“Don’t despise the day of small things,” says God. All through time, God has called young people who may not know what lies ahead.

As we offer up our heart and life for Him alone, we are a…

All throughout the Bible, God often used ordinary, flawed, and fearful people; people who were willing to say “Yes!” to Him. One such person is a lesser-known disciple named Ananias, whose simple obedience to God's call led to Saul’s (Paul) conversion, impacting generations as a result. When we say “Yes!” to God, it releases faith, restores hope an…
