New Roots, Part 2
Seeds can be planted in many different places, but the only place that will produce crop is that of which has rich, luxurious soil. For example, Jesus tells a parable in Matthew 13:1-9. He tells us about a farmer who planted seed on a path, rocky ground, thorn bushes, and good soil. As we reviewed in Tenacious Faith’s latest post New Roots, the good soil was the olny ground where the seeds grew into mighty plants. We also asked the question, “How does this story relate to our daily lives and our faith?” Today, we will discuss how the passage relates to both. To start, read Matthew 13:18-23. After you have finished look…

The CHURCH
Did you know that all followers of Jesus can be referenced to as the church? If you are a believer, you are one of God people, apart of many other people who believe. Together, you are the church. Being apart of a local church is not a requirment, but God loves to see us in fellowship with other Christians, which is one reason why we do go to church. At my church, I have lots of friends, and we are growing in our faith togther. We share happy times and bad times with each other so that we can learn from one another, and we pray, worship, discuss the pastor’s…

Power of Prayer
The power of prayer is stronger then an elephant, brighter than the sun, and more breathtaking than any marvelous sight ever seen on this earth. Man can’t overcome it. You can see the power of prayer throughout the entire Bible. To start, look in the book of Psalms, and feel the extreme, overwhelming power of prayer. Just think! Trough prayer, we can reach and talk to this omnipresent, holy, pure, perfect God, the one and only true God, which is our Lord Jesus Christ. This thing called prayer- it’s unstoppable because no matter what language you speak, how loud you pray, or where you are Jesus hears you. Still, you may sometimes feel that God…

It’s only flag football, but your feet are scrambling across the dry grass, trying to catch the ball as it soars through the air. Your heart is pounding and sweat is dripping constantly from your face, wet like water, but sticky as honey. The ball spirals smoothly through the air, flying fast for you hands. You reach up, up, up. “Smack!” The football lands in your hands, but suddenly… Your poor flag is brutaly yanked by the defender. You may have no idea what I’m saying if you’re not famililar with “football talk.” Although, if you can even…

Brave Faith
I heard my name being called. Butterflies flew back and forth in my stomach. I was excited, but nervous. After all, I was about to meet some new people, who would be in my competition team at our church’s winter camp. My breath steadied, and I stood. Courageously, I held up my head and began walking toward my team mentors. When I came face to face with my group, my voice seemed to vanish. I felt like it was buried deep in the lump that crowded my throat. I could speak, but my words were meek and seemed unimportant. I recognized the face of one girl. Besides that, I didn’t…

Praise to the Beat
Music!!! Who loves it? I do. I actually play the piano. It’s a lot of fun. I have played for a long time, but I never get tired of it. Unlike a specific food perhaps, that gets kind of boring after you eat it every day for a week, music never gets old! GUESS WHAT!?! Jesus is just like that! He never lets you down. He will always be there for you because He loves you. Whenever you are having a bad day, He knows. Not only does He know, He sees. He has felt your pain and you aren’t alone. Even when you’re having a great day, He’s there! Jesus is soooo great! …
