Elisha took the mantle from his mentor, Elijah to carry on the good work that Elijah had committed to for a lifetime. Elisha’s faith was tested during this time of transition, tests that we all experience from time to time that push us to the limits of our faith. When we have a test of our faith, we also have a decision to make…to take up the mantel of leadership left to us or to let it go and leave it behind.

With Liberty and Justice for All: Freedom vs Liberty
Liberty and Freedom are concepts that Jesus gave humanity and infused themselves through the millennia to form the basis of the United States of America. But what is liberty? What is freedom? And what do we do with it once we experience it? Freedom is your power to choose, Liberty is your power to act…let…
To Tell a Story, Resolution
While each of us have conflict in our lives, we hope for resolution…and we know all good stories come to resolution at some point – most of us even like a happy ending! But, that is not always possible. Even so, we can apply Biblical principles to conflict resolution from James 1:19-20.
To Tell a Story, Conflict
Every person who has ever lived has experienced conflict of some sort. Whether it is internal or external, conflict is part of the human condition. The first conflict started in Genesis chapter 3 in the Bible and all the way up to today with our own personal conflicts and our national conflict of social justice…
To Tell a Story – Character
The characters of the story make their choices and move the plot along to a conclusion. Every decision you make and every act that you have is a development of your character. You also have a backstory that has made you what you are today. Your backstory does not keep your character from developing more,…
To Tell a Story – Setting
Each story has a setting that informs the plot, the character development, the choices that can be made and directs the actions that move story forward. In our own settings, we must learn contentedness, or find a way to change to a different setting, or change the setting we are in.
Connect: Breakthrough Prayer

Connect: Praying for Healing and Restoration
We are certainly in a time where we need healing in our land. 2 Chronicles 7:11-15 provides the steps to create an atmosphere where God will hear us, forgive us and heal us.

This message is to our Engage Newark family to specifically remind ourselves of our duty as believers in Jesus Christ who have a presence in the community of Newark. With that comes challenge and responsibility. Due to the arrival of COVID-19 to Ohio and Governor DeWine’s recent action to try to slow the spread of…
Connect: Who Do You Think You Are Talking To
Being connected to the Father through prayer gives us passion, power and purpose, but how you think about God dictates how you talk with God. What you think about God is the most important thing about you because it dictates everything else about you. We know that we can pray to God because God is…
Connect: Prayer, Our First Response
Prayer is often our last resort, when we’ve run out of every option and we have nowhere else to turn but to God, that’s when we pray. God would have us make prayer our first response to every situation, this is where we get our purpose and power – through prayer. Acts 12 shows the…
