God Knows You And Wants You
by Amy Smalley on August 29th, 2021
1 Peter 5:7 KJV - Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.Focus on that last part for a minute. God cares for you! He loves you. He knew you before you were born (Jeremiah 1:5). He wants the very best for you.Sadly, we often don’t want what is best for us. When we were lost and wandering through life satisfying the lusts of our flesh, we did not desire what was best for us.There is n... Read More

Networking 101
by Amy Smalley on July 30th, 2021
In business there’s a old adage: It’s not what you know, it’s who you know. We can modify this to a spiritual truth: it’s not what you do, it’s who you know.God doesn’t care what you do for Him. He cares that you believe in His Son. It is faith in Jesus and the price He paid for our sins at Calvary that matters to the Heavenly Father. Want scripture?Matthew 7:21-23 KJVNot every one that saith unto... Read More
Overcoming Fear
by Amy Smalley on July 18th, 2021
Pain is unavoidable. Pain can cause scars, and the fear of pain can freeze us in our tracks. The Lord, however, can overcome pain, scars, and fear. He desires for us to have courage:Joshua 1:9 KJVHave not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.When Joshua led the troops into battle to ta... Read More

Where is Your Faith?
by Amy Smalley on July 11th, 2021
Everyone has faith: the atheist believes there is no god, the sinner believes he can succeed in his job, the backslider believes he has failed. The problem is not a lack of faith, but a lack of faith in the right object.Sinners and saints alike place their faith in things that may help them succeed in this life - their abilities, their bodies, their intelligence, but one day all these things will ...

Are You Broken?
by Amy Smalley on June 28th, 2021
When Jesus fed the multitudes, He blessed the food and broke it before He distributed it to the masses. He does the same with us. Before He can use us in a ministry capacity, he has to bless us and break us.He blesses us when he accepts us into the family of God. When we accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, we are blessed. We become joint-heirs with Christ. We obtain the hope of Heaven, and... Read More
Examples to the Flock
by Amy Smalley on June 17th, 2021
Pe 5:3 Neither as being lords over God's heritage, but being ensamples to the flock.As Union Hill celebrates 100 years, we as a congregation look back at the ones who made our present reality possible. Our house of worship, our praise, and our commitment to the Lord are on the backs and prayers of those who came before us.Many in our church are blessed to have a heritage of Godliness that they ca...

Religion Can’t Save You
by Amy Smalley on May 10th, 2021
John 4:25 KJVThe woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things.Sometimes, I marvel at the faith of unbelievers. They have more faith than Christians in their lifestyle, decisions, and sometimes, even their religion.Sadly, a lot of people know about Jesus. They know there’s a messiah. They know He paid the price. They know they... Read More
