Deliverance is a gift from God that brings freedom from sin and fear. When we turn to Him, He hears us and sets us free. As it says in Romans 6:6 (NKJV), “Knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him.” This means that through Jesus, our old ways are gone. Now, we can live in new freedom and hope. Real-Life Example of Deliverance In 2018, a group of Adventists gathered in Michigan for prayer. They spent two days... Read more

Every church needs faithful leaders who follow God’s design for leadership. That is why there is God’s Plan for Leading the Church and that matters. The Bible clearly uses the words “elder,” “pastor,” and “overseer” to describe the same office of leadership. These words reveal the full picture of what God expects from His church leaders. Elders are not just decision-makers—they are spiritual shepherds who guide, teach, and care for God’s people. Understanding this helps churches follow Scripture and avoid... Read more

Looking for Calm in a Busy World Family life can feel like a storm in today’s fast-moving world. But how God’s Word calms family storms becomes clear with faith. Families often rush through work, school, and chores, leaving little time for one another.

Prayer Builds Strength to Say No Every day brings new struggles with temptation. However, when we pray first, win later, God gives us strength. Prayer opens the door for God to help us fight sin.
