Praise of God’s Great Name
By Sandra Sheridan | | Comfort, Encouragement, Faith, God’s Love, God’s Power, Heaven, Help for the Hurting, Hope, Knowing God
Have you ever wondered why God doesn’t fix all our problems immediately? He loves us. Nothing can thwart His plans. So why does it often take so long for resolution when we face trouble? Exodus gives an example of God’s greatest goal, which is to our benefit – the knowledge and praise of His great name.

By Sandra Sheridan | | Comfort, Encouragement, God’s Love, Heaven, Help for the Hurting, Hope, Knowing God, Salvation
We were dead in our transgressions and sins but because of God's mercy He made us alive in Christ. This little word BUT changes everything!
Our Great and Terrible Enemy
By Sandra Sheridan | | Faith, Family Life, Heaven, Prayer, Small Town Happenings, Spiritual Disciplines, Spiritual Warfare, Wisdom for Living
It’s easy to forget that we have an enemy. This is not a person or a country. Our struggle is with the spiritual forces of wickedness in heavenly places.
Standing Firm in Our Freedom in Christ
By Sandra Sheridan | | Faith, Salvation, Spiritual Warfare, Wisdom for Living

Faith for Ministry – Learning to Swim in the Deep End
By Sandra Sheridan | | Counseling, Emotions, Encouragement, Faith, God’s Provision, Help for the Hurting, Hope, Knowing God, Obedience, Transforming the Mind
“I could never do that!” Have you ever looked at an impossible circumstance and felt an overwhelming sense of incompetence? God often drops us into the deep end of the pool in order to teach us to swim. But, like a good father, He doesn’t leave us to struggle on our own. He promises to be right there teaching us, supporting us, and supplying the strength we need in life and in ministry.
God Prepares the Way: Lessons from Peter and Cornelius in Acts 10
By Sandra Sheridan | | Knowing God
Have you ever wondered if God is working while you wait? In Acts 10, God orchestrated events in two different places at the same time, showing how God prepares the way long before we understand what He is doing. The story of Peter and Cornelius reminds us that even when we cannot see the whole picture, God is faithfully carrying out His plans.
God Notices Your Faithfulness: Small Acts, Eternal Impact
By Sandra Sheridan | | Faith
God notices your faithfulness, even when your efforts seem small or unseen. Through the story of Cornelius and a childhood memory of serving in a flooded church, this devotional reminds us that God sees our hearts and often works through ordinary acts of obedience in extraordinary ways.
Starlink, Mountain Roads, and Connection With God Through Jesus Christ
By Sandra Sheridan | | Salvation
When a family getaway in the mountains left us without internet service, a Starlink connection reminded me of a far greater truth: the only lasting connection with God through Jesus Christ comes through faith, not human effort.
The Eternal Impact of Faithful Service for God
By Sandra Sheridan | | Discipleship
Faithful service for God does not always happen on a stage or behind a pulpit. Sometimes it happens quietly through everyday acts of love, generosity, and obedience. The story of Tabitha in Acts 9 is a powerful reminder that God uses ordinary people in extraordinary ways to point others to Christ.
Do You Need to Change Directions Spiritually? Lessons from Saul’s Life-Changing Transformation
By Sandra Sheridan | | Salvation
Saul was convinced he was headed in the right direction — until an encounter with Jesus changed everything. Sometimes we also need to change directions spiritually. Discover how God can transform your heart, redirect your path, and give you new life in Christ.
From Spiritual Blindness to Seeing Christ Clearly
By Sandra Sheridan | | Salvation
Saul could see the road to Damascus clearly, yet he suffered from spiritual blindness that kept him from recognizing Jesus as the Messiah. Sometimes God uses unexpected circumstances to open our eyes to the truth, replacing darkness with the light of Christ.
