For Steve Krier, it was in his late teens.

In his most recent article, he talks about training up our next generation of ministry leaders and church planters NOW, not later.

‘Better together’ – a phrase we use to summarize the truth of our unity with Christ that also unites us to each other. This unity to Christ and with each other gives us the ability to walk in confidence when sharing the good news of Jesus!

How can you go out into the world daily and proclaim the Gospel? How can we help others grow in love?

Are you in need of guidance in this area of your walk with Christ? Join us at our Cultivate Conference in September to learn more about how to disciple others, and grow in your own faith!

After unprecedented rainfall, communities in eastern SD and western IA are left grappling with the effects of devastating floods.

Homes and businesses have been lost, leaving families in urgent need of support. As they work tirelessly to recover, we can make a real difference by standing with the people of these communities and showing them the love of Christ through our commitment to bring aid in their time of need!

Regarding disaster relief, let us be encouraged by Paul’s words in Titus 3:14: “Let our people also learn to maintain good works and to meet urgent needs, that they may not be unfruitful.”

How can we glorify God today? 1 Corinthians 10:31 tells us, “So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.”

May our interactions with the people God brings into our lives today, and every day bring glory to him!

On Father’s Day we celebrate the men in our lives on earth who have influenced us greatly, but let us rejoice in the beautiful picture of fatherhood we’re given through Christ’s example.

Our heavenly Father loves and blesses his adopted children beyond measure! We see this in reading Romans 8:15-17.

“For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. 15 For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!” 16 The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, 17 and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, provided we suffer with him so that we may also be glorified with him.”
