Here Are 31 Bible Verses About Worry So You Can Fear Not Every Day of the Month
There’s enough Scripture here to get you through every day of the month, no matter when you start it. One idea is to copy and paste each verse into a reminder app in your phone. How about setting the reminders to show up during a time when you typically experience worry, fear, or anxiety?
Do Miracles Happen? Yes! Here’s How to Recognize Them and Teach Kids About Them
When your kids have questions about the miracles they’ve asked God for, or why a good God would let bad things happen, don’t skirt the issue and pretend that everything works out great for everyone. Instead, be honest that God is powerful enough to work any miracle, and He is good, but suffering does still exist, even in the lives of people who are completely devoted to Jesus.
It’s okay to look around at everything going on in this world and wonder how to see God in it. Specifically, it’s okay to wonder how to see God’s goodness. He didn’t just make us and then leave us in the dark to believe He’s good without ever giving us some way to see it. God’s goodness is incredibly observable, and you don’t have to take my or anyone else’s word for it. So let’s keep this simple. Here are three questions to help you know where and how you can look for God’s goodness. These questions work because they will help you define what you really believe about God.

I have found a place at Orchard Church. It's like coming home again where the people are so warm and friendly and are genuinely concerned about you. Our pastor steps aside every Sunday allowing the Holy Spirit to use him as a "suit of working clothes." I cannot wait for Sunday to come!

We've never been part of a church that's just getting started, so this is all new territory for us. The bottom line is, it's AWESOME! It's incredible to see God at work, bringing people together and making the pieces fall into place.

Orchard has been like a bonus prize for me. I fell in love with a man named Stephen who invited me to attend this church and I have fallen in love with Christ all over again because of this church and Phil Pike's gift of communicating God's love and grace.

What drew me to Orchard were the strong family relationships. I grew up in church all my life, but did not know Christ Himself. He was so misrepresented in the religious 'Christianity' I knew. When I came to Orchard I met genuine, imperfect people who loved God and loved each other with all their hearts,

I first came to Orchard when visiting my sister. For me, Orchard is an oasis where I can be refreshed with living water. Every Sunday I come with expectation of what message I will receive from our Lord. It is always great. It is a privilege to be part of Orchard!
