Polka Player Joy
In a world full of strife, fear, and violence, how can we find joy? Is joy something we can find? Through trials and moments of beauty, serving and being served by others, through times of pruning, God has built in the ability to experience joy in every circumstance. Join Rozella Stroud, as she explores finding joy in everyday life. Scripture: Deuteronomy 31:6; John 14:1-3; Revelation 4:11; John 15:5; John 15:2; Psalm 139:1 “Polka Player Joy” preached by Rozella Stroud on…
Exploring Prayer
Prayer is the continuation of the conversation with God that started when Adam first opened his eyes. God called this conversation “very good.” Through prayer we re enter that conversation and receive forgiveness, healing and restoration to the family of God. As helpful as this is, it can also, at times, become very confusing and painful. David, Mary and Martha and Job were people in the Bible who also, at times prayed in deep pain and frustration. They found this…
Knowledge of God
Just as politicians today use lies and deceptive language to castigate their opponents, Satan used lies and misrepresented God to God’s newly created people. Satan continues to do so today. How does God get His message to those of us on earth? Scripture tells us that God is worthy of our worship because He is our creator and our redeemer and that’s what He uses to communicate His love to us. In spite of sin, nature continues to shout that…
Low Hanging Fruit
The “butterfly effect” is the theory that small causes can have large effects. A butterfly flaps its wings, and the result of just the slightest shift in the air, can cause a tornado several countries over. Based on the mathematical chaos theory, those two incidents seem quite extreme to be related. But like the ripple effect, where the smallest ripple can reach the far edges of the lake, we cannot help but affect the world and others in it simply…

Transparent Hearts
Deep heartfelt confession can be both the sweetest and the most bitter experience life brings our way. When everything in us screams “hide or be hurt!” yet our silence makes our bones waste away all day long (Psalm 32:3) we have a choice to make. We can try to disguise our failures and weaknesses through blame and shame, or we can be transparent and real, walking humbly with our God. (Micah 6:8) What will it take for our trembling hearts…
Feast of Tabernacles
The Feast of Tabernacles was the crowning feast of the year. The Feast of Tabernacles acknowledged God’s goodness for the bountiful crops that had yielded fruits, oils, and the juice from the vines. Now God’s people came with their tributes of thanksgiving to God, who had so richly blessed them. There was much joy and rejoicing being at one with God and with each other. The people encouraged one another and sang together in praising God. Join Rozella as she…
Show a Little Bit of Jesus Each Day
“Home Missions”…what does that mean? “Our work for Christ is to begin with the family, in the home…There is no missionary field more important.” (Testimonies Vol.6 p429). It is our biblical responsibility to serve our family adequately, as well as reaching other’s hearts for Christ. If we serve outside our home to the point that our family is starved for our presence, are we truly doing God’s work and His will? Join Brenda as she explores “Home Missions” from personal…

Compassionate David
