Darrell Halk — Wed, 11 Feb 2015 14:32:19 +0000

God placed a dream and a calling in Abraham’s heart. God promised Abraham he would be a dad. Abraham was given a picture of what life would eventually be; he would have a child with his wife Sarah, he would raise this child and his family would eventually become a nation. But time ticked by, […]

Part 3 – Connections

Darrell Halk — Wed, 11 Feb 2015 14:31:42 +0000

Trust is a four-letter word. Technically, it’s a five-letter word but let’s not split hairs. Trust is, at times, casually throw around in our everyday lives. “Honey, trust me, I don’t need the map” “Who do you trust more me or the instructions?” “Mom, trust me, if we get a dog, I will walk it […]

Darrell Halk — Wed, 04 Feb 2015 16:44:30 +0000

Sometimes God calls you to do something you are completely unqualified and unprepared to do. This is so difficult to understand at times because the world tells you not to embark on a new journey, start a new job, trust in a relationship or dive into a challenge until you are ready, trained and have […]

“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord. Isaiah 55:8 God compares the distance between our thoughts and His thoughts to the expanse of the universe.

Trusting in God sounds like a great idea—until you come across an obstacle in life and there seems to be no solution in sight. We’re told in church that His way is better and you need to follow His word, but that message doesn’t seem to help when you’re faced with a broken heart after […]
