on God to succeed. Yes, mistakes were made and they had to be encouraged over and over not to be afraid even as they moved forward. Very normal people like you and I, so we have a lot to learn from them.
