Pastor Mandy on Abundant Life. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly" (John 10:10). Tuesday, May 28, 2013. Going Beyond What We Know. We do what we know. Cooking is an excellent example. We often cook like those who cooked for us. “It’s a family recipe! Once we are convinced that we don’t simply have to do what we know, when we are willing to let God stretch us and grow us, life becomes one big opportunity. On the one hand, this is exciting! A leap of faith is putting yourself out there, ...

Pastor Mandy on Abundant Life. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly" (John 10:10). Wednesday, August 1, 2012. How Is This Ever Going To Work Out? Can you imagine that? Being lost, afraid, desperate, and thinking to yourself, “How are we ever going to get out of here? How are we ever going to make it? Who will rescue us?

Pastor Mandy on Abundant Life. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly" (John 10:10). Tuesday, July 24, 2012. When we are caught in-between, it’s best to just take things slow. To give ourselves time to figure out what we want, and then, to start making moves to get what we want. Jesus is caught between two places in today’s scripture. He and the disciples are caught between needing rest and dealing with the demands of the world. Who here hasn’t been in that predicament? Because we pay a he...

Pastor Mandy on Abundant Life. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly" (John 10:10). Tuesday, April 23, 2013. Spiritual Leaders of the Way. Just 3 ½ weeks ago, we recalled Jesus eating his last supper with the disciples, which was probably the worst night of his life seeing as he knew what was going to happen to him. I think the most heart-wrenching part of the story is when Peter, one of Jesus closest friends, denies knowing him three times. That moment when the Lord turned and looked at ...

Pastor Mandy on Abundant Life. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly" (John 10:10). Friday, September 7, 2012. Keep It Simple, Sweethearts. King Solomon, the supposed author of Ecclesiastes, is having a bad day, or maybe it’s a bad year. He’s greatly perplexed and completely dissatisfied and has come to a place where life just seems pointless. “Vanity of vanities! 8221; he says. “All is vanity.” Or as another translation puts it, “Meaningless!

Pastor Mandy on Abundant Life. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly" (John 10:10). Tuesday, August 27, 2013. More Thoughts on Faith. In difficult times, does your faith grow weaker or stronger? For many of us, the challenges of life make us doubt God’s power and love. We wonder where God is and why God isn’t helping us. We grow hopeless thinking that there is no help out there. Disappointment can lead to disillusionment, and disillusionment can lead to depression. That’s one wa...Mandy i...
