It took a special kind of grit to walk off the plantation with nothing but faith and the clothes on one’s back. But, friend, that's what many Texas slaves did as soon as they learned they were free on June 19,1865. That goal of freedom pushed them to establish...

Enjoy this faith-building tale. Where we often see impossibility, that’s the greatest place to grow faith. This short moral tale is part of an ongoing series – the brain child of John-Henry Burnett and part of the arts ministry at Worcester Gemeente Church. Artwork...

Have you ever seen a cat’s cradle? It is a children’s game that is played with strings. You take the strings in your hand and you pull them apart and they make a unique formation. Then another friend tries to put his hand through the cat’s cradle without getting...

The Lord has been speaking to me about understanding how to interpret our dreams. Recently I have had a series of dreams and they all seem to be saying the same thing. The reality is that what the dream seemed to indicate would happen did not come to fruition. These...
