“There is a fascinating story in 1 Samuel 30 that involves David having to fight the Amalekites to gain back something he had lost while living in the territory of the Philistines. How did he go about it, and what brought about his success? What have YOU lost that you would like to take back? This Bible story has some priceless lessons within it that answer these questions, so let’s take a closer look together.” Pastor Cody Paige
“What has happened this year that has convinced you that the anointing that God placed over you, previously, no longer matters? What has life done to you? Have you forgotten who you are and Who you serve? Better to go back and reset than go forward and regret.” Pastor Cody Paige

How do we approach God when we’re not sure if we should “go” and we’re not too sure of the outcome? What is the balance between faith and presumption, passion and practicality? First, ask God the plan! Continue in prayer and ask Him to use our passions and anointing for His purposes and glory. Then, be prepared to go and do what He says. Pastor Cody Paige
“It is human for us to ask ‘how.’ We ask ‘how’ when we are confused about the process to get to results. It is okay to ask God questions–He’s big enough to handle it! It is in the darkest moments that God does His best work.” –Pastor Cody Paige
“Do you ever want more than your current environment can offer? Are you dreaming dreams that others only ridicule? God matures and molds you in preparation for the anointed calling and specific stage He is preparing you for.” Pastor Cody Paige
“One of Paul’s last letters contains some of the most heartfelt messages from this great apostle. It seems Paul was aware that his time was coming to an end, and he needed to give his ‘beloved son’ words of wisdom and guidance. I wonder if Paul’s wisdom with Timothy applies to us today in these ever-changing times. Journey with me as we look at what Paul wrote from the prison in Rome.” –Pastor Tony Montenegro
“As we celebrate Shoal Creek Adventist School’s Education Sabbath today with music and scripture, we are reminded that the work that we do here on earth plants seeds that lead to a heavenly harvest. Who and what are you investing in?” Grant Wolters, SCAS Principal
“What happens when God’s plans and yours conflict? When His will and yours clash? Jonah’s story reveals some surprising insights into what following God and serving Him truly means. Are we serving God to “preserve” our Christianity or to seek to save the lost? How many of us are doing “good things” for God while living all the while in rebellion to what He has actually called us to?” –Pastor Cody Paige
“God wants a transformational relationship with us, not a transactional one. When we come to Christ, we don’t bring anything to the table for a “trade.” Christ brings it all–the I AM WHO I AM–and His sufficiency completely covers our deficiency.” –David Denton
