Video Devotional: Love Mercy from Refreshing Hope Ministries on Vimeo. Today I want to share some things that I have learned about walking with God in a sustainable way. I am talking about long term lifestyle, and what exactly is required to please God. Israel had these same questions thousands of years ago. The priests had burdened the people down with religious rituals until they literally broke...

RHM Devotional: He Changed My Mind from Refreshing Hope Ministries on Vimeo. Today I want to talk about breaking bad habits, or destructive patterns in our life. It requires allowing the Holy Spirit to change our mind. We tend to put on our Christian faces and look like we have it all together, but all of us have our inner struggles that the Holy Spirit knows about. He wants to help us change, to...

RHM Devotional: Fruit Trees from Refreshing Hope Ministries on Vimeo. Today I want to talk about the fruit of the spirit, which should be developing in our lives.

RHM Devotional: Life or Death from Refreshing Hope Ministries on Vimeo. Today I want to talk about life or death, in the Spirit.

Scripture is very clear about this: “For the letter kills, but the Spirit...

RHM Devotional: Understanding God from Refreshing Hope Ministries on Vimeo. Today I want to talk about understanding God. I believe that this is a crossroads that everyone comes to at some point, and it causes many to stumble.

RHM Devotional: Spiritual Bullies from Refreshing Hope Ministries on Vimeo. Today I want to talk about the heart of Jesus towards the lost sheep, compared to the heart of the religious leaders that should have been taking care of them.

RHM Devotional: Heroes and Monsters from Refreshing Hope Ministries on Vimeo. Today I want to talk about the potential of being a Hero, or a Monster, that exists inside each one of us.

We pick this up in Matthew 13:24 and following: He...

RHM Devotional: Face Against the Glass from Refreshing Hope Ministries on Vimeo.

RHM Devotional: Climbing God's Mountain from Refreshing Hope Ministries on Vimeo.

RHM Devotional: Can You Hear Me Now from Refreshing Hope Ministries on Vimeo. For we have become partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence firm to the end, while it is said, “Today if you will hear his voice, don’t harden your hearts, as in the rebellion.” For who, when they heard, rebelled? Wasn’t it all those who came out of Egypt led by Moses? ...

RHM News and Devotional: Time to Shine from Refreshing Hope Ministries on Vimeo. Hurricane Michael blew past us this week.
